It's on the engine bay VIN plate under the 'Made in The Netherlands' wording - it's the first box.

Fitted my diesel tuning box today, thanks to Overbomber! driving up to plymouth on Sunday, so will give a verdict on what its like, the benchmark mpg is 45.

some pictures on how the v40 is standing at the moment, managed to get rid of all the water ingress in the boot and got the boot painted but still another coat to go, got a boot liner which doesnt look too bad either, ill let the pics do the talking for now.

and thats it for now, the front splitter is loose as you can see and theres some rust bubbling up in the wheel arches so if anyone knows where i could get my hands on some 322-12 maroon spray paint then let me know, appart from that the next thing will be to underseal the car and sort out the exhaust as the exhaust looks like the leaning tower of piza.

Tested the MPG again today. 3 weeks ago I was averaging 37. Wasn't too pleased with this, so for the past 3 weeks I haven't taken the car above 2000 RPM, and the MPG has increased to an average of 48.5. That's brimming and resetting each time. Happy with that.

Finally got round to fitting my Arcadias and then spent the afternoon giving her a well overdue clean inside and out.

Was....

Is now....

Yay

Of course but it won't be for a little while, I have been looking into it and would probably just look at getting lowering springs as these seem to be available for about £200ish and maybe look at the price for new set of Volvo shocks.

I think 30mm to 35mm would look good and hopefully won't cause any problems with the original suspension.

The next addition will be clear marker lights, mats and new tailgate struts and subject to the post I will have all these done by next weekend.

Almost forgot I'm getting an egg crate grille on Monday as well.

The egg crate will make all the difference. Arcadias look good too
