yes it will, the Traction Control system is very good, more emphasis is needed on decent tyres, whether AT or MT's.

The CDL no doubt does inprove the vehicle no end and means you have less spining wheels when attacking an obstacle, the major difference is the CDL is locked in when you want, the TC system has to "lose" traction before it works, thats the negative side to it.

A CDL equiped transfer box can be added for not much money to an 02 plate later down the line should you wish to do so.

This series focuses far too much on the Land Rover. Different vehicles may require different tactics. For example, compact 4x4's will perform quite differently on the same terrain than the larger, heavier, Land Rover. I've driven various 4x4's so know this for a fact. The Land Rover will fairly reliably get you there, but the compact 4x4's often make off-road driving more fun.

Yes diff vehicles perform differently I agree, but the "basic" rules apply to any

4x4 tbh, not just a Land Rover

@JinxanatorF22Yes ,tire tread design and depth along with inflation pressure make a HUGE difference! Also drivers ability is very important ,my friend is one of the best off roaders I have seen and he has no locker in his vehicle just good tires-no he can't go everywhere but he doesn't miss much! we are going to start posting 4x4 how to videos soon -learning to drive in the forest not the desert

what the hell is this

Ok serious question here. im looking at getting me a disco 02 model, which does NOT feature the Central Locking Diff option. now admittedly, im a pretty rookie offroader, so im not looking to do anything too heavy. BUT will a vehicle with no CLD feature still be able to tackle some things like a steep hill, etc

"Hump at right angles" O.O

@stewartx5 ... wtf do you mean with a compact 4x4 ... ? Shit like a VW Tiguan? Modern SUV nonsense?
