Sound fault.

Hi all, Started the car up today to be greeted by an awful crackling noise from the noise system instead of radio 2, the best way to describe it would be rhythmic like a clock, but a loud crackling noise, the same for DAB and FM and bluetooth, so i just muted the radio. But every time I indicate, I ...

Rear passenger seat belt not latching.

Hi all, Anyone had any problems with their seat belts not latching (clicking into position)? Or any advice on sorting the problem before I ring the garage and get it sorted through the warranty? Basically the rear passenger seat belt (driver side) won't "click" into the holder anymore, and...

Re: Blind spots.

Your right gray'69, at least it has trained me to use wing mirrors pretty much exclusively now. As skyrimmer says the wing mirrors are good. Guess Im going to have to have more faith in the wing mirrors. my natural reaction is always to double check by looking over my shoulder before changing lanes...

Re: Wash, Polish and Wax

Hi there, I too have a black xc40, rather naively I did my first wash after I got it and ended up scratching the bonnet with some rather large surface scratches in an arc that obviously came from drying it with grit on the cloth.
