I know that the SIM goes somewhere in the boot by the offside wheel but I can't find it. Someone said under the carpet but there is no carpet on the floor, just a removeable panel. Can anyone explain in terms that even an idiot would understand, please?

Which car do you have, I think it differs slightly between the S/V and XC.

Thanks, yes it's an XC90. I tried to find it in the manual but failed. I'll have another look in the boot.

Lift both covers up in the load area to expose the spare wheel, the sim holder is to the right of the spare wheel, a small black box with a pull out sim holder, note which way round the sim holder is to make it easier to replace then pull the sim holder straight up from the black box, it is easy to dislodge the box from its fixing while doing this but it just hooks back in position. Slip the sim card in the holder and push it back in the black box.

Found it, thanks. I don't know why they made it so difficult to find.

Where do you suggest - perhaps on the steering wheel boss?

I see, so when you said "I don't know why they made it so difficult to find" what you actually meant was "cor blimey, I made it quite difficult to find, what with all these extra things I put on top of it"
