you can also get into Extended Mode when you're driving in a lake just fast enough to start to make the car want to float.... (cough...)Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

I hear that if you drive in to a lake just enough for it to go in to super-extended mode as you float, the wheels then rotate 90 degree and turn in to propellors giving you up to 6 knots....
Can anyone tell me how to get in to this mode? MY15 DIY Black Pack (Better than factory and half the price!)

Also I'm sure I've read somewhere in the manual that if you happen to drive off a cliff a pair of wings will automatically be deployed from underneath the sills but hill descent must be engaged and the hazards flashing.

True. Apparently you can programme the land rover key to do that but only on 06 HSEs with the modified jet casing.... MY15 DIY Black Pack (Better than factory and half the price!)

Just a standard poncy HSE D3 no modifications
Yes DG those were the days someone said there is no way you will get a D3 up Chapel Gate Ha so we took 3 or 4 to the top then turned round and came back down 8)In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

One thing to remember is that if you are in an off road situation and the car goes into super extended mode be very careful when you get out of the car because it's higher than you think and you may just go over tit, so I've heard Cheers Ian
