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!

@BlesamaSoul WELL SAID !!!

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.

well im sold on disco
-
that trailer properly drifted!!! :D

@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.

@sgbnews fucking right or it would of been a disco defender hybrid after that.
-
wow this good .
i have land rover discovery 2000
-
Which would be most capable in *this* situation? The disco or the defender?
-
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
Wouldn't wanna do that too much.
What's the trailer?

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

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.
