Yes, mine had only done around 18k. when I sold it in September, someone got a very nice car. I sometimes wonder if I did the right thing!
Whilst I really like the new one in many ways the stop start is increasingly annoying and I drive in "manual" a lot of the time now to beat it!

Re: Bristol port delay
Yes, as far as EVs go, that's pretty much my thoughts. Obviously "Volvo" made their decision when it was thought that EV sales were only ever going to go one way but non-business users aren't embracing them for the well documented reasons and a result of that is reduced confidence and inve...

Re: Bristol port delay
I'm still wondering if Volvo will stick to their stated aim of going all electric by 2030 given the stalling of EV sales.

Re: Car choices on a budget?
Those with PHEV may chime in here as I don't have any experience of them, but unless you can afford a new car with a full manufacturers warranty I wouldn't touch anything other than an early (pre-2020 model year) T4 or T5. As stated they are proven technology and on the whole reliable. I only change...

Especially as Volvo have built their reputation on safety and still plug it.

Doesn't inspire any confidence in Volvo having a real handle on what exactly the problem is with throwing replacement parts at it i.e. multiple spark plug changes, oil and filter changes (can't get my head round that!) along with injectors.

Even if the road is private, as long as it's not owned by the dealer they can't have you removed.

Re: What have you just found out about your XC40.
The car is almost new so that shouldn't be a problem. Gripross are you trying to use Hey Google to find the station? If so, I had a similar problem and it was telling me to download an app, not Reo though. Gave up in the end and as I mainly listen to Radio 2 DAB I just select it manually from the ce...

Re: Warning displays that don't show on the manual?
Yes and turn it off but mine still activated sometimes! Flawed system with questionable benefits.
On one occasion when I thought it might activate it didn't!
