[928uk] PSD operation

[Mark Nichols]

Hi,
My PSD appears to be working fine. Question is one of how it should work in use. I have a steep drive (tarmac) and have to turn sharp left into it from a narrow road, so no way I can enter square on. Can't reverse on because front scrapes on the road. So what happens is, no matter how careful I am, the inside rear wheel has sufficient weight lifted off it so the PSD operates. I get onto the drive and the PSD disengages and the light goes out, but it doesn't release immediately, I can feel it engaged for a few seconds as I ease up the drive (about 20 ft). All good. So I thought. Last night I was a little too exuberant on a sharp country bend and the back broke away. Fun I thought for a moment, but I wasn't able to correct as quickly as I expected. Felt a bit strange which I could only put down to the fact that the PSD locked the diff up once I started snaking. Of course if the weight was being transferred left to right to left, then I might expect that. I had lifted off the throttle as it was quite low speed, but it got me thinking. How quickly should the PSD activate and de-activate when it engages? Is what I am experiencing normal? (I know, I should drive better!). Thanks for experience shared.

Regards
