I've used them on both our vehicles; highly recommended.

2wd and normal tyres uphill are not your friends.

Old folk tale or whatever, engine braking. Only works on 2 wheels (unless a 4X4) brakes work on all 4

The reason for engine braking on ice is because it slows the wheels without the risk of them locking up. If you use the brakes on ice, there is a risk that the wheels will stop dead and the car keep moving...

No I don't know where it is . . . at a guess, I'd say it's one of those shafts up near Long Kin West ? ?
