and yes, i'd highly recommend keeping it on in the snow. i span twice and almost hit a tree when i gently touched the throttle in my car on a very icy road. shit myself

rain isn't so bad, i usually keep mine off else it'll bog down when pulling away even with an ounce of throttle from traffic lights.

TC in an astra gsi is a complete ballache in the snow,

I used my astra all through the winter last year.

It's now off the road till march as it was a penis of a thing to drive.

Sounds like a sensor reading out of sync with the others, sometimes they need a little while to verify that each wheel is turning, when one reads diff it kills the system. If you have access to a fault code reader this should confirm it however if you dont your gonna need to check each sensor individually.

If i was you id unplug the hub sensors give them a clean and plug back in.

My TC was permanent off when i put the Rear abs loom back on and plugged sensors in the wrong wheels.
