Waiting for the wife this evening, I pulled the panel off, identified the
plug/socket combo, disconnected it, did the brakes N times quickly,
and the flashing 4wd light came up. Tested shortly afterward there
was a puff of smoke and away we went with some squealing. Good.
So then I dropped off the mrs at home and went and found a dark
quiet place to perform a more entertaining and extensive test. OK.
One small white cloud and away I went, slightly satisfied at my
first NA RB powered burnout since 2007. Nice.
I can do better, I wrongly thought. And went off to find another
dark quiet street to retry in, this time locking into a low gear so
as to hold the smoke up the street longer. No dice. Excess grip.
Strange. Then again, both spun, rotating toward the footpath I
was. But strange noises were occurring.
Then I realised that the right rear had gone flat and proceeded
to dawdle home at a crawl to preserve the slightly tortured tyre
sidewall. Made it. Tyre looks OK. Needs air, and likely a puncture
repair and balance, too. Carnage:

So then, new priority for this car, LSD :-) Though I could have similar
amounts of fun with either of the Volvos with addition of the G80, too.
