Sadly not as I cannot make it - far too much on the new house to do and SWMBO would probably kill me

It has kicked in twice for me, both wet/nr ice conditions, kicking off from a junction/roundabout. Nice protection...........even nicer turned off

TC is easily the worst feature of my car. It even kicks in during cornering if the car hits a little bump. I usually remember to switch it off - but not always.
I'm even thinking of making a little gizmo to switch it off automatically for me. Yes, I hate it that much.

What does TC do? I have looked it up, but so far have not found the definitive answer.

Given all of the negative posts about it, I wonder why MG Rover had it installed as a feature on certain models? or was it a sales gimmick?

I do know that the membership here knows more about MG Rovers/Rover than Rover knew themselves
