Re: Armrest Driving Me Nuts!

Your not alone, I also have a squeeky armrest, identicle to your description, so much I now try my best to avoid touching it! It's my number one problem to resolve at the moment, and I should imagine it will involve a new arm rest lid. The noises are from the lid for sure as you can produce the soun...

Re: Brightness Wheel Switch Doesn't Work

I've noticed that the wheel switch right next to the power tailgate button which is supposed to let us adjust the brightness level of the instrument screen/display doesn't do anything. Anyone else have the same issue? I've noticed a similar glitch with mine but only a couple of times, I've experien...

Re: STILL haven't seen......

Recently completed 1500 miles down to and around northern Spain on motorcycle over ten days, did not see any XC40's untill the final day when I spotted one parked up in Pamplona.

Re: Opinions needed please guys - my apologies for lengthy post

Robbo as much as your solution would be a good fix to the problem, I think we all know everything is not that simple, if the car was rejected we can very safely assume it will not be replaced within the week. Then who's the real loser? I would let them carry out the work, with a matching xc40 courte...

Re: Delivery Date

No problem. I guess that could be a potential reason for it, strange none the less!
My car was delivered to dealers on 10th March, order late November, so early but not the first.
