Re: Questions for owners

Keep at it with the tailgate. When I first got my current car the tailgate foot swipe/kick worked about 30% of the time. 2yrs down the line and using a kick action rather than a swipe I know get approx 95% success on first kick. I’ve no idea if it’s the car that has adapted to me or vice versa ;0) ...

Re: Mud Flaps

I'm wondering how much drag the mudflats add, there will be a small impact on mpg I assume. I bought them with a certificate verifying a 20hp bump based on the Coefficient of Friction (vertically not horizontally) as the air moves between the tires & mud flaps. I’m thinking it’s money well spen...

Re: Polestar Performance Software

True, mid range additional torque would be nice, I do believe the likes of race chip are offering north of 300bhp for this engine which would be even nicer :lol: The only thing holding me back from that is the warranty issues that could/would arise.

Re: Polestar Performance Software

Pretty sure we have the necessary drive mode option required on the XC40 FE's which is a good start, however not much of an improvement in BHP for £835 of our good money. The new XC60 T5 on this polestar site has power increase to about 260ish BHP and 295flbt, however I do believe they tweak the ge...

Re: Mud Flaps

Senwar. I am weak. I gave in. Car is getting filthy way to quickly. Ordered a set yesterday and should be with me tomorrow. It probably won't stop it completely but will at least slow it down a fair bit. I found using them on my last SUV that it reduces the amount of asphalt/road debris that adhere...

I'll try to get better pics tomorrow during the day.

Re: Mud Flaps

I folded it completely down onto the rear shelf using the creases as I had the awful canopy look as well.
