What do you HATE about your X40?

[Grumpywurzel]

Not sure if this has been done before...

But what if anything drives you nuts about your car?

My personal hate at the moment for some reason, is the position of the electric windows switches but more specifically the one on the door itself Either I have long arms or the designer was a midget !!!!

Honestly nothing I find our 1.9d brilliant

Head gasket lol

The fact nothing is pre-wired like it should be lol. (Soon to chance that though)

I don't hate the car as such as my 1.9D has behaved impeccably - I do hate the fact that I didn't buy a car which had already had the clutch and timing belt done, and one with cruise control - the clutch and timing belt are probably what will send my current car to the scrappies, which will be a crap end for what has been an excellent and reliable family motor.

I hate how easy it is to mist up the windscreen. I'm constantly turning the air con on and off and on and off just to keep the windscreen clear in the colder months.

I know this next one is the same on all saloons but I can't stand not having a rear wiper. Having to wipe the rear window down just to reverse round my own drive is really irritating.

Heated seats - Lovely for the first 5 minutes then they seem to stop for the rest of the journey and do nothing - that annoys me. Other than that nothing, I've done a few little things to mine to get it exactly how I want it but overall, not a bad car at all

Lack of a Haynes manual for the diesels and the fact the rear screen tends to get dirty, in combination with the more normal poor view when reversing. Vadis with a good laptop, a spoiler and a rear view camera would help.

A garage, rain X on the rear screen and fur seat covers might help. Heated seats sometimes have a timer.

My old Renault 19 suffered from rear door leaks and damp carpets, so I did resort to dehumidifying bags that you dry in the micowave or oven.

Couldn't agree more!!

I was just thinking the same thing about the misting on the front screen! So it's not only you!

As for the wiper and heated seats my feelings are exactly the same!
