The logical explanation is that the system deems it can no longer safely recover the vehicle with the rear brakes alone and leaves it up to the driver. Just my theory and im not sure if the dsc was that advanced on the BA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common occurrence back then. Don't think the more modern cars and years of experienced tunes that it happens that often anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works great in the dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
