Ive tried a stop on only the handbrake on a couple of occasions to test its effectiveness on the FL2 and when you do it its sounds like its affecting the rear diff and 4 wheel drive system, which I suppose it must as its detecting a possible skid situation, it causes expensive sounding clunks from the rear end, I wont be doing that anymore?
