Re: Brake groan

We have the same problem , appears worse when reversing slowly on a slope and stop start. I think its a design issue on the disc brake system or the type of pads used . Its a little annoying and distracting but not a safety concern. Never known it on any other vehicle unless they had been stood for...

Brake groan

Hi all, anyone else finding that their brakes groan when manoueuvring at low speed and / or the steering creaking, also when low-speed turning? Two different dealerships have had a go at fixing it so far, without success. No a big issue to be fair, and maybe I'm just being picky, but I wouldn't have...

Re: Boot liner / Mat

I bought this: "Sakura FERSS4612 Boot Liner and Bumper Protector" from Amazon. Only £9.99, made of tough fabric with elastic straps to go over the headrests. It has velcro-fixed side pieces which cover most of the sides of the boot (which is where my dog leaves lots of hair in an unprotect...

Re: Hard Choices, T5 or T4 with “extras” ?

Dunno difference btw T4 and T5 in terms of performance. I’m sure someone more knowledgeable will come along. But if I were to spend my money again on options; Stuff I have is below but stuff I use; BLIS, 360 camera, remote/press button boot opening, pano (nice but only got the pack for the park ass...

Software version

Is there any way to find out what software version is installed (for the cars operating system, not Sensus or the Apps)? I ask because I've seen a few references on here to members cars having software updates carried out, yet my dealer is telling me that my fairly early car doesn't need an update. ...

My dealer certainly didn't bother contacting me. By the way, the first stamp space in the Service Record is for the 3 month service.

Re: Dealer service support

hi Andy mines booked in in 10 days for the 3mth check they asked me to email a list of anything that wanted attention and have organised a loan vehicle knowing the updates to software can take some time. It could be the download speed from Sweden/Belgium that's the problem, but you would expect the...

Dealer service support

How do you all find the level of support from your local dealer at service / repair time? I've just had my XC40 in to my local dealer for two days for the 3 month check plus investigation of a number of issues. Their response was underwhelming - "no fault codes found so everything must be worki...

Re: SRS Urgent Service Alarm !!

Interesting - a wet floor has been reported elsewhere on this forum. Wonder if there is a leak in the floor structure of some sort (shades of the original Mini!).

Re: MPG - Again :-)

Has anyone assessed the effects of running at the Eco tyre pressure (38psi on my 19” wheels) on either fuel consumption or ride quality?

Just pumped my tyres up to Eco pressure so we shall see..........
