ok i have just a quick question. keep in mind my stagea is a RWD only model

it has happened a couple of times. if when making a turn around a round about or an intersection etc and i hit a large bump or rut in the road with one of my rear wheels the slip light comes on gives a couple of flashes and i loose power until the light goes back off. i just want someone to explain what is happening and if i can stop it. i am pretty sure but not certain that when i turn my traction controll off it doesn't happen.

i think i have read on here somewhere that that light comes on when the LSD slips but i am pretty sure there is no problem with my diff as she steps out pretty nicely under power when i ask her to.

Thats exactly how the traction control works.

How fast are you going around these roundabouts, bumps or rut's on the road....???

the 'slip' light is telling you that your rear tyres are 'slipping' on the road, when that happens, it will cut power to the rear wheels, Thus: "Traction Control".

Nothing to do with your LSD slipping.....

If you dont want that to happen... turn your "Traction Control" off....... :D

not going fast at all. it happens most on 90 degree turns at sets of lights if i just touch a yellow ripple hump or something. i was just curious thats all so if it's meant to be happening then thats fine. i thought that it might have been a loose sensor or something.

Happens with mine as well but mine doesnt sound as sensitive.

it wont happen with TC off

with TC off you will never lose power when breaking traction or at least i never have.

just tested this on the way to uni today hahaha.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
