Re: Impressed with XC40 braking
Have you got a dashcam fitted - if so i think the local police would be interested given the conditions, and the fact you had to take emergency action and the cyclist got derailed Yes I do. I offered the footage to the cyclist but he declined. Given the infinitely small chance of the police doing a...

Impressed with XC40 braking
For the first time since getting my XC40 back in 2018 I was called upon to perform an emergency stop today. Oncoming White Van man decided to overtake a cyclist on a blind bend, misty conditions and a greasy road. I was doing 40 to 45 and I think he was doing pretty much the same speed on my side of...

Re: What don't you like about your XC40?
T5 - mpg, lack of indication of headlights on, hard front seats when you slouch (feels like you’re sitting on a plank of wood), length of time the heated front screen stays on and software glitches.

3rd Party extended warranties
Anyone have previous experience of using 3rd party extended warranty providers? Last year I took out the 4th year extended warranty offered by Volvo ( which turned out to be a 3rd party plan anyway, Car Care Plan Ltd ). The cost last year was £407 but the cover for next year (yr 5) has gone up to £5...

Re: Sensus Map 1380 now available...
I'm on a roll. France update next. Whilst I generally have no complaints with the Sensus sat-nav it’s worrying to note that on 4 separate occasions, at 4 different locations during the last 2 and a half weeks here in the Loire Valley it’s directed me to go the wrong way down a one way street😠 Make ...
