Title: skidding!
Post by: OMEGA VXR on 19 July 2007, 10:49:37

Just a quick one..... with all the rain we've been getting lately and all the roads moist! when i come to a junction with a slight hill the back end starts to skid it does this in 1st 2nd & 3rd gear in 4th its fine,its a gls model so i assume it wont have an LSD,but not sure.

Is this kind of thing normal in the wet? or is there something happening in the diff?

Thanks

Lee

Normaly a sign of cheap tyres and/or no traction control fluid (petrol)

will it definately have traction control? I was told mine doesnt cos i have no switch to turn it on or off, even though theres a TC light on the dash panel although it's never lit up :D

i used to get wheelspin with my old tyres on, they were as bald as montel, i got uniroyal rainsports on now
