DohNut. Do you mean like this?

And here.

Mine's been left on the drive and we've been using the wife's new Ka+. It's been great on softer, narrower tyres with its lower power. Definitely the better choice in this weather.

We went to our local Volvo dealers launch event for the XC40 on Thursday. Very impressed. Fit, finish and quality is right up there and it's different enough, inside and out, from current competitors to make it really stand out. It's also pretty good value for money, with a lot of standard kit...

This evening, mines taking me to my local Volvo dealer for their reveal 'event' for the new XC40.

Option is acoustic side widows and tints from B pillar rearwards. Acoustic windscreen is standard!

I’m with cuke2u on this one. The 2.0 Tfsi with the Dsg box is brilliant. The engine has more than enough power and pull, and the car is probably the most comfortable and refined I’ve driven in my 48 years behind the wheel. Fuel consumption has exceeded all my expectations......a run down to...

@ScottishA4B9. Could be the onset of the cold weather? Plastic gets harder/less grippy, bolts contract slightly? The fact is, mine was fitted with the wrong, marginally looser, covers at the factory. I’m pretty confident now that I won’t lose anymore.........touch wood!
