Re: Top Mount for front struts

Mine has been in to Listers this morning and they have agreed that it has the same issue. As expected the part isn't available yet, they were told by Volvo that it will be later this year before it is.

Re: Would You Buy Another

Much as I like the XC40 I won’t be getting another when it’s time to change as I won’t be able to get one the same spec as my Inscription. I’m retired and only do around 5,000 miles a year now. I keep my cars until 5 years old so still have over two years to decide what to get. I’ve heard good repor...

Re: Bye bye XC40

Hi all, I thought I'd relate my car selling experience. I have as I metioned elsewhere ordered a Kia Sportage GT Line-S as its replacement. However, this time rather than part exchanging (low valuation of £19k) I thought I'd try one of the "buying" services. I looked at WBAC, who valued t...

Re: Dashcam

I fitted my Viofo A119S dashcam on the passenger side right up to the black housing. I did see the warnings in the manual but I don't use any of the driving aids anyway so everything is either disabled or turned off each time I start the car.

Re: Dashcam

I just plug my dashcam into the accessory socket. I can then disconnect it when it goes in for a service.

Re: Top Mount for front struts

Hi all, My car has been diagnosed for replacement of the top mounts as above (clicking as you are moving slowly and turn to the right in my case). The car was diagnosed 3 weeks ago, and the dealer (Lookers) agreed that there was a warranty issue. They ordered the parts and booked me back in yesterd...

Same here!

Re: Alternative to XC40 ??

A guy from the same walking group who had wanted to get another XC40 was disappointed when he was unable to get a similar spec to his previous one so cancelled his order. He shopped around and eventually got a Mazda CX-5 2.5 GT Sport AWD. He says it's as good as the XC40 and the only thing he misses...
