Service schedule? (Corsa F, 2024)
I started my three-year personal lease in February 2025 for an electric Corsa. I was not sure of the service schedule (minor, major etc) so I contacted Vauxhall but I did not understand their response: I feel the response is worded like it was designed for the technicians working on the car or something. I was hoping for something similar to: year 1 you need a minor service, year 2 you need a major service, year 3 you need a minor service. That kind of thing. Is anyone able to please assist?

Disable 'Tip of the Day' pop-ups? (Corsa F, 2024)
Each day I turn the car on, I get these: I cannot find any way to disable them. Can anyone please assist?

How should the Blind Spot Alert function work? (2024 model)
Unable to edit my original post. Turns out turning it off then back on in Settings solved it.

Only two windscreen wiper speeds? (Corsa F, 2024)
My car has automatic windscreen wipers but I found they are untrustworthy, e.g on the motorway when it was pouring with rain, there was spray everywhere and a lorry goes past. Most of the time they would be on maximum speed - but not always, which was dangerous. However, it appears there are only two manual windscreen wiper speeds - slow and fast. That is fine for drizzling and torrential rain but there is nothing in the middle. I have never driven a car with only two manual windscreen wiper speeds before. Seems daft, to me.

How should the Blind Spot Alert function work? (2024 model)
I have a 2024 Vauxhall Corsa with a trim that includes the Blind Spot Alert function. My previous car was a 2022 Peugeot 2008, and the Blind Spot Alert function showed the light on the wing mirror any time a car was in the blind spot, so it happened very often on dual carriageways, on motorways etc (as you would expect). However, I have never once seen the light come on either wing mirror on my Corsa. 'Blind Spot Alert' is enabled in the car's Settings. Just in case it only works whilst actively indicating left or right, I tried that many times on the motorway when a car was near approaching and again, never a light. Any thoughts?

Does anyone recognise this sound? (Corsa F, 2024)
- Deactivating Excessive Speed Warning alert? (2024 model)
The car constantly 'reads' road signs wrong via its flaky camera recognition and thinks a road has a lower limit than it actually does, so the beeping goes off very often. Deactivating the options displays, "Excessive Speed Warning deactivated until next vehicle start." It is possible to deactivate it permanently?- Cycling favourite stations instead of each alphabetically?

- Can regen be turned off on the Corsa Electric (2025)?
My car arrives at the end of Jan 2025. In the meantime, I test drove one last weekend and it appears there is a little regen at all times (and obviously a lot more if you press the B button, which I will not be doing). Is there a way to fully turn off regenerative braking?- How to set up Corsa Electric for going through a car wash?
I have only ever driven ICE cars, and in a car wash, I just set them to Neutral and keep the handbrake off. I will be getting my Corsa Electric at the end of January (10 weeks from now) and decided to have a nosey around the Owner's Guide. I noticed this section: Is it really that complicated, or is the manual just being excessive?- Can the 2024 electric Corsa be remotely cooled / heated?
I just got a call back from a local dealership (Bristol Street Motors in Lichfield) who told me this option is available for all trim levels of the electric Corsa. Excellent.- Can the 2024 electric Corsa be remotely cooled / heated?
I owned a 2019 Ford EcoSport (petrol, automatic) and, via the FordPass app, was able to remotely cool or heat the car for a few minutes before getting in. Unfortunately, my next car, a 2022 Peugeot 2008 (petrol, automatic) did not have this option. I have heard one of the perks of electric cars is the ability to do this. Does the 2024 Vauxhall Corsa have this option? - Deactivating Excessive Speed Warning alert? (2024 model)
