Re: Can you drive the T5 sedately?
Yes you can, I do it all the time. Occasionally, if I've had a couple of dopios I stick it in sport mode and have a little fun. Not as much fun as I used to have every day with my last car (Merc C class coupe) but I'm getting on now so Volvo for me from now on.

Re: XC40 EV Charging
I took the factory standard 3 pin cable which is at least 7m long. I paid my local friendly spark to fit an outdoor socket on it's own fuse (32 amp for the future) for £200. And I can use it for outdoor power as well as the car.

Re: Slow burn
Your right 'Dermottdog' the more I drive mine the more I understand the reasons why things are happening with the systems. A lot of the posts in this forum stem from a misunderstanding of the requirements and subsequent actions of the software and hardware. Maybe it my military background, but I rea...

Re: Blind spots.
Your right gray'69, at least it has trained me to use wing mirrors pretty much exclusively now. As skyrimmer says the wing mirrors are good.

Hybrid starter battery
Here is a technical question for you mechanics (sorry, I mean technicians) out there. I understand that the starter battery on the hybrid is charged when you plug in to charge the hybrid battery, however, is there an alternator on the petrol engine to charge it when your using power mode.

Re: What have you just found out about your XC40.

Re: What have you just found out about your XC40.
Thought that might be the case, and I probably wouldn't use them much as well. Just I was expecting them for some reason.

Re: What have you just found out about your XC40.
No gear change paddles on the steering wheel! Dealer said they have been deleted from MY21. Starting to dislike the dealer, said a lot that didn't happen and didn't say anything about things that did happen. I won't make any quotes about Arthur Daley.
