Post by: 08micsta on 26 July 2007, 14:08

Guys. Its storming all of a sudden down here in Cape Twon and my mother has gone to pick the children up and is stuck in the car just outside the house. Stuck as in mud stuck  :sick:

Is there anything she should not do or should do? Anyway she can get out?
manual gearbox.
18' inch rims (Not sure if that helps)
And two kids in the back  :laugh:

Help if possible please....

If stuck, 1st gear as slow as possible. Do not spin the wheels. Once moving keep revs up to stop water going in exhaust, but again do not spin the wheels.

You might find turning the traction control off helps, it did for me on a wet 1 in 2 drive in Wales  :embarassed:
