Turtle's made a run for it...
Can you believe it!!!!!
Car goes into the dealership first thing in the morning. Popped out tonight for a short journey and, horror of horrors, the turtle's gone into hiding and even the amber engine warning light has gone out. Earlier today I had another round trip to Edinburgh (to collect Mrs A from her overnight stay at the Spire Hospital - hence my frustration at the 'dependability' of my XC60) and the warning light was illuminated the whole way. I am trusting that the fault code(s) will be stored in the car's electronic memory? I hope so. I took a picture of the display last night upon getting home so I will email it to the dealer tonight as proof. Honestly, what is it about rattles, noises and turtles - they all tend to disappear when they know the car is heading into the dealership. It's been the same all through my life. Patience! Arianne

It's the last straw. I've explained how we feel to the dealership. It's not their fault - they're part of the solution not the problem. It's Volvo but the local dealership are the only people actually listening. I hope this week will see the fault rectified one final time. Then I can enjoy about 8mths of ownership before selling it on. And perhaps even a great experience in Norway shortly, followed by the Alps for skiing in December for one last foray. Here's hopin' Arianne

Volvo are probably not interested but your dealership, if they want to keep your business, could be.

As you know, I have already confirmed my order for a 2017 F-Pace with the dealer. I have been very frustrated at the design fault from Volvo with the XC60 but I have been satisfied with the dealers efforts to fix the car and the communication from them. At times I think I have been a bit sharp with the dealer because they are the face of Volvo, although it's not their fault. Compared to other dealerships I have used (Audi, Ford & Vauxhall in recent years) the local Volvo dealer offers a personal and polite service. I don't want to lose my XC60 early for another car. If this latest fix is the solution then I will be happy until the F-Pace comes in March. Let's hope it really does fix the problem and we can enjoy the last eight months or so of ownership trouble free (it'll probably be more like six months because we will sell the car as soon as we're back from our Austrian ski trip in January 2017). Apart from the EGR related issues, the car has been reliable with absolutely no other fault whatsoever (even the weird retina blinding brightness of the TFT display resolved itself earlier). Clearly, my role in the ownership of this car from new has been to identify, test and resolve the EGR problem for someone else! Arianne

If you want to drop it off early there are direct flights from Cologne to Edinburgh ;-)
Only joking, I don't do hatchback or estate designs. My wife finds them useful. She has her car, I have mine.

Car has now been delivered and I have done a quick sprint. She seems fine and driving well. Take care, Arianne

It's the right side for me, I drive a right hooker and it makes no difference to my insurance.
I can't get on with LHD. I'm right handed but can I double de-clutch in a LHD ? Can I heck as like. What is second nature in a RHD car is totally alien on the other side. Thankfully motorbikes are just normal.
