Re: T3 owners, what’s your town MPG?

In the first 1000 miles my wife has averaged 33mpg in ours, pretty much all town miles and she has a heavy right foot!

Re: Aftermarket roof bars

Just to update the thread, ended up getting a Summit set of roof bars as they had a What Car best buy.
Easy enough to fit and work fine with our bike racks - only issue is that the car isn't as wide across the roof as out Tiguan was, so can only get 3 bikes on as opposed to 4.

Re: Waiting for September number plate

Think its more important these days that you have the latest MY model rather than reg plate. I'd hazard a guess that a MY2020 car registered in 2019 will retain a better value than a MY2019 car registered in the same year.

Re: Free DATA for MY2020

Oh well, the Three SIM I’m running can stay in there until the first service.
See the Volvo offering only lasts a year though.

Re: Aftermarket roof bars

Shame, too wide for my bike racks as they are clamp-on type - maximum of 50mm

Re: Aftermarket roof bars

How wide are the bars? Look may be a bit tight for the clamps on our bike racks.
Do look ideal though.

I’ll take a look at those too then, thanks.

Aftermarket roof bars

Anyone tried aftermarket roof bars on their XC40 yet?
Saw a company selling genuine for sub £100 but can’t find them now!
