Hi, I have felt a similar thing when coming to roundabouts - I’m advised that it could be the early stages of auto box failure. I also have a jolt when selecting drive when on a slight hill.

I have a 2014 CDTI with about 64k miles. The auto box has just started to jolt as it engages gear particularly if on a hill (up or down hill), but it’s inconsistent. My mechanic suggests it’s starting to fail. Can anyone advise on costs to replace with either a new or reconditioned unit. thanks Ferg

Hi, I live in Grimsby & I am looking for someone to swap a near side rear door. I have bought a replacement that has everything on it, so all it needs is fitting & sorting the central locking. Can anyone on here do this? If so any idea on cost. Happy to travel around 50 miles from Grimsby.

I've fitted new battery today, and it's made no difference unfortunately. I have disconnected it for now as the electric fan kicked in and wouldn't shut off until the battery was unhooked. I'm hoping that maybe overnight the electrics will discharge and when I reconnect the battery there will be an improvement. I have been told that there could be a fault in the cluster itself. So I might remove that and check it out.

I did a reset on the bsi unit , radio is set to uk now , have middle interior light on , when you start to undo the door connector it’s dash board lights up , air con lights up even though ignition is off , even turning on makes no difference, found earth post on inner sill at front both sides , have connected to earth as well just in case , now got another ignition and fuse box cheap , have noticed battery earth has various earths , I put power to electric mirrors and both work but doesn’t like it when I try to put windows up , all black wires in door but connection is coloured lol .

Hi all, 1st time on site, just need some advice please. Thinking of getting an insignia, possibly the 1.6 ecoflex, I'm 64 now, I don't want performance, I want economy , but MORE importantly comfort, ie, no 18 or 19 inch wheels, 16 inch give a better ride, can ANYONE recommend a car, my budget is 5k , I would like a car with the intelligent headlights, but understand these matrix headlights are not as good as the Audi, VW, BMW equivalents ? Is the refinement on the insignia as good as an equivalent age Mondeo, or is the insignia cabin a quieter place ? Hopefully someone can give me some advice. Thank you. Jerry

Passenger side , Somehow I eventually got a part number for this right hand drive version.However once they stated that the dashboard was to be removed.Problem NO screws to undo or guidance. Have now given up due to longstanding health problem. Dave

Just wondering if there is a way to improve the reception on the dab radio for a 2019 grandland X as its very poor for picking up national radio stations

I have a 2008 Corsa D automatic that quite frequently gets stuck in park. An engineer at work had a look. Solder on micro switch to left of gear selector looks fine but he thinks the micro switch the wires are attached to there may be at fault. Would anyone know the part number for this so I can order one. The photo shows the part I'm talking about but it is not a photo from my car

1,drivers window switch only works when it wants to, would this be a window motor or switch problem as the passenger switch works fine, 2, keep getting message on screen that he coolant is low to top up took a look at it and it was a little low so topped up and still get he message done a check for leaks no obvious signs of any leaks

Can anyone help me... I've had an environmental disaster in the boot of my Crossland. 2 pints of milk were spilt. I removed the floor covering and the spare wheel and I have washed everything several times but I still have a stale milk smell. I wondered if some milk has gone underneath the back seat but I can't find out how to remove the seat to check.
