Any advice on if the Grandland should be used to jump start another car or be jump started if needed? I’m sure I got told once that it could mess the electricals up some how.

I was asked to help out , but it was not practical .As I found it difficult to connect the negative simply because of the lack of space ,plus the positive disconnects as you try to give yourself space to connect the clamp,I dont know about messing up the electrics with a bit of luck someone will let us know for certain . I have a diesel ,I have no idea about a petrol

It doesn't work!

I tried jumping my girlfriends Corsa.... Bad idea.

The cars electrics all went very strange. I had to leave it off for 5-10 mins for the CPU to clear, then when it came back on the service light came on and that was that...

I tried again and the same thing happened, without the service light. Safe to say, I wont be doing it again!

I read on page 230/231 of the manual there is an earthing point somewhere in the engine bay, it might be under the engine cover.
