Mine is done, £341 inc VAT. On my car (V60 D6 hybrid) in percentage terms the boost to engine output is only around 6% or 10 horses and about 30Ib/ft torque. However the overall package including the remapped gearbox make for a sharper drive, better throttle response, smoother drive, and possibly hangs onto the gears slightly longer so potentially better mpg. Not worth £745 full price but happy enough given it is Volvo sanctioned.

Well done.
You seem to have fared better than some of us.
I also would not consider paying the £745!

I spotted this Carlisle offer on an XC70 Facebook group, and I don't live far from there I'm hoping to take them up. I just need to post enough to be able to DM them!

I spoke to Neil at Lloyds Volvo this morning.
The Polestar offer is no more. Deceased. Ended.
Until the next time......

Thanks for updating, I tried Rybrook Warrington earlier in the week and they wouldn’t price match (RRP only) so had been thinking when I might be able to fit in a 250 mile round trip to Carlisle!

Will keep my eyes open for future offers
