Had lots of problems with the ST today, burning clutch and now the ABS light is switched on permanently! Anyone else had any problems with their ABS light? I had to leave the house today to get food at tesco, it was a nightmare and the ST was atrocious in the snow!    Took 3 hours to get to the shops and back! Usually takes under an hour.

guys - my ST is atrocious in the snow, its parked on a private road on a small bank and it will not get up it. Had to boil the kettle recently and map out tyre treads in the road just to get it going and even then it struggled.
I've got newish tyres on aswell but it just doesnt budge!

Mine has been stuck so many times its daft. A high gear usually wont work on my drive, momentum + power + rocking is the best solution!
I have Toyos on the front. Maybe thats why its really really bad?
The ABS light has gone off again luckily!
