Re: Changing display from miles to Kms

There's two ways, the 'tourist' option on the trip computer and the other one in the settings which is the one I prefer because it changes everything into kmh, so that way I actually know if I'll reach my destination on one tank :lol:

Re: Delivery Date

I have ordered T3 R Design manual in March 2018 despite mentioning I want the oncall start and pre cabin heating facilities via the app. I was not made aware it was on only available in an automatic version of the car. A month later (April 2018) on incidental finding on the brochure, I am complaine...

Re: setting headlights for UK driving

You don't have to adjust LED headlights because the beam pattern doesn't kick like halogen headlights.
Just make sure you don't use the auto high beam because that's set up for traffic driving on the other side of the road.

Re: Loss of traction

Anybody in the T3 noticed the car losing traction very easily?

Had it a week now and a few times the car has momentarily lost traction over something as little as going over a grid.

Worries me for the winter to be honest.
I've not noticed, what size wheels do you have, I've got 20s

Re: Harman Kardon stereo?

I've been having a lot of issues with my HK system. Faulty air-woofer from the factory so that was replaced, then after that I have a lot of rattling from the glovebox and centre dash area, also loud tinny metallic vibrations from the front door speakers. Took it in again, the passenger door now see...

Re: R-Design Pro

Oh also. The car went in for the speaker system... My air woofer was faulty without a doubt, he said it was jumping about. My door speakers weren't touched so it's going back in for those, they agree something is wrong there. You expect a new car to be able to play piano without a metallic, shrill, ...

Re: R-Design Pro

I've asked a couple of dealerships about this because I don't have them on my car and nobody seems to know because they aren't actually on the spec list... What I have noticed though is the people who have got the puddle lights have keyless entry. I don't have keyless and I don't have them, doesn't ...

Re: Heated windscreen

I just press the button once and it turns on. I have noticed that I have one inoperable heater band of my screen though which I'm not happy about.
Another annoying thing is how quickly the heated screen turns off!

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

I saw hundreds before I got mine and since, just the one! We both clocked each other as he was pulling out of the road I was turning into... His was a silver Inscription 18 plate I think

XC60 would have been my choice but it's just a bit too big, bit too pricey and I like the squat, tough look of the XC40
