Re: How many miles do you get out of the Hybrid in full electric mode?

I've had my grandland hybrid for about 2 months. I charge it using a 3 pin plug at home or at work. The first 4 or 5 charges it showed 34 miles range. The last 6 or 7 charges it is only giving me 18 miles. The car is 2 years old. I have it booked in to be looked at because apparently there is a rec...

Re: Unable to update after download

Well, I did the nav update first and then it didn't like the map. I still have the map to do, just waiting to do a long drive to put it in...

Re: Unable to update after download

The Grandland seems to be quite sensitive to USB sticks. I had similar issues and it ended up that the only one that worked from both the PC and car end was a 64GB Sandisk Ultra Flair, I bought mine from Argos for 15 quid to try and make sure I didn't get a fake (there are a lot out there).

Re: How many miles do you get out of the Hybrid in full electric mode?

At 21 miles earlier this week. Now at 22 with the warm spell! @huffy if you can find that chart it would be very handy to see. Looking forward to 40 in the summer! I am pretty sure the car calculates range based on driving style, and usually garages rag the car. Friend of mine's son had a GPS tracke...

Re: Hybrid dropping out of "Ready"

Hope you got it fixed. I've never experienced this one yet, but maybe because I'm not generally sitting around with the ignition on, stationary. Seems not unreasonable for the car to decide that you're not going anywhere and stand down because its getting bored (technical explanation there... LOL) b...

Re: Front and Rear view camera retrofit

Exciting stuff. I have to say that I did have to get the Ultimate Nav because the 360 camera in the car is just brilliant. You can position the car super accurately in just about any parking spot. The only thing I don't like about it is you don't get the same effect going forwards as well as back, b...

Re: Hi All, Grandland 1.6 Hybrid Business Ed Nav 5dr Auto

Hi Ian, welcome.. Very sensible to get the Business Ed. Saves you a fortune in tax (well 1600 quid) I assume its the 225 hp front wheel drive only version? I drove one and it goes well but I had unfortunately driven the 300hp one first so it felt a bit puny ;-) The more hybrid drivers on this forum ...

Re: Recent Vauxhall Update failure

It took forever, and I still haven't got the map updates into the car, but I found that I needed to run the Vauxhall Update software on a windows 10 vanilla laptop, not any of my other boxes. Luckily I got the sat nav software updated to the latest version then it failed on the map. It seemed that y...
