Hi guys, I'm Jimmy and I'm from Belgium. I got here while wondering across the interwebz
I also am on the Dutch forum, the one where MichelR is from ;-)

I will soon be driving a Volvo V40 D2 Momentum Caspian Blue with black T-Tec interior, with some extra's, such as digital dashboard, Bi-Xenon, High performance audio, RTI,... no leather seats tough.

I got this car as a company car, so I got the most out of my budget

10 years ago, I learnt how to drive in a 1990 Volvo 740 Turbo 16 Valve Estate (200 bhp) that belonged to my father. So one could say I inherited the Volvo-virus from my dad

Welcome to the forums Jimrask. Let us know how you get on with the Bi-Xenon bendy headlights...If you can stay up that late to try them out
And, of course all the guys on here will want to know how frugal the D2 is in the real world, me included.

Hi Jimrask welcome to the forum. I also liked the bendy headlights but chose leather instead... mine is a company car too, company gave me a budget, the money I don't spend they give me in cash so had to be quite ruthless with extras!

When is you're delivery date?

Welcome!

 

[MichelR]

Welkom.. me forum lid.

How long you still have to wait?.
My V40 D2 Summum will be arriving this week at the dealer if all goes well..

Then 1 week for putting on Exterior stylingkit and sharkvin spoiler.. And also the Protech treatment.
So hope to drive it in 2 weeks.

Also got the xenon bending lights and curious how that will be.

 

[Andytech]

Be interesting to hear your opinion of the Protech treatment Michel.
I had it on a Ford Fiesta Zetec S (in Black) and to be honest I still had to wash it just as much.

 

[MichelR]

Got also Protech on my current Passion Red C30 (bought new 2 years ago)
Only thing I have to do is spray it off with high pressure and use sponge to clean once a month.. Depending on dirty roads..

Still very happy with it. No waxing or so on.

I've never bothered with Protech treatment - My 2 kids always do a good job (for a small fee of course)

How's your experience with the Volvo so far? I also got mine as a company car its working great so far.

 

[jimrask]

Hi,
due to a problem with the delivery of the car (long story short: they "forgot" to install quite a few options I ordered in the factory, which could not be installed afterwards (Xenon's,...) so they ordered the car again and gave me a C30 to drive with during the time I had to wait again.) I don't have the car yet.
Normally, if all goes well, I can pick up my car finally this Friday
to compensate me for the longer waiting period, they gave me a huge reduction on a leather interior which I took as well, as it fitted in my budget with this reduction

 

[MichelR]

Hope this time all is good with you're V40.

Counting down the days then..

 

[jimrask]

Counting down for sure! 2 more days!
I will go to pick up the car this Friday at 12h45
