Another stuck in the mud thread...

Well, ambition outweighed ability again:

Not sure which is funniest - the depth of the rear wheel or the look of pure 'happiness' on Mrs BTK's face. At least I've tested super extended mode on the suspension now.

I clearly wasn't trying hard enough as it easily came out on the first pull with the farmer's Land Cruiser...

Well, you got half way through. A bit faster and you might have made it (or not). MY2022 D5 HSE D300 - with extra nice bits added

Oops!

I've been meaning to ask - how do you select "super extend" mode? 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄

2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!

You can't normally select it.

Once the car detects that it is grounded on something, it will automatically raise the suspension to extended mode and only then offer you the option to raise to super extended mode by pressing the brake pedal and holding the raise button for 3 seconds. MY2022 D5 HSE D300 - with extra nice bits added

Or as I found out, rather than raising the vehicle more, it can push the wheels further down into the mud...
