Need to check how this is actually activated but will not cause much of an issue leaving it off and plugging holes, maybe just a couple of mpg worse off on short journeys...
Thanks Dave, as it is just now it's fitted but the connector is unplugged......... would it be better to remove it altogether and plug the holes, is that what you're saying?
If this is the problem I'd ideally get a replacement.
Many thanks,
