Re: Stop / Start issues

I have given up with this s/s issue. My local dealership dont seem to be interested and the same with Vauxhall.

I waited until the vehicle had passed its second birthday and then joined the Vauxhall Service Club, which entitled me to a discount on service costs. My first service was £162 which included £1 for screen wash. Ive jus...
