My mercs toss in the snow, not helped by the fact that I cant turn my interfering traction controll or stbility control off compleatly.
As soon as I start to loose traction the car reduces the power to the wheels untill they stop spinning (which is wheels stopped compleatly) then the
stability control assumes that if my back end is spinning I must be in a slide and applies the front brakes to compensate.
So to summeries the car stops the rear wheels from turning and puts the front brakes on and leaves me in the missuses corsa. ACE!!
Try turning it off, perhaps?
Winter driving should be part of the test. I know they can't always do the practical side but they should make sure you have a decent grounding
on it.

generally i would agree but there has been a few occasions where bringing the clutch up at idle has starting spinning the wheels and no movement but
giving it more revs and spinning them faster has got me going.
thats in an empty RWD transit, i should of put some weight in it as i'm sick of getting my shovel out the back

What is bugging me atm is that all of the roads around here that have been cleared have had the snow ploughed onto the footpaths at the side of the
road so any pedestrian has to walk on the road and then gets showered in the sh!te from the middle of the road as well as some  gestures.
