Re: Hybrid Range

Hi, My 2023/06 plugin hybrid GS Line range is 36 miles in summer. If you don't drive it in sports mode and you don't consider yourself as heavy footed then something must be bad with your batteries. I read that many companies bought plug-in hybrid cars for their fleet. Their staff never charged the ...

Re: MyVauxhall App Issues

It's still a rubbish app. It looks every time a same result. Today before I left I connected my android phone to the car via cable and android auto. Then I started the myVauxhall app. All looks good app sees my car. It says it's connected. 1 hour later I arrive to my destination. Switch off the car ...

Also I had some old informations that PHEV, hybrid and EV cars are not really suitable for towing. But now I found a cheap light weight caravan. I called Vauxhall but ...

Re: Petrol range rage

I have exactly the same issue with my ST PHEV GS line. This cold weather the battery range went down from 37 miles to 24. If I drive the car in pure hybrid mode with 0% battery then the mpg goes ridiculously low. Like 30-35 mpg. It is so frustrating that after display says 0% the. I don't know the e...

Re: Weekend Driving Routes

This is sounds great. I'm jealous that we have that much time to drive around yet. But I look forward to see your recommendations and trip reviews. Also it would be nice to hear about Vauxhall how does it cope with hills and valleys. If you have a Plug-in hybrid then I would like to know did you abl...

Infotainment screen always on

Hi, All my cars in the past had a feature to switch of the big screen on the middle when you don't use it. I found it that that extra light is for me is quite disturbing during I drive in the night. I could not figure it out how to switch off the screen when you don't need it. Anybody found some sol...
