Oh man just I laughed so much.

Good one Jim

[Norfolk Jim]

I can laugh and pee myself as much as I like as my wife is a continence advisor for NHS.

As a friend said the other day - why is it called London Underground when 90% of the time my journey was in daylight!

I suppose most of your driving is on trunk roads. Or do you occasionally branch off down leafy lanes?

[Norfolk Jim]

Most of my driving is nearly through fields!

Farmers round here play tricks with you and take hedges out which means roads merge into fields and merge back into roads - that when not covered in crud from sugar beet lorries!

I tell you there's nothing more scary than coming round a corner and being confronted by the 7.3m wide table of a combine harvester crossing the road ahead just exiting one field across to another especially when being driven by farmers wife! oo are

Waiting for the grin.

Have you had the remap yet? If so what are your thoughts? Noticeable difference?

How much is this costing if you don't mind me asking? I enquired about a Hirsch upgrade at my local Saab dealers (for a 1.9TiD) and with a discount, it was still £799

Wait a short while.  The 08 cars will probably come into the Hirsch 30% off scheme soon.  And try a few dealers.

This price was with a discount. The normal price was around £1000 

I might be tempted at £500, though even that seems expensive when I can get 185BHP for £300 from a performance tuner I've used in the past.

£799 is the list price.  All they have offered you is free fitting, which is listed at 30 minutes!!

You should wait for the discount and get it for around £550, or less.

They definitely told me that was a discounted price and the original price was more like £1000. Probably telling me porkies. Wasn't entirely comfortable with them in any case, so I took my car to an indie instead of the dealer for the car's recent service. Even in Sheffield I'm struggling for dealers - one I have used in the past has now gone (Gordon Lamb).

Keep trying Kev.

I had hoped to drive away with my upgrade this morning.

In the dealers at 7.59; in went the car and out came computer.

After 30 mins in came grumpy technician (I know him well) and said with a wry grin out loud " I'm afraid I cannot get logged onto their server to download the software"!

He was quite embarrassed as it appears it happened about 3 weeks ago and nothing to do with Saab or Hirsch but the dealers Firewall! IT guy wasn't around and tehcnician was quite pi55ed off that he couldn't do it. He tried 5 pc's around their offices and none would log on to Sweden.

They did though get an e-mail through to Hirsch confirming they had tried and confirming I will still be eligible for the 30% off.

in answer to your question Kev it will be £559.30 = £799 - UK vat = £665.83 less 30% disc of 199.75 = £466.08 + vat = £559.30.

The discount is taken off before VAT added.

Your upgrade shows as being £799 on Hirsch site.

Is your car a 2007 car but 2008 model because it shows thats discounted at bottom of list

If that's the case then your dealer should be doing it for the £560 inc like mine.

[Kev_Mc]

Mine's a 2008 08 reg..

[Norfolk Jim]

Buqqer - you'll have to wait just a little while longer but it shouldn't be long.

ABbott's do it for £595 + vat so £714? If you can't wait

[Norfolk Jim]

Please sir can I have my Hirsch map................... still no joy with their link.

On the plus side I've still got money in the bank and car is running superbly and still averaging around 46mpg using Shell which coincidentally is cheapest diesel around here at 134.9/l
