    Hello, I’m a new Vauxhall and Astra driver and recently bought a 3 year old GTC. Loving the car, but I’m having an issue with it which is really becoming a bit of a bug bear. Not every time, but most of the time, when I pull up, park the car, stick it in Park, pull the handbrake up, turn the...
