Eatmydust has a 3.0 litre mini fl with TC which is on all the time and no button to switch it off.

thats the same as some veccys then, there is a way to turn off TC in that case, start car then turn off and start immediately,  do this in one motion so the engine doesnt actually stop this disables the TC does on the vecs (why you would want to i dont know)  to re-enable the same procedure

will have a look over weekend, got someone coming for a vectea interior so will clear most out of there

/Panto mode...

Oh no it isn't

(but will work)

[TheBoy]

The car will have TC, just no way to disable it. No problem, unless he wants to go drifting. Or it works as badly as Andy B's

I suspect its actually a 98 model, and the wires are slung behind the satnav screen, and need moving up to the blanking plate...

[TheBoy]

Spookily, just had the reply about 2mins after posting above.  It is a 1998 model. Problem solved

No need to worry then , wont be going drifting .

Only original concern was why i hadnt got the dash TC button as im sure it was on my 99 elite so all is confirmed that i have TC but no switch .

Thats that then ......thanks all we got there in the end       

[TheBoy]

Switch can be retro fitted to that blank...  ...just moving some wires about. Bit fiddly though.

But TC is on by default, with no switch, you can't turn it off.

[omega3000]

Dont think i'll be fiddling with the wires , although i may still fit the switch in place of the blank plate 

[TheBoy]

If you pass Brackley, I'll do it if you want...

[Andy B]

.... so all is confirmed that i have TC but no switch .
 ......

I said that in the first place ............ ie you have a V6 so it has TC

Okeydokey thanks , im just poppin out to the car now to see what i can see with the blank out .

Doubt it will have connecters in place...  ...they'll be taped up behind nav screen

Why wouldn't Vx have fitted the TC switch like any other mini-facelift?

Early 1998 MFL had switch to left of radio. So the 3l with Satnav which had the screen there instead just had the wires taped up behind. Later, they had some sense and made its new location to left of right heated seat switch

Correct , i took the blank out and can see the blue thing on the back but no wires into it .

You'll have to get Jammie to rewire it for you.
