Re: Volvo app - WARNING
These solutions rely on me being a good guy, suppose I weren't?
Tracking your movements and remote unlocking your car would be handy if I were a burglar, stalker, car thief, etc.
I was actually wondering if the car owner could ensure their own safety.

Volvo app - WARNING
Back in February my 2019 XC40 lease expired and prior to returning the car I did a full factory reset of the software - twice - to delete my 'phone data, Spotify account, Satnav destinations, etc. I also removed my SIM card from the holder (in the boot). I checked that all my personal data was gone,...

Re: Alternative to XC40 ??
"I hope you’ll be keeping it forever as it’ll be worth next to nothing when you want to sell it or trade it in."
Well I don't give a stuff what its worth when the lease is over, I'll have a decent driving experience at half the cost

Re: Alternative to XC40 ??
Following my original post, after lots of research I have ordered and will collect next week: MG HS Exclusive with 7 speed auto gearbox The test drive was very pleasant and reassuring, and compared to Volvo the price is very very good, and its loaded with options you would normally pay an arm and a ...

Re: Winter tyres
I'm 71 today and remember a time it snowed hard and deep every winter, in Leicestershire. Now it snows every now and again (NE England Northumberland now) and my original XC40 tyres are fine. (I've got AWD) I know the Cairngorms are different, but soon you'll need high temperature tyres all year rou...

Re: Impressed with XC40 braking
Bit OT but still brake related - at my last service, at approx 15K miles, the rear brake pads were worn and replaced, front pads ok. Usually the front pads wear first, as they do most of the work, and that's been my experience in 45+ years of driving Anyone explain this? Thanks Charles XC40 T4 inscr...

Re: What don't you like about your XC40?
Earlier in this thread I stated that one thing I didn't like was the heating - it takes an age for the car interior to warm up. This got me thinking - many years ago when cars were 99.9% mechanical with virtually no electronics apart from the radio, I had a similar problem, it turned out to be a fau...

Re: What don't you like about your XC40?
Again, the HEATING system. When its cold out, the heating system is so SLOW to warm up the car interior. I have to set the temp up to 25+C or max to get any reaction. I usually have it set to 21-22C, which is OK for most of the year, I thought the Swedes had winter sorted!
