Re: What tyres next?

I have done just over 37,000 on the original Michelin Primacy 4 and have 2.9mm left on the front so it's time to change them. I have just ordered a set of the same from ATS and they have a £70 discount on 4 Michelins at the moment so fully fitted comes to £564. That's £141 each, I'm happy with that....

Mine won't remote start if I have less than a quarter of a tank, range over 100 - quite ridiculous.

Re: Parking brake not always applied!

I had this when I first got the car. Experimentation showed that if I pressed the engine stop button quickly when the car came to a stop, before the auto-hold light came on, then the parking brake was not applied. I started glancing at the auto-hold light and waiting until it came on then pressing e...

Re: Classic FM and DAB+

Tried search and voice without success. I can receive other DAB+ stations, including the CAPITAL ones mentioned on the ClassicFM website, so I am assuming it's not a car problem.

Classic FM and DAB+

Hi all,

Classic FM switched to DAB+ on 2nd January and now I can't receive it (message is "no reception").

According to the Volvo website, MY21 XC40s support DAB and DAB+ so does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be?

Thanks,

Re: Climate Pre Conditioning

My heated front screen only comes on when the outside temperature is close to zero.

Re: Manic Auto Wipers

Thanks for the thoughts. I don't think it's the blades or windscreen as I clean them regularly and they usually work fine, it's only when they have gone up to full speed in heavy rain that this happens. I hadn't thought about changing sensitivity, I will try that next time.
Thanks again,
Stanno

Manic Auto Wipers

Hi all, Drove down to Cardiff yesterday, lots of rain, wipers on auto. In heavy rain the wipers went into full speed mode, however, when the rain eased, they remained in manically fast mode and I had to turn auto off and on to return to normal function. Anyone else seen this? Or any suggestions as t...
