Re: Primacy 3 Tyres

I have just replaced all four Primacy 3 with the same. Mileage is 19000 and I suspect those are the original tyres, I hadn't noticed but they were pretty bald at the back... Black circles had a special deal on them so 175 a corner all fitted which saved a 100 quid from my usual tyre shop.

Re: Hybrid ambient conditions

I have had the mirror refusing to go out when its very cold so I assume frozen solid. My car runs on pure electric much of the time but also runs as a hybrid/petrol for long journeys and I think that has helped the battery. Range is really low at the moment but ticking up now. In the end I haven't n...

Re: Plugin Hybrid full charge

I'm getting 14 miles ... most electric vehicles have about 40% of max capacity when it gets to freezing. If you think you've got problems be glad you don't have a 100% fully electric car, then you really would be in trouble. I also think that the 14 mile range is actually a bit pessimistic. It could...

Re: Delivery of Grandland Ultimate PHEV

Why would you buy a new Grandland Ultimate with a lesser spec (even before Vauxhall take off all the features) than the earlier model. I mean, the new one has a facelifted front, but the old one isn't too darn ugly and it works just fine. Love my 300hp, 150+mpg, 3D parking camera, adaptive matrix he...

Washer jets in the cold

Anyone know how to defreeze these, they seem to freeze rock solid given even the slightest drop in temperature?!

Re: Front and Rear view camera retrofit

Good job! Just for reference... this is what the factory one looks like, you get a 360 overhead view on the right and the 'normal' view on the left.. you can switch this to a 'conventional' view just looking out the back. I just love this setup, you can see exactly how you're parking, and the system...

Re: 2021 Grandland owner

Hello Chris, good choice. Despite what you read on here, some of us are very happy with our cars. Love my Hybrid4.. it goes like a rocket and sure there are a lot of 'quirks' but if you read this forum before you bought your car, you won't be dissappointed with things like electric range, and how it...

Re: Screen display, top line

Got any pictures to show the problem? Maybe this is a feature that changed version to version and/or it only works with certain media. So.. DAB I think transmits the song name, FM doesn't, not sure about connected media or USB. What are you expecting to see??

Re: Performance chips

Which one are you considering? I can only find TDI tuning for my car.. should take it to 350hp.. but I think I better call them first to check out what it does... https://tdi-tuning.com/en-gb/car/vauxhall/grandland-x/16-turbo-hybrid4-222-bhp-225-ps-165-kw-520-nm-384-lbft-from-2020/crtd4-multi-channe...

Re: Connected service not compatible

My car was similar.. it didn't want to do anything until i put the latest firmware on it.. takes several hours to do that, and then you have to wait a day or so for it to register and start working.
