Traction Control Question
As I consider the Disco as my next car, I have a lot of questions. First, can someone explain the traction control system in this car for me. Can it be fully turned off? How many settings does it have? (snow, sand.. ect) I know the LR3 has many settings but does this?
Also, can someone clarify that the locking diff was dropped in the US after 2003? Someone said this in another post. Thanks for the help.

RE: Traction Control Question
the traction control cannot be tuned off in the older disco's and the in 2003 (the facelift model) the centre differential finnaly returned as an option, well in the UK anyway.

There are no adjustment for the 03's ETC, it just works when ever the ECU pick up a slipping wheel.
As for the dropping of the CDL, the last one came out on the early product 01's, they weren't hooked up and needed to be converted back to a linkage that would allow it to be engaged.
Your 03 doesn't have that ability and if you are planning on installing lockers at some time, you will need to replace your t/case with the older style or one from a 04.
