Re: Android Auto Without Cable

How do you folks charge your phone while using the adapter? At the moment for me, the same wire that connects my phone charges it.

Re: Android Auto Without Cable

Hi - is this purely a bluetooth connection or does the whole normal android auto app and screen connect and start up with it?

Re: Odd starting issue, electric mirrors don't open etc.

Snap - I was about to start a new topic until.....I met you all!

Exactly the same scenario, I press the lights on and the fault vanishes.

Heated seats - upkeep and restoration of cloth?

Hi folks My Grandland was fresh from the original launch time, but facing similar issues to many other cars with the heating pack to the drivers seat. So the cloth black interior keeps going 'white' whenever I use the heated seats around where the elements are. The cause generally I understand is th...

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

Personally I would cut to the chase and call VX customer services direct with your details/complaint Rich. Often they are not aware that the car has changed hands so only the original owner might have received a recall letter.

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

Got my car back today, happy to lose the courtesy car at last and have my own back! So attached is a record of what they did, prices were scrubbed off by the dealer which was fair enough as all paid for under the recall, my car now out of warranty of course. Only driven home so far but... My start/s...

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

I got the recall letter, they have provided a hire car for me now for the three weeks it's taking to get the part and repair it. But VX customer services are pants, definitely. Pleasantly surprised by a good dealer experience.

Give them a call but be sure to put the pressure on and get a case number. Their customer service is appalling wi...
