Clan is never wrong with the advice he gives, so I'll stop thinking about it and just carry on with looking for something else to obsess about.
occasionally something goes wrong :-)

Did you realise that when you leave the car in P with the parking brake off , that the rear wheels are not locked to anything , they are free to rotate in opposite directions due to the action of the final drive differential unit . So if you park on a steep hill with one wheel on good road and the other on Ice or mud or wet leaves it can easily run away down the hill with the wheel on the most slippery side rotating backwards . Then you would be in serious trouble legally of course. No insurance ..
