I'm contemplating replacement of my much beloved 240 that I've owned for 10 years because it just can't make it up my driveway in the winter. It's equipped with Nokia Haks I put weight in the trunk - - it still just won't really make it up in snow. My wife's car is the obvious answer - V70 AWD, but I really prefer my 240 for the simplicity and sheer brickness.

My driveway 1500 feet long but only gets steep for the last 150'. I do keep it well plowed.

Does anyone have an outsidethebox answer.

Is there a way to lock the differential temporarily?

I'm even considering a winch.
