Would you lease an XC40?

Hi, I need to change my XC40 for one with Adaptive Cruise Control. Unfortunately, it seems Volvo only include this feature bundled with other stuff I don't want (eg Sunroof) in their top of the range "ultimate" model. I'm thinking B3, but the price point for "Ultimate" is too ric...

T3 Auto, ignition didn't start, but digital dials implied it was trying

Hi, Twice now my car has failed to start when "start button" pressed. All the digital dials come on, as do lights (at night), but no noise, no ignition. When this first happened, after trying to get the car to respond several times, I phoned Volvo Assist, who arranged for a mechanic to col...

Carpet Mats

Can anyone recommend a good site to buy replacement carpet mats for my auto XC40? I went for the orange carpet option when purchasing the car a couple of years back, so it might be nice to get the same colour if possible! Thanks.

Volvo dealership advises Volvo UK will soon offer better DashCam offerings

Hi, Volvo dealers, I am told, used to only offer Road Hawk DC 3 as a dealer fit DashCam option - I've just been advised that they can not fit any Dash Cam as Volvo UK currently moving to offer "new options", which are imminent. Anyone heard which DashCams Volvo is planning to offer? With t...

Click sound for indicator lights just randomly stopped!

Hi, Just a heads up. The click sound for the indicators suddenly stopped, as did the voice commands and sat nav audio. Radio worked fine. Phoned the local Volvo dealership, who talked me through a "system reset", involving (1) pushing and holding in the middle of the volume control bezel ,...

Break Pads and discs need replacing

Hi, My car has covered 16,000 miles only - I reported a front breaks "squeak" to the garage at 11,000 and they couldn't find anything, so said if it persisted, although not worn, it might be worth changing the pads to sort the noise. I declined, at 11,000, but have now relented given the n...

How to see the full route Sensus is recommending before starting journey

Hi all,

Wonder if someone can help here please. I'm trying to view the complete route which the Sensus navigation is suggesting, before I accept and set off.
Is there a way?
Also, does it show alternative routes to choose from by any chance?
Many thanks for any pointers.

Re: Getting Real Time Traffic Info to work

Hi all, thanks for the guidance. Basically, no Globe visible, so changed the Vodafone SIM which came with the card for a 3 SIM - hey presto, everything's good! Maps updates automatically, Real Time Traffic is fine - so good outcome. No idea why the "free" Vodafone SIM failed (did reinstall...
