I am told that there is a traction control module in the engine bay that I can disconnect and still drive the car. Will this do anything more than what I have already done?
Any help will be much appreciated.
TIA,

I just disconnected the module next to the master cylinder. First reaction is that the following has happened:
1. Speedometer is not working along with the MPG gauge
2. These lights are now on - traction control, brake, ABS and TPMS.
Driving is fine and the transmission shifts fine as well. The car feels a little edgy as I now have to adjust to any difference in surface grip. I can now
"peel out" from a standing start with not much throttle as both rear tires are controlled by my OS Giken LSD.
Later, after several hard run attempts I finally got the transmission light to come on and go into the partial limp mode - I stopped and cleared it.
My conclusion is that it now takes more to get the transmission light to come on. What does this mean?
