…and seconded to that, around 9,000km for me, and the steering is precise, steady, never vague, very solidly planted at speed on the highway, and in all the off road conditions ive tried so far. As you say, it’s distinctive, but also very good. Don’t worry, if you need this car, it wont bother you! And if what you really want is a range rover, or ranger or whatever, crack on and buy that
I had the same thing. Car went to limp mode after accelerating from gravel to asphalt. In my case the stability control triggered limp mode. Was not funny to drive with 3kmh on a motorway.
your politics is your business.
Subtle, very subtle.
Age limits also on the lower end please. Everyone at less than 45 simply does not have enough life experience, so a practical lower limit would probably be 50 or 55. Bad experience around here with ministers and other political personnel with a year of birth '80 or younger...
Well that’s bloody useless in a car designed specifically for 4wding, driving through the brakes to reduce wheel spin and gain more control is vital, even in a 4wd with advanced TC such as LR
…Andrew’s reporting agents fault code read; so far its not something that has happened with applying brake and accelerator. ive tried, no issue.
Even if I agree with sentiments written earlier in this thread I tend to agree with Roving Grenadier. Best for all that we stay on topic.
I mean, I’m sure we’d all have fun making some political statements etc, but man, I was thinking this was the last safe place on the internet hahaha
I call it 'Walter Rohrl' mode!In aviation we call this Short Take Off if you're on a short runway.
(Although we have both feet on the brakes and the right hand on the throttle)
Deep in your heart, you're pilot, man!

I have the petrol version, but also experienced some lag at first, which meant I couldn’t pull out quickly at roundabouts if auto-stop had engaged. After trying different techniques it is possible to pull away more quickly if I lift my foot off the brake a fraction earlier than I’m used to. This gives the engine a split second to restart, so there is almost no lag when I hit the accelerator. It’s a bit unnerving at first, but lifting off the brake doesn’t move the vehicle on restart, so there is no unwanted lurch forward. The other thing I’m getting used to, now the engine is run in, is giving it more beans when I need to pull away smartly. Feels a bit lead-footed at first, but I guess such a heavy vehicle just needs more gas to get it rolling. I’m getting 21-22 mpg on average, so I don’t think I’m overdoing it.

Sorry, could not resist (PS: Image does not reflect my politics!)I believe the steering of this thread has returned to center, but let me just throw out a quick reminder we should avoid politics, religion, and if a hotdog is a sandwich.
Thank you for your understanding.

My thoughts exactly. Two-foot driving in an auto-transmission is pretty much essential for technical terrain.
We literally spent months driving these vehicles with two foot driving, with no errors registered because of it. Granted, it was never done on the highway, but on technical terrain, there are no problems with it; in fact, in early Ineos talks it is specifically brought up as a feature compared to some other brands that cut throttle immediately
