to a certain extent, yes, although weight transfer would reduce the friction on the other three wheels and if the traction available is less than the force required to pull the rear left wheel out of the rut, any vehicle with any tyres will fail... even LR can't change the basic principles of physics Wink


OK, it was funny that the rear left wheel in the the rut was spinining even at idling..... ( foot-throttle and brakes were free... transmission in drive (second gear in low range was selected ) . Forward- Brake- Reverse helped to dig a ditch with rear left wheel. I got 1 metre free for acceleration. Than reverse and full trottle and jump in the field for freedom Very Happy .



PS. Such kind of roads are now really hard in our country. The problem was that it happended just after snow thawing. I stopped at the road. It was my fault. The car was not able to go on straight more that in few feet. At that moment all four [/b]weels were loaded. It was before the attemp to U-turn and depression of rear wheel. I tried U-turn cause traction in reverse was better as I saw.

United Kingdom 2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Manual Zermatt SilverDiscovery 3

That wheel would spin at idle as it is the one with the least friction, Traction control and difflock will only assist once a minimum of 5% throttle is applied, or throttle angle is increased, of course, too much throttle won't help at all Wink
