Hi,
The T/C switch in the off position is all/most you can do to disable the T/C, the switch being in the off position just delays the T/C from cutting in as you undoubtedly have found out.
As the traction control needs signals from various other systems in the car one being the ABS, you could try disabling the ABS and seeing what effect it has on the T/C, but doing this may disable other crucial safety system such as BAS.
However on your head be it if you decide to do it

More like in a ditch.
I find the 300TD slow to react when you start slipping and back off the power pedal. The rack takes a short while to return so the car keeps sliding.

Slow rack. Heavy car. Poor reactions and not enough skill means I'd be +1 for the ditch!

My esp does not work...at all. But, when I was young the family Volvo 245 did not have these fancy electronics...I used to drift that thing off a certain roundabout on to a slip road...experience many younger driver will never see.

I had a 760 T in the early 90s...no traction control on that...
Under the back seat is the yaw sensor...disconnect that and you now have no abs, esp or bas.
