Rear windscreen heater interferes with DAB radio

One for the new autumn season, when I switch my rear windscreen heater on, the radio cuts out completely. Turn it off and the radio comes back on. When I turn the heater on I can hear a click coming from the glove compartment (like a relay switch). Anyway, it’s no big deal. My lease is up in a week!...

How many miles do you get out of the Hybrid in full electric mode?

Got my Grandland X Hybrid4 back after it had been in the garage for a couple of weeks following its 12 month service and recall/fixes (which caused a fault which they still haven't fixed). Anyway, when I got it back and put it on a full charge it only had an electric range of 14 miles which is the l...

Re: Grandland x Hybrid 2020 Recalls

They had mine for 2 weeks and were unable to clear the fault (collision detection faulty). They said they were waiting for Vauxhall technical support to help them as the wiring diagram they had did not match what was in the car (same excuse every time I called) but after 2 weeks in a Corsa courtesy ...

Re: Grandland x Hybrid 2020 Recalls

Did they sort it? Mine went in for its first service, they also applied the 4 recalls but when I got it back the radar / collision detection system came up as faulty with a light on the dashboard. Went back in the following week and they have now had it for over a week. Sounds like they don't know h...

Re: How to drive in pure electric mode?

So yesterday, full electric mode came back on without warning whilst I was driving after going awol for the last month. Don't know what I did to get it back. Seems to be very random!

Re: How to drive in pure electric mode?

Ok, so after having this issue for the first month or so of ownership, then having full electric mode all of the time for the last 3 months, the last couple of weeks electric mode has not been selectable again. I've charged the ICE/starter motor battery, but no joy. Was also getting only around 18 m...

Re: My Vauxhall App - Issue

Mine has never worked with tracking mileage, although the car location and climate control works.

Re: How to drive in pure electric mode?

We have the same issue with our Hybrid4. For the last few days it hasn't gone into electric only mode at all, and if selected manually it just goes back to hybrid. The battery is showing 90% charged (that seems to be the max in cold weather). Has anyone come up with a definitive answer? I tried hol...

Re: Playing music from USB (not all songs appearing)

9,725 files. I can see most, if not all, of the filenames are cut to a specific length when they are too long, and there is nothing including the path that exceeds 256 characters. Not even "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict".

Playing music from USB (not all songs appearing)

I am struggling to get the entertainment system read all of the music off my usb stick. It is a 64GB Sandisk mini-stick full of music, but it stops reading when it gets to the O's. Originally it went up to the P's but I removed it, formatted it and then copied all the music back but for some reason ...
