Stick on some wet grass and give it a bit of wellie, should hear the TC clacking away.

Ok I will get a long wheel nut thing as mine is missing from the tool kit. I've only tried to turn it with my hands gripping the tire with a ninja like grip

You should be able to very slowly turn it just by gripping the tyre, does need to be in neutral though, if I can do it at my age, should be no problem for a youngster like you

Datatek you are so kind. I'm 40 and I'm not the strongest of chaps

So I can give you over 30 years
It just needs constant pressure, won't move a lot.

Will try with a wheel bar. The guy on the video looked like he had to put a lot of pressure on the wheel also

I don't think there is anything wrong with the car just the plank behind the wheel
It'll have ETC on the brake modulator under the brake reservoir under the bonnet.
It will probably have the code ANR2239 on it, IIRC. ANR2238 is rear wheel traction control. Pretty certain it is that way around.
It really doesn't make that much difference. You can upgrade the modulator and ECU to give rear wheel TC. Costs about 75 quid with second hand parts.

Il just keep the wheels spinning il look into it if i ever need a break modulater lol would 4 wheel work aswell or more hassle then worth trying? My range will soon be upto scratch. Motable again (its got till july) and no more niggles looks like iv been lucky after 2 more tyres 2 steering bars n a wiper stalk and window regulator il have change with my 1500 budget.(That was my original thaught just to get it back on the road)

Better off fitting limited slip diffs from Ashcroft Engineering, about £300 each IIRC.Il just keep the wheels spinning
Il just keep the wheels spinning
It just occurred to me that there are 2 different diffs out there that I know of: one with 4 pin and 1 with 2 pin. It occurs to me that the 4 pin ones are probably on the axles with TC and the 2 pin ones where they have no TC. So, sticking TC on an axle with a 2 pin diff might cause shortened lifespan. I'm only theorising though. JamesMartin or Wammers of somesuch would probably know for sure.
