I've been bitten by the pesky TCS on my 93 9000CSET. My mechanic replaced
some valve and it's cured for now. He says there's no way to turn off TCS
permanently. Is that true?

These photos are only of a very tiny fraction of the thousands of Iraqi
Civilian Victims who have been terrorised, humiliated, injured, maimed
and killed through British and American bombing of civilian areas in
various cities of Iraq. Due to lack of security, independent reporters could
not and still can not reach many areas to photograph and report the
atrocities. Several independent reporters and journalists were
deliberately bombed to prevent them reporting the atrocities.

Please note that some of these pictures are not suitable for small
children and those who have weak hearts.

1/ My understanding is your mechanic is correct. (But I'm more than willing
to be corrected)

2/ Can we please keep the politics off this board?

It depends. There is a retrofit kit that can be installed to add a TCS
off switch to the dash, but (supposedly) this is only available for
manual transmission cars.

And is basically useless. My mechnic agrees. Did nothing when I was in limp
mode. Back to normal after a valve replacement for $250.

That's because a TCS fault (limp home mode) is not necesarily a problem
with the TCS or even the "fly by wire". The valve was probably the
safety pressure switch which has more to do with the APC than the TCS,
but it still throws a TCS fault when it goes bad.
