You never know Ben, I do occasionally reside in Livingston and have been found lurking much further north
I will give you a shout when ever I am up north.

Cool thanks

Graeme , Dice is the latest gadget dealers are using. Volvo only sell this unit to dealers or indys but there are now clones available off ebay with some really good units about. Columbiadream is the seller I used, unit arrived within 3 days and has latest firmware and software.

Ordered Friday 2/12 and delivered Tuesday 6/12, communication with vendor was good. The unit has paid for itself already.

^ You're welcome.

Following on from the issue I had with the car last week I've done some tidying up, cleaned the EGR mixer and replaced the air charge hose to the turbo. I also ran the injectors diagnostic test that points to a potential issue on one injector but I now need to back this up with a leak off test. I've certainly found that the purchase has been worthwhile.

both mine & my old mans car have got the SRS fault, plus i'm looking forward to playing with the DRL/light settings (my old mans HID's throw the headlight failure so hoping to turn that off as well)

What's the average price you guys shelled out for the vida/dice?

I haven't looked at the above links but i paid around the £120 mark.

Just beware of the site rules on the promotion of Pirate software..(I still want a copy)

(MODs - This policy is from 2005, it probably need updating slightly)

You can't upload the latest software because you need to be subscribed to Volvo for that and it costs. For that reason the vast majority of independents don't do uploads either although there may be someone in Newcastle, so it's worth you researching that.

When the Volvo Forum is up and running again you might want to check the member's map on there.

Had my dice a few years now, essential bit of kit owning a 1998 T6.
Very informative once you find your way round the software.
More than paid for it's self.
