Last evening I tested another feature of the car - the luggage compartment light is now on the left hand side and just as gloomy as the previous model. You DIY guys are going to change it to an LED display I am sure.
I now know how she feels when she moves all the furniture around in the lounge - I fail to notice her hard work - and she rightly accuses me of being like most men - lost in my own little world and not being at all observant.
2. The only thing that has turned me off of the 2012 i30 is the presence of a space saver tyre. I know from region to region the past models have varied between having a space saver spare and a full-size. Wonder if they'll continue to be inconsistent? I hope so for Oz, at least - what with all the wide open spaces.
I know I am asking for trouble in saying this - but - I have not had a puncture for 20 years.
It's probably different for you guys in Australia...but... I have not had a puncture for 20 years.
What's all this chat doing here, I thought Mr Ho would have used his tools to clean this up by now

Over the past five years I would have had five go down on me.

I'm totally shocked at you guys. What on earth are you thinking about? I'm talking about tyres and punctures, as per the topic of this thread. And yes, in the past five years I would have had five punctures, but then I've done a lot of kms.Before I got my i30, I was doing about 110-120,000 kms per year so I guess it's not too bad.
Thank you again for the article Alan. Based upon your experience I am now SERIOUSLY considering moving my sat nav (which is the same make as yours) to the center and not having the tell tale sucker (in more ways than one) mark on the window. The thought of glue gumming up the dash really did put me off.
Better than nothing Alan but could be better for sure
When I alighted from the car at the dealers you could smell and almost feel the heat radiating from under the car. It's a wonder they don't catch fire. The same thing happened on the way back home and I have no idea whether the DPF regeneration was completed or not. It knocked my trip average economy down to 52.2 mpg (5.5 L/100 km) by the time I got home.
