Re:
Was just at the beach for about 45min, I tried holding the ESP off button for 10secs as Tony suggested, the light come on at first then went out, but once I got into soft sand the slip light came on, so I turned the engine off then on, then just pressed the ESP off button once so the light stayed on, the slip light never came on again and the Xtrail went really well, never once did I get my friends, Maxx and Traxx, out to help.

Re:
Good to know Pete, so the 10 second rule is all good to go and working?

Re:
I thought the slip light only meant that the wheels have lost traction, excessive slip.
Just because the ESP is off doesn't mean that the slip light won't come on.
You'll need to have diff locks front and rear for the slip light not to come on.

Re:
Ok, I went out to the beach again today, now using the 10sec rule the slip light came on often and when it did I think it activate the traction control/blsd, I could hear and feel the brakes pulsing and I lost moment and bogged down, I stopped restarted the car, just pressed the ESP OFF button once and got going again without too much trouble.
I tried going up a large sand hill/dune, 1st just pressing the ESP OFF button once so the ESP OFF light was illuminated and I went straight up, then tried again using the 10sec rule, the slip light was flashing and I could only get half way up, if I was lucky, before bogging down, again it felt like the brakes were pulsing, traction control/BLSD were active.
I tried a few times with more of a run up with the same results.
I went for more of a run around the beach with the ESP OFF button just pressed once, light illuminated and the Xtrail went well.
This is my experience on the beach, keen to hear what other people think.
I won't be using the 10sec rule on the beach again.
Just as a side note I really got stuck on the way out, went to close to the side slope of a dune in very very soft sand, using Maxx traxx 5 or 6 times and only advancing a car length at a time with the back slidding a little down hill each time, not a good feeling, lesson learnt.
