I think we have a good selection of collective problems.
We do, but let's try and keep it to cars, shall we?

So I have this a bit - I have a manual valve override remote, works fine when at town speed but when it is in the motorway it will open up but not close until I am back at sub 40 speeds and have been for a few minutes?

Catman....interesting, so at motorway speed the vacuum is lower?
The valve doesn't ever open if I am on the motorway when its closed, it's just I can't close it until I get back down to town speed if it's open. In my mind I was think some sort of heat contraction was causing the valves to stick, however its both valves that are affect as no change to sound when I hit the button on the MWay. It typically stays loud until I come off the motorway then the usual "clunk" of the valves closing and quiet again??
There are two valves. Make sure they both move freely. If they do they you can have an assistant press the sport button in the cabin while you lie under the car and see if they move at all.
If not, my money would be on the solenoid valve having failed, which is a comparatively cheap fix. £35 from Eurospares for the part plus a couple of hours max labour I'd have thought.

Hi
could you point me at the part, think this is what could be broke on mine
after noon all i had a h pipe removed and a cross pipe fitted on my strad last week ran it for a few days then the valves stopped opening in race mode got under the rear
and both actuator rods were hanging off the valve flap pins so cliped them back on and they still don't open when i pull on the actuator rods they both have really strong resistance but they don't change in either mode any ideas
Thank you sam will try thatAs what Zep says.
Also, just another check. you could pull off the vacuum tube from the actuator and put it in normal mode, make sure that there is a strong vacuum.
Then put in race mode and make sure there is no vacuum.
Solenoid valve maybe?just been out under it valves are free release the vacuum pipes and the actuators dropped
vacum pie permanently sucks regardless of mode
