Re: Volvo insurance

My reg isn’t there but Direct Line can not find a XC40 B3 plus only a B4 Ultimate. Honestly it's best to do this online, most car insurance call centres are useless these days. I just checked Direct Line's online quote system and B3 Plus is not available if you first choose "petrol" as th...

Re: used XC40 query

In a nutshell though. All trims came with folding mirrors. Only the R-Design Pro and Inscription and Inscription Pro came with a power seat as standard. The Momentum Pro had a powered driver's seat too, at least in 2020. I did keep all the price lists to track the changing specs but I lost them :cry:

The 158 mild hybrid, which is essentially the same power as my T3 was.

As to the Q3, it's not available with a heated steering wheel, even if you pay £48k for a top spec model. :roll:

Re: What Next?

Qashqai for me. The Mk3 is a big step up, so leave any prejudices behind. The main things I've noticed so far are that it's a smoother ride especially over speed bumps, and that it's quieter in the cabin. Plus you get all the tech for a reasonable price (adaptive headlights and cruise, HUD etc) for ...

Re: What to drive next?

Well, I'm off, my XC40 lease was taken off to auction. If you like the spec in my sig keep an eye out for it at a forecourt near you soon. I would have liked to buy another one to replace it, but with basic safety features like BLIS currently only available on Ultimate trim (if it's not deleted with...

Re: Will these alloys fit?

All current and recent Volvo models have the same pitch circle diameter and centre bore, but the offset varies between models.

Re: Decoding vehicle plate

The T4UVA headlight cover is made in Austria, not the whole car. The other numbers appear to be bulb and lighting specs. This is all about lights and not a vehicle ID sticker. It's stuck on a lighting system part isn't it?

Re: New to Volvo - Space Saver Wheel

According to tyresize.com 235/55/R18 has a diameter of 716mm. Compare this to the tyre on the spare that you have seen.

Wheel fitments can be found on www.wheelfitment.eu/car/Volvo/XC40%20(2017%20-%20).html

Re: Dashcam

Volvo have been about to launch their own dashcam for nearly as long as fusion power has been 50 years away.
