Update; had the covers off both rear seat and footwell fuse boxes. The handbook is incorrect! The schematics and fuse lists are exactly as for previous MY cars, ie fuse 19 for supercharger active exhaust is in the rear passenger seat fuse box, (not as my 2014 MY handbook lists as fuse 19 in the passenger footwell). Sorry for previous alarm!

Simon, may not apply, but noted that my handbook, 2014 MY car, specifically states “ beam pattern suitable for driving either side of the road; no need for mechanical adjustment or external decals”

Expert advice needed please. Previous model 2011, fuse 19 in the rear seat box, could be removed to facilitate “loud” button on the active exhaust . Presumed my latest, 2014 Dynamic would allow the same tweak, or the more elegant solution with a remote switch. However, checking my handbook schematics, I now find fuse 19 for the active exhaust, is listed as being in fuse box2, (the passenger footwell fuse box). My expert facilitator for the switch solution, Clive Chedzey @ CCCharger, suggests that the 2014 MY may be set up with a system identical to the F Type. This then precludes the use of the remote switch as the footwell fuse box has no earth facility for the wiring, (and a different actuator method for the exhaust valve control). Can anyone help / advise or generally comment. Am I restricted to just removing the fuse 19 in the footwell to have the valve always open?, ie cannot use the remote switch . Thanks in advance 👍

Previous posts in forums re screen problems always suggest (as with most electrical gremlins) that it’s battery condition that should be checked out and investigated first. My own screen lasts for upto 40 minutes before “black out”, and then can occasionally successfully “re boot” by switching on/off button several times, and if this fails, switching ignition/ engine off/ on brings everything back to life. My battery is only a year old and initial test registers good condition, but running regular trickle charge re condition programmes to see if that helps. Other posts have suggested new battery is the only long term solution?
