  • Car issues or driver issues

    Ok picked car up today, done about 50 miles so far.

    Impressions so far i love the car but wary on some things. I know im like this, spend money, not sure if done right, have i bought a lemon, will it go wrong, all the usual stuff that goes with spending a lot of money on a new car.

    1. Damn electric handbrake. No issues putting it on, but taking it off, well. Click it off dash says its on, few revs to move away and nothing.
    click button says on again, click button says on again, releases when move. Seems so hit and miss, and what happens when push switch down as opposed to pull it up....just thought is that my issue?

    Also maybe linked, twice i have smelt clutch / brake smell, my drive is on an incline, but both times smell i have has issue with handbrake. And sometimes when putting brake on can hear a motor for what seems like forever.

    2. Reversing. Can you switch off the passenger mirror tilting down when in reverse, i cant see my hedge in the dark, reverse lights so crap, same as Astra was.

    3. Folding wing mirrors. Can operate from remote, got car set to auto, but does nothing. Do they only work on remote?

    4. DAB. Can you not set presets like on FM?

    5. Does the from yellow/orange airbag light never go off on dash, it used to on astrsa.

    6. Headlights seem really bright and high on dipped, main beam just seems to light up another few metres above normal lights.

    7. not really looked much but how to get seat forward, got lumbar, tilt, height ok.

    Other than the above and the fact every panel needs paint correct i love the car.

    Any ideas, me or the car or both?

            Yeah fob works them, just thought auto meant on start / stop of car.

            Light stays on all the time, hmm opposite on astra. So it means front airbags are on

            Lol i hate getting new cars, so stressful.

            Yes LED reverse lights, noticed only single fog light, never looked but are there 2 reverse lights

                Yeah one fog light and two reverse lights.

                It took me a while to get the hang of the e brake. If you want to pull away without releasing it by pressing the button, raise the clutch a little (not quite enough to bite) and give a little rev of the throttle and the brake should release. Don't just try to pull away without doing this because it will drag before it has chance to release. That could be why you're getting that smell.

                  Dab stations should save like fm stations. Once you find a station you want to save to favourites touch and hold one of the number tabs until it saves (I think you here a bleep).

                    Pull button Up for ON and press it down for OFF ... or pull away and it'll release automatically. If you pull it up a second time I believe it holds the rear wheels even tighter?


                    4. DAB. Can you not set presets like on FM?

                    As above, find your station and then press and hold one of the shortcut buttons to store it - you can even do the same with media on a USB to shortcut to it


                    5. Does the from yellow/orange airbag light never go off on dash, it used to on astrsa.

                    One under the radio? Nope, always on

                      When pressing handbrake button down to take it off you have to press the brake pedal as well. I’ve always just done the pull away process though without any issue.

                          Whenever I drive the wife’s Astra with manual handbrake I’m forever trying to drive off forgetting to take the handbrake off.
