Loved the BMW its been a good car but fuel returns of 25 mpg just not good enough never thought about a Hyundai but thought it looks a great car and loved the top spec can't wait.

Right folks picked it up tonight its driving like a dream only thing is on the way home the tmps light came on,is this something to worry about the independent Dealer said be had replaced the two front tyres for the cars first Mot and one of the valves came off which he replaced just wondering if its just a faulty sensor or something?

Hopefully, he replaced the valve with an equivalent tpms radio-enabled one :eek:


He has done that, hasn't he? And the pressures are correct?


Glad you like the i30 otherwise :)

My congratulations!!!!!

I remember the day and the hours especially, when I was about to set off for a dealer to pick up my i30, in details; I was so intrigued that smashed a luster and cut my palm  :lol:

You do know that tpms valves are not ordinary valves. Like I said earlier, make sure they replaced the broken one with a tpms one

I'd still be checking the valves and the tyre pressures though... :winker:

That's interesting. I seem to remember having a couple of European cars in at work over the last few months where they take some time to reset themselves after you replace/ repair the tyre(s). Possibly that's the issue here, but still worth getting checked.
