Arrived on the 31st.....first trip out!

Well here she is all crystal-white and glowing! Arrived Wed. 31st Aug. and after a very intensive check-over I stuck in £50 worth of juice and we paid a visit to Snows Hill Lavender Farm in the Cotswolds. Lovely day and a fantastic drive. That T3 engine is a Joy, really! Lovin` it, so far! :D

Re: Brake lights - Are they LED or just plain old filament

I kind of agree with ChrisLF on this, BUT, I say, there`s always room for a little improvement where practical, especially on bulb/light reaction times, but not necessarily brightness/lumens. Had a little bit of useful info the other day, from a contact in Volvo Parts that might help with Volvo`s th...

Re: Lighting

Does somebody knows the lumens of the original bulbs? For those interested: Original PY21W indictor bulb: 280 lumen Original H21W brake light bulb: 600 lumen The original bulb lumens quoted, is that 'per bulb' or as a 'pair'? The reason I ask is that lumens quoted on the various web sites seem to v...

Re: Service reminders reset

Good to know, Skyrimmer. I was hopping this would do the trick, both for my own info and poss. future servicing regime, if it comes to it! This, close-to-the-chest dealer info stuff deserves to be put out there for all who can/want use it! Nice thing about forums !

Re: Just ordered XC40 R Design in Rugby

From that short delivery lead-time, I`m assuming you`ve managed to get a dealer-stock or demonstrator vehicle? Fyi, I did see a black one, in stock and ready-to-go, the other day, at a dealership in Warwick? Must admit though, it does look cool in the black but watch out for your cleaning regime! ;)...

Re: Considering XC40

Considering buying an XC40, excellent choice, IMO......So here`s something to ponder over. I`ve just had this snippet of info sent to me from my brother, currently residing in Singapore. When I told him that my new ride would, soon, be a XC40 T3 R-design, he did a bit of digging around, just for amu...
