jmsguzzi Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Pretty much nowt here on the North East coast, this was a couple of days ago: they’ve since told us to work from home but it’s clear skies and clear ground out there right now. I was looking forward to testing out my first 4WD but nevermind! MiniMinorMk3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predictably it was a knob in an Audi probably thinking "quattro yo" and ran out of talent. Oi. Less of the stereotyping Audi drivers! My Allroad handles much better than my discovery in the snow. Had I been in the area I’d have no choice but to go in the Landrover due to ground clearance. 😝 warch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that the route is impassable today, snow has drifted to about three or four feet deep so me and Tess had to turn back, especially as I couldn’t open the gate.

catsinthewelder Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Didn't fancy work on Thursday after slithering up the hill on Wednesday night in the Focus then riding up in the back of a stranger's pickup after failing to get the Corsa up. This morning it had snowed again and I didn't fancy extracting the Focus so walked a mile down the hill and got a lift with a mate from the main road. It has cleared a bit by 5 so took the Dacia home. Couldn't quite get it into its space though. Wibble, BL Bloke, warch and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colino Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Incidentally, if you're having problems getting a smaller fwd up a slippy hill, try backing it up. Last resort, but it sometimes does the trick. Barry Cade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leakingstrut Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I remember hearing once that on a RWD car, to get going from a stop if you put the handbrake on slightly it’ll act a bit like an LSD, and stop one wheel from spinning out pushing the power to the other side. Tried it once to no avail - it was a very steep hill, don’t know what possessed me to try going up it, but I did make it most of the way until I got to the traffic lights at the top 🙈 It’s got a whiff of bollocks about it but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
