Loss of power

Ok brains trust,
Went out today and did a bit of a mild climb
then as soon as i lost a bit of traction ,the stability control would kick in and stall my momentum then i would have no power or torque left ? It would not go over 2000 revs no matter how far i put the loud peddle down. Only just made the first pinch of the hill stopped turned car off and restarted and all seemed fine.plenty of go,till i hit another steep climb and the same thing happened, bloody dangerous. any ideas why guys.
Steve RM told me to engage the diff lock to cancel out the stability control and try to do the climb again but i did not get the chance to go back.
Even if that did work. I would still like to find the problem as it has never done this before in the 10 years i have owned it.
only thing done to the car since last trip was a service to the auto

I'd always run the diff-lock anywhere you think you might lose traction. It turns off the VSC but the traction control stays on and helps to an extent.

Have you ever had it in a similar situation? When I first got my VX i went through the same think and I hated the electronics so much i wired up a dis-connect but now I'm used to it I like them.

No have never had this happen before and i have been up some nasty hills.
This hill was steep with only a few small rocks to lose traction on.Should of just walk up it easy.
