Zafira b 2013 1.7 diesel - Electronic Stability Program - cyberfruits

Hi I got a Zafira b 2013 and it has got "Electronic Stability Program" esp fitted.but I do not have the sports button fitted to turn it off! i like an after market switch/ button, so I can turn it of in an emergency, like getting of the road or up the hill and then be able to turn it back on, like some models have got that switch and have it myself fitted and the ecu modified?I know there was somebody i believe in Yorkshire/ Sheffield who did this work, but i do not remember the contact details

Are you confusing the ESP with TC (traction control) switch? My TC can be turned off but it is not possible to turn off the ESP

You can turn off the ESP on some cars, and on some of those it will still activate in a critical situation, so in reality you can't turn it off. Our Skoda Superb offers the facility to turn off the Front Assist system, but I'm not sure it can be totally disabled. My Fiat Ducato work van has no means to turn the ESP off. It even states that in the owner's manual.
