Re: Bristol port delay
Just read an article on FT Edit about problems at the port in Zebrugge. Allegedly the Chinese have shipped vast quantities of EVs to the port but have not booked onward transportation due to much lower sales than they expected. They are effectively using Zebrugge as a European storage depot and thus...

Re: Is Waze all that…?
Can you use voice commands to send traffic updates to waze while driving?
Otherwise you would be breaking the law if you have to do it by touching the phone wouldn’t you?

Skoda Octavia or Superb Estate - great comfort, decent amount of tech and if you can look beyond the badge mega value for money I’ll second that👍🏼 I switched from a Superb to the XC40 as I wanted to try the SUV experience. The Superb was superior in every way with the possible exception of seat com...

Re: Insurance Renewals
I've always used LV and found them to be competitive, offer a well priced breakdown (Britannia Rescue) and the claim service to be quick and fair. I have car insurance for 2 cars, house insurance and travel insurance with LV. Just had my renewal notification for the house and travel insurance. Hous...

Re: Stupid Sat Nav
Hopefully that’s an intentional design feature for the safety of you and other road users. Does android auto not allow you to use voice commands to set a destination like the sensus system?

Re: Centre Binnacle ...
Just looking at where to run the wire for the dashcam, thinking of hard wire kit.. Just a thought would it not be a good idea for the manufacture to have a usb slot in the centre binnacle this would make it so much easier for the fitting of accessories. A short lead and its job done.. It’s a great ...

Re: Standalone renewal of OnCall Subscription
I renewed mine in the app a couple of weeks ago. The expiry date quoted in the app updated instantly, 1 year added to current expiry date. I think your dealer has no idea what he/she is talking about…

Re: Volvo App
Sounds like it’s just luck of the draw if you get the renewal or not then

Re: Volvo App
An update on this. My subscription is due for renewal again, £34.95 for 1 year or £60 for 2 years. My car was serviced at the main dealer two weeks ago. I don’t have a Volvo Service contract but I do have a 3rd party service contract (EMAC) arranged through my dealer. I have contacted Volvo Customer...
