Re: What don't you like about your Grandland

After owning a brand new Peugeot 2008 130 GT Auto for 2 months, I can safely say our Grandland is quieter, smoother and more comfortable than the Peugeot. Build quality is similar and some of the switches and buttons are identical. Manual is much better and more controllable at low speeds than the a...

Re: NEW GRANDLAND ELITE/DELIVERY TIMES..

I think that Stelliantis is restricting supply/building of the Grandland as the leads times are almost comical. The 3008 has much shorter leads times (hybrid is still a longer wait) Then it has been announced an electric replacement for the Grandland is due in 2024, no word if it will be called Gran...

Re: GS line lacking spec compared to 2019 sport nav

As sales figure dwindle and they will, due to how expensive the Grandland is, they will start offering keener finance deals (0% with 30% deposit over 24 months is already offered) I can see spec increasing or another range realignment. As the 3008 is getting a new 48v mild hybrid, that will also en...

Re: Primacy 3 Tyres

Looking at the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2, a little cheaper than the Primacy 3, but still look like a good tyre. Main dealer has just fitted one to front passenger side of our Grandland - best bit was FOC... As they attempted a puncture repair, somehow left the passenger door open and it ...

Re: Incorrect specification still being advertised

The problem is Vauxhall like many other brands have been riding the wave of more orders than they can fulfil. This seems to have lead to an arrogance that they will pay the price for a sales begin to slide. The issue of spec seems to be an ongoing issue our 2021 Elite had missing spec that was stand...

Re: 1.2 Turbo any good?

Hallo I've currently got an 11 plate Meriva 1.4 and it's time to say goodbye and get something a bit newer. Thinking about about a 69 plate Grandland X petrol. My question is, does the 1.2 turbo have a decent amount of pull? The Meriva (non-turbo) always felt a bit flat, especially overtaking, and ...

Re: Automatic brake fault

It does sound like a fault with either a sensor or the actuator then, fingers crossed you get it sorted and is something nice and simple!

Re: Automatic brake fault

I would check battery charge as a first step, especially if no faults have been found. Cold weather and low voltage can sometimes cause erroneous fault messages.
