• Hyundai I40 - Re : Insurance claims 7 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  The other driver has admitted liability and his insurance company have contacted me confirming this and offering to handle my case directly without getting my insurance company involved. The damage appears to be cosmetic only involving the replacement of the main bumper, bumper cover mouling and tailgate cover moulding. Unfortunately their nominated repair company are not "Hyundai approved" and as a result the delear I bought the car from says using them may put my warrranty at risk [the main reason why I bought the car].

My girlfriend's sister has a 206 hdi which now has 37,000 miles, apparently her father topped up the oil adding nearly a litre in June (she didn't notice the oil level monitor until it started to flash) when the car went for its 36,000 mile sevice the (local vat registered) mechanic reported an oil leak coming from the back of the engine possibly from below the rocker cover (the entire engine is soaked) and had advised her to go back to peugeot as the car was just out of warranty (may 06) this was a few weeks ago.
