Very important traction control which you really need, cuts in when you are about to lose traction and takes the power off the offending wheel.

I had no idea that was how my traction control worked, I thought it just cut engine power.

He's talking out of his back side but it depends how old your car is. I think that up to mini-face lift it just cuts power, but from then on it also applies the brake to the affected wheel too. PITA what-ever to me.  :y

Well at that price they must be platinum or some other precious metal.
Maybe you could get them melted down and recast as a nice xmas pressie for Mrs B.

the car is grossly overpriced, and the wheels look bloody awful, make it look chavvy......

At 2k it might be worth a punt, but even then it is a high miler for its age...

Time to send the seller a link to a certain website  ::)

Maybe he should meet up with Mr. 3 con rods so they can drool over eachother's overpriced items until they realize why they have no bids.

post 2001 i think were 3.2

Doesnt look nice at all to be honest, and the wheels make it look chavvy as mentioned before.

I always think the facelift Mv6s look better in a colour that allows you to see the different style front bumper....a lighter colour like silver or jade green mica for example.

The darker colours just seem to hide the extra things that make the mv6 stand out......?
