Thanks Bob, your insights are greatly appreciated.

There is an activation sequence somewhere which "tests" the 2 gate ( which should Vibrate when activated) and the 3 gate components, which just clicks.

It is an S80 D3 Automatic, Engine: D5204T3, year: 2012
(chassis No: 152371)
I do have a Dice too and just enough knowledge to be dangerous...
Attached the options I have. I'll have a little prod.
Also a screenshot on the turbo.
I see VIDA comes up with multiple options for my D5204T3 though (36001168, 36001767).

The internal mechanism is released via the housing at the top RHS of the image, But it appears to be a plastic ring holding the bits rather than a crimped metal fastener.
I understand your pain about smashing stuff with hands of clay - that's why I ain't moved with my issue.

Mine is somewhat different unfortunately and does not have those tags/clips.
Also, mine doesn't have that metal fastener; it is plastic parts pushed together to make it not accessible.

Might try that next, to see if that shows something obvious. Is easier than trying to get to the turbo itself (which I might end up having to do eventually anyway) as that is pretty hard with the limited space between the turbo itself and the bulkhead.

A, OK, I thought default was closed. Could be, like you said, that it is simply stuck in position.
Thanks and I'll see what else I can find
