Modulator arrived today :)

They've cut the pipes leaving 50mm stub which has been crimped so hopefully no contanination :)

What are the advantages of this upgrade? When Duncan wired in the on/off switch for my Traficmaster he discovered that my car has the Traction Control wiring in place.

Just posting to see how you are getting along with this Paul :)

On another note, How do I know if I have the Wiring for Traction Control?

Stalled at the moment Carl until I get some mobility back.

A good start would be to see if you have the wiring for the switch in the centre console.

Duncan and I contend that as the loom appears to be straight through (no connectors) as per RAVE, then if the switch wiring is there then it all should be.

The only way to prove it though is to disconnect the ABS modulator connector and see what pins are wired.

It should stop embarrassing sideways slide take-offs at traffic lights after you've had the Big Russ re-map :lol:

Cheers. I am not 100% if I do or not, I am sure there was a Plug wrapped in that Foam stuff they used in the Console area, but may be wrong or confused, I get confused a lot.

Hope your lack of Mobility isn't too serious :)

Thanks to Duncan's fearless ripping apart of VeeKay at the nano-meet today, we have now confirmed that the Traction Control wiring loom is indeed in situ :)

ABS modulator will be replaced next week then all that remains is for the ZCS codes to be modified to suit :)

That centre console switch panel with only four switches has annoyed me from day one. Looks SO much better with five switches :lol:

A picture, as they say, paints a thousand words... or in this case, just two words :)

I think it's fair to say that I'm like a dog with two tails :lol:

Thank you to those who got this project to completion, Duncan, Carl, David. Cheers guys :)

Locate a T/C enable ABS modulator Mike and see if your car has the loom :)
