Lightbulb Fitting Traction Control to Zetec?

Hi,

I was looking through what upgrades were available for the Zetec MK1 when bought new and one that did catch my eye was traction control.

So I was just wondering if anyone has fitted traction control to their Focus?

My car already has ABS, so surely it won't be too hard? maybe? idk

JM

as far as im aware thay all have traction control any way as its apart of the focus abs system. all the focus already have the loom there and fitted so all would need changing the the control unit and add traction button...

It's a complicated and expensive conversion and to top it off the basic (non ESP) T/C is the worst thing about the car, it's very clumsy and very intrusive.

Totally agree.
My Mk1 has ABS and T/C and the T/C is worse than useless.
