Best solution for braking with abs on ice is to keep the car in gear all the time!

Sounds a bit crazy, but with the engine providing some drive to the wheels, it's enough to keep them rotating (so abs doesn't kick-off), but sill allows the brakes to do their bit of slowing you down. This even means engaging 1st gear, and not dipping the clutch until you have pratically come to a stand (less than walking pace!!).

Oi DemonDave No! D'you wanna fight!!!! I was just saying experienced Scooby ABS for the first time and it IS very sensitive.

I was thinking, what do Scandanavian Sccoby owners do (probably get in their volvo).

I like the idea of a Bug fix - maybe somebody from Subaru, FHI or IM may look into it LMFAO.
