Reading up it appears the Adblue injector can get bunged up with soot and crystallised adblue. This needs to be cleaned out and the codes reset before any parts are replaced. There were also t...

Re: Prospective new owner (well the wife is anyway)

Do you really need a space saver wheel? If you check your tyre Pressures regularly and tread depth when was the last time you had a puncture which stopped you from getting home? Breakdown cover would cover this and more. Car should come with tyre sealant and pump. How out is only likely if tyres und...

Re: Well I’m disappointed

Sounds like the car industry or vauxhall or the dealer are taking you for a ride. The small print on the contract of sale should hold some clues. If you ordered a leather coat from a shop and when it arrived they say the manufacturer decided to switch to pvc you are not going to accept it. If you or...

Re: firmware/satnav updates

I note my post is some what of a repeat of an earlier one but owners will come on to this at different times so may not go far enough back for the answer.

Re: Only a small thing but it's bugging me !

2020 and the problem still exists. Invisible grey on black. Very poor preproduction check. That and the woman who ignores what you say coming up with stupid options. My 58 plate vectra voice control worked a treat plus it had full steering wheel control so no stretching and dabbing at touch screen. ...
