Just wanted to say Hi to everyone, been browsing your forum for a couple of weeks while pondering on ordering an XC40, to replace my Audi Q3 which I will be returning back to Audi in October at the end of the three year PCP.

I ordered an XC40 Inscription D3 Automatic in Pine Grey, Charcoal Leather, with Winter Pack, Front Sensors and Reversing Camera and Tempra spare wheel on Wednesday, dealer has given me an estimated delivery of 12th November 2018.

I had contacted Volvo direct before ordering and they confirmed they are taking orders for the XC40 Inscription D3 Automatic.

Fingers crossed they are correct.

Welcome, Taff.

Excellent choice. It’ll be worth the wait.

No doubt you’ve seen jstuer (?)’s post with the pics of the Pine Grey Inscription. If not, I thoroughly recommend having a browse to appreciate the stunning car you will be getting.

Hi Luigwhattt,

No I had not seen jstuer pictures, it looks amazing in the metal, I think I made a good choice of colour.

Just noticed your post. Welcome to the Pine Grey Inscription club - that makes 3 of us at least now! You seem to have gone for almost the same set of options as me - I'm hoping that I don't regret forgetting to ask for the reversing camera. Hope to get mine on Thursday - will post pics when possible.

Thanks, that's useful to know. It will probably prove more expensive than having it fitted by the factory, but if it's going to avoid damaged bodywork I might still go for it!

(Just looked through the installation instructions - it looks a bit complicated with lots of panels etc to be removed and re-fitted - definitely an expensive retro-fit job!)

We were originally quoted £750 from a Volvo dealer for a retro rear camera fit as opposed to around £350 for a factory order. A little surprised rear cameras are not standard like rear sensors with the large rear pillars.

Ouch! an expensive oversight on my behalf.
