Re: Roof bar question

Thanks GRANDLANDX68. I'm confident that it's safe with a light load, can really rock the car with the bars.

Re: Roof bar question

Thanks Millsy, that's pretty much what I thought. I'd actually used the Insignia bars on an Astra Tourer with no problems previously.

Roof bar question

I have a set of roof bars from an Insignia I used to own. I have fitted them to my 2021 Grandland X 1.2 with a normal roof (no bars or points) and they seem secure. The roof box will only have a soft dog bed and some pillows in it. I've really yanked the bars hard and they stay put. Does anyone thin...

Re: Would you Buy a Grandland again

Ours is a 1.2 on Motability, for my wife. We only took delivery in December having had an Astra Tourer 1.4 previously and I prefer the Grandland for it's higher view although the rear window is a bit small. Would probably consider another one if they haven't mucked around with the specs too much. Bu...

Re: Tyre PSI

Always have mine at 39psi on my 1.2 Business Edition Nav. It improves rolling resistance and should make a tiny improvement to fuel consumption. Ride is not too hard for me or my wife (both disabled and feel the potholes!).

Re: Wind deflectors

Finally fitted a set of Heko ones this morning. No real problems although the clips were a bit awkward with my hand tremor. Have noticed wind noise seems a bit louder with about 3cm of window open. At least they will stop the rain dripping in.

Re: Misting problems

Thank you for all of your replies. The problem seems to be sorted now. It's a Motability car and it was delivered to the dealer on the last day before the pre-Christmas lockdown. The dealer couldn't get it ready in time so we had to wait until 9th Dec to pick it up. My wife noticed that the left rea...

Re: Wind deflectors

Will do, I'm disabled and not very good with my hands so hoping my son will assist within a few days.

Re: Misting problems

Hi GrandlandX68, The side windows seem to clear quickly. I use the front windscreen button and turn the fan to high. I also set the recycle button to shut off outside air. The problem is the same without using the recycle button. I'll get it into the dealer as soon as it's possible and let them have...

Misting problems

My new 1.2 Business Nav is misting up badly. The windscreen has strange areas in the bottom corners that never seem to clear and the rear screen never seems to completely clear leaving horizontal bands of mist and the occasional spots of water. The car hasn't got wet inside as far as I know. Please ...
