Just wondered because it feels as though its spinning just the inside wheel when i pull out of my drive on cold tyres and wet road.
My Chim spins both wheels in the same situation and i know that has a LSD fitted.

I didn't notice the TC light to be honest, the wheelspin was minor but definitely there, maybe it wasn't severe enough for the TC to cut in.
Found this reference to a LSD on an american website

yes there is one, but yes there is also a bit of leeway in the nannying TC system, so you can actually get a bit of slip on without it cutting in
Yes, I think the TC is pretty well judged: enough to help out on a rainy diesel spill but not so much that a wet roundabout isn't fun. Captain Beaky said:
