between 1,100kg and 1,400kg
Vauxhall Grandland X
The one potential fly in the ointment is the maximum towing limit of the Grandland X; depending on the model, you can expect an upper limit of between 1,100kg and 1,400kg.
I would advise removing the auxiliary drivebelt to see if this is a fault with the crankshaft pulley, if no difference then you will need to dig deeper
It is the fan control resistor pack....the resistors between the lower speeds have failed and therefore no resistance to the motor on speed 4 so runs flat out
Replace the resistor pack and that will sort it
is the handbrake slack as in does the lever have lots of freeplay in it before it takes up on the cable?
sometimes if the cable is too slack the lever 'bounces' enough to put the light on
adjust the cable and this will cure it
you could try eBay for replacements. I have seen some on there before so would imagine they are still available

eBay is sometimes best place to value the car by setting a high reserve price and seeing how the high the bids get to, you can always withdraw it from sale if the bids aren't high enough
I guess ebay is probably the best place to source most parts for the Vectra

What temperature is displayed on the instrument panel?
generally, the thermo-syphon effect within the cooling system means that the top will be hot and bottom will be cold and the coolant circulates (with the assistance of a water pump) within the engine and ancillary items such as the heater.
Therefore the bottom hose should be a lot cooler than the top one.
If you measure with an infrared temperature gun, the temperature should fluctuate (without any sharp dips or peaks) throughout the engine.
Its a turbo coolant pipe
There are a few listed on ebay

Not sure of the exact part number you require but I can recommend FAI as a first class gasket manufacturer as have used them extensively as a preferred company in the past.
Elastomer is the compound that is pretty much a silicon bead used to seal the various components on the head and block.
Apart from resting your foot against the clutch pedal then possibly it is sensing some slippage through the clutch (in fact loss of wheel traction) which may be interpreted as clutch slip?
It could still be the battery supply which could dip and then the battery recovers by the time you have measured the voltage (e.g. warmer air temperature) so I would run a deep discharge test (measure the volts with the engine off and the lights on - should be around 10.8v to 11.5v minimum).
Otherwise, could be water ingress in the electrics so if there are any leaks internally I would start there
