As Lude-Dude said, it's suicide to drive with faulty 4WS on a track.

You can pull the code to see what's wrong, my bet is just a faulty wheel sensor throwing out the ABS and 4WS.

its common sense dont use something if its faulty, and with cars this should be priority

The rear track rods arent physically locked when it's in fault mode. They can move.

As others have said, if ABS and 4WS are not working, it'll be an ABS sensor. Just fix that is my advice

most 2 litre ludes 4th or 5th have 2ws subframes

just pull the codes and fix the issue its never expensive to fix it it will be a sensor or something
