Re: First Edition D4 for sale

umm.... a Land Rover Defender 90 hard top! Which is crazy! Had I been able to keep my 2016 XC60 company car, none of this would have happened, but it wasn't an option. XC40 on paper should have been my ideal car, and it's a perfectly good car, but... I just didn't get on with it. My problems with it...

Re: What can I sell with my car?

Thanks q3billy - Yep, I paid for the service plan - think it was £399 for 3 years? I'm quite happy if I can get a refund on it, but equally more than happy if it goes with the car as a sweetener as part of the sale (selling privately). Suspecting that GAP and wheel / tyre insurance can't be transfer...

What can I sell with my car?

I'm selling my First Edition. I took a number of options with it, and wanted to know what I could "sell" with the car, and what I couldn't.... My assumptions are... 3 Yr Manufacturers warranty = goes with the car 3 yr service plan = assuming it goes with the car? GAP = Doesn't go with the ...

Re: XC40 Revision

Are you coming to this having not properly test driven an XC40 T5 with paddle shift? If you haven't, its the only way you are going to get an answer - asking others is too subjective. Try to get a test drive of a PS version of the engine of your choice, with paddle shift, and see what you think. I'd...

Yeh, maybe I should have said I've a fairly neutral Scottish accent with the edges rounded off by living down south for a long time.... :)

Re: Voice commands - a list of

Voice is awful for me, and worse since the software update at my service. and I've got a pretty damn neutral accent that should be easy for the car to recognise. and what is this "Clear itinerary" nonsense to stop the sat nav?!! I've been trying to figure out how to cancel that since I got...

Getting rid of a First Edition

I'm considering getting rid of my first edition and moving back up to an XC60. Had an XC60 D5 Polestar before the XC40, was given an XC60 D4 Polestar as a courtesy car for my service last week, and it just felt better. I've started making enquiries about exchanging, got my settlement figure, and can...

Re: Volvo PCP - Service Plan (dealer didn't set up - Fuming!)

I was given an XC60 last week as a courtesy car for my service - I now want the XC60! Why would they not try to keep your custom?!
