Replying to: steve_ (Feb 25, 2008 10:47 pm) Thanks for your response. Do you know if there is a simple override eg removing a fuse or something that would overcome the problem? Re air down on sand...I generally run the front at 15psi to avoid tyre popping off the beads and about 12psi on the rear....I've tried all tyres at 12psi but still get the same problem occurring. The problem only seems to happen under heavy load (driving up dunes) and at higher speeds (ie more than about 20mph)...at low speed the car performs very well in the sand grip and manouverability wise.
