We've been watching people getting stuck in sand at the carpark we're parked in. Some ignore our suggestions not to go down certain routes and then get stuck.
Our cut down bread crates have worked well but we've observed the following:
One motorhome had the engine revving and in gear but the wheels did not seem to move at. When it eventually shifted, there was a load of smoke coming from the middle of the bottom of their engine bay. It smelt like burning rubber. Was that clutch fluid burning off? If so, how much damage is likely to have occurred? Long term damage or resolved with fluid top up?
Another vehicle, an automatic for sure, was in a similar situation but, at one point, just had one wheel spinning, even when engaged in second or third gear. Would there have been any way to get the other drive wheel to move?
