Re: Build Times

Absolutely, Phil. You couldn’t. Sounds like you’re getting the same dealer treatment as us. And we’re in Wales as well. North East. Since ordering right at the beginning of July, my dealer has contacted me ................. zero times. He’s responded to me emailing to arrange each pick-up and swore ...

Re: New car delayed

@Citizen, Thank you. That’s a good idea. I am scouring the ads for one but haven’t checked the Selekt web page. I’ll do that. 👍 And the answer is yes, I would still have one. To be honest, my problem is not with the delays, even though of course it’s truly annoying. My main problem is with the zero ...

Re: Build Times

Oh well done getting that info. 👏👏 And yes, my dealership have BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover and Mini. Now that would explain it. Also rings true as, when talking to Volvo, and bearing in mind they said they’d track my order for me, after I gave Volvo my dealer name they said they couldn’t help me! Now if...

Re: Build Times

Hi there @rafaborges, Yeah, I’m familiar with jit manufacture. The company I work for uses it. What doesn’t sit right with the excuses, though, is the fact that identical cars (same everything), ordered after mine are now delivered and on the UK roads. Even with the factory being affected, this just...

Re: New car delayed

Seems some of us are receiving the same shocking service. My dealership (Rybrook) said they don’t like to give due dates as they just don’t know when the car will be built. Personally, I know it’s a bare faced lie as dealerships are a business (aren’t they?) and without due dates how the hell do the...

Re: Wind deflectors

I quite like these.
I hopefully pick up my car this week and admit I’ve never had any before but I get so fed up of opening the window in the morning only to have water pour onto the electric window controls. That’s in my X1 and every car I’ve ever owned so I’m assuming it’s the same for the XC40.

Re: Collected Today

enneo. Really sorry to hear of your experience. My view of car salesmen/women is that they think they’re Wall Street Traders. At mid 50’s I have yet to have a dealer call me voluntarily to provide an update or information regarding orders. Not once. Not this time I know but when you’re spending nort...

Re: Lumbar support

Could it be something to do with the driver settings and it reverting back to the saved profile?

Re: What have you just found out about your XC40.

@TechnoNerd. Thank you for posting the pic. 🤜🤛 @Soundtrack, definitely 😂🤣 @morganj, I know exactly what you mean. I had RWD for donkeys years before getting my current FWS, X1, (goes next week to be replaced by my XC40!) I was shocked at how it goes so light on the front end under hard acceleration....
