Occasionally we get a cold winter here in the Midlands and then we often get snow on top of ice due to melting during the day and refreezing at night. Little grip is to be had and Birmingham grinds to a halt in less than an inch of snow. In these conditions the FL2 performs better than our Disco2 ever did. The Disco2's mass meant it had a habit of not stopping and also sliding sideways with the road camber into the frozen grass (no curbs around here), which ironically offered better traction.

I rarely use my Special Terrain Functions, but in normal Road Mode I find the FL2 is very easy, stable, and reassuring to drive, when the weather is very wet and windy.

Ian, an instructor at LRE Dunkeld also advised me to use grass and snow when heavy rain and floods were about.

Update on my use of 'special programs' - used rarely as I live in 'Tropical? Somerset'.
