Bonnet Bra back on ready for the grit on the roads and steel with winter tyres

found another use for our Radio Flyer replica - wheel transport

winter is defo here as had this on friday morning

and finally Lili decided whilst sat on her mams lap to reach down to the console and switch off the Electronic Stability Programme - good girl

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

you got esp or tcs ?? mine used to have Tcs , dash now looks like a xmas tree

 

[MarkWales]

TCS Wheel spin control*/ ESP Electronic Stability Program*

Same thing

 

[john_tdi]

very different actually

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

yes it is totally different ,,,

 

[MarkWales]

which do we have controlled by the switch in the console?

 

[john_tdi]

U have tcs. Just traction. Lcr's have ESP. ESP uses tcs plus can apply brakes for added help. ESP uses different master cylinder etc.

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

as above we have tcs , jsut stopping wheel spin

esp tries to stabilise the car under hard braking , in the ice a few years ago we slammed my mates atra sri derv's brakes on to see how his would cope , as it started stepping out it kinda dragged it back straigh if that makes sense

where as mine just locked up and abs just tried to limit locking up put still kept sliding in the off directian at where my wheel started locking slightly off course
