Newly aquired black 16v! :)

Better get that sorted then I suppose. The car did pass an mot like 2 months ago so it must have had a working abs system then? But now the pumps gone? Weird...

Looking at that copy of the specs list above, it says all 16v's had traction control as well? I was completly unaware of this! Ive never seen it mentioned before?

You won't have it if the ABS is missing though as it's part of the same system.

It's a very basic systems that only works up to 30mph. It's good for pulling out in the wet and thats about it.

Oh ok, so it basically slows down the wheels to stop them spinning in 1st and 2nd when theres little traction? Is that right?
And if its linked to the abs system, does that mean when i get a new abs pump then the traction control will work straight away or will it need recalibration or something? Sorry, i only have a basic understanding of cars compared to you lot!
