I might be wrong on this one, But i think the winter button just makes the car pull off in 3rd gear to help traction
No you're not wrong! You're right it makes the car set off in 3rd.  ;)
My mini face lift 3.0 has the small TC button where the blank is.

Yes, Snow button pulls off in high gear for better traction.  It will automatically disengage once speed = 50mph, as presumably no longer icy...

Ive never tried on the Omega but on the Senator it used to also disengage  when the switch under the accelerator pedal was pressed.  ....... I know there's no switch under an Omega's throttle but the throttle position switch might do the same thing.

Just bought this for £600,  Deal or no deal??


Can't really say, I'll have to upgrade my broadband before I can download the pictures...  ;D

Very good one, and my favourite colour too! (well after Start Silver)

Luxury motoring for next to nothing...  :y

Yeah , I think its for pulling away in snow , which can be a bit fiddly if your in drive , especially on a hill!! Wheels just start spinning as soon as you take your foot off the brake .

The switch is built into the throttle cable......its in the engine bay.
