The diesel rpm is just more spread than the petrol one. From pictures, 500rpm idle corresponds with 800rpm on the petrol card, your cut-off should be near 4200-4300rpm. Switching the rpm card may indeed be the easiest way, as used 2002-2003 petrol DIM are very hard to get. Would be interesting to share the numbers on the side of the diesel DIM, good to know it fits a petrol engine. Remember not to have the battery plugged while the DIM is out of the car

Thanks for that - I kind of figured it would be possible to relate the numbers...

I have a very good Volvo local shop who also does breaking and I'm sure they will come up with something.

If they can get a look at the numbers I'll post them in the forum.

The battery reminder is much appreciated - I am one of those with all thumbs when it comes to working on cars..=*^)
