Won't run away with the cruise control in my car - that will keep speed down even on quite a steep hill. And if it doesn't need to be actively braking, it will switch to coasting mode - so there will be no relationship between rpm and road speed.
Will mostly stay in 4th uphill at 30 - but will sometimes drop to 3rd. (Of course, some hills are too steep for that.)
Well of course Thatcher was the exact opposite: She ma it possible for people who did something and worked hard to make money. People like me.
Blair just stole it all.
And the big companies moved in and destroyed the little ones with regulations, by lobbying the EU.
No, that was Blair.,
He took our (i.e. humanity's) worst weaknesses - greed, selfishness, idleness etc - and declared them to be virtues. Basically self declared victimns made money. People who worked hard for it, who were good at it
- they were told they were privileged and a lot of unwashed asrseholes on benefits roamed te streets looking for them
Thatcher didnt start those trends.
Someone does though.
Keep taking the medication dennis. It will stop the foaming mouth and the swivelling eyes.
Some hope! One of the roads that I go to work on used to leave the motorway at a roundabout and have a 60mph speed limit - there is no pedestrian, cycle or other access as it only connects to the motorway at that end. The next roundabout along has just been removed and replaced by traffic lights. The speed limit now goes Motorway>50>lights>60>roundabout>60>roundabout>40, why that 50 is there is a mystery. It has been only a couple of weeks since the limit changed and the 50 signs were erected and if anyone misses the 50 sign (easily done if vision is obscured by a truck while entering and immediately exiting a busy roundabout), the first two, brand new, repeaters are hidden in bushes.
For once you got something correct, greed and selfish behaviour was well established in trade unions well before Thatcher arrived on the scene.
In fact thad these traits not existed as you describe, Thatcher would not have arrived on the scene. She wouldn't have been able to.
Previous car on same hill didn't run away in 3rd. To stop this car running away it needs to be in 2nd but that means the engine is doing about 3,000 rpm. IIRC 30 in 3rd is is just under 2,000 rpm, yes that is a big ratio change, also I'm pretty sure 4th to 6th are all overdrives.
Mines manual, it does have Hill Descent Control but the fastest that will do is around 15 mph and will only become active, if switched on, in 1st or 2nd. Its a "feet off", steer only thing, you set the speed via the cruise control +/- buttons.
The country elected Maggie to do one thing only. Break the Unions.
If only she had stopped there....
Didn't the unions learn that from the landowners and slavery trade.
And despite draconian laws, discovered they weren't actually the problem. So just closed the industries instead.
What is of note is that the party of business was incapable of sorting any.
Took the Germans, Japanese and Indians to show the UK how to build cars here. So where does that leave those BREXITS who go on and on about Sovereignty?
Same with most of UK industry. All foreign owned.
If it's a Land Rover variant I would get it seen to. The aim of HDC is to limit your rate of descent to 5mph.
She was stopped as she was about to break the EU.
The older versions HDC (Disco II) certainly but you selected the fixed speed by gear and it only operated in low ratio, IIRC. Finding a hill steep enough for it to be kick in was not easy, >1:6 required for it to start to run away in 2 low. I never found one steep enough for 1 low. I did use 1 low to keep the wheels turning when decending a several inches deep snow covered 1:6, still didn't go in the direction it was being steered but it was a controlled decent not a locked up slide. B-)
FL2 has no low box but 1 and 2 are quite high ratio gears (the only two gears HDC will operate in) max speed in 2 is about 12 mph and you can set the actual speed down to a few mph via the cruise +/1 nudge buttons.
