New Cupholder
Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2021 9:52 am
So the 2021 Grandlands have a new cupholder. Not the "square-ish" one we all have but an actual cup holder (circular holes).
I've got the part number for the new one directly from the bottom of it (someone who has a 21 plate Grandland has sent me a picture of it) however Vauxhall is unable to find that part number.
I already ordered what Vauxhall thought I wanted but turned out to be a cup you put in the holder... That holds 2 pens... Ridiculous invention which wastes space. Luckily I'll be refunded for it.
Spent 45 mins at Vauxhall trying to get the actual holder ordered but no luck at the moment. Searching by reg (mine is 18 plate) it brings a part number for the holder, yet a 21 plate reg brings the exact same result.
The gentleman at the parts department kindly looked at a brand new unregistered Grandland which just got off the lorry and it does in fact have the new style holder but searching by its chassis number, again the same part number shows up, so he is trying to figure out how to order specifically the new one.
I asked if I can be cheeky and remove the new one from the car and pay for it as there's a problem ordering it but they wouldn't let me
I'll post when / if I manage to get this sorted. Hopefully it'll be soon.
