don't know too much about them,(but i do like them) other than to relocate the computery bits away from under the seat to somewhere higher.

I was told a 2001 was the year to go for but for the life of me I can't remember why.

I do recall something about wheel bearings are a PITA and VERY expensive to replace but last about 100K.

Hope this helps good luck.

Actually, 4 wheel traction control was fitted in mid 1999 from VIN XA 410482 made possible by the Wabco "D" ABS modulator which was part of a significant upgrade which included the Bosch (Motronic 5.2.1) EFI (previously LUCAS GEMS). A 4 pinion front diff. was also added

good luck... !

PS moving the electricals from under the driver's and passenger's seats is problematic. You may find that the lengths of some of the harnesses are critical in terms of voltage drops, pulse timing etc... If you want to play in the real wet... best buy a toy fit for purpose...

must be MY99 as opposed to CY99... mine is Feb-1999 build and has 4 wheel TC, Bosch EFI. Dunno about the diff. Also has always had the clear lamps AFAIK, until I replaced them with the silly smoked ones
