Re: STILL haven't seen......
I don’t know if there was a meet in East Anglia yesterday, but I saw three driving from Aldeburgh to Leeds, one in Aldeburgh, and two on the A14. Never had more than one in a day before.

Re: Interesting Hybrid Charging concept
Interesting take on things. I currently drive a plug-in, and with a standard 13A socket, it will only charge at 10A to prevent it getting too hot. This takes a long time - fine for overnight - would be better if it could use a 16A or even 32A to work around a more typical day. I would also be intere...

Re: What do you think of the new Q3?
It’s an improvement over the VERY old outgoing one, but not to my taste at all. Trying too hard to stand out, and fails. Someone put the Q7 on the photocopier, and press the 50% reduce button!

Re: time disappears and car cannot find key fob?
Someone at work had the problem with the key fob. Wouldn’t even let him lock the car while he went home to pick up the spare. Advice for Volvo in Leeds was to carry both the fob and leisure fob. Bad enough if you have the leisure fob, but what those that don’t?

Re: Driver Profile includes Drive Mode?
Why would you want to disable something which is designed to save you money? Mitsubishi told me they have started taking this out because it doesn’t actually save money, especially in auto boxes. It’s not so bad with manuals because you keep the clutch depressed on short stops, like slow moving tra...

Re: Software update thread.
I'd like CarPlay to be visible in the instrument cluster. The phone can do it, but manufacturers seem slow to be including it. I can't see any reason why not, especially on something like Volvo's range of cars with LCD instrument clusters.
