Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
12 months on it developed a rattle at the rear when going over bumpy road. Took it in to Vauxhall but they said it was the rear boot/hatch fastener/lock. It was greased and the springs loosened. The noise is still there. Front radiator mounts needed changing three months after purchase. Dealt with under warranty. The car has become very bouncy at rear. Been suggested by mechanic friend that it could be the shock absorbers. Not very happy now at strike three!! Not even sure this will be dealt with under warranty. Very disappointed.
