Re: Grandland X Griffin under specification

Hi, When did you order the car? I think ordering a new car around September and October always causes a problem as this is when they change the specifications on the production line. You order a specific model from the current brochure in September and when it comes to delivery months later the spec...

Re: Out go SRI/Elite, In come GS Line/Ultimate

Hi, my experience of this is that you get the current spec that comes of the production line. By the time I got mine the spec had been changed, no electric tail gate, no keyless ignition and tinted rear windows had gone. The only upgrade was part electric and better quality front seats. Others on th...

Re: Stop / Start issues

Grandland X68, if you have the car in for a service get them to check the capacitor on the starter motor to see if it is faulty. It would be good to know if it fixes the problem. It could be that Vauxhall are aware of the fix but don't want a massive bill for new starter motors or am I being cynical.

Re: Stop / Start issues

I should have said capacitor/condenser and my stop start is still working perfectly. I am assuming that this issue has now died down due to the lack of posts or is it that everyone is putting up with the problem, It would be interested to know if the issue has been resolved?

Re: Stop / Start issues

Hi, I reported earlier that I had a new battery fitted and that did not solve the stop start issues but the dealership did find that the condenser in the starter motor was faulty and this can cause the stop start not to work. I have had the new starter motor fitted for some weeks now and the issue s...

Re: Well I’m disappointed

The same happened to me when I bought my Grandland, ordered it in September 2018 and took delivery in January 2019 and when the car arrived the keyless locking, electric tailgate plus a number of cosmetic features had been removed. Like you I ordered from the brochure in the showroom at the time and...

Re: Stop / Start issues

I don't know if this is applicable to the 1.2 petrol engines as I have a 2 litre diesel that has just had it's 2nd service and I told the garage that the stop start had not worked for months even after a 1500 mile trip to the north of Scotland for a funeral. They checked it out and asked for the car...

Finally got it to work, I had not set up bluetooth teathering correctly, once bluetooth sorted the file was picked up straight away. Thanks Dsrogan for your help.

I still cannot get this download to install no matter how many times I have downloaded it, unzipped it with WINRAR I still get the not compatable with my system. I downloaded the latest maps and that installed very easily but the firmware is a no go. Could it be because the infotainment system I hav...
