Re: Hill Start

Update, went to have it checked at Vauxhall. They said nothing showed as an error, but the hill assist/breaking system was recalibrated and it was definitely better but not totally fine. So in frustration and even with losing some money in the exchange I traded it in and bought a BMW X1 instead arou...

Re: What don't you like about your Grandland

Things I don't like Hill assist is terrible. Footbrake or parking brake both have issues. With footbrake on, even on a slight incline and I take my foot off to accelerate and the car rolls back! Yes works fine on a steeper hill. With Parking Brake as soon as you touch the accelerator the brake insta...

Re: Software/Firmware Update

I just tried it on Sport Nav 18 plate says hardware not compatible with this update or similar message. Great.

Re: Does your suspension make any noise going over bumps and potholes?

I don't hear anything odd going over bumps, same model but lower mileage under 11k. Could be something worn in suspension anyway after 18k miles or as Blueyhills says something stuck.

Hill Start

I recently got the Sport Nav (early 2018) and for me using the parking brake on a hill is useless as when you press the accelerator to move off the brake immediately comes off and you roll back! As it's not manual hand brake you...
