I wouldn't go straight to ordering one/both though on my say so ... you need to get hold of a tester. We used to have one on the site that just got posted around. If you're happy with it as is - don't panic about it and wait to test them. I don't think there would be a fault code for it as it's not gonna impact on if the car drives or not. It won't hurt it if they are not working, indeed a guy at the RR I mentioned who owned the garage had removed the vis motors entirely but had modified the inlet maniforld so that the power/balance bits were open constantly I think and got 170ish IIRC - Stamford and Pete were there too ....
Yeah, I would rather test them first.......i'm sure my mate has a tester. I'll have to ask him.
