Yes, BUT it's in the UK and I'm in the USA at present. It's not been used yet, as my V40 diesel seems to burn it clean as it gets to do a motorway blast every month.

When it causes a lag I will get it cleaned, although removing it will be a PITA as it still has the OEM bolts in it and they should have been changed last time it was cleaned over 100K ago by a Ford stealer.
There is a potential for the mounting bolts to shear off, so it's a classic case of, "If it's not forked, don't try and fix it"!
