Crossland and Grandland - what dreary names 22 Jan 2017 (Forum)
The Vauxhall Crossland will soon be followed by its bigger brother, the Grandland. Not exactly sparkling names, are they? (Even with that all-important "X" suffix). In a touching gesture of solidarity, the Opel models will use the same names. Not to be confused with... Land Rover. Land -

Headlights 4 May 2009 (Forum)
It is important to have two working headlights, and some countries even require you to carry a spare bulb. It is impossible to change a headlight bulb on many (most?) modern cars without specialist equipment and a great deal of effort. I may be wrong, but isn't this a design fault? (I can -

Aftermarket fog lights on Japanese cars 27 Aug 2007 (Forum)
