Welcome Frank from a fellow Devonian.
Best advice I can give is avoid narrow lanes as they wreck paintwork, leave that to the 4WD brigade!
The VAQ diff is all about reducing understeer on the Nordshleife which it does brilliantly. Obviously muddy ruts aren’t its forte. I’ve had a few moments of furious inner wheel spinning myself. Changing up a gear or two seemed to help by reducing the torque being applied to the ground via higher gearing.
