Re: Interior lighting

F.Y.I, my 2019 XC40 T3 R-Design (my2020 build) with no sunroof, has a pair of switchable spot/reading lights fitted into the centre-rear roof lining. These come on as interior lights when the door is opened. Picked it up July 30th 2019.

Re: Anyone else think the reversing light is not bright enough.

I can't believe that some people believe that reversing lights are there to indicate to others that you are reversing! They are there so that the driver can see when going backward after dark - at least, that's what they were for on every other car I've owned. Unfortunately on the XC40 the light is...

Re: Clutch Pedal Issue?

so I got a call (first one in 3 working days!) from the dealer this morning to come and collect my xc40 with the, expected statement of "we haven`t been able to recreate the fault, so you can come and collect your car" This I have now duly done. The service manager even took my car home wi...

Taking the good lady to the local supermarket, about 4-5 miles away for a quick shop I had a somewhat concerning problem when the clutch/pedal suddenly stopped working!

Re: Young at heart

Nice models........Lego-Blocks just love it. My Son and Grandson are now both well into it and always making one thing or another, so a few years ago, I decided to make some models, along a military theme, just to keep them company, you understand! (very addictive :P )

Re: T3 r design + mods

Some nice touches there stavroskon, imo! 8-) As far as I can see, blacked up grill emblem, body coloured wheel arch protectors, lower side mouldings plus front and rear lower bumper mouldings and of course blacked up alloys.........certainly looks well with the grey. (If I`m to be honest a little li...
