Nope

Thanks for that prompt reply.

Not had the car long enough to have had either done yet but I'd be tempted to put it back for a service but not an MOT, but in reality I'd be having both of these done at the same time so that'd be a 'yes' from me.
It's only a 30 second job after all.

Nope!

Just had main dealer service and MOT without it and not mentioned at all.

I put mine back in every 6 months for a few days just to keep the valves working

This is a good idea if it's not switched. Just operating it once a month should stop any seizures and mine gets done more regularly than that anyway when I switch to Stealth mode when approaching home at night.
If I had the task of fuse refitting, it would probably be every 2 to 3 months.

I bought one few months back, but honestly could not hear any difference, car was loud either way. Had others listen as I switched on and off they couldn't either. I finally just removed this remote and drive without fuse 15.

There's a very clear difference under load at low revs with the exhaust valves open. So if you couldnt hear a difference I'm windering if something else is up? Maybe exhaust valves are stuck open all the time?

I would hope not, I purchased the car new and only have around 500 miles so far, maybe 200 with fuse pulled. It's always garaged and covered when not driven.

[RobDown]

But you hear a difference with the fuse pulled?

Yes, especially around streets lower RPM's, I just thought the switch would be a good way to keep those valves working. I will just put the fuse back in now and then to keep them exercised. It has the sports exhaust, so either way it's fairly loud which I love. But you always find yourself wanting more. Maybe someday when the AMR titanium exhaust has been reviewed.

ask Ched to help you get it working.

I have a spare remote fob & switch if you're interested...? just let me know.
