GLX now gone

Hello everyone, My leased Grandland X was returned the other day. I had it from new for nearly 4 and half years. I have decided to move to another brand. I have bought numerous new and a couple of used Vauxhall’s since 1987. Most of these cars have had no or only minor issues, which were easily fixe...

Re: Grandland x elite nav wheel well cover

Hi, I my car the boot floor panel which is flush with trim (brilliant for sliding things in). This panel lifts up and can then be lowered by putting the furthest away from you edge (at the back of rear seat) downwards and then it slots into place lower down, giving you some extra boot space although...

Re: Stop / Start issues

Having purchased a vehicle with stop / start, I expect the feature which I’ve paid for, to work as expected. When it works it can be turned off. I have no confidence in the future of electric vehicles by GM/PSA if they can’t resolve a stop/start issue in current vehicles.

I’ve have read about the new Kuga, but they seem to have come clean with customers. Interesting that other ford models have issues. My partner had a focus 1.0 ecoboost for 3 years from new (2017 to 2020] and the stop / start never missed a beat. Perhaps I need to stop looking at new cars and search ...

Re: Stop / Start issues

I suspect a lot of people have given up rather than the issue having been resolved. This is the second vehicle of mine in succession that has had stop start issues. I seem to be continually at the dealership, but never seem to get anywhere. Last visit they charged battery again. Since then it has wo...

Re: Right turn indicator

Hi, There is an older topic titled “ "Ding" noise whilst driving” on this too. This still happens to me, but strangely enough predominantly the left hand indicator. Had dealer look at when it was in August 2020. They told me “found codes B1167 and B117C. Found DACT4739. Vauxhall working on...
