Last few time I have been out I find my TC keeps cutting in and stopping me accelerating. Dry roads, tryes correct pressure ABS works. This is intermitent and can happed as soon as move off or several hours into journey, ease of on throttle and it is released.

Hi. Check the plug to the TC module first, if this gets loose it'll give these sorts of issues. I believe Scorpius had this problem a while back

follow the throttle cable round the engine bay.

Thanks Scorpio_man follewed cable to headlight and found a round object with cable going into it and a group of wires, nothing else there. Checked security of wires, suppose if this is the TC module it would not hurt to remove the plug and clean and refit.

Hi there Wales!
May sound like I've lost me marbles, but have your wheel bearings checked. I've noticed on my -96
which had the rear/front wheel bearings gone that it was ultrasensitive on traction control.
Especially the front wheel seemed to give me a lot of headache. This is what they call an educated
quess, but it's worth checking the bearings anyway. My frontwheel bearing sounded like a train...
I think the sensors in the wheels may give an erratic "tyres slipping" if there is too much vibration in the
wheel.
Just an idea...

thanks for that, bearings are my next port of call, thinking of changing the rear ones but time has been against me, no this is an incentive.

give the sensors a clean.
and the ring on the hub they get the reading from, I think Andrew had one of these that actually started to break away from the hub?
