Ok, now the child in me has gotten over that, I have a question. Is anyone aware of either (or both) of their exhaust flaps sticking? If so, why was it and how was it rectified?
When I had the new boots fitted yesterday I spotted one flap open one closed. When the car came off of the ramp I asked the technician to alternate between modes & D/S. Only one flap was switching. I have called Capristo up and have yet to hear back, but I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts....
Cheers
Al.

Blown fuse? Lose connection. Is it stuck open or closed?

Good Idea, sounds like those flaps need smashing open from the back firstWash them first...
Not sure if that's a warranty issue though?

As they are activated by a pump under the boot floor it might be worth checking the pipework, one might have been damaged.

Thanks guys - I've already checked under neath - no sign of any damage what so ever.
Near side remains closed, unless I have the car in dynamic. When toggling through the driver select you can hear the flaps close from dynamic to individual, however I have the settings in individual set to dynamic on all but suspension and steering.
If I leave the car in individual then give the flap a poke, it opens. So it could be that it needs a clean. I'll give this a go later.
