We did tell you to take those exhaust pipes off. Snow has clearly fallen into the massive holes and fucked your car.

Cats look like cool guys :cool: bet they love it !!

You should have bought some decent tires :rasp: at least its home now. Once its all melted, the ABS sensors and rings should clear up and (hopefully) it'll all be ok :)

197 snow plow.

abs lights will be from wheel spin. once its melted a drive down the road normally should be fine..

Was thinking the same myself. The ABS light comes on cars quite often when on a rolling road. Not exactly the same, but the principle is there.

  Whichever has fuel
Its fine. Its because all the wheels have lost traction.

a 2 minute drive on a non-slippery road and it'lll be good as new.

I thought you'd be fine in the snow with that front splitter. ;)

I was going to say, bet it works great for scooping all the snow off the road into the front grille!

Car looks noice, goodluck with the snow! I jumped in mine tonight at 2:30 coming home and it was frozen over, even inside the wind screen!

abs lights are on because the front wheels have been spinning and the back ones havent - ie same as rolling road. car then thinks theres an abs fault.

will clear 100 m down the road when you drive it.

Lol i coulda got the 197 up that hill ;) its all about the run up speed :p

Dw mine has that same poxy 'braking fault' message bleeping up every now and again, and before you know it its gone again.

When I had the R27 it was sh*te in snow. Took 4 traffic cops 1 hour to move it up a hill. They enjoyed raggin the crap out of it though!

Glad we don't get that much snow up here, ABS doesn't work on ice. I've had it kicking in loads on mine when braking it's actually quite scary because it's on but it doesn't work!

ABS works fine. It's designed to un-lock locked wheels.

The tyre skids on ice and locks .. ABS lets go and re-applies pressure..... :rolleyes:


The trick is to drive correctly for the conditions. :rasp:
