Noise when steering right
My MY21 B4 fwd has developed a very odd mechanical noise when I turn the steeering wheel to the right. There's now 3 / 4 very definite loud but soft 'clunks' (like if you pulled one of those ribbed cable tidy sleeves across a shelf edge) whenever I turn the wheel to the right. Does not happen turnin...

Re: Speed cameras
I pass a camera on a 60mph section of the A40 pretty much daily. If the road is empty and I can travel at 60mph I get a warning from the car, if there's traffic and I'm below 55mph it doesn't warn me. That's been consistant for nearly 2 years now.

Re: Am I right to be annoyed?
Very satisfied with how the dealership handled it. Tyre treads confirmed as different, original technician couldn't explain why the treads were wrong, also told manager he thought he'd checked the boot / flat-fix and has apologised for both mistakes. They didn't go into detail but these issues will ...

Re: Style over substance. IMHO
It is very hard to grasp because it is totally irrelevant. As the OP keeps saying it is the *current* second-hand prices that matter. Nonsense. The second hand prices have absolutely nothing at all to do with how the car was built. If you want to get into value and depreciation it's a whole other t...

Re: Style over substance. IMHO
I don't understand how this is so hard to grasp. A Volvo XC40 kitted out with all the gizmos and gadgets is a (being generous) £45,000 vehicle. It *starts* at £32k. It has kit, trim, finish and detail *built to that level* and to compare it to a vehicle that costs an extra £10-15k when new - as this...

Re: Style over substance. IMHO
So what we're saying is that it's 'fair' to compare a vehicle that costs £40k approx at the high end to a car that *starts* at that price, because you can find outlier used vehicles at less than you'd expect. Why stop there? You put the Q7 against a Bentley and it looks like a Ford Ka. Yes, the XC40...

Re: Am I right to be annoyed?
Volvo are collecting the car tomorrow and having one of their senior technicians go over it. The original technician will apparently be questioned on what happened. Updates as I get them.

Re: Am I right to be annoyed?
Well it's all in the hands of their service manager now. I took the car to have the tyres checked at a local independent place and their findings didn't agree with the report at all. If the service manager doesn't come up with an acceptable way to rectify things I'll escalate, and if I get nowhere I...
