We have a L200 Animal at work. Everyone who drives it says it is shite in the snow unless doing low range and 10mph. It doesn't stop and the arse end kicks out because there is no weight over the back wheels.

Anyone know how Wales is getting on with the weather? I'm driving a fair bit of it tomorrow and as feared, I'm back in the Combo until further notice

I love mine, had absolutly no problems in the snow, back end hasn't kicked out yet. Tows the horse box, the hounds fit in the back great, and it's really comfy to drive in giving I'll be doing long distances to Glasgow for uni. Disco would have been useless, need the cab on the back. Was between the L200, navara and Hilux, and this was the best I drove, and cheapest with most gadgets. I love her

Soooo many people got in their cars after work, turned their front wipers off to clear a little letterbox to see out of and left their lights, wide windows and rear windows covered. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!

4cm, more like.

do you tell people your cock is 15'' long?


Think I know how much snow we had at work as I had to sweep it off my car at 4:30. Snowed fairly hard from 11 till 3. We're right on the edge of the Chiltons here hence why we get the arse end of the worse weather. Home is 127m lower so it's normally rain by the time it gets there.


Chill winston, I believe you.

I was driving along a country backroad which was pure white and had an inch or two of compact snow. I got to a hill and planted it and it had enough grip to throw me and my passenger back into our seats. I was actually shocked.
With winter tyres on sometimes it grips too much and you really have to push it to go sideways.

Having the blowers on cools the engine down.

Puma won't open the heater matrix until its up to temp.

Not sure about the Alfa. But if you want it to warm up quicker, blowers lower will help.


I know, hence why I drive along with my windscreen all steamed up every morning until I've got 90 degrees on the gauge, but, even in minus temps when I put the blower on it starts to drop again.
