As I get more used to going up and down the track, I’ve actually resorted to just raising the suspension up to max height rather than using off-road mode. That’s because in off-road mode it likes to default to first gear, and it’s not that rough or slow-going - second is more suitable about from one steep bit.

That is odd but the expanding theory makes sense I suppose. I am assuming your pics are a hot bonnet?
The other car is my aunt’s Subaru Forester. Island folk go in for unpretentious and reliable workhorses!
