my car does the same, i've been told that its the ecu software. apparently when you take your car to vauxhall for a service they will also upgrade the ecu software and this irons out any glitch's, but if your car is like mine i service it my self so its never been done.

so does this mean im gunna have to take it to vauxhall cuz it was a bit dangerous wen i thought i could pull out n couldnt nearly had a van up my back side
