Re: What car are you changing from?
I've just ordered an XC40 B3 Mild Hybrid Plus to replace my 2020 XC40 T3 R-Design. Although no haggling was allowed on the new car's price, the dealer gave me a good trade-in for my car, plus £1,500 worth of "products" including GAP insurance, Supagard (which I always have, anyway), tyre a...

Re: Serious safety incident – Volvo XC40 recharge
I experienced something similar yesterday. I was driving around a gentle right bend in a village at about 30 mph. There was a car parked some way back (about 5 metres) on a large driveway on the left at the apex of the bend. My car slammed on the brakes, started an audible alarm, lit up a picture of...

Re: Click sound for indicator lights just randomly stopped!
Others have posted that the "missing" clicks are a deliberate feature (mine does this) in order to draw the driver's attention to the fact that the indicators are still on, just in case you've forgotten to cancel them. It works.

Re: Manual seat adjustment
Every now and again, I find that the driver's seat needs to be raised a little bit, but I put it down to, perhaps, accidentally pushing the height adjuster when entering or leaving the car. It's only a small amount, though. I'm very short so have the seat at its maximum height - which makes it obvio...

Re: Spare wheel.
I had a space saver spare wheel with wheel brace and jack supplied and fitted by the dealer when I bought my nearly-new XC40 two years ago. The price was £275 including the VAT. The underfloor tray has to be replaced but I don't know if anything else has to be done to ensure the spare is safely loca...

Re: Fuel consumption
My MY20 T3 petrol 8-speed auto, driven in Comfort mode with stop/start disabled (I hate it) averages over 38 mpg in mixed driving on mostly A roads and local roads, with some shortish motorway journeys. On a long motorway run at 60-70 mph, it achieves over 48 mpg. I think that's pretty acceptable.
