Traction control?
Good evening, just in from a night lamping foxes, it was my first night out since I got my new double cab TDCi, it went every where I wanted and did it with ease. My only question is does it have traction control or not,my TD5 did and the light illuminated on the dash when it was active, this Defender didn't, does that mean no traction control.

Cheers for any feedback

Did you notice any spining up of the tyres at all? It only lights up when it's actually in operation, so maybe it wasn't needed.

Depends what model it is, county spec didn't have ABS or traction as standard it had to be specified. Lock up the brakes on some grass and see if you have ABS is a quick way of telling.....................Oh and leave some foxes for the hounds Thumbs Up Original Member Pie n Pea Club.

If it has TC (and ABS) the quickest way of telling is seeing what lights come on when you put your key to PII - you should have the ABS and the Tyre symbol in yellow Mike

Or perhaps you are a demon driver and automatically drove where you could find traction so the Tallent Controll was not required Thumbs Up 130's have feeling's as well you know Smile

Thanks for the positives (talented driver) but it doesn't have TC or ABS its only the XS model that has all this unless it's been specified.
willy eckerslike left you some foxes.
