So who had fun in the snow in their FreeLander? We certainly did...

I have to say, ours (TD4 Auto Sport Premium) has been good too - although it has the ability to put the tail end out if your on the power a little too early coming out of a corner. I can imagine the additional power from the remap is helping that. Nothing uncontrollable though - and it climed some pretty steep sheet ice banks without issue.
Yep, got the tail out .
Last night took the other half's Ford Puma down to the village to get a Chinese meal - thought I'd give it a warm up and a run as it had sat buried in snow, and, I wanted to compare the traction control and ABS etc.
2nd BIG MISTAKE of the day - didn't realise just how slippery it really was - or how good the Freelander had coped with the same roads
ABS and traction control are not a substitute for driving ability and anyone who can drive will be hindered by them
i need no traction control or abs to get about in the snow and ice, i passed a couple of modern 4x4s with such stupidness they were sitting still spinning there wheels i was in a pug partner van(this had nothing not even PAS) and had no troubles, i have never had any problems in my series 3 either, ABS and traction control are not a substitute for driving ability and anyone who can drive will be hindered by them
OUCH!! How bad?![]()
il stick with a old series 3 lwb,
