ABS and TC.
Is it possible to switch off ABS and TC on an 11MY Defender 90 ?

Andy.

Haven't tried it myself but heard that if you switch ignition on and before moving vehicle if you depress brake pedal 10 times it disables the system! Sure someone 'in the know' will enlighten! There is another thread somewhere with an explanation! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

my dad just took delivery of his new 110, and i got told by the guy at landrover there is no way to disable either without removing fuses?

Censored !!! Big hairy pink ones! The 'guys at Land Rover' know f"all and in some dealerships are so far up their own chuffs when speaking to them and them answering all you can hear is a non - sensible mumble with some burbling in between! Rolling with laughter

In mitigation there are some decent Independants that realise that it pays to be savvy and knowlegeable about the vehicles! Dealership front showroom staff are like amoebas! Laughing If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Can't obviously comment on yourselves but a certain dealership in the area where I am I can! Clean sweep wouldn't do any harm! TH Whites in Swindon break the mould, Justin their Service Manager and their Parts Department are excellent! Maybe on reflection I was a bit hasty - Any amoebas in Lookers? May have to pop down if I'm ever in the vicinity! But 'front floor staff do have a tendancy to speak rot sometimes without really 'knowing' enough about the product their selling or the answers to questions their being posed! Aren't even willing to do the research to find the answers or go ask someone in the back that may know! No real offence meant just a personal opinion maybe biased due to the level of service obtained from James French in the past...definately no amoebas there!

Glyn.... No fence sitting for me! Laughing Just a bit o' back peddling now and again...like above! Nice to poke a hornets nest now and again! Thumbs Up If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
