The mk 5 's that have ABS also have traction control which applies the brake on the spinning wheel.

No they dont! Not unless it was specified anyhow. My '95 has ABS and no traction control and I believe AndyG's 2000 van is the same

ABS is rare, traction control even more so!

As MinorMatt says. My '98 minibus also has ABS but no LSD/traction control. It makes it interesting down muddy lanes.

I'd love a LSD as i keep getting stuck at my house i keep parking in the field as drive way space is tight

I got stuck a few weeks back on a beach i could see the sea coming in and there was a crowd forming and i must have had a small army pushing me but to no joy end up a fork lift came down to me and lifted the back of my van for me and pushed me to the road took an hour to get me out and the sea was up to the van well i learn a lesson that day don't park on soft ground when the sea is near

sounds like a session on LSD and ice combin€d... i tryed the hand brake trick this evening, lost traction whilst pulling trailor through boggy ground(hedge cutting in the dark!) and i think it worked, but with a 2stroker banging ya skull, white finger and empty belly things do seem to get a bit messy!

IL PUT THIS ONE IN ME BOOK, KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR SNOW AND REPORT BACK WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT!

LUKE you got big ones!

Your not the only one... I park the van on a slope and when it gets muddy forget it!

To be fair though I have got an LSD in the back of my van, its just not found its way to the axle yet
