Ken_A. Welcome to my world. Haha. I have been through exactly the same situation as you have regarding speaking to Vauxhall customer service and my dealership. How can Vauxhall sell a vehicle which has to be run for 20 miles per journey......its crazy !!!! I too did four long journeys in the car cov...

Lock-N. Really pleased to hear that your s/s is working as it should. Like Spiro has said, if you could let us know the details of the new battery i can get back on to Vauxhall again and see if they offer me a new upgraded battery. I agree with Ken_A it is time that Vauxhall come clean and admit tha...

Lock-N, i shall be keeping my fingers crossed that your stop/start begins to work correctly bery soon. How lucky are you to actually get the upgraded battery fitted. I await to read your next message letting us all know how your Grandland is perfoming.

Midinotes and all, the answer is a big NO !! I cannot find this annoying rattle. It doesnt happen on the motorway, just over bumps and rougher roads. I have driven around with a person sitting in the back with the rear seats down in the hope they could pinpoint the noise, but to no avail. It seems t...

Hi, i can understand your frustration over this matter Lock-N. i too have been in touch with Vauxhall over the s/start issue, and got absolutely nowhere. I have resigned myself to the fact that it doesnt work as it should and just given up. Friends have other makes of vehicles, and their s/start wor...

Its just sooo frustrating, and Vauxhall dont seem to be interested.
Maybe somebody should bring this issue to the attention of the Bbc Watchdog series. They seem to get to the bottom of these problems.

Hi. I too have the same annoying rattle. It sounds like it comes from the nearside rear. I have checked the boot compartment, spare wheel area etc but just cannot find anything thats loose. I always check the metal clasp on the seatbelt isnt resting on the side panel. The knocking sound is louder wh...

Hi Guys, just been and looked at battery on my Grandland. Its black, says Varta on the top and is L3 EF 12v 70ah 760A (en). Not adequate in my opinion for vehicle, hence s/s never working.

I tried numerous times to get some joy from Vauxhall Customer Service regarding this issue. I sent emails and made phone calls over the course of several months. It got me nowhere, but made me feel very frustrated.. i have no idea how to get an upgraded battery fitted as neither Vauxhall nor my Deal...

Ken, have these Grandland owners purchased these batteries themselves or had them fitted for free. I have spoken to vauxhall customer service many many times over this issue. Its like banging your head on a brick wall. I do think Vauxhall are aware of this issue but are burying their head in the san...
