Help
Anyone know why I get a grinding sound from the offside wheel when the front wheels are spinning? doesn't seem to matter how much lock I put on or if straight I get it.

Traction Control tries to keep things in hands and ABS is working to prevent brakes to lock (TC uses brakes to control the spinning of the wheels...). I have found that same knocking-grinding noise while driving here up north (Finland). 
Awful sound, but good indicator that you should lighten your foot on the pedals.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO -What a Ride!:D

Me too, but weirdly my ABS traction control lights are on again which I would have thought would mean it wouldnt work? I still get the reassuring ABS self-test at 15mph after startup though...?

Is there anyway to disable traction control?
Unplug the fuse? Or is there such a thing as TC-fuse.
