... is quite frankly pants. It took me 15 minutes yesterday to move the car from in front of the house, the traction control was killing the power on the engine to the point that it nearly stalled and the 'ice' mode on the gearbox didn't help much.

In the end, to get it moved I had to rev the arse off it with the traction turned off with the rear wheels spinning like a chav on Tescos car park.

Was quite annoying yet satisfying to have the speedo up to 160 at a walking pace!

Sounds normal for any rear wheel drive car, its not just the omega. When it snows is TC off, winter mode on the slushbox and slip slide away......

[Elite Pete]

As above but try putting a bit of weight in the boot

This has always had me wondering I'm not sure now when it's off or on ie push switch and light on dash is off/on or whether it's no light on dash and it's on/off.  

[Jimbob]

TC is ON by default, with no light showing.


Press the button, and the light shows it is disabled.

Cheers I dont touch it as a rule.

I believe one of the reasons why you can turn TC off is so you can get grip when pulling away in snow/ice/mud etc

A couple of bodies is about the right weight

Its ok till you hit a dry patch and your gearbox end up in your front room
