Not specifically those but in the early days of the XC9 there was a supply issue with the Linear Walnut trim. Apparently there was one small supplier somewhere in Sweden who simply couldn't ramp up production to satisfy demand. After about a year Linear Walnut was removed entirely as an option on Momentums (and also removed as a dealer-fit option although I managed to get them just before they became unavailable) but remained available on Inscriptions.

I probably have one of the few Momentums with Walnut which together with the Blond leather raises the cabin to higher level (in my opinion). The difference is especially noticeable on the doors. Pics show a comparison of my first car with the standard inlays and the replacement car with Walnut.

Hmm.... I'd be happy enough with the linear lime if the driftwood is unavailable but not sure about the mesh with blonde interior. Which dealer in B/Ham have you heard this from ? I'm from down South but ordered from dealer up there

I'd tell the dealer that if you cant get the spec you ordered you dont want the car, or not until they can supply it as required, then see what he comes up with, you wont be happy with the mesh.

Just popped into my dealer to have a look at the new XC40 and was told that PCH and PCP quotes will be available for MY19 XC60 from the 2nd March. Here's hoping, as that's only a week away :0)

I'm nipping in to sort mine out too this afternoon so will hopefully get the same consistent message (although likely still cancelling and going with the other dealers MY18.5)

Good luck. I'm going to hold out for a few weeks....and although the XC40 was much better in the flesh, it is slightly too small for my needs.

Thanks. I've now confirmed with another dealer that they can get me one for 24th April - told them I'll confirm by tomorrow morning. I need the dates to work you see as I'm changing jobs on 23rd April and handing my cc back. So this works. I was prepared to wait before but not at an increased cost that I don't currently know what it is

The 40 is tempting me a tad with the FE being available. Only for me and the mrs so easy big enough for me but do prefer the 60 looks. Its the FE spec that's winning me over - but saying that not sure I want 'everything' to then have to drop things come replacement time due to ££!

But going to have a good look at it later.

.....the new MY19 XC60 T8 now has an increase in Fuel Tank capacity from 50 upto 70 litres. I thought this was a typo but Volvo UK have double checked and confirmed is correct with a new designed tank going to be used for MY19
