Hello all, just joined this forum after meeting a fellow XC40 owner (and forum member) in a Sainsbury's car park in sunny Northumberland, turns out we are both on holiday up here.
Ordered my FE on Feb 28 and delivery date was forecast as early May. Sure enough it arrived 3rd May. Had to forgo the headlamp washers (420 pound price reduction) but no problem with wheels as I ordered the 19's anyhow.
Love the car but have the frustration of the orange engine emissions warning light on. Had it reset a few days ago but it came back on yesterday. Will get it to the dealer when I get back to Kent (error code is sticking NOx sensor).

Greetings MB40 and welcome. It was good to chat with you the other day in the far north! As you mentioned NOx in your post, I should add that there was some sort of update related to NOx made to my BB when I took it in for its 3 month check a couple of weeks ago. Maybe check that with your dealer once back home?

PS Sounds like you got a bigger £££ reduction than most for your missing HCS!

Welcome to the forum. We were in Northumberland last week and yours was likely one of the BB XC40's that I noticed on the roads. The colourful R-Designs are certainly more noticeable on the roads than my grey Inscription!

Bet my black one will pale into insignificance alongside all the bright coloured ones 😳

I reckon that it will look good! Bet you are looking forward to getting it. Black is one of the few colours I haven't seen on the roads yet.

Hello Kent yep really looking forward to collection tomorrow I had no control over the colour as it was a cancelled order the dealer wasn’t expecting to be built/ supplied so I had to have the colour that had been ordered already otherwise I wouldn’t have got a FE.... so small price to pay, could have got an ex demo but all those I saw had 3k miles and very little saving on new price so guess I’ve been very lucky
