And it wasn't the first time he'd had the problem!!! That car is effectively worthless as he can't not tell a potential purchaser. Similar problem happened to an MG recently, albeit at lower speed, and had to be brought to a standstill by using a police van as a brake. That along with other things ...

It might be easier to check the owner’s manual for such basic functions: https://www.volvocars.com/uk/support/car/xc40 Well thats what i would do but for some reason the previous owner misplaced said book .. Thanks again for stating the obvious... ;-( You cannot blame the previous owner for misplac...

I use, on a weekly basis if my mileage is low, a battery charger/conditioner as my previous car (BMW X1) would die if I didn't travel enough. So, using the belt and braces routine I use the CTEK MXS 5.0 Battery Charger with Automatic Temperature Compensation, Black. Available on Amazon.

In today's Daily Telegraph is an article, [/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/consumer-affairs/dab-radio-switch-signal-classic-fm/] saying that DAB radio is being phased out in favour of DAB+. Apparently, Classic FM is going over to DAB+ on the 2nd January 2024 so where does that leave our car radios?

If you take a look at one of my posts regarding positioning of a dashcam, scroll down and you will see two photos of my Nextbase 422 installation It was fitted by Nextbase's installation service who were excellent. Apart from the rear cam interference with DAB (removed by Nextbase's installers!) I h...

Yet oddly nobody ever seems to call out what the S40 eventually launched at for not being a true EV platform But yes, Volvo have been quite clear...

Can I ask who fitted it ? Having an issue regarding getting a dashcam fitted to my new XC40 B3 MHEV. Volvo dealers will only fit Volvo approved Roadhawk dashcam - nothing else. Roadhawk DC3 which is the current model is suspended pending the release of the DC4. If I go to anyone else to get a diffe...

Some kind person scratched the bonnet of my XC40 in the first week of ownership. Although it’s 2 years’ old there was hardly a mark on it - and certainly none on the bonnet. Most of the scratches are not deep so I’m going to try coloured Tcut/wax, but could also do with a touch-up stick. Unbelievab...

Have noticed today that no journeys have synced to Driving Journal in the Volvo App on my phone for the last week. Contacted Volvo who have advised " The driving journal feature is currently not available in the UK for the app. This is due to be rolled out in the coming weeks. Once this has be...

That is one of my bugbears too. Just try retrieving anything that drops down underneath the driver's seat! Shoddy design.
