Purely for the record: EPB switch renewed at main dealer wihout fuss today at circa £100. It'll be nice not to have to park very carefully on the flat. 7 days of that was hard work!

Re: Denim Blue Inscription (Blonde)
I was about to say "Here, here" having a 2019 XC40 in the same colour palate. However, Mrs Bhowani has returned just now with the "Parking Brake service required" light on ! Parking brake is clearly stuck "off" for now. Serviced at Main dealer at 17,000 (service package...

Re: B4 Service Costs
My XC40 is now on Year 4. Took out 3 year plan when new. The "new" service contract (main dealer) is £30 a month for another 3 years. So say £360 is the fixed price for a service and all the fringe benefits which we hope never to use - recovery etc. Bearing in mind that prices are BOUND to...

Re: XC40 Fuel figures 1st year of ownership
Just passed 10,000m in my 2019 T4 Auto and it shows 27.3mpg overall. In view of the abnormal conditions and VERY low distance trips I consider this acceptable. I am planning my 5th trip to Nordkapp as soon as they'll let me back in (and out) of Norway! Stay cool!

Autoexpress website said Belgium as well! Here comes another chance for WWIII over cars and tax that EU will impose on UK.

Re: What have you just found out about your XC40.
Rear brake lights DO operate when using the @ button in stop start traffic. Won't use again after dark, as have consideration for the guy behind! I had always presumed they didn't work when stationary. Sad!

Re: Volvo Owners Club UK
Absolutely worth it - magazine, rallies etc etc
Also a very good relationship with Chris Knott (Ins Brokers) whom I have used for "ages"

Re: MPG - Again :-)
Update on my 2019 T4 Auto: little used for obvious reasons, and am on lockdown (Bradford) again at the moment. A consistent 27.8mpg on Morrisons regular in a six month period when a 8 galllon fill up each month suffices In days of old, when working, I filled up TWICE A DAY! Now no motorway jaunts or...

Wheels & Covers
Unashamedly I seek the advice of members on 2 matters: 1. Has anybody used the Wheel Guru in Leeds for Diamond Alloys? A stray trolley in a supermarket has caused a mark which has clearly disturbed the laquer coating. The offender, of course, was long gone by the time I returned. 2. Anybody got Wals...

Re: Recall
By chance my XC40 was serviced 18th March 2020. On enquiring with Volvo UK on the number shown on the letter, I was informed by a nice young lady that my service included the recall matter as it went live on 12th March 2020. 64 round trip not needed: my dealer is in lockdown unless an emergency! Wel...
