Re: oil level after service

I had a recall on my 2008 S80 D5 a few years back . It was managed vis a recall at the next service, when a instruction sticker was applied to the new reduce refill level. No subsequent problems at 200,000miles.

Sunroof will not close.

Has anyone experience of the Sunroof and Blind not closing? As it opened without issue, I suspect it may be an electrical fault, however there seems to be no mechanical override.

Back to the dealer in the morning.

Re: T3 MPG PERFORMANCE

I have just completed my first 2000 miles and have averaged 38mpg. The majority of this has been short trip rural driving. This average has altered very little since day one. Only used in Comfort Mode.

Just getting used to my XC40 Inscription Pro T3 Manual. Changing from a D5 engine with an auto box was no big deal. I do make an occasional shambles when changing down, but that is driver error. I am vey comfortable with the T3 engine. smooth comfortable drive with all the poke I need.

Re: MPG readings in center console and drivers display different?

My eight week old T3 is the same . I understand that it will resolve with a reset, but have yet to try. The variance has been constant form day one.

Re: Greetings from South East London

I picked up my Inscription Pro T3 a month ago . Being used to Adaptive CC on my S80 I added Intellisafe Pro to my new spec. Works well with a manual box. Disengages when you brake so no difference in stop start auto / man. Just re engage . Steering assist ok , but it is just that, not an alternative...
