I’ve been to Norway several times in winter in a P38 and D4 on winter tyres and had no issues. Admittedly most roads were ploughed and gritted, but further north there were plenty of untreated roads covered in snow and both cars coped exceptionally well.

I think some places in the Alps it’s mandatory to carry snow chains, but if you have a ‘proper’ 4x4 on winter tyres this is sometimes overlooked. That is only hearsay on my part as I’ve only driven through the Alps in summer.

No legal obligation in Switzerland for winter tyres or snow chains but there is a caveat that the vehicle should be equipped for prevailing conditions.

In France winter tyres are not obligatory but when the road displays a "B26" sign then snow chains are obligatory unless there is an additional sign authorising winter tyres.

Winter tyres must have the mountain and snowflake marking on them. M & S do not comply.

I believe Germany has some specific requirements but I don't know what they are.

This is looking seriously nice now. Is it my imagination, or have you fitted the later wipers to it??? Regards,

Ahh yes sir you are correct! I fitted the appropriate arms when i changed the bonnet! I was unsure if the old style wiper arms would still work (wouldn't foul the new bonnet shape) so i changed all three (F & R)...

Alas, the originals would have worked fine... Rolling Eyes
