Re: Finally delivered!

Very pleased for you. I am sure you are going to enjoy it a lot.
First thing to do, put a matte screen protector on the centre display. Cuts down on reflections, fingerprints and protects from harmful cleaning agents.

Re: Glacier Silver T4

The silvers show off the black roof better than the greys in my opinion. Thinking of getting my roof wrapped in black to mimic the R-Design on my silver momentum pro. There just happens to be a car wrapping firm on the same road as the Volvo dealership in Norwich. Just need to price it up first.

Re: New car ordered

Don't let your trials and tribulations put you off the car. It's a cracking motor. Really loving mine and spending far to much on accessories.

Re: ME & MUDFLAPS

Mine have just arrived from China having been ordered on the 15th June. Took about 10 minutes per wheel. Using a mini torx ratchet I didn't even have to turn the front wheels out. They look good and at a fraction of the dealer prices you can't go wrong.

Re: Glacier Silver

When I select glacier silver in the current UK configurator, it shows as a slightly darker shade than my bright silver. I quite like the glacier silver as bright silver looks almost white.

Re: Faraday bag

At the risk of stating the obvious: Make sure you keep your spare key suitably isolated as well. I read an article about someone who used a faraday pouch for the key they used daily but their car was stolen via the 'relay theft' method because they had forgotten that the spare was just as vulnerabl...

Faraday bag

I may be preaching to the converted but I have bought a Faraday bag off Amazon to protect my keys from being hacked and the car being driven off. Anyone added any other form of theft protection, steering wheel clamps for example?

Best MPG to date

Finally had a chance of a longish run out in decent weather. Just over 60 miles in a 2 hour trip at an average speed of 35 mph returned me 47.9 mpg. I am sure I can improve on this as I got stuck behind farm vehicles for some of the way hence the low average speed. Well pleased with the figures for ...
