Our V40 D4 R-Design

Well collected the car (pics will follow) and really pleased with it!

One question though....

In the boot when the door is open the floor is not level, there is about a 9cm recess, is this the split load option? The only question is we have nothing to cover this area (ie to make it level when seats are down), should there be a load level or is that the thing you have to buy (to make it level)?

Never had DAB before, never seen the point but how we have missed out! Loving the stations, especially Gold and Smooth 70s, absolute 80s and 90s (getting old!!)

Cheers!

Think the boot floor is an option called 'flexible floor load cover with bag holder' at £100 or near to.

Cheers! If I find 100 burning a hole in my pocket I'll consider it :S

Have ordered winter tyres from Volvo and even managed a greater discount than I was originally offered

16" Matres wheels with Conti TS 850 tyres (+ storage, fitting & cleaning of summer wheels).

Well happy with that!

Pics to come once fitted at the end of the month.

Winter wheels fitted. Got a great deal on 4x 16" Matres wheels including winter storage of the summer wheels. Car is also a bit less "bumby" on the smaller wheels.
