Re: Brake Fluid Change

My car had its two year service 6 months ago just before everything changed and lockdown started.
No mention was made regarding the brake fluid, but the rear brake pads did require replacement after 22,000 miles

Re: Is sunroof trouble free?

I’ve got the sunroof which has caused no problems at all in the two and a half years that I’ve had the car. The auto closing blind works well and I’ve had no rattles or leaks despite experiencing numerous heavy downpours and extremes of temperature. Having the sunroof certainly lightens up the inter...

Re: New 'Almost' member

Welcome to the forum.

The manual does look daunting, but a lot of items are mainly set and forget.

Re: Options you wish you hadn't bothered with

I’m afraid to say that I disagree with you. I’ve had the car well over two years and find the 360 camera extremely useful. However I don’t just rely on the one screen. I switch between the various cameras as required. If you need greater resolution then use the zoom button. The camera is not a subst...

Re: Poll time - Would you have paid to have a different colour?

Amazon blue has nothing to do with the river.
It’s a retro colour that was originally available on the Volvo Amazon. Hence the name.

Re: where to buy

I used Carwow as a price finder when I ordered my FE in October 2017. I was quoted a £500 premium by several dealers, so I quickly gave up with Carwow. I used my local dealer who negotiated from list price. The car was ordered sight unseen based on reviews and only a couple of weeks after the order ...

Re: Parking Sensors

67 plate would be either an early dealer demo or a press car.
Car was only released into showrooms at end of February and registrations changed to 18 from March.
That car will be a First Edition which came with park assist as standard.
Mine has those additional sensors fitted

Re: Screenwash pump

The screenwash only works when the wipers are going in the up direction and the button is pressed.
The screenwash stops when the wipers are going in the down direction or as soon as the button is released..

As stated above the rear works for as long as the control is activated.
