Ruddy Traction Control

Still cant get my car out of my street due to traction control. Posh enough to have it NOT posh enough to have a button to turn the crappy thing off.

What car is it? Some you can take the fuse out to disable it

Excuse my ignorance, what does traction control do ???

I can turn off but thought it helps in the snow???

Cheers...........

Won't help much in the snow,

It cuts off the power to the wheels when it senses they're spinning/losing traction

It's to stop the wheels spinning basically, but when you're on snow the wheels will probably spin a bit anyway so you don't want it to cut the power in that scenario

It's a ford focus.

I didn't know that as soon as you you slip or skid it slams the anchors on, which is why I have been throwing smoke out over the last 4 days. New brake pads for me.

If its a Ford you should have a switch to turn it on or off, i had a Focus ST and it had it.

It's a pain in the snow. You want to keep spinning until you grip but with Traction Control (or ESP as mine is called) it stops the spinning by cutting power.

KA's are gettin out, 30 year old mini's are getting out, but not me.

Cheers, i've got a new Golf and it's been a dream to drive in the snow ???

Still i'll whack it off tomorrow and see what difference it makes..........

Maybe it works differently, I'm not sure

Don't want you turning it off and crashing - don't blame me

Cheers, i'll try it on a small stretch of snow first then, fingers crossed.............

Deffo no button, seems it is automatic, it's actually Electronic Stability Program

Im not sure, i had a switch in the ST but not sure about other Focus's.

I always turn off my traction control when it snows sometimes "not always" ive gotta kick off in 3rd to gain torque if i didnt have six gears prob just need 2nd. hope that helps

I think there used to be a switch by the handbrake of either a wheel with gravel, or two skid lines depending on wether it was ESP or TC
Lots don't have a switch though

My switch is in the centre console by the handbrake.
