skidding!
« 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

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
