So daughter finally collected her car today. Almost 4 weeks after arriving at the dealer. Volvo sent the documents electronically in a file that could not be opened. Volvo couldn’t open it either so they then sent paper copies which were duly signed and returned as requested. Then radio silence. Ph...

I would just carry a bulb kit. Easily available from Halfords. I have only once been stopped in France for a random check after a toll booth. I was driving a 25 year old car which may be why I was targeted. They were polite and thorough. Checked paperwork, lights, tyres etc. did not check for spare ...

Are you purchasing a new kit from Volvo or a secondhand one? The price of the new kit includes fitting.

Completely agree. Speed limit signs are hopeless. However it's not just Volvo. Our sons Ioniq 5 makes has the same errors as the Volvo. It appears it's not just the camera getting confused but also the underlying database. Doesn't bode well for full autonomous driving.

The XC40 was done with Autoglym Lifeshine when new. Now 2 yers old and beading like new. Really ease to clean. The dirt ...

Ours went off once on a dual carriageway. Road appeared clear but a plastic traffic cone thrown up by a machine mowing the grass verge slammed into the car a fraction of a second later. Fortunately no damage done. The system is clearly very sensitive but I guess if it wasn't then people would compla...

They may say that but it’s not true. DVLA issues an age related number when you take off personal plate. It’s simpler if it has been registered but it isn’t essential.

I have used something called Finesse. I think it’s by 3M. It’s only available to body shops but you can find it on eBay. Worked wonders on ours.
