Re: Interior Coloured LED Lights

Finally sorted out the mood lighting. My advice to any new owners is not to bother. It's not a disco effect, more a funeral parlour.

Re: Interior Coloured LED Lights

Hi all, We took delivery of our T5 xc40 on Tuesday, have to say we absolutely love it so far having ordered without ever seeing or driving one. We are slowly getting to grips with all the options and settings and creating profiles etc. I’ve noticed that the interior lights (footwell, door panels et...

Re: Insurance quotes

This will be a "how long is a piece of string" thread but looking like the £220 to 250 level (depending on the "extras") LV and esure looking like initial strong candidates on first high level run. I'm months away from looking properly as have just transferred over existing insu...

Re: New XC40 First Editon arrived today!

Hi and welcome. My story seems very different from the majority on here. Wife kept wanting me to get a new car to replace 8 year old C class Merc. Narrowed choice of replacement to a Land Rover Disco Sport, Peugeot 3008 or XC40. Found a cancelled order D3 about 15 miles away on 26/9, and drove away ...

Running In.

I've always been very gentle with my new cars, but understand that 'running in' is not necessary these days. Now 500 miles on the clock, so will gradually use more revs. Am I alone?

Re: Windscreen chips

Funnily enough, I got one on my week old XC40, with about 300 miles on the clock. Phoned my insurance company this morning around 11, they transferred me to Autoglass, he arrived at 2.10 and was gone 30 minutes later. £10 excess paid, and very happy with the job. Wonder why they seem to attract the ...

Re: What car are you changing from?

I've changed from a C class Merc. Wanted something to carry fishing and drum kits.

Intro.

Hi, Firstly a big thank you to Rob Smith who told me how to register, as apparently my Boxa.net forum user name (for Porsche Boxster owners) is spam. Wanted to replace my C class Merc with something that would take my Fishing and Drum Kit with ease. Found a cancelled order Grey D3 auto with panorami...
