Land Rover Discovery Td5 EBD Brake Test

[lldaggerll]

Wonder if it has the ACE system or not?

[ILessThan3ToJizz720]

I tried this test late one evening on the m6 motorway when it was empty. My disco series 2 stopped that quick from 60mph I though the car I had on the trailer was going to end up in the boot !!! :@) Discovery Series 2 is the last propper Discovery. Disco 3 is far to electronic for its own good, it will go wrong. I have a m8t who has one on a '07' reg and its had fault after fault, clutch, gearbox, engine management and now this week an injector has gone.

[cornishrob123]

well im sold on disco

[sitandswivelnow]

that trailer properly drifted!!!  :D

[jassem007]

wow this good .

i have land rover discovery 2000

[richoverip]

Which would be most capable in *this* situation? The disco or the defender?

[SuperWarriormonk]

Wouldn't wanna do that too much.

What's the trailer?

[sgbnews]

Ifor Williams

[godzillaisnuclea123]

hey landcruiser guy why are you watching this vid when hate you landies why go watch ur panzy toyata get stuck in a puddle...........idiot

[FonsecaMeireles]

EBD stands for Electronic Brake Distribution or is it something else?

[onodli0]

electronic frakeforce distribution

[filiphilopeno]

but what would have happened if there was no EBD, just ABS?

[fredawn]

all that ABS does is massarge the brakes to try and stop them skiding, this does not always work. However with EBD the computer calculates which wheel requires what brakes and can adjust them to suit to bring the vehicale to a nice smooth quick stop

[filiphilopeno]

I haven't seen an EBD test before, and this one really shows off how well it works particularly on the old Disco. and I loved watching the Defender roll through that turn :D

すごい性能＆制動

[jumbodoug]

good old 90s lol. still got shed loads of body roll even when on the back of a trailer....cannae beat thm eh

[defender90v8]

I wish my d90 had breaks like the disco.

[blackcot]

trailer brake......

so they prove that a disco is not good....

[dooglmire]

what you on about?

[Huw444444444]

no the disco brakes did not lock however the trailers did because the trailer doesn't weigh over 3500kg so it doesnt break when the car breaks slowly, however in a emergncy stop they lock automaticly N00B

[BlesamaSoul]

if you knew anything about physics and engineering you would see that this test proves the Disco is superb! The newer versions built upon this success. the car in front is not a Toyota because the LR arrived their hours ago!

[ILessThan3ToJizz720]

@BlesamaSoul WELL SAID !!!

[landcruisers4life2]

so I guess the D90 broke down...

[TDV6GS]

Land rover were proving that you can stop a really heavy weight (i.e A defender 90) and still the disco's brakes will not lock up with the EBD system. It didn't break down. So stop having a little sly dig at LR. Land rovers were building 4x4's way before Toyota started!

[landcruisers4life2]

I know what they were doing....it was a joke.

Rovers are complete garbage mate and your a damn fool if you say otherwise.

p.s. Toyota had a 4x4 on the road in 1942, it became the Land Cruiser over the years, it was not mass produced and was only built for the Japan army. correct me if im wrong (which im not) but Land rover was begun in 1948. So who came first?

[paulw85a]

that was from a land rover dvd that was sent out when they launched the series 2

[nedster01]

ace rocks i can do the ovington bends at 55 mph despite the arse end screaming like f**k

[jiggyboy69]

PURE DISCO OWNAG...loved the stability control around those corners to

[Peterbilt500]

that was the trailer brakes

[MikeJones1968]

That's fitted with ACE (Active Cornering Enhancement) the same as mine. Cornering is unbelievable for such a big high car. You can see the body roll on the Defender. Good test to compare the difference it makes.

[tukkerterror22]

well, that is just a kind of stability program of the Land Rover Discovery.

when the car is going to bank to the left, the suspension is trying to keep the car in control.

So, he doesnt bank to any side,, my uncle got one:D Great car..

[timitim66]

That is some control on that bend. Most people would have turned it over

[thepopeis1]

if u look closely u can see the wheels on the trailer locking up. so the trailer had breaks to witch wakes a huge diferince especially when their is that much whate on it

[paulstearne]

whate?

[gmspeedfreak]

i like the one on the trailer better, so much nicer looking

[paulstearne]

that could have gone SO wrong

[montymount]

How the **** did that trailer not brake away coming round that bend. Amazing !!!

[regisfun]

nice but do u relly want to wer the brake pads ?

[job31verse1]

do you want to come across as an idiot?

[regisfun]

lol yor the one that has a land rover discovery ! or test them wich is sad cant you test sports cars or somthing lol only joking nice vid

[RichP621]

You would stand as a good candidate for Dumb and Dumber, regisfun.

[regisfun]

range rover sport test that (brembo brakes)

[DiscoHSE]

verry impressive, does the back end dip becuase of the trailors brakes, which pull down on the back ?

[sgbnews]

I should think there is a significant weight transfer moment about the front axle of the trailer as a result of the 2 tons odd of defender wants to keep going. I reckon the defender must have been strapped down pretty well.

[scousebastard]

@sgbnews fucking right or it would of been a disco defender hybrid after that.

[lazerusmfh]

@sgbnews my discovery exhibits this same behavior, i tow loads heavier than this daily. It is weight transfer from the trailer to the tongue, since the vehicle is slowing down, trailer desires to keep moving, leverage pushes the rear end of the vehicle down, and the front of the vehicle up.
