Never mind, I didn't think it would be.

Well we are joining the ranks of merry I30 owners by biting the bullet and ordering a new SX CRDI manual  :D, pick up next Monday.

The biggest gripe with the SX was the cheap feeling steering wheel and gear knob so a optional leather gear knob will be fitted and a motor trimmer has quoted approx $200 to have the steering wheel trimmed in leather. Fitting some other goodies like tint, rear spoiler and 17" SX rims so should look quite nice.

Thanks for all the advice everyone.

Cheers

Darryl

One would expect a minimum of 300 000km from a diesel engine before requiring any major work, however I don't think yours was white or silver Dazzler  :'(

I agree - good 2nd hand ones are hard to find.  I think once you've got one you tend to hold on to it!

I did the same thing - was on the lookout for a 2nd hand one, but in the end decided a new one was the best way to go!
