I had similar feelings about the TC, it was too agressive and the car was almost difficult to drive in the winter with the TC on. I had the ECU program updated and there was a really significant change in how the TC acts. Now it seems to be more "tolerable", does what it's supposed to but does not cut out the power too much. You should try to update your software also.

Only 2.6/3.2 are updatable, 2.5/3.0 aren't

Where in the UK would I get this update on a 2.6? Would any remapper know what to do?

anyone with Tech2 can do this, so it's either someone from this forum with the magic equipment or Vauxhall dealer. You might want to get your gearbox program updated at the same time

Too many idiots on the roads in a hurry when a bit of care would suffice

Spot on, that's all it's down to

Are the facelift ABS/TC 5.3's? If so I was under the impression that the TC can be variable, not sure if it has to be programmed to be variable but I know that some cars that used the 5.3's have a variable TC (sport, normal, etc). Anyway I've tried holding down my TC button for a few seconds on my Omega and I swear that the TC changes characteristics..... or maybe its just my foot
