Re: Boot opening daft question

This may be a daft question! Took delivery of our new D4 R Design yesterday. As the wife is 4 foot 11, ordered the car with the remote boot opening and more important closing feature. The issue, using the kicking motion unlocks the boot but it doesn’t open! When you have manually opened the boot, t...

Re: Osmium Grey R Pro Delivery

Matt lovely spec that.. mines not far off but needed to keep it under premium VED.. are you getting polestar? No plans to at the moment. It's a company car on a lease so I'll only have it for 3 years and making modifications seems like hassle as I don't own the car and will have to outlay the money...

Re: XC40 Sales in UK

They seem to be popping up everywhere near me. I saw 2 in the space of 10 minutes the other day. And I've seen at least 4 different XC40s use the car park outside my office in the last few weeks. Someone parked their Pine Grey R-Design on a 68 plate a couple of car widths apart from mine on Friday ...

Re: T5 - Start/Stop

I think the system is intelligent enough not to overstress the battery, so if you have done a few short stop/start trips it will then give the battery a break by not stop/starting until you have done enough to recharge it. My Golf did a similar thing where an icon on the dash would indicate stop/sta...

Re: Osmium Grey R Pro Delivery

We have a few things in common...

I had a Golf GTD previously and a Scirocco R before that.
I live near the Ashdown Forest too, took my XC40 there the weekend before.

The XC40 is very refined (mine is a D4 but still very quiet once on the motorway).
