Re: Differences - 71 plate B4 c/w 25 plate B3?

The wireless charging can be disabled in the centre screen. My iPhone gets really hot on the wireless pad so i have disabled it. The AAOS system is so good that I have found no need for CarPlay. I know some will disagree but thats my view. Thank you. I’m beginning to think the learning curve might ...

Re: Volvo Car Insurance

Never worked for me. The option is still there but I always get a "we couldn't find your insurance" message

Re: Will you replace your XC40 with another one or something else?

Farewell and good luck with your new car, perhaps see you on Briskoda? I love the look of big estates and have owned quite a few but having had three SUVs now they look very long for parking! Cheers. Our XC40 replaced an early nineties Mercedes E-Class estate. It had no parking sensors or aids of a...

Re: Crystal white paintwork

Ours, denim blue, has a slight difference that is noticeable in certain lights. Especially under some street lamps. It's nothing like as obvious as yours though. I understand that this is quite a common issue across all makes and is due to the way the metallic particles in the paint adhere to plasti...

Re: CrossClimate 2's

When ordering I asked Volvo for all season tyres to be fitted from the factory. Their response " But we dont know if they are ok for an EV" or words to that effect. I then pointed out that in mainland Europe they are supplied as standard fitment on the EV. Volvo would not entertain fitting...

Re: CrossClimate 2's

Ours has Pirelli P Zero EV Vol fitted from new. So far done 25,000 miles and still around 5mm tread left. Ride seems fine considering it's on 20inch wheels. Not noticed any excessive suspension noise but did expect it to be a bit more obvious as there is no "engine" sound to moderate it.

Re: P8 Twin Motor "dead"

No idea why this has been resurrected but since it has I will complete the story. Several weeks ago the 12v battery was again flat. Just before the three year warranty expired. Volvo on call guy"s computer said battery faulty and needed changing. Would you believe it but 12v battery was on back...

Re: Newbie - charger + supplier - your thoughts please

We are on EON Next Drive. Its slightly less expensive then Octopus for the night rate but more in the day time. The night rate lasts for 7 hours rather than 5 on Octopus Go which might be helpful if you need a bigger top up. Our wallbox is an Andersen A2 and has worked impeccably for the past 3years...

Re: Destination summary in drivers display

Yeah, that info is now only available on the centre display, after last update. Personally not a massive issue, but would be nice to get it back in driver display, hopefully after next update That said, am sure it appeared ‘out of the blue’, and did not link to a software update, or am I losing the...
