Vauxhall Grandland X clutch and gear box replacement

Ford warranty for example is 3 years or 60000 miles unless you take out an extended warranty which most manufacturers can offer . Easy to be wise after the event . Even then , unlikely clutch would be covered ( unless failed part and not wear and tear ) But sore bill to have to pay out

Only done 37000 and clutch could live with but gear box I’m struggling with as never had to replace a gear box on cars I had for years with treble the milage but should of read the small print that warranty did not cover the full term of the lease.One hard lesson learnt.

Gearbox failure at 37000 is unusual unless possibly damaged by clutch collapse but would really need to see report on why they say it needs replaced and their diagnosing of cause

Thanks will ask the garage and see what they say but be interesting to know if this is a common complaint with the Grand land .

I brought a Grandland X in January 2022 on PCP. After 2mths the whole gearbox had to be removed and replaced. The car is 19 plate...at the time only did just over 18,000. Its been one thing after another and Vauxhall could not careless !! I'm complained to Ombudsman. Had the car about 20 mths and its been in the garage around 5/6 times.

Hi I have just got the car back after waiting four weeks had to replace gear box clutch and flywheel so cost me over £3000 and it’s a lease car which I have had three years and will be giving it back next July.sent five emails to vauxuall customer care team nothing back and even the manager at Vauxhall garage said this should not of happened on a low milage three year old car and the milage is 29thousand miles not 37 absolute joke but will take it further.

It's bad when Vauxhall customer care team do not even reply . I wish you luck in getting it resolved , keep at them

We have had both the problems described above. Whole new gearbox last year luckily was still under manufacturers 3 year warranty and this year whole new flywheel and clutch at over 2k. Complianed to Vauxhall but got nowhere so taking it further. These parts should not fail before 38k miles unless I am driving the car like max verstappen, which I’m not

Would have thought they would have checked / replaced clutch and flywheel at same time as changing gearbox

I have sent nine emails to Vauxhall customer care team no response and resolver also contacted them no response it is 8 weeks next week so will be contacting ombudsman but Vauxhall seriously need to be looked into because the cars are clearly not fit for purpose and you only have to go on trust pilot to see hundreds of bed reviews.wish all the best

July 2025
Having same issue as gear box gone at 27000 - quoted initially £7500 but as a "gesture of goodwill" they halved it but still nearly £4k with the diagnostics. Vauxhall Southend have been awful - would not order part till paid in full and then chased for date and told part would not be in for 3 MONTHS so without a car till at least October so have no way of getting to work (30 miles away in Kent from Essex) or hospital appointments etc. Brought the 20 plate on PCP just 18 months ago (had 2 services since as per the agreement) so kept my end of deal. Vauxhall customer services not replying to any emails. Motor Ombudsmen cannot look into it until 8 weeks later (could lose job by then as cannot get to work). This clearly seems to be a fault but of course we cannot prove it. Maybe we should all write a joint letter of complaint to get them looking into a possibly manufacturing fault. Would never buy or recommend Vauxhall to anybody.
If anyone has any advice - would be highly appreciated.

my wife has a 23 plate Grandland, two clutches in 7 months and she broke down again, this time, stuck in first gear.
This is a joke and you get naff all help from Vauxhall. although there is nothing wrong with Astra 16 plate, i wish i had looked elsewhere. appalling after sales.
