Re: Poor AC

UPDATE. Talked to the service people at the dealers and it’s to be fixed when I have the brake recall done this Friday. Apparently there is a new recall for this AC issue. The Service Manager told me that the system was over pressurised and they would re gas it to the correct pressure to fix. In the...

Re: Poor AC

Out today and tried AC for first time. Doesn’t work....at all Set temp at low on climate control with AC on and recirculating on and fan turns up to fast but just pushes the warm air around faster. Disappointed that this happens now as getting to service appointments is such a performance in lockdow...

Re: Delivery / Handover process ?

I had a decent handover of an hour or so despite the fact that it’s my seventeenth car and I know where the gear stick is! The car has a good deal of technology and when I did the original test drive I’d seen none of the detail of that. I also dropped in a week or so later for some guidance on sorti...

Re: Discount? Best time to buy?

Looking at the Honest john website Xc40 review today I saw a pop up for a car broker offering MY 20 T4 Inscription with a 17% discount.

If you are looking for a deal it’s unlikely a Volvo dealer would match that.


Would be a good deal as long as everything is trouble free with the car.
