Creme de la Creme; a Limited Edition (1 of 19 if you're SB, 1 of 38 if SG) of a Limited Edition (422) and didn't know it? Startling revelation of the best kind :supz:
Although there is no mention of what this actually means, anywhere, that I can find!
In the absence of anything else, it probably means you can blow your engine easier by not having the limiter fitted, as you'll have a higher top speed and Rev range, I would assume never having put mine to the test.

Perhaps one for NZ_M3, giraffe or gorilla chip in on :notworthy: and enlighten us ignorant owners.

Where in the car is the Battery Master Switch (Option Code S818A)?

Where in the car is the Battery Master Switch (Option Code S818A)?

It was only used for transport purposes. They switched the battery off for both battery life and safety. When they turned up at the dealers they disconnect them and throw them out.
