Just to introduce myself. Ordered an XC 40 B3 dark in Vapour grey on 14th August. Hoping for delivery before 20th November.
This to replace my 8 year old V40.
Ordered a skinny spare tyre. Not sure if it will come with tools but hope so.
Excited but trying to forget about it so dont get disappointed if delivery is delayed 🤔

Hello and welcome.

I don't think you need to worry too much about delivery times now, much quicker than they used to be and I thought were less than you've indicated.

You should have had an email from Volvo by now which has a link to show progress. Failing that start a Chat via the web-site and they should be able to provide the scheduled build week.

I ordered a spare wheel for my new XC40 B3 (delivered last week). It does come with a jack and wheel brace. My dealer left the original boot liner in the rear of the car, together with the compressor and "gunk", as I had paid for them so they were mine to keep - they're now clogging up the garage!
Cheers,
Ron

Your tempra space saver should include the tools, mine did. A good alternative to using an inflation kit.

I have the Space Saver wheel, yes it has the necessary tools included, but also carry a can of Holts Tyre Weld. Nice to have the option and it's cheap.
