Yes, - and - see belov

Driving on icy/snow covered roads - where there is little risk of "patches
with high friction" pavement that can cause transmission windup, I
frequently drive with the centre diff locked. It does mean that the risk of
not making a tight turn - and instead drive straight forward slightly
higher, but this is usually with very tight turns at slow speed.

What it does mean  - is vastly improved braking! It will ensure that ALL 4
wheels will take part in the braking, but don't take too high a risk - when
you do skid in such a situation, you really have a handful trying to bring
the situation under control.

It is generally easier to control a smaller vehicle in such conditions, but
a large heavy 4wd driven sensible and while practising  "defensive
driving" - will get you there in better stile!!

Another point to take seriously by anyone new to 4WD  - do not assume that
the relative performance between traction and braking - as experienced in a
2wd - will be valid in a 4wd, it will not!!!  A 2wd will have twice the
"braking power" because you have only 2 wheels driving, but 4 wheels
braking. With a 4wd you will experience very "poor" braking because you tend
to expect the same difference as in a 2wd (4 wheels driving - 4 wheels
braking). You soon get used to it - but if you are new to 4wd - be warned.

Merry Christmas

Subject: [lro] Servicetune of Farnworth
Reply-To: [email-masked]

Hi

I am writing to ask how many people have dealt with Servicetune at Farnworth 
as I have experienced a lot of problems with them.

A lot of problems in that I have telephoned them numerous times about being 
overcharged and every time have been told that the money would be refunded 
however this has been going on since around the 24.10.01 and now being the 
24.12.01 am still nowhere near receiving my refund.

I wondered if any one else had had similar problems as I am now going to have 

to take them to "Small Claims Court" they have had all the chances I am 
prepared to give them and see no alternative, unless someone else has any 
ideas

Not forgetting the time of the year it is, I would like to wish all readers a 

Very Happy Xmas and an even more Prosperous New Year

Kindest regards
Paul
