No. Some "special" editions had the TC and HDC removed ..... I had to recover a very annoyed owner of one such crippled "special edition"

Most of them do - look for a button behind the gear lever.

Some say that this is just a random collection of letters, and that it can only be
understood by Top Gear's tame racing driver. All we know is, it's called The Sig.

That will only show it has HDC. There are model variants with *NO* traction control, even though they have HDC.

Without the TC, how does HDC work?

I thought it used the TC...

No, the HDC uses the ABS system, and you can get non-abs Freelanders....

TC is just another trick they can pull with ABS systems ;-)

think it tended to be the "base" models on the Mk1 that didn't have HDC or maybe some of the 'special editions' mentioned by Thrasher - these probably based on the base model.

As for FL2's - not 100% sure, but I think they all have HDC as std
