Re: First Service - Main Dealer or Independent?

Thanks all for your advice, and @MikeUK for finding the info on their site that I couldn't see! The work/repairs under warranty is clearly a key factor here, so I will rebook with a main dealer.

First Service - Main Dealer or Independent?

Hi All, I have my car booked in for a service at Sentinel London. When I booked in December they were a Volvo main dealer. In January they switched to being Independent. I've tried contacting them to see if they offer the same software update, health check, etc., as they would have if they were a ma...

Re: Aftermarket roof bars

Hi All, need a value set of roof bars just for occasional use - so the Thules at £200+ new are a bit too much. Saw roofbox.co.uk recommended on the Facebook group, and they have Cruz bars, which would be about £140 with locks included. Anyone got any experience with Cruz or the website? Or any recom...

Re: Service plan - you’re mad if you don’t have it

To those of you with the Service Plan, do you all own outright/via Volvo Finance? My dealer hasn't been able to offer me the plan as we used a different finance company on my 3-year lease, so much cheaper monthly payment, but stung for servicing! They always get you somehow... Did enquire about main...

Re: Poll: Lead times ( from order till delivery)

Checked in with my dealer today on my Incription T3 delivery, ordered end of June. Delivery has gone from 'late September' to '19th November at the dealer'! Leaves me without a car for over a month, and likely a month and a half, which is frustrating.

Re: Confused new owner!

Is the car brand new? I see everyone's gone into depth about different suspension settings, but when I got my latest car new I also felt nauseous. Couldn't work it out, but realised that the lovely 'new car smell' was actually a potent mix of chemicals making me feel very similar to motion sickness....

Re: Query re 360 camera

I’m so confused… so I ordered my XC40 inscription at the start of June and was told by my leasing company that he was unable to add a 360 camera to my order due to short supply for parts along with the BLIS-Blind Spot!! Is he telling me porkies?? The problem with the shortage is with Driver Awarene...

Re: Query re 360 camera

Hi, I put in my order for an XC40 Inscription last week - signed paperwork on my lease deal on 28th June, and got the 360 camera as a standalone upgrade as Inscription already comes with Park Assist. Only one dealer was able to offer it to me ahead of the price changes, all the others had their syst...
