I got audio controls on steering wheel and solid headrests 

Mini facelift then. 
You're missing a TC button then 

Thats not good news then 

I'm sure a miniface lift TC will turn up via the breakers here eventually 

So i just need to take out the blank on the dash where it should be then fit a TC switch

I would guess so. The plugs for the switches are locked in place on the back of the centre 'console' Pretty sure the blank will just flick out.

Ok , i think the scrappy has one ....no warning lights have ever popped up on the dash . Another trip to my second home breaker heaven ...think ill just tow the breaker back for complete spares

. ....no warning lights have ever popped up on the dash . .....

Bury the throttle from a standing start on a slippery surface, the orange TC light should flash while the lack of traction is being dealt with.

THE original blank or AN original blank? It's the same blank as an estate has at the other end of your switches where your rear blind is, and the same blank as a car with heated seats might have.

Its not the switch i swopped them

Driver's seat will be a damaged/burnt out heater base element. They all do that Sir! 

Mine works  (it didn't 8 years ago when I bought it though  )

I'm no expert but i  may be able to help here. Eatmydust has a 3.0 litre mini fl with TC which is on all the time and no button to switch it off.The 2.5 have a switchable TC with a button where the blank button is on a 3.0. As mentioned in an  earlier reply the first couple of years of Omega productions had a  side window demist button in this space. Later cars had a blank switch as the  side window demist was deleted option.  Pulling out the blank button and putting a TC button there will not enable the TC to be switched on or off on a 3.0 litre car. It will also not light up either, i know, been there, tried that. Hope this helps and makes sense.
