Thanks for checking. Maybe it's a rechargeable battery that stores the power generated through rotation?

Morning all
The wife and I are now the proud owners of a 2014 Freelander 2 Metropolis. A very nice car although we did find out on the first day we got it, that being a 4x4 doesn't give much advantage when 'driving' down a slope covered in ice!
Can anyone tell me whether the Electronic...
