Re: Infotainment system is atrocious
My twopenn'eth, the infotainment system is a bit underwhelming to look at, it sometimes takes about 4 attempts to actually start, and only when the radio comes on, do I feel that it is actually going to start properly. It does start most of the time, just not every time, and if it doesn't, it may tr...

Re: T5 Recharge question
I'm no help at all, but what is your current car, giving you 60mpg? This is very good mpg, even on a long run. Im lucky to see that from a D4. I guess. It depends how much you can use the pure electric. Be interesting to see the replies from some owners, especially ones who tow a caravan.

Re: Towbar - so impressed!!!
I'm avoiding the mpg threads, as I don't want shouting at for being a tight git. On my recent excursions with the van, (1500 kg of swift challenger), I got around 25mpg, one run was mostly A roads, one run was about 70% motorway, with the rest B roads, and the other was a mix of motorway, A & B ...

Re: Tyre rotation
With regard to the dipstick, they can never go wrong or be subject to 'software' problems. You can also check whether the oil has actually been changed or not. Bring back the dipstick! Got to agree with you there, somethings are just easier and more reliable left alone. Seems a bit pointless getting...

Re: Tyre rotation
I've never done it, I only personally know one fella who used to do it, but he wore driving gloves, etc. Nowt wrong with that, just seems to me to be a throwback to the old days. It also says in the link, that there is no mandatory tyre rotation, so they aren't that bothered, just means you will pro...

Re: Luggage/boot space
Right, I've measured my boot floor, it's just the basic floor, not the fancy folding one, but I guess it's no different. It's 100cm wide, 80 cm deep, front to back. There's a bit of give on the corners. If you measure the boot you have now it may give you an idea of relative sizes?

Re: Luggage/boot space
Sorry, I've no idea if golf bats fit in the boot, I can say it's quite a good square shape, but that's probably not much use. So maybe you could take your bats to the dealer (sorry, I couldn't resist)

Re: MY22?
When do they start building the MY22? I ordered mine back in March for me to take delivery in June so I'm hoping I will get a MY21. I think Volvo should take note of things like this, it's not really encouraging, that people prefer the previous model year, without the "yearly improvements"...
