Am I dreaming or going Didlo?

Has anybody else seen the picture of a hot drink cup lighting up in the instrument panel? There was a short message alongside it but I didn't manage to note what it said. I think it was something about taking a break. I wasn't on a long trip, just a normal local run-around. I've searched the handboo...

Re: What don't you like about your Grandland

Following on from my recent observations on the Fuel remaining readings, I discovered that my warning light came on with an indicated 27 Miles left. Looking at the gauge, the needle still was still slightly up so I reckon that the system is reasonably accurate & I'm a tad reassured now. I also d...

I noticed yesterday that the figure displayed is constantly changing by large quantities while driving even using cruise control on the Motorway. I don't know what to make of this, it seems a tad unreliable or should I believe ...

Re: What don't you like about your Grandland

I really hate the way that the Eco mode comes in & switches off the radio when you are parked up. Having to turn on the ignition costantly to listen gives me a pain. Anyone know if this feature can be disabled? No other major gripes with my Grandland X.

Re: HELP: Eco mode activated

Although my Grandland x is a lovely vehicle, I'm a bit tapped off with this economy mode switching in. My Mrs. came in a while ago saying she couldn't start the car! I went outside & turned the key but nothing happened. Next minute, I don't know how but the engine started. I've always had Vauxha...
