Seeing that many electronics in a british made car makes me nervous. Just joking, looks awesome!

HDC is Hill Descent Control, not traction control, duh.

Rrrrrrright. Thanks Mr. Brown, resident Land/Range Rover expert.

I should really read a manual before I open my mouth.

Not in the conventional manor.

Not if you ask the tires. Im sure they dont know the difference between the breaking point of traction under positive or negative acceleration, though im just being pedantic, i know what you meant. Technically though, hdc is a traction control.

It's all good. I meant for the original comment to come out as sort of snobby/sarcastic. Just messing with JBH.

It controls speed going down a hill. I don't think it messes with traction control.

If it controlls tire slip (positive or negative) it is, by definition, traction control. Hdc uses the same logic as tc to prevent uneven wheel slip to avoid loss of control, they are very much related. Also...im just pushing buttons here
