FUSE 22 missing

[scotpak]

Hi Guys

Thanks for the clutch tips yesterday.

Quick question on Fuse 22. See pics below:



Got stuck in load of traffic to get to Halford to buy a plastic fuse removal. They didnt have one!!!!

Came back determined to use normal pliers, however I think Fuse 22 has already been removed???? (see above pic)

Can you guys confirm this? As some of you may recall, I just bought the car this week, and nothing was mentioned
via the Aston Martin service (on wednesday) regarding a missing fuse?

Anyway, do i need to source a replacement, or should I assume that since Aston martin dont seem to care about it when they do their
service, that I should just forget about it?

Thanks

Asad

Its an Oct 2006 car, which, I was told had the 2007 model updates (upgraded seats, Bluetooth etc).

The reason I was convinced that it had been removed was because I watched the video on youtube which shows you how to remove the fuse.

In that video, their is a Yellow(20) fuse on the very far right (positioning as follows: Red(10)fuse >>green(30)fuse>>> missing yellow(20) fuse).

There doesnt seem to be major change in exhaust noise when you go past 3000 to 4000 rpm, so maybe it has been removed already?

yep, thats the video I was using.

I actually took the ipad to the car (I know, quite geeky!).

followed the video step by step, so definitely the right fuse box. ie on the right handside, below the tyre deflator

so looks like its gone.

Any reason not to just forget about it?

Not too bothered about valves seizing as long as the car gets through MOT???(already
Been through aston service without fuse 22)

Had an embarassing 10 min at petrol station. Fuel cap just wouldnt open.

Then gave up and went home. Searched on forums and found a tip thar suggested using a credit card on 3 o clock edge of cap. Popped straight open.

Hopefully this isnt the start of many little negative quirks!!!!
