I converted my LC so that low range could be had in 2 wheel drive. Made slow tight manoeuvres a lot easier.

This is the main reason I have manual hubs. 2wd low range with a automatic gives very controlled manoeuvres.

In my opinion the beating that an auto dishes out to a manual off road is not funny. I will not be going back to manual.

We've ordered the caravan (won't be delivered until early next year)
And see how the Jimny copes. lf it's no good, we'll use the Defender.
But hopefully it will be alright. The caravan is a Swift Basecamp 2.
lt's under 1,000 kg. We also ordered the AL-KO ATC anti snake system to be fitted.

We will do a towing course before taking delivery, as neither of us have towed anything more than a small trailer (and l was crap at reversing that)
