So that is what we've been aware of for some time that it is down to the battery they fit. Surely it's time Vauxhall came clean on this.

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 that some vehicles may be fitted with inadequate batteries.
My s/s has actually worked twice over the past several weeks,....... most strange, very random.

Lock-N, could the battery type be an EFB as I can't find an EFD type, quite happy to be wrong on this?

Contacted Vauxhall customer services this morning regarding stop/start problems and constantly going into ECO mode each time any of the doors are left open for a couple of minutes. I also advised them that the car had gone into the dealers in late July over this problem and that I was told I was not driving the car enough. I told them that the service department said I needed to do 20 miles each time I went out. When I said I'd come back from my holiday in which I'd driven nearly 1000 miles including two non stop runs of 200 miles the garage said that would not be enough to regenerate the battery. Whilst on the phone to them the customer services contacted my dealer's service department and came back with all the things that will stop the s/s working. But I reiterated that it's also going into ECO mode. I added that my dash cam fitted by the dealer has a parking mode which I've had to stop as when I switch the ignition of it states low voltage and shutting down. I've now got a case number and have booked car into the dealer next Thursday and then customer services will call back. All comments I made about the battery types just seemed to be ignored. I will report back after Thursday. Not very hopeful though of the outcome.

Tell them you site and listen to the radio and after a few mins goes to Eco mode also say should not have to have engine running just to listen to the radio and when you next phone Vauxhall ask to have your complaint raised to speak to a manager I did it this way and as soon as manager was involved fixed in 3 days Exultant result
