Emergency braking.

Yesterday on the M8 in Glasgow I had to do an emergency brake from 60Mph to zero ,as someone had broken down unseen on a bend.

Re: Engine warning lights

So the dealer put it on the computer and it showed 25 fault codes all relating to voltage. Speaking with the manager he is raising it with Vauxhall over the battery as their is an issue.

Re: Stop / Start issues

Even with the cooling seats on full blast the blower on full with AC and rear demister on it works. However take the temp to low it stops or put the heated screen on it it doesn't work. That must be a hell of a power muncher.

Re: "Ding" noise whilst driving

It is definitely a voltage drop,but it does not stay registered when you switch off as it resets. If it happens go straight to the dealer and don't switch off.
