Funny you should say this. I have had the TC light flashing unexpectedly a couple of times since they've been gritting (tyres on the back have only done 1 or 2 K, hence they should grip OK, and I am not minded to leave rubber everywhere given that the bill's still in my short term memory ).

Meanwhile, the Westfield has nearly swapped ends on me a couple of times. It's let go so violently that I've actually gone over the back end and checked it because I was convinced something was shifting under load.

This might explain everything.

Many councils have been using this crap for a while now,one reason why I dont ride bikes very often in the winter,apparently its like hitting black ice.

I liked the saying " a Volvo is for life not just for Xmas"   . I wonder why they put that !

Some council officials must be real dumf*cks using some thing that hasn't been fully tested especially were public safety is concerned

I can beat that, I was driving to work this morning and drove off the meadowhall roundabout off M1 to head into Sheffield and just as you come round the blind corner watching the muppets in the inside lane dont try and cut accross I had to drive over 30/40 M20 bolts that were spread accross the road  

I was sure I would have damaged something but hadnt. If it wasnt for being in such a hurry I would have stopped and given the wagon driver parked up the road a piece of my mind. They were cleaned away in less than ten minutes as the MD that drives in the same way said they was not there when he drove in.

I cannot believe the wagon driver had set off without moving them off the back of his truck
