Am I right to be annoyed?
Car just returned from its 1 year service. Listed the issues I have with the vehicle at drop-off, told I could collect at 5pm. Reading the report to me the service desk guy tells me my two front tyres are worn (listed as 'advisory' on the report) but my rear tyres are fine. I inform him the front pa...

Re: Main Dealer Service
Have you checked the tread wear yourself or at a tyre centre? Mine were checked at Volvo as part of another issue and they said my front were nearing replacement levels of wear, Kwikfit checked them and showed 4mm remaining.

Re: Panoramic Roof for R Design Pro
I'm pretty sure the driver shouldn't be able to see any panoramic or glass roof from their seat. That's... not the driving window. That aside, I drive with the blind constantly open. For me it changes the feel of the car. My only problem with the panoramic roof is the bubbling noise from the drains ...

Re: Fuel economy problems
Well it's been back in the workshop. Another 'software update' performed, and after filling the tank to maximum this morning this is what I'm getting. 93B08168-A24F-46DB-9688-252E200B74B3.jpeg When I say filled, I mean until the pump cut off. From a --:-- readout on remaining fuel. Going by that lev...

Re: Automatic rear windscreen wiping when reversing
Same. The rear only activates if the fronts are working.

Re: Tyres
Mine came with Continental EcoContact 6. Currently at 8400 miles and the front tyres are down to just under 3mm. I'm not overly enthusiastic with the accelerator, nor do I corner particularly hard. I'm quite surprised how fast they seem to be wearing down.

Re: Fuel economy problems
We're back to the fuel system misbehaving again. Have been getting around 400 miles to a tank the past few full fills, but now the readout doesn't change for 60-70 miles then reports that I've used anything between 1/3rd and 1/2 a tank. Go the pump and fill until it cuts off and it's taking less tha...

Re: What have you just found out about your XC40.
That using the scroll wheel to control the lights has a tiny amount of haptic / audio feedback. It's so quiet that you can't hear it when you're moving.

Re: Comfort and Model Advice
I've got the Inscription Pro, use it to ferry around a passenger with a poorly healed broken back, they do fine with it. I kept the standard 19" wheels and while some complain about it in bends I've not yet found one where the body movement is an issue. Everything else is as you want, assuming ...

Re: Headlights
IIRC the adaptive shadow was offered as part of a saf3ety package when I ordered mine. Went with the 'standard' bending ones. As jamie307 said, XC40 doesn’t offer adaptive shadow headlight technology. I was also confused about this at the time of my order since the XC40 online car configurator was ...
