Re: B4 fuel consumption

Have had up to 48.6 on a long run. My app says 39.7 0ver 4437 miles. B4AWD 22 model, just over a year old. Delighted with these figures but I drive with a very light foot.

Or any Internet company. I'm happy to use my ipod and radio for music.

Internet use

Just had an email from Vodafone saying my years free internet is coming to a close, and inviting renewal. As i have 94.87 left of 100GB, I don't think so.

Re: Second set of boot close buttons inside boot of XC40

If your wife doesn’t want to use the button on the dashboard or the kick method, all she needs is a drumstick to reach the buttons inside the boot. I recommend Vic Firth 5A’s for the job. Drumstick.jpg Yes, although Zildjian Session masters with the nylon tip may be a little kinder on the switch?
