So, my newly purchased 2013 came with ‘extreme’ condensation trapped within both headlight units. Being somewhat cheap and always seeking the easiest remedy to nearly everything, I settled on removing all three round covers in the rear of each unit … one about 70mm and the other two about 30mm. I just left these off for a couple of warm sunny days and overnight. Sure enough, all the condensation is gone (for now). No doubt there’s some kind of water leak/s in each unit … but I’ll sort that later. I did also pull off the ‘rubber’ seals on each cover and rolled them back on themselves … thus putting the compressed surface (after twelve years’ use) in the back and the nice new springy surface now the working seal surface. I also put a light coating of lithium grease on these new surfaces before reinstalling. We’ll see how it goes. Cheers.

Now that the old girl has a new lease of life. I thought i'd give her a clean up and add some stripes to break up that silver a bit. And she has just made another milestone. 240000 miles. Not bad for a 23 year old.

Lee at HALFORDS, Botley, Oxford has done two 522GWs for me … one in a 2007 Ford Fusion last year and one in a 2013 Insignia 5dr/hatchback just today. No problem at all. Great chap - knows his stuff. Don’t know where you are but if anywhere near Oxford Lee’s your man for this project to get it done right.

If there are anymore questions please feel free to ask. Thanks

Mine has folding mirrors. Can be closed manually by putting the mirror adjustment lever l/r to the centre and moving it to the rear. It also closes automatically when the car is locked.

Hello from new member with crossland ultimate 71 reg

Evening all, am I right in thinking that the 1.4t petrol engines are prone to head gasket failure? If so, are there any oreventative measures I can take beyond regular servicing? Thanks very much.

great news and good diagnosis of the real fault - always usually something simple but difficult to find

Wonder if its a simple fault to resolve to get the roof working again? If not then maybe look through fuses or find the chime generator and disconnect that

Hi everyone, I’ve just joined this group and was hoping someone might be able to offer some advice or share any similar experiences. I’ve got a 2019 Vauxhall Crossland X 1.2 petrol (non-turbo) on PCP, which I’ve had for about 16 months. The car has done 30,779 miles. About a month ago, I noticed the car was losing power when trying to accelerate — it felt sluggish and wasn’t responding properly. I took it in for checks, and it turned out there was a misfire on cylinder 2. Upon further inspection, the mechanic found that the tip of the spark plug — the ceramic part — had broken off and fallen into the cylinder. A compression test showed only 67 PSI on cylinder 2, indicating internal engine damage. I’m now facing a potentially huge repair bill, despite the car being relatively new and still under finance. Has anyone else had a similar issue with their Crossland X, particularly with spark plugs or engine misfires? Also, does anyone know if there’s a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) or known issue relating to this? Any advice or shared experience would be really appreciated. I’m currently trying to gather evidence and figure out the best way to approach this with Vauxhall and the finance company. Thanks in advance!
