Does a properly working HDC give the pressure to the wheels that need it?Meaning does it switch bias from front to rear when backing down a hill.Thefront has the majority of the braking power. When going down a hill in reverse the weight is transfered from the front to the back were there is less braking power allowing the front tires to lock up and have no steering control. Don't forget the hand brake when you have brake failure, that is if you have time.

Its my understanding that HDC Works to Make you not lock up any wheels hold a pre set Speed and keep you having full stering Control bud sadly in this case it didint do that it went from me letting the break go to 50 plus in a matter of seconds and it was in Reverse not drive .. and the e break wasent much help cause in my year its a cuopling on the drive shaft like a electric clamp sorta that clams on the Drive shaft when applied wich just would locked up the wheels worse if you look at the picture below youll see the HDC was still on

 

AFAIK, the HDC controls braking at each wheel, and pulses much faster than you can apply by foot.

 

RoverHum we belive you that you were in low and with the HDC on. We are just trying to figure out what went wrong so that others may learn and not have this happen to them.
We cannot afford to lose any readers.
Ithink Willie might be onto something. Over 60% of your stopping power is at the front wheels. It would make sense that the rear brakes couldnt handle the load and the HDC gave more power to the front wheels not knowing that you were in reverse.
I dont know, I didnt engineer the system.
This is another reason I like DI's, if something goes wrong it is my fault all the way, no questions, my fault.

 

welli spoke to Land Rover here and asked Some Questions and they said the System knows if im in 1st 2nd or R That it had to be a system failiure so i dunno i guess i wont try it in reverse next time ..so i found an 04 Discover G4 Editin Or an 05 Range Rover Hse noth have under 40000 Miles ... so im Really having a time Deciding what to get next... my wife dosent want e to get another land Rover But i explained to her had i been in any thing else i most likely be dead or alot worse off then what i am so she agree to let me get another on thank god cause i would had to file divorc papers on monday if she tried to keep me from my Land Rover .. j/k but yeah it would be a huge fight .. any one wheeling this weekend ?

 

'04 Disco all the way. It is the best year for Disco's by far.

 

Apparently your wife has never heard the saying that if the horse bucks you, you get back in the saddle and try again. I know that's not quite how it goes but you get the picture. You're absolutely right, the fact that you and the kids are alive should be all the reason she needs for letting you get another Rover. Nothing else would protect you like it did. I have never looked at the Range Rovers but I really want an 04 Discovery. It has all the best a Discovery has to offer, except for a diesel engine here in the states but that's just my preference. The LR3 is nice and I've been impressed with what I have read about their ability off-road but they are just too expensive. Just my 2 cents.

 

well im really looking hard i just found an 06 fully loaded LR3 KBB is 28 i can Get it for 16999 so i think im gonna have to get it plus is my Fave color Combo just like mine White with Black Trim.. but then id have to move to The LR3 page and ive grown to likeyou fellas ..

 

dont worry about us..if you can get a LR3 $11k below BB go for it!

 

where have you been searching? I've been looking for LR3s and i'd love to get one for 16.9k
