Is there a special map for these roads
QuoteQuoteCrap.
That's how mine is in the snow.
2.0 Auto, WWD, and a fair bit of lowdown torque.
A little better when I had the 'hold' function on.

What spring retaining clips?
Anti-rattle clips I would think.

Guessing to keep the pad firmly in place
Sensor clips to the butterfly spring. The anti-rattle sits againstthe top of the pads & hook under the pad retaining pins at each end.
