How TC acts,  when itīs working?

Does it just cut spark and fuel??
As some cars brakes too when slipping in one corner so rear acts like it has LSD ...

I am 99 percent sure that it only works as you first said, via ignition system. ABS is only used to pick up the loss of traction.

4 channel ABS cars use brake as well, before telling engine to calm it.  3 channel ones don't

Elite now gone.  Bought an X-Type 4x4.  If there had been an Omega 4x4 I would have bought that instead.  We really liked the Omega, but I wanted 4x4.

yeah and me. Id like to know too. My old pre face was a bit crude. Car just stopped in middle of rd if you tryed to nip into a gap and booted it. Hoping 3.2 is bit more refined than that.
