Re: Paint Protection. I’ve got it but is it worth it?

Had this Gtechniq ceramic paint protection applied by professional detailer and been washing the car myself regularly by the Gwash. I am satisfied with the result.

Thank you :-)

Re: Can anyone tell me what this is?....

This is the sport key for the keyless drive, an option for the r design & inscription trim.

I just tried it and would like to use it as my normal daily key instead because of the size. Nevertheless I have question: anyone know how long the battery last and how to recharge/replace the battery?

Re: T3 RDesign or T5 Momentum?

I’m between the beatiful black/red fusion t3 rdesign vs the all black t5 It’s heart (rdesign) vs head (PHEV) war! :) You can also consider a momentum with a white colour roof. My initial choice was Amazon blue with the white roof and 19" wheels. That colour was discontinued then wife and I agr...

Re: T3 RDesign or T5 Momentum?

In your case in Portugal it is T5 hybrid.

From the UK price list, the difference between a T3 manual and a T5 hybrid is over €10k :( :o :evil:. Furthermore the road tax is also higher for the T5 hybrid. The government name that as luxury car tax because of its high list price :cry:

Re: T3 RDesign or T5 Momentum?

Hi there, You mentioned budget restrictions, but the list price for a T5 hybrid is over 50% more than a T3. Secondly, isn't T5 is available for r-design and inscription trim only, I don't have the spec sheet in front of me, better check and confirm. Last but not least, you need one of the intellisaf...

The dealer thought it was signal strength but it still didn't work after it was at different location with maximum no. of signal bar. However I tried it again the next morning, everyt...

Re: UK 1st year Road Fund Licence

The first link has shown that a MY20 R-design pro T4 FWD produces 132gm CO2 and based on that it is £210 1st year tax. However I have checked the V5 for my MY20 R-design pro T4 FWD, it is 156gm CO2 instead thus £530 tax.

Either the web is incorrect or Volvo with have an upgrade later.
