jaysjetski Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 no, the tc light is the traction control. its flashing because a wheel is spinning and the cars traction control system is active and trying to stop it spinning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeSheds Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 .it has pulled cars out of drifts climbed hills . what a machine it seems to have came alive Glad you are enjoying it - they are great aren't they For those facing snow in a 4x4 for the first time though, please bear in mind that stopping it is no better than any other car (and may be worse): I have a DD saloon with road tyres, rear wheel drive and ABS - it is absolutely useless when trying to get going in snow or on ice (I need a run-up to get up the access ramp over the pavement and into my driveway) but will stop better than my off-roader on ice or frozen-compacted snow...

Tone_F Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Freelanders are seiously uner-rated aren't they? Ignore the diff lock snobs, I've got a 96 300 TDi disco sat on the rive with fuel delivery problems and my Freelander 1.8 XEi keeps going, driving friends and family everywhere (though not 6 passengers at a time), HDC is excellent, I will be genuinely sad to see it go- I love the disco's flexibility too much to let her go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
