I purchased a 2 year old ix35 2.0 auto from a Hyundai dealer in September 2014. The vehicle consistently pulls to the left on all roads and at all speeds. To maintain a straight line right hand pressure is required on the steering wheel.

I recently purchased a 2007 Chrysler grand voyager 2.8 crd with 125k miles. It has full service history and the stack of paper work that came with it shows every little thing done including bulbs that have been replaced.
It has been driving fine untill last night when the EML came on. The car still drives fine and no lack of power. I checked the fault coad witch is p1130 and relates to fuel rail pressure. As said above it doesn't fell like anything is wrong. Does anyone know what it could be?... Read more

Did the Hilux myself when new, but after a few months the paint finish wasn't beading water quite as well as when first applied, just as you'd find with any polish or sealant....

My local "member of the fed of auto transmission engineers", with which I have no connection other than being a customer, tells me that the auto transmission oil should be changed (to the extent that it can be) every 50K miles. This works well for me.
And no doubt for him,too. ...
