This wheel spin you describe is definitely NOT normal.
If any one wheel starts to spin the TC will slow it down and power will be transfered to whichever other wheel or wheels have grip.
The VCU maintains balance between front and rear.
Thats a quick 'thumb-nail' description and the purists may nit-pick - but basically all that clever stuff happens so quickly and automatically that most folks wouldn't be aware of any spinning at all.
You may well have been sold an IRD or VCU that is suspect.
I spent all day trying to get stuck in the snow iv had all 4 wheels spinning like a well organised ballet.
I've done doughnuts galore and followed my mates Td5 all day. Hippo did not miss a beat it is easy to get all 4 wheels spinning in the snow just give it some right foot.
All depends if he's got TC aswel if your a cheap skate like me u won't have TC, HDC or blinking A/C lol

yes, indeed, it weren't standard on them. It was an optional extra.Oops - yes, a 2000 'X' Reg might not have TC.
Shorry 'bout that.
SV.
when i was in mondo, the first year i had it, the traction control still worked on the front wheels.
