Re: Brake groan

Was going to start a new post asking about brake groans and a quick search has dug up this thread. I've got the exact same thing going on - low speed manoeuvring, particularly if on a slope, and the brakes make groaning noises. Fine in normal driving - I normally just get it at home as my drive is o...

Re: Carpet/Parcel Shelf Fibre?

YES! Although I’ve only just realised this after reading your post. Last week I did a tip run and after storing the parcel shelf and loading the car with rubbish, I had what felt like splinters or a sharp pins and needles sensation in both hands. At the time I’d assumed it was something from the mat...

Re: Test drive questions

I agree the Audi and Seat has the edge over the Volvo purely in terms of performance and the responsiveness of the gearbox. I test drove an Ateca, and both a Q2 and Q3 - they are definitely sharper, punchier drives. I just found on balance the XC40 offered more, some great tech as standard and a goo...

Re: My Xmas present!

Got to admit to being a little bit jealous I didn't get a bow tied around mine at pickup. Congratulations though, Santa did well this year.

Re: Does ACC allow fully automatic speed limit observance ?

There are two distinct features here, Automatic Speed Limiter (also called Speed Sign Assist) which I think is standard on all xc40s (?), and Adaptive Cruise Control which is part of the Intellisafe Pro package. When ASL is enabled, it actually does nothing until you toggle on the normal Speed Limit...

The eagle has landed (BB RDPro)

Today was much anticipated hand over day. Very pleased although have only been able to drive a handful of miles today. Massive thumbs up from my 5 year old daughter too, who has already managed to make a mess in the back in the short drive home from school.

Me too... I think it is an embedded amazon product link, which my ad blocker does not like.

Re: You’re going to hate me..

No hate here. The standard nine month wait is a rite of passage round here, a journey of self reflection that you just wont get to experience 😂 Nah, congrats. I’m picking up mine next week too, so no tips to offer but curious how you get on with the insurance. All stuff I’ve got to sort out in the n...

Initial delivery date was November, then by the end of Summer that had become 17 December. In November it got put back again to late January, which I was not happy about, but seems that was a false alarm as the 17 December date is back on now.
