Try to test the actual traction control system, and ignore the light for now. Go out in the wet, floor the throttle and dump the clutch (preferably not on a public highway!) If you wheelspin like crazy then the TRC is off. If not then it is on. Press the button once, then repeat, see if it does the same or the opposite. Then you know if the system is dodgy, or just the dash light. That's what I'd do anyway!

Also if the TRC is on and you try to spin a wheel the TRC warning light will flash on the dash to tell that it's just been activated.

I'm fine.

Are you going to Ace on the 29th? If so we could meet up and go up together again.

That's a shame won't be there.

Yes I can probably give Oli a lift. I did see he was looking for a lift but I was just letting him stew a bit :biggrin:
