I am the second owner from new and have just put it into Vaxuhall to have a "whining" noise coming from the engine area investigated. The service center have just been off the phone, the car needs a new gearbox! Those are two words no car owner wants to hear EVER never mind at 23,500 miles! Naturally my first reaction was to go and empty my underwear, but luckily my warranty is still valid until November.
My question is, have any of you other Insignia owners had gearbox issues at such low mileage? Is this a common issue with Insignia's and/or vauxhall's in general! This has me seriously concerned, I am now considering getting rid of the car as soon as they have replaced the gearbox as next time I don't fancy paying for this myself...
Never heard of it at low miles before! You should get 3 year warranty with the new gearbox so you would should still be covered if it goes again!
