Re: No under bonnet insulation

I wouldn't be concerned with ice build up. After all the engines hot and this would soon disperse.

It should have sound insulation though, I have a T4 and insulation is present. Not over the whole underside just the central part.

Re: New T4 RDesign Auto Fwd fuel range

As I mentioned earlier in the thread I've done just over 1,000 miles and average over that distance is 32mpg. Most of the journeys are small (5 miles or so) and I get about 25-27 MPG on them. What's brought the average up is a few journeys where I've done about 30-35 miles. On those longer mostly mo...

Re: Xc40 Momentum Pro- Parking Climate

In certain other countries, not UK, the car has a dedicated heater that doesn't rely on the engine running. In the UK the heater isn't present and all the Parking Climate does is as "paulinyork" says. The app does tell you the temperature at the cars position which is quite handy !! As is ...

They're just not something I would ever fit. The mpg is low enough without having another fraction shaved off !!😀

Re: Collected This Morning (pic heavy)

Looks good, looks just like mine apart from the mudflaps! Mine's same colour RDesign T4 AWD without any extras.

I picked.up my SIM some weeks later after asking for it. Found out about it from this forum.

Re: Vibrations @55-80mph

Have I got the context right when you say "...unlike the XC40 permanent AWD". The XC40 isn't strictly a permanent AWD system. I know you can't turn it off, so perhaps that's what you refer too. In practice, as I understand it, it predominantly uses FWD unless it detects it needs to send so...

Re: Wireless Carplay Solved

What i'm trying to say is that IF the phone communicates over wifi to the carplay dongle, than the 4g (3g for the unlucky) won't work. As the phone can't communicate across two channels at the same time. it's the same with my dashcam, if i connect to it over wifi i either need to wait 10 mins for t...

Re: Wireless Carplay Solved

Surely on the move the phone receives its "Internet" via the telephone network not via WiFi

Re: Total mpg on main display

As far as I know there isn't a way. If it's reset it's reset.

You can get the value from the VOC app, and all the individual journey mpg as well. At least for the last 100 days

Re: Download centre - no connection to service.

Basically, I followed the instructions, the globe was there, I connected the phone to the cars hotspot in order to register with vodafone, but its as though the sim is inactive (if that makes sense?), so how on earth do you sign up to vodafone if when connected to the wifi it won't open any web pag...
