No chance of any of those Whoops GHT, I had the missus fixed years ago 
well, ok, she broke but apparently it was easier to do away with some of the more complicated plumbing and simply pull the warning bulbs out than mend her, a bit like we used to do with ABS 
There is a lot to be said against modern cars with there wide low profile rubber boots like the Jag Tractorman mentioned, even some of the older ones like the Daimler Jag XJ40 I used to have are bloody dangerous in the snow. The current "modern" an 11 year old Mondeo ST Diesel has winter tyres and front wheel drive so it isn't too bad, but I'd have good old 145 / 155 width tyres in a shot for winter driving.
