there will be a fuse for it. Might disable other electricals at the same time though.

Pic of the switch? TCS light on dash?

That link has been lifted from Parkers IIRC, not based on fact

the ELD (electronic locking diff) is a function of the abs system you cant remove it without removing the abs

 

[T108]

Traction control systems are also used in many modern vehicles either in addition or as a replacement of locking differentials. One example is that offered by Volkswagen under the name of electronic differential lock (EDL). This EDL is not in fact a differential lock, but operates at each wheel. Sensors monitor wheel speeds, and if one is rotating more than 100 RPM more than the other (i.e. slipping) the EDL system momentarily brakes it. This effectively transfers all the power to the other wheel,[1] but still employs the open differential, which is the same as on cars without the EDL option. Electronic traction control systems may be integrated with anti-lock braking systems, which have a similar action on braking and use some similar components.

Argh that probably makes more sence T108 cheers, i was wondering whether it was 'proper' traction control because it does only kick in on ice etc.
