Re: MPG - Again :-)

T5 FE update, with Polestar. Over the past 4240 miles (car now on 6500 miles), my calculated fuel use is coming in at 34mpg, not too far off Volvos claim (87%). It is ever so slightly improving. Pretty impressed with this to be honest. My journey types are 40% town, 60% dual carriageway/motorway. Ho...

Re: Lease vehicle - changes

OK, spoke with the lease = there's a £50 'cherished plate management fee' hmmmm so I think I'll not bother and leave it on my Vespa. Tyres - no problem changing. Now just to determine whether to change to the crossclimates now or see how next winter goes. I live in quite a hilly rural part of Sheff...

Re: Water leak!!

Hi all, Its been raining round my neck of the woods (SE London) and needed to nip to the shops this morning. I accidentally dropped my house keys between my seat and the drivers door and reaching down under my seat to recover said keys I noticed the carpet was wet. Upon further investigation I foun...

Re: Polestar

Thanks for update Telboy; I'm guessing from your 33.8mpg you generally drive in an Eco mode. If you floor it in an Eco mode does it kick down and accelerate similar to the dynamic mode. I haven't got my XC40 yet (Now mid Oct), so I'm not familiar with the XC40 yet Luckily I use mine for work so do ...

Re: Polestar

Not seen much from the T5 pole*'d. Any updates T5'ers. So my car is on 5,500 miles of which the last 1,000 have been with the polestar on - T5 FE. MPG has improved by smallish margin, especially around town which always helps, my long term mpg over the last 3,500 miles is now 33.8 calculated. In ge...
