    Pretty well thanks, Justin. Took the 480 to Hamish a while ago. He put it on the dyno, fitted a bleed valve & increased BHP from 100 to 115 & torque from 160 to 200 NM. Wheel figures of course. The figures don't sound that much, but in a car just about 1 ton they're pretty useful. Oh, of course, that's before the prancing moose.

    Cheers, Chris.

    LMAO! Very good.

    Some very respectable figures for your 480, the true magic is in the handling on those machines - I loved putting mine into corners absurdly quick and smiling on exit.

    Recently obtained from a well known guy on the 480 website
    http://volvo480.dragons.org.uk/forum/
    a re-mapped ECU. Haven't had it on a dyno yet, but others with it are seeing about 170-175 BHP. I love it; the power comes in more smoothly, & a little earlier than with the bleed valve. I'm really enjoying it.

    Cheers, Chris.

    Star city is being discussed on the 23rd, but I have just found out we are away for the weekend. Soon though, Like Mark said in another post, a bowling night would be good
