So recently i got stuck in the snow at my house and was late for work because of the stupid thing where it cuts throttle power when the wheels slip (causing me to get stuck) However i cannot find any option to disable this which would come in very handy... Has anyone got any idea how to get this option enabled without going to ford and getting them to do it via ids?

    I went and got a switch for mine from ford but you see them pop up on ebay in with the

    plastic surround,give them an offer just for the switch.

    Might sound strange but inform your insurance as i did as your turning a safety thing off.

    Ford told me this but insurance didn't say a lot so didn't think it was worth it
