That looks like a trick that was designed for right hand drive cars.

Definitely awkward in a LHD car, but I don't find myself needing to do it often.

Definitely in the manual & also works for DB9 of course.

I've got the manual in both electronic and the one that came with my car. It's around 400 pages, and great reading material to put you to sleep with!

It's got lots of useful information (LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS) but for the life of me I have to refer frequently as I'm old and memory is failing me now.

For me, part of the enjoyment of getting a new car is reading through its owner's manual (and service manuals) and learning as much as possible about the car.

Myself as well, that is how I found extended storage start procedure.

An Aston "trick Thread" should be started detailing the obscure things in the manual and others that aren't as a reference for us all. Someone more knowledgable than myself should lead.

That's awesome! I never knew that and I wondered the same thing when I owned the car. Fortunately I never had to change the blades
