Just noticed a few spots of oil on the driveway.....I am at 119,500 and about to get a service so I will get the mechanic to have a look then.....God forbid battle Hyundai to get it fixed..... I can hear them now..."it has done 120,000k you know etc etc.....

It could be challenging claiming for an oil leak under UK warranty.  Below is one of the General Exceptions:

Slight oozing of oils or fluids from seals or gaskets, which cause no appreciable decrease in the level of these fluids.

If its leaking enough to drip  and your within warranty time and km's there should be no question.

Thanks for that, Booked it for the 1/12 I'll get them to look at the glove box rattle too, is the fix likely to drain the oil?

That would depend on where the leak is coming from but I'd think they would fix the leak before installing the new oil.

If they were going to need to change the oil, I have Mobil 1 to go in....I guess I will take some down just in case, it would be silly to drop the oil and not replace the filter, then have to do the 120k service later in the week.

Any oil dropped should be reclaimed and reused if not a service interval but it wouldn't hurt to take some new stuff just in case.

Ahh never thought of that...

Once oil is out of the motor, it doesn't go back in, IMO.

We don't reuse any oils. Even on Warranty jobs.

Hyundai pays for any oil required. We do only drop oil if absolutely necessary.

All fixed. Auto Transmission gasket replaced, 2l of transmission fluid and she is all better.

They even washed it  one less job for me to do tomorrow. I really can't speak highly enough of the service at Robina Hyundai. It is much easier to get an appointment there than Southport, and they really seem to go the extra mile.

Got to drive a petrol IX35. I was surprised by the economy of the petrol engine.

I cast an eye over a Genesis very nice car, bit expensive for me though....

Oh and in some bad news, there is about a 4 month back log for I30 tourers, it appears that business has a taste for them.

Excellent result. 

[cruiserfied]

Glad to hear no troubles

[StarSeeker]

Great result and having a decent local dealership is a bonus as well

My dealer reckons Hyundai Australia wont be getting any more tourers in.

There are so many FD tourers around in the city that you'd have thought they'd get heaps of the GDs in... maybe the fact they're from czec rep has something to do with supply. I'd say the vast majority of GD tourers I've seen are liveried up commercial runabouts. And those that are plain clothes are probably commercially used cars too. (I know mine is)

The fall in the AUD and the free trade agreement with Korea will make the hatches cheaper still, the wagon is pushing towards small SUV territory, when combined with the better resale of the SUV makes the SUV a better option for families.

But the Wagon has a bigger cargo space, and better economy making it the better choice for business (who generally buy in bulk, can wait a couple of months for a shipment, and get a better price).

If they stop bringing the tourer in due to the exchange rate, not sure if that will be good or bad for us... not a lot of them in Tassie, but we are generally well pleased with it (particularly the styling and the finish)
