OK, but, with my magic button pressed / activated, i can wheel spin (especially on gravel, you know, do the Jeremy Clarkson thing and drift a bit ), and the Paj does its thing with no TC trying to counteract this.

Doesn't sound right. How is this going to help when you are crawling off-road?

Ahh, got another magic button. Some call it the moffie knoppie, the rear diff lock button.

Can still spin, but only as little or much as I want it too

I hear what you are saying, but with button pressed in I can spin tires if I want, in 4x2 or 4x4 mode. Easy. Without it, the TC decreases engine revs as soon as the tires spin (loose traction)

Kai, which Pajero have you got. Standard Pajeros , in most cases, do not have T/C and DL together.

Mine is a 2008 Gen 4.

When I got mine there were 4 others (all white) at the dealers lot. I got to choose one and took the only one that had a diff lock button and roof rails.

The others did not have a diff lock and two did not have roof rails either.

I must say, that I am now confused as to what "magic" button I have next to the steering wheel on the lhs, meaning if its a skid control one or TC. My memory though its traction control

That button is skid control. I wonder if your car's TC wasn't disabled(not installed) because of the difflock

My Paj is in springs at the moment visiting Allan Black... Will check it out and let you know when I get it back (sometime)

Ive send message before just to tell that I had a simmalar problem on my pajero. Also searched for the problem and after 6 months discovered that my new tyres Bridgestone deuler AT 964 is causing the problem, hope this can help you

Did over 100,000Km (two sets, they only last about 50k Km) on the Duelers. Never had an issue. Went to BFG's after that and did a further 75,ooo Km on them.

Now on Hankook ATR's.
