All on my 1995 elite x30xe saloon

1. What size are the front and rear speakers.

2. one of my rocker cover gaskets is leaking, I am going to do them all for the sake of it, Is it a hard job and is it just one gasket per head or 2 as the ones I have look a bit small so I was wondering if I needed 2 left and 2 right ones??

3. My traction control doesn't seem to work. The switch illuminates, the fuse is ok, but no light ever appears on the dash. Anything else to check?

4. When starting up cold the car idles at around 1200-1300 rpm then drops to 500rpm. it doesn't stutter or anything but i've never had a car rev so low? Also sometimes when pulling away it can be extremely lumpy.

I've only had the car a week so i'm just trying to sort out minor niggles, It could do with a proper service which i'm doing next week so that might help the running.

Any help would be appreciated.

By pressing the switch, you are disabling the traction control.
If the TC light on the dash illuminates when you have TC enabled, that means the computer has decided you are about to lose grip and has taken over to correct the issue

Our's does the same, don't worry about it.

I know how the system works, In either instance the light doesn't come on, and pressing the button makes no apparant difference to the amount of traction etc.

Have you checked the bulb :question

Have you actually driven the car hard enough to make it lose grip to see if the TC takes over?

PS
I'd recommend a private road for that test, or somewhere very quiet at the least.

How can you tell...  :-/ :-/ :-/

[51M0N]

Because i've had many vx's with tc and can tell when it steps in without a light telling me it is.
