Follow On Servicing Plan?

Hi All We bought our XC40 in 2019 and took out the five year servicing plan Volvo offered with the car (incredible value at £699 for five years servicing). Our last service on that plan is in a few months, so we've been wondering what to do next regarding servicing plan. We're planning on keeping th...

Rear Mounted Bike Rack?

Good evening everyone I know this quiestion has been raised before, but I'm looking for up to date experience from yourselves on the rear mounting of a bike rack. I suppose the first point somewhat moot, and rhetoric, but how/why on earth were Volvo thinking creating a car which is tall and which (t...

Re: Paint 'Bubbles'

Hi Warwick Thanks, good advice, though it's hard to get such input without paying. As regards the 'garage drips' that's definitely not an issue, there's no liquid or oil of any sort, and the positioning of the defects on the car means those areas aren't consistent with the location of the mechanism ...

Re: Paint 'Bubbles'

Hi Morgani Thanks for the suggestion, as there are only two blotches, it's hard to say they're in a straight line: they are both on the left hand side of the car, but not parallel to an axis I can imagine. We do have an auto door opener so that's a good suggestion, the only thing with that is that t...

Re: Paint 'Bubbles'

Thanks for the reply. The car hasn't been subjected to any solvent or anything of that sort, it's garaged, and, due to covid, hasn't been out much. We noticed the bonnet one about a month ago (not sure how long it's been there) and the roof one has appeared in the past week or so. There's very littl...

Paint 'Bubbles'

Hello everyone Happy Sunday to all...We wondered if anyone has had a similar problem appear on their paintwork to us. We buoght our Onyx Black XC40 in March 2019, and are generally happy with it, but noticed yesterday, when cleaning the car, that two 'bubbles' seem to have appeared one on the roof a...

Re: Loss Of Sound Outputs

Thanks Algrey, will let them know before we take it in for the service, which includes a software update if that's the problem. As regards phone connection, a phone was connected via bluetooth, but I don't see why that should cause such a problem as it hasn't before and a connection via bluetooth is...
