Im good thanks, got bored spending loads on the cdti adding bits so just got a loaded VXR sorted the mapping with one of the guys and added a few things as by then i know how to add them easy.

Still love the Volvo's and have wet dreams looking at the V70R promo vids and wishing Vauxhall made the IDS+ on these as good. Mines got Bilstein B8's so im not that bothered but still.
