Deactivation of Sat Nav and Safety cameras

Oddly received an email from Vauxhall saying these services have been deactivated immediately. Went and checked the app which confirmed it and directs you to Vauxhall connect, which shows it is £8.50 a month now. Annoyed because I had another 8 months to run on them.

Anyone else had this.

Re: Leather seats on 1.2 Elite Nav

I use autoglym leather cleaner and the cream, a bit expensive but great results.

Re: Door trims squeaky

I have had the same problem since day 1. I had a look this morning and can see the hex screw and removed but it still stays in place. Is there any other screws to remove or is there a specific way to remove the unit?

Re: New Tyres

Did a bit of research and with rated A for fuel economy and wet weather performance added to the low noise rating, it seemed the better choice. I think the wet weather performance actually shows in the dry as well, as some corners I would know the Bridgestone would struggle and these do not. In the ...

New Tyres

My car has just done 36,000 miles and this the second complete tyre change. I used to have Bridgestone o n them but I changed to Continental Eco Contact 6. On the 19inch alloys. With a discount at Kwik Fit all 4 came in at roughly £570. Night and day difference. Very little road noise and seriously ...

I definetly cannot grumble the customer service has been spot on. Its just the attitude of the hire company.

Re: Wet timing belt disintegrated, new engine required outside warranty

You could not make it up. Vauxhall have a new convoluted way using an app to accept the hire car. Anyhow that is not the point. Whilst doing checks and walk around the car, low and behold the front off side tyre was illegal. Lucky if there was 1mm of tread around the outer circumference. I refused i...

Re: Wet timing belt disintegrated, new engine required outside warranty

Just en route to pick up a courtesy car. It is being repaired under a special warranty as it is outwith its warranty. My view was if it is under warranty then you get a courtesy car. As this is classified as a special warranty then the courtesy car should be available. The customer service and ceo d...
