WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM

I stopped at the services near M1 J17 on my way home on Tuesday afternoon. I saw a group of people around a Porsche Cayenne which was stuck. For whatever reason, the driver had driven over a kerb, not realising that on the opposite side it was particularly high as it formed a protective barrier separating the road to the petrol station from the car park.

The car was stuck, three wheels on the ground, but with the car resting its sill on the raised kerb about level with the driver's door. Front driver's side wheel clear of the ground.

Every attempt to drive the car failed, with the raised front wheel spinning away. I thought that proper off-road vehicles would lock up a spinning wheel? Or is that expecting too much of a Porsche
 
No diff locks on the new ones, but the ABS/ESP whatever should sort that out!!! I assume, only if the correct mode is selected...
 
err the new one does have diff locks... the ones I've driven at PDE had centre and rear locks independently selectable;
no low ratio box now though; you just stick it in off road mode, and put it in manual & select 1st - seemed to work fine for me !
