Re: Safety recall Grandland X 2017-18 (Brake assistance)

FYI to Forum. The recall letter I received is attached. My dealer tells me the recall work was undertaken at the last service in December 2022.

Coin box replacement

I had the coin box flap replaced under warranty in February 2020 due to the flap continually dropping down. The problem reoccurred in the last few months but Vauxhall dealer want to charge £100+ to replace as it is out of warranty. Has anyone else had this happen and if so should it be chargeable?

Jump Start disables car

Hi, my first post for a while (previous one related to Cambelt replacement after 34,000 miles). Tried to jump start a friend but my Grandland conked out and would not start.

Re: Grandland X GM Mudflaps

When I bought mine the Vauxhall website said they were 'easy to fit' but the front wheels need to be taken off to fit them so I did not think this was an easy fit. I asked that my local dealer fitted them for me but they wanted to charge which I objected to. I complained to Customer Services at Vaux...

Re: Cam belt replacement after 34,000 miles

Thanks very much for the information. I picked up the car yesterday. The dealer claimed it was in for a free winter check. The timing belt had been changed along with a vacuum pump seal, crankshaft seal, a new oil filter and new engine oil. None of this was recorded on the FOC receipt as it was unde...
