Re: Spare wheel.

Cheers Grandland. I’m with you on not wanting to use the repair kit, and not much good if you have a blow out either. I’ll look at getting one of these. 👍

Re: Spare wheel.

I had to purchase one of these when I bought my Grandland X in 2019. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274064786523?fits=Car+Make%3AVauxhall%7CModel%3AGrandland+X+%2F+Grandland&itmmeta=01HS4C8GMWHMXRADBA8FASM4WR&hash=item3fcf88c45b:g:74AAAOSwdQFdsEJm&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8AUQaI7%2BSanhLK1LVbd2...

Re: Automatic Grandland X Drivers.

I always put mine in park. I don't really know what the difference is between park and neutral (it's my first automatic car). One thing that's annoying with putting it in park, is when the automatic start/stop stops the engine when I stop the car, but the engine then kicking back into into action a...

Mine always starts back up in N too. I...

Re: Automatic Grandland X Drivers.

Yeah. Bug bear of mine and the stop start switching the engine back on. Probably a Friday afternoon thought that part. Interestingly though. Tried tonight leaving it in N, engaging the handbrake, switched the engine off. Got out the car and the dash board told me to also engage the parking brake, wi...
