Re: Random electrical gremlins?

Well the XC40 is going tomorrow.... We have done a deal with our dealer against a nearly new XC60, my wife has totally lost faith in the XC40 which is a massive shame as its a nice car but their inability to resolve this issue has proven to be its downfall. Nice - what model you going for ? Hope th...

Re: Tesla may open its Supercharger network in UK to non-Tesla cars

Yes, been reading and watching about this...

It's definitely a step forward in the right direction, the infrastructure just doesn't appear to be progressing as fast as it's needed, if they're going to stick with the 2030 deadline...

But as you say, at what cost is it going to be to use one ??

Re: Random electrical gremlins?

Garage has just called me. Apparently nothing wrong with the car again despite being in for the 5th time for the same issue and being delivered to them on a recovery truck electrically dead. Dealer read out to me the transcript from Volvo technical and it shows either a massive lack of knowledge or...

Re: Brake Characteristics: Normal vs. Dynamic

I didn’t notice a difference when I tried it - might need to try for a longer period…

I presumed it was more / less assistance given depending on which mode…

Re: External trim cleaner

Hi I picked up some autoglym gel after the recommendations and the trim does look better, however we have not seen much rain since applying so will have to see how it goes. I don’t think i cleaned the trim as much as I should have done so if the finish doesn’t last it’s probably because of that. Po...

Re: Morning

Cheers Mike 👍🏻

Very informative, cheers.

Yes keeping my eye open to grab one of the 3 SIM cards if / when it comes on offer - lots of helpful posts on here recommending it…

I’ve mastered (I think) the USB music - transferring from Mac and it shows album art okay.

Cheers

Re: Wireless device mirroring, CarPlay & AndroidAuto 8G0B

Re: External trim cleaner

As has been recommended, Autoglym trim is worth a look at.

I’d give it a good clean first, to ensure as clean as possible and that you’ve no previous products present - a good citrus or APC sprayed on, agitated and rinsed off well, dry it and then apply your dressing…

Re: Front bumper XC40

Might be worth having a look yourself - it’s probably just come unpoppped - had this on a previous car, undid the front part of the inner wheel arch, managed to get my hands on the trim piece, but of manipulating and all good 👍🏻
