Hi Mitch29

Sorry to hear of the troubles that you are having. I have a similar i30 - but an auto and a year older. I have had no troubles with bio fuel (touch wood), Nor can I recall any mention of such troubles on any of the UK /Hyundai forums. ...

Hi all,
I just had my 60 plate avensis tourer in for its 40k service. All good except it needs new pads back and front, however it also needs new discs back and front!
At 40k !? Have I found the avensis Achilles heal?
Has anyone else had similar experience Read more

On the cruze, (yes I know different car) at the service at chevrolet dealers pads at 2mm sir, but parts not in stock, so asked manager at K.fit who is an old mate who measured everything and pads at 3.19 mm, but did a dull brake service and pads fitted for £65, main dealer would have been 30 mins labour + vat + parts.(about £150)

The surprise was that the kwikfit pads were gm/delphi with the GM partnumber on the box and the pads....

I am looking to buy a used Vauxhall Zafira Tourer, it's a 13 plate. How much warranty should I get free and servicing thrown in for the price. The vehicle costs about £14.000 with very low miles. For that price should I get a good warranty thrown in. Any answers please would be helpful. Read more

No I wont be taken, for the money i'm paying all I want is at least two years warranty and servicing included in the price, if thats not good enough I will go somewhere else. If they want my cash it will be on my terms, because I will be paying in a lump sum.

As all the above plus 1 possible explanation.

Certain Peugeots (and I think it was 307/308 models) suffered from an electrical glitch which caused the odometer to over-read quite considerably....

I am looking for a small automatic car, petrol, for my mother. For the past few years she has had a Clio Auto (08 plate) and has found the running costs high given that the Auto box is only 4 speed. I am looking for a similar sized car, again auto, with a 5 or 6 speed box but it appears that the general theme for cars of this size are 4 speed autos. She wants a minimum engine size of a 1.4 with a 1.6 (same as her Clio) the ideal.

Budget is £7k max.... Read more
