Re: Just Collected My Car - Have Some Questions

Thanks for all the info. My wife has the car currently while I'm at work but I'll try checking the stop start and auto hold systems tonight. I wouldn't describe it as jumpy more like the engine is speeding up to stop itself from stalling instead of depressing the clutch if that makes sense. It doesn...

Re: Just Collected My Car - Have Some Questions

Oh god! Hopefully the wife doesn't scrape it on the gate post leaving the drive then!

I'm certain auto-hold is off but I will check it as I could have missed it. Isn't the button for it just behind the parking break on the centre console?

Thanks

Just Collected My Car - Have Some Questions

Hi everyone, just collected my car and it's absolutely amazing, despite already test driving one, yours always feels better lol. I have some questions though and wondered if someone could shed some light for me. 1. I have the 360 Camera / Intellisafe. When reversing / manoeuvring if I was to get too...

Re: Caring for Leather Seats

I've just treat myself to a car cleaning / detailing kit from dodo juice. They do a ton of stuff plus leather cleaning stuff.

Re: R Design on order.

I ordered my car (T3 Inscription Pro) on the 25th May, just one day after yourself and I've received a call from the dealer today saying it's ready to collect on Thursday. I was originally told 8 weeks like Chris but after many calls and emails to the dealer I managed to drag out of them it would be...

Re: T3 RDesign or T5 Momentum?

I had this exact same decision to make with mine. I decided to go with the T3 engine which meant I could afford the inscription pro with a couple of extras on their. That being said, fuel economy was an important one for me too. I don't do enough miles to warrant the diesel engines, so like yourself...

Re: Waiting for September number plate

Thanks for all the information. I think I'll just wait the extra week like most people have suggested. Unless the dealer is willing to discount the car to make up for any potential loss in value.

Re: Waiting for September number plate

I think it may have been true about a higher value years ago when it changed on the 1st August to a new letter, but now changes are twice a year with numbers that the majority of the public do not recognise, I think only the year is relevant. I think this is what the dealer tried to explain to me. ...

Re: Waiting for September number plate

Of course, what "makes no difference" when you're buying may be described as making a big difference when selling! On valuation sites such as Parkers, the value for a 16/06 plate is several hundred pounds less than for a 16/66 plate for exactly the same car (for a typical Volvo). Similarl...

Waiting for September number plate

Morning everyone. Fingers crossed my car will be ready as planned on the 23rd of this month for me to collect. I've been advised by family members I should definitely wait for the new plate in September as my car would be newer but upon speaking to the dealer they said it won't add any value as it w...
