Title: i30 breakdown
Post by: eye30 on January 27, 2009, 17:27:25: Came across this on another Hy site and I'm quoting the posting for information.
Hope they don't mind me sharing.

Suggested they join this site and keep us upto date etc etc..

"I got my new 09 I30 1.6 Diesel Auto SLX on the 5th of January and today it went up in a big black cloud of smoke and had to get towed back to the garage where it was bought from.... Not good and I had to fight for them to give me a car whilst I found out what is wrong with mine..."

When a reply is posted I'll posted here.

I wonder if he's had very very bad news and given up on the i30.

No other posts from him either.

Post by: Lakes on February 09, 2009, 09:31:12: Hey Steve, my Girlfriend named her "Betsy". i just asked what name do you think we should call her. She loves her too.
I told her your i30 is Fergie, she liked that too.
I don't think Betsy would ever let us down. :D
