The engine kept stalling, and the wheels were spinning. There was a burning smell, so I hope I have not done any damage to the gear box!?Previously, my wife had returned home, and had left the car in the road, because of the weather conditions, and had also experienced the same problem on the level. Should we have turned off the VSA in these circumstances/conditions, so as to give the car better grip up the drive? I only thought about the VSA afterwards, when I looked at the manual. Any help or suggestions wouls be appreciated. Thank you.
VSA can be turned off, however traction control can't (that's what I've been told).

I don't think you can do anything about it. Sorry mate.

@robbo51: I hope you are right. I thought VSA's use was for keeping the car on the road
