had a look at the new disco 4 today at work all i can say is Shocked Shocked far to many computers to go tits up, it even has a computer that helps you when towing and applies the brake when it detects any swaying to cancel it out. i think they should of sorted out the problems with the disco 3 first Laughing Laughing Laughing

I think I would prefer my old series where all it take is brute force and brute ignorance to drive, compared to some of these vehicles that you need a computing degree hust to get them out of the driveway.

There is no dout that vehicles are getting to computerised but hey thats the way things are going and there only going to get worse most 4x4rs that are getting built are all for show if you showed them mud i think they would just get bogged down Embarassed

A perfect example is the BMW X5 (i think) it struggles with wet grass let alone mud.

the inabilty of the X5 is usually down to the completely inadequate excuse that BMW inserted behind the main controls...... the driver! lol!

This is true but but I am sure that even with road tyres on a disco could still out preform it?
