I did try with the DSC on and off a couple of times; it made no noticeable difference so I left it on. Do you think it should have helped? What difference should it have made?
I didn't know about the epb switch trick; If there's still any ice left tomorrow I might try it, but as Guy said, all the loverly stuff is going away  In my case though I didn't need the epb on the slope anyway, as once I'd cut tyre shaped holes in the ice there was (just) enough of a chock to hold the car. I had to use reverse or rock the car to start to roll backwards.
Guy, no I was on an unclassified road heading south out of Wanborough. I chose it 'cos it's very little used and I knew I was getting stuck on purpose. The main road through Wanborough has a vehicles prohibited access only sign at each end, but the minor/unclassified roads don't 
By the way, I'm in no doubt whatsoever that the car would have driven up the entire road without a single drama had I not stopped. It certainly did the second and third times  Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Transgenic tomato anyone?

how do you suggest turning it off then? 
DSC - you know what I mean
So it didn't make any difference - I've got too many buttons to press & not enough snow!

Damn - I thought I might have won a prize...

 I know the road you mean Guy, and I can see why you thought it was that one Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

I was doing the same and found GGS low 2nd best (manual with winter tyres).
My only problem was when I stopped to try again.
Stationary with my foot on the foot brake about to put the EPB on when the Front of the car started to slide...
-45 degrees
--90 degrees - rear started to go too
---180 degrees - tobogganing
Used the verge/bank to get me down with some sort of control 
Take care when practicing - we can be at the limit of physical possibilities....

I think turning DSC off might have helped in the cases where you said power was being sent side to side. interesting experiment though Dom, well done for posting your results. I had a long reverse down a hill in the snow and ice and low ratio with HDC on was fantastic, although HDC only cut in once or twice as engine breaking did 99% of the work. Car was awesome, very very controlled and gave me every confidence in it. D3 HSE MY05 Auto
