Mentioned it to the broker/ dealer and they say it's a europe thing and only available on l/h drive versions, personally I think i'm being lied to. 15267992181206885590340102538917.jpg Whenever I feel someone is just bullsh*ting me like that I always ask for it in writing (or an email). That usuall...

https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/new-bosch-diesel-tech-‘fix’-nox-problem This underpins my belief that the current diesel bashing by government/press etc is not based on logical or rationale thought! The technology is being developed to address the issues. I can only think the car compani...

Wow! Glad I’m leasing as I’m protected from any plummet in residuals. But this will be a slow death. Given, say, the XC40 as the newest release has a product cycle of 7 years, then you could conceivably buy a diesel XC40 in seven years time and that car could have a 10 to 15 year lifespan. And if I ...

I’ve got these on my Volvo. Never noticed any improvement to light intensity after deployment. They just spray water in the general direction of the lights.

Once Volvo had got on top of their DPF technology I’ve never had a problem. I’ve plumped for a D4 in my new XC60 (apologies I know this is a 40 for...

Wow....that’s quite an insightful document. I’m amazed they shared that. Looks like they totally misjudged which variants would sell. I wonder if r-design would sell quite so well if it wasn’t for the black roof? I went for the R-Design for the colour! If they'd made colours available across the ra...

If it's any consolation it's exactly the same with the XC60. I ordered a MY19 XC60 on the 9th March and have an order number (had a copy of the order form from the dealer). However, the factory are still working through the pool of MY19 orders as they gear up for production (due to start on MY19 XC6...
