Re: 12v socket in the boot.

Got the front power socket fuse replaced. I went searching for the rear one at the number 7 position. Odd no fuse!

So I put a 15 amp fuse in to it and still no power to the boot 12v socket. Very odd so I took that fuse back out even although the book says that's the right fuse socket.

Re: 12v socket in the boot.

It's been a wee while since I have posted mainly because the car has been fine. I never got around to doing this but at the weekend my hand was forced. A slow puncture and the front 12v socket packed in. So I followed the instructions on here, taking off the glove box etc etc. It is fairly easy to d...

Re: Roof Blind stuck

Cheers GLX. I had a bit of a brainwave, thinking the blind us like electric windows. So held my finger on the button to close it and it moved a bit more. Continued this till it closed and kept the button for 30 secs down thinking it would reset itself. It did and no issues since.

Roof Blind stuck

Has anybody's panoramic roof blind stuck. Mines is completely open and pressing to close it, it moves a couple of centimetres and doesn't go any further. Any thoughts folks.

Re: Am I dreaming or going Didlo?

No it is a setting in the car to remind you to take a break if you have been driving for a fair time.

This is the battery they refitted some time back and it has not missed a beat with the Stop Start.

Re: Space saver

Hi Lochgilp and Welcome to the forum. You would need to check the Dimensions of the space saver tyre to see if it is the same as a Genuine Grandland one. You can normally pick up a genuine one off Ebay for a good price. Personally I would only get the genuine one as its part of the safety and what ...

Re: Right turn indicator

I had this on mine when I first got it. They replaced the front offside headlamp unit as it was a voltage drop caused by the indicator going on.
