Dreaded Traction Control.....

I've just bought another 2.3 92 Carlsson CD, full service history with £1000's spent at Abbotts. I've only done about 1000 miles when I had a couple of hiccups on the A1 at fast cruising speeds and rapid acceleration going round the roundabouts, I lost power briefly and the red TCS light came on, then immediately went off again and the accelerator became active again. About 50 miles further on the car went into limp home mode with the red TCS light on. Switching the engine off didn't reset it. Checked all
vacuum pipes at the services but everything seems okay.
Phoned my nearest dealer in Carlisle and their mechanic stayed back to interrogate the computer with tech 2. It came up with undefined fault and it took him 3 goes to reset the computer. The TCS light flickered on when he drove the car round to the front of the garage but didn't go into limp home mode. I got home okay but am concerned. As I have another identical car which I'm breaking I was hoping for a definite diagnosis so I could replace the suspect part....but I'm non the wiser now. I plan to swap vacuum hoses and swap the traction control unit on the drivers side bulkhead just in case and stick my spare ECU in the boot. I know us owners of the dreaded pre trionic TCS Saabs are a dying breed but has anyone any ideas as to where I should start looking.
TIA,
Mark
