There must be a way of turning the hill hold function off surely? Someone on here mentioned that they thought is was disabled when special programmes were active, but obviously not. I agree that rock crawling needs precise throttle control on occasion.
Can I add that your findings are really interesting, thank you for posting.

Answering my own question above, yes you can as per the screen grab of the iPhone owners manual attached. The bit near the bottom about auto brakes preventing progress is the main point. -

Oh
Can it be disabled by holding the park brake switch down ?

No I dont.
In the video we were experimenting with gears not TC, get in the correct gear to suit the conditions and you shouldn't need TC was our goal
I wasn't really trying that hard and didnt want to cut the ground up as I should not have attempted departure in that area. If I had properly 'booted it' to get the TC working you would have seen the TC kicking in.
As you will see in this scenario low 3rd worked better than low 2nd.
I could have got out of the water first time if I had gone fast enough but what would we have learned? lets face it you could do it with a transit van if you went fast enough.
We were playing with the settings and gears all day to get the best out of the vehicle. Its a very different vehicle to the D3 D4.
Hi Andrew,
thanks for those pics and vids! Very nice color btw.. My Disco Sport is Firenze Red with black roof as well. I would have loved my D5 to be in the same color, but it ended up white instead.
But back to topic... You seem to know a lot about Disco offroading. How come you got yourself a D5 without rear locking diff?
Greets,
Hauser

As mentioned its not that much of an advantage in my opinion. I have witnessed D3/4s without e-diffs go places that cars with e-diffs couldn't get to. Driver training and understanding the vehicle will get you further than any e-diff -

Okay, thanks you two for that input.
I was a bit worried that my pre-owned D5 had no e-diff.
Feel better about it now!

How does it drive on the road with the DuraTracs? Have you noticed a major negative impact in fuel economy?
As you would expect going from a road bias tyre to off road/road. A bit noisier, it handles different but not worse, fuel is down a bit.
Andrew, love the off road pics etc, any further thoughts on the tyres a year on?
My Tyre guy is keen on fitting the grabber AT3's as correct rating but i found sidewalls bit soft previously so have been using BFG on other stuff,
I like the look of the Duratracs and noticed the discos at paris how have them fitted by LR.
