Hi all.

I’ve just recently bought a Crossland X 1.2 Elite (petrol), without an owner’s manual. Can anyone please advise me of the correct engine oil? I’ve had a look online but I’m getting different suggestions. Thanks in advance. Jimmy.

Hi all, further to my last enquiry still no luck with the tailgate opening as I replaced the tailgate switch but still no luck there is power to the number plate lights but nothing else I even replaced the boot mechanism but that didn't solve the issue so I took it to a local garage who said it could be a wiring problem but they couldn't fix it as they couldn't find a wiring diagram so where do I go next so I was wondering if anyone one on this forum know where I could find a wiring diagram as I've looked but can't find one so here's hoping someone can help

Tyre warning has come on saying to service tyre pressure monitor, display shows one wheel with no reading. 2016 Mokka. Any help on if I can reset this myself by using menu etc. Thank you. Martin.

This was one of the last Omegas to be made and has the highest spec of the range. Vauxhall threw everything at it: full leather upholstery, full electric kit including heated seats front and rear, electricly adjustable front seats, Bose sound system, sunroof, 5 alloy wheels, towbar, etc. etc. The bodywork is showing its age, parts are hard to find and, for me, it's uneconomical to keep it as my only vehicle. I'd prefer to see it broken for parts rather then crushed so if you're interested please get in touch. It has an MoT until December '25 so you could come to Sheffield and drive it away! I'm open to offers above scrap value. Richard

Currently on a retention certificate, I'm offering this superb Vauxhall-specific number plate - N11 VXL - for sale. Price is £499, no offers please. Cheers, Eric

I have a 52 plate Omega Elite with every extra Vauxhall had including a Bose sound system, 5 alloy wheels and a sunroof. It's a runner and has an MoT until December but I'm looking to sell/break it. I have no idea how these forums work and I'm not really interested in engaging in it, I just thought someone might need some spares. It's off to be crushed if no-one's interested.

Hi All, Has anyone had trouble with there central locking button on the drivers door. Mines has stopped working and the drivers door doesn't always lock. All other doors lock as they should and passenger internal button works fine. Thanks Allan

You may have found the cause by now, but if you have the Air-Con switched on, I'm fairly sure the Fan will run continuously.

Car is still Fault-Light-free, thankfully. Was half-expecting the Stabilitrak one to re-appear, but so far so good. Next short chapter. Car has been making Wheel Bearing noises for a few weeks. Didn't seem too bad, so I told my Daughter to just keep an Eye (Ear) on it and let me know if it got any worse. I'd only ever driven it round the Block since it started doing it, never going above 35-40-ish, but after doing the MOT the other day I drove it back to Her house. On the Motorway it was really loud, but I couldn't pinpoint it. Definitely from the front, but sounded central to me. Doesn't get worse when cornering hard, definitely speed-related in severity. Just about noticeable from 35mph or so, steadily increasing in volume as speed rises. It's worst at around 50mph. There is a distinct 'pulsing' to the sound, like a "VUR-VUR-VUR-VUR", along with a constant background 'Howl'. At 40-45mph, the pulses come at approx 5-6 per-second. By the time you hit 55-60, the pulsing blends in with the background howl, quite noisy. Had the Wheels off a couple of days ago, Hubs feel fine when spun by hand, zero play in either. When I was on the left side, I noticed the area around the Gearbox Oil Level Plug was wet with Oil. I think it's probably been leaking for a while. Removed the Plug, quite a bit of Debris on the Magnet. Was all 'Fines', about the size of a large Pea. Dropped the Gearbox Sump Plate, got approx 900ml out, so fairly low (1.6ltr normal capacity?). Cleaned the Plate, refitted, filled with 1.6Litres of 75W90 Fully Synth. It's definitely running a bit quieter now, only took it round the block, 45-50 tops. Asked my Daughter to see what it's like at 60+ on her way home.

Hello. I run my 68 plate grandland 1.6 diesel on a 130 mile round trip to work and back every week day. Yesterday I noticed this noise ( see link ) when I stopped for some dinner, it was making it in neutral and when I edged forward in first gear. Today, I took the car 20 miles, at first it wasn't making the noise but by the end of the journey it had appeared again Has anyone had something similar Noise can be heard here

Hi all, we have a 22 plate Crossland and due our first MOT this week. (Bought brand new from dealership and all services completed as per service plan back at the same place). We've been noticing a clicking sound when the engine is running and told by a friendly chap in a petrol station recently it sounds like a timing belt issue... Called Vauxhall to book the MOT and mentioned this along with an engine management light that has come on twice recently (doesn't stay on) .....and now here I am reading this thread so sounds like it's a known issue? Any advice before I venture down to them on Friday?
