| Disco Performance in Botswana Sand |
|
Happy to report that the Disco 4 really is awesome. My friend's tow bar broke and I had to pull his huge 4X4 tailor through the Botswana sand, which is notorious.
The vehicle was amazing, but I have to report the following 2 curious resultant issues:
1) On the way back the glow-plug controller broke leaving the plugs on and draining the battery. I could still start but the computer was moaning about the battery. The fault mysteriously went away but LR replaced the unit anyway.
2) The main fan picks up and actually sandblasts the protective material on the under side of the bonnet. Not good and will require some attachment to remedy in future.
I also lost an very expensive MTS tire and now see the point of owning a tire pressure monitoring gadget. 
regards, CHM regards, Carl-Hein
