The wifes Freelander 2 with abs & tc is superb in the snow - much better than my 100" with Detroit true trac & rear locker plus mud terrains - but on Ickle there is no tc/abs and am happy - old adage 'parts left out cost nothing and cause no service problems' and I drive accordingly.

Freelanders are great in Snow and Wet grass type environments

Tell me about it.........I lent my wife the Freelander last winter when the snows started and i still can't get it back from her..........unless it needs fuel or taxing...

ABS on a Defender? What a joke. But the TC is without any doubt extremely useful

If you have one you kind of have the other though.

my 90 skips and skids nicely on man hole covers etc. abs would stop that.

you can pull the fuse on a td5 if you want to disable the abs for snow etc.

although, abs in the snow isn't a problem for me

You get TC, you get ABS, as it is one box.

For me its a no brainer at £765, it used to be a £1500 option on new but with the change in the taxation brackets etc,etc it came down in price. Dont ask me why.

ABS is a great safety feature and the first time you hit that pedal hard and instinctively steer out of the way of the danger that £765 will be money well spent.

ETC is simply amazing as an off road aid and of course fantastic in snow and ice. Remember that it will reacte a damm sight quicker than a human. If you watch a Freelander 2 work out off road then you will simply marvel at its ability due to ETC.

Our new county is ordered WITH it.

Go for it.
