      Morning suddenly the boot cylinder that opens and closes the boot is juddering, noisy, leaking like and old shock absorber, misted, damp & greasy.

      Still works it’s a 5 yr extended XC40, goes back  Nov 25..

      Must it be reported or just carry on till hand back time…

      Thx

          When I saw the title,  I  thought you was talking about my Land Rover.

            Not sure what you mean by “reported” – why not just have it fixed? It’s a 30-60 minute appointment, i’d very much rather do that then potentially getting a knock on the (already shrunk) good condition payment.

              I don’t now what I was thinking, but it was certainly not a Land Rover!

              get it fixed man, unless of course the part is on never ending backorder, then get KrapFit to fix it!

                Strange gone out this morning to drop the wife to the office, noise and juddering seems to have stopped, think I’ll just wipe it over, must’ve been the heat of the sun causing some sort of swelling, possible leakage..🙄

                  @ajn, this is a known fault on the XC40. I’ve heard of a number of repairs which have been done under warranty.

                  As yours is now too old for that, just get it booked in as Kezo says.

                    @72 dudes looking like I’ll have to get it looked at, weird though seems to happen when the suns strong and it’s very warm 🤔..

                    Yesterday overcast/rain cool nothing, today sunny and hot the problem is noticeable again 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏽

                    Is there a charge in this or is all done through the scheme at Volvo etc, Thanks for the replies

                      It’ll be covered by Motability 🙂

                      Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
