Re snow, I understand the method is: select Sport, with ESP off. Not logical, I know, but at least the drive stays on and to both wheels without interruption! I guess it best to switch to Drive once over the worst of it.

Thanks Mate,

Snow - i think it may have been my 3mm left HP premacies that were the problem.

I tried it drive sport manual - esp on off, hell i even tried going everywhere in reverse. NADA.

Once moving all was well and it handled the snow pretty well considering, i think its the fact that 'I MUST SET OF IN FIRST GEAR' too much torque to the wheels, mine would even spin and go nowhere on the creep of the diesel. Anyway summer is upon us and the usual M5 trip to cornwall will be a breeze again - no sore clutch leg in traffic.
