Also there is a turbo oil pipe modification that's part of a recall or TSB IIRC so worth asking if thats been done.

Drive it like you just stole it, well at least until the warranty runs out |

There now follows several months of driving around with a silly grin on your face... now, when the snow comes, remember that just because it's the best 4x4 by far it cannot change the coefficient of friction between rubber and ice... drive to a nice large area and practice to see what it will do, seen too many new owners not realise it's limitations and end up looking silly....

Good advice. In general terms, the RR goes forward very well in the snow ... stopping is a different matter ... thats where the practice is helpful. V8 or else ... |

Severe camber on side roads and a heavy FF make for side slipping as well.. especially on road tyres... ride the crest to avoid it.... Pete
