Zusammenfassung:	A vehicle comprises a differential controller 28 arranged to control the degree of locking of its centre differential 22. The controller 28 anticipates wheel slip caused by braking, on the basis of the level of braking and of a parameter indicative of the amount of weight transfer between the front and rear of the vehicle. An increased degree of locking may reduce the likelihood of wheel slip. The measure of the level of braking may be provided directly by a brake control system 60, by using a sensor 70 associated with the brake pedal 72 or by measuring deceleration. Ride height sensors 42-48 and wheel speed sensors 34-40 may be provided.
