Thank you guys. Spoke to the dealer this morning re getting hand controls sorted etc and he asked if i wanted to make a profit on it. It seems someone has offered more than I bought it for since Wednesday. He says it was £25k as opposed to the £21k I paid. Not sure if he was pulling my leg tbh but it was a no either way. I'm very happy with it especially now te French flags are off it! I have some G4 ones coming this week to replace them My17 Volvo XC90 Inscription

Cheers Captain! Can these be chipped at all as in cloned ecu from Wiggs do we know? I;m also after some original images as after the French flags have come off, I'd like to try a return it to it's original layout presuming that's not G4 sacrilige?
Thanks in advance

there is a G4 forum out there: www.g4ownersclub.com where you can find out all about them, pictures etc. Yes, they can be chipped. I got a 're-tune' from TFC (search for him on here), but others are also available. It didn't affect the insurance and marginally improved the economy, but and a big difference to drivability.Prince Harry's D3: G4 factory equipped D3 - expo rack, winch, roof lights, ladder, active locking rear diff, RAI, Melville & Moon seat covers, General Grabber ATs/ Goodyear Duratrac

Steve, the sooner you get the G4 the better
I had my D3 enhanced back in 06 & again in 08 as it was wiped by LR updating the software made a big difference adding about 50hp & much quicker pick up well worth it

Nick, the way this is looking, you're going to get the D4 with less than 3000 miles on the clock!
I think maybe a Wiggs ECU clone is the way to go.I'm guessing I'm going to notice a difference in performance next week !My17 Volvo XC90 Inscription
