Ceramic Coating

Ok, so I am now a proud owner of a Black Onyx XC40 T3. I have always taken pride in my car and would normally regularly wash and wax my car to make sure it looks smart. But with a black car the challenge is greater than normal. So, I have been looking at the possibility of applying a ceramic coating...

Re: Pick-Up in One Week!

Hi Simmo, I love the car. It is comfortable, spacious and as I mentioned in another post the T3 is more than powerful enough for normal driving. Certainly it accelerates much quicker than my Qashqai 1.5 diesel. If I were you, I would start my countdown to June ...

Re: T3 performance

Well I picked up my T3 Inscription Pro a couple of week ago and can confirm that it is no slouch. Previously I owned a Qashqai 1.5 diesel, so moving to the T3 was a big change for me. The car drives really well and the acceleration is very sharp - it certainly will not be as fast to 60 as a T4 or T5...

Pick-Up in One Week!

After such a long wait, the wait is over. I will be picking up my new gleaming T3 Inscription Pro next Saturday. I have read quite a few posts regarding checklists etc, but was wondering whether anyone has any top tips of things that I should check before leaving the garage, as I live a long way fro...

Re: time disappears and car cannot find key fob?

I cant comment on the time display as I am still XC40-less; but on my previous car a Qashqai I was getting a similar message. New batteries in the key fob solved the problem. Good Luck

Re: R Design or Inscription?

Ok, I approached my dealer and spec'd an Inscription as they said that I might get it earlier. Unfortunately rather than simply 'edit' my order by changing the R Design and its options to an Inscription with similar (but not the same) options, in Volvo's eyes this is treated as a new order rather th...

R Design or Inscription?

Hi everyone, I have on order an R Design since the end of March, but like everyone else I still have no idea when I will actually get the car. Having seen some of the pictures uploaded by forum members, I could be easily persuaded to go for an Inscription, if there was a chance of getting it sooner ...
