Re: Pine Grey Finally Arrived - Damaged!

Well, it's been a very long wait, but it's finally arrived. Looked really smart on the back of the delivery vehicle - until I got to the back and noticed some bad scratches and dent on the boot lid. Someone had clearly opened the boot onto something else. Supplying dealership is now trying to work ...

Re: Broken Tailgate Handle

Had the same on mine after a couple of months. Shut the boot one day and heard a rattle and something had come loose inside. Took to Volvo and it's not just a screw it back in job - the whole mechanism goes in as one. They took one off car in showroom but it had camera on. Think they located another...

Re: MPG - Again :-)

Hi hdasmith. For the first time yesterday, I reset the trip computer so it shows average per journey rather than on total mileage.

Re: MPG - Again :-)

Just wondering if there's any air con factor in some of the lower than anticipated mpg some are mentioning. We've had a lot of unusually warm weather lately so I'd imagine the air con has been working pretty hard. Have read a few things about possible reduction of up to 25% (not XC40 specific) parti...

Re: D3 R Design FWD

Looking good. "Previous Audi A3 and BMW X3 owner and this car is world's apart from the X3" in a positive sense I hope. Thanks MichelR!! Yes, in a very positive sense... so much better! PS MichelR: Pretty sure I've seen you have tow bar on order too? It may work differently where you are ...

Re: Picking up a D3 on Wednesday

Hi I'm collecting my d3 xc40 in a couple of days (It's been at the dealers since last Friday) I can't find any reviews on the auto websites or any information on this engine in the forum. Does anybody have one yet? When I collect it I will post my views, for anyone else that has ordered this engine...
