hi, im new here

hi, hope im doing this right, i have a question , i have a freelander its my first 4 wheel drive so please forgive me if i sound stupid ha ha, as i was driving in the snow and ice this morning, i was coming up to a roundabout on a well used main road and only doing about 10mph as i had slowed right down , when i pressed my break it made a crunshing noise and went hard and the car carried on going, it wouldnt stop! is this normal?? my breaks work fine the rest of the time, it is a freelander xedi s wagon. Thanks

your a nasty bugger sean
but was funny

I was just making sure it wasnt something i had done to the car, my other car which wasnt a 4x4 didnt make that noise, but i do love my freelander

find yourself a nice big flat open snow covered area to test it's really the ABS - something like an empty car park

also sean i am just learning to drive my freelander!! i dont like driving in the snow but since how i need to go out i thought buying a landrover 4x4 would be safer

My brother has a discovery and he has had lots of landrovers , he said he will take me out in mine if its still snowing at the weekend

Is is better to drive in snow and ice than 2 wheel drive but if ya dont slow down early enough then ya just gona keep sliding, 4x4 or no 4x4

that's fair enough, just remember that white fluffy stuff often gives a clue as to what the road conditions are like
