Hello, thought as I have a bit of time over the holidays, I'd register for the forum I've been reading for the last few months as a guest. I have read loads of good info and tips, so thanks to all concerned. My i30 CRDi SLX was ordered in February 2008 & arrived at the beginning of October after all the dramas of strikes and undersupply. Well worth waiting for though, got floor mats, dashmat, window tint, & paint & fabric treatment for $25750 on the road. Good support from the dealer too with a loan vehicle from June to delivery of the i30. I have added a bonnet protector, side protectors, headlight protectors, cargo area tray & side window shields. Looks great now in Steel Grey, driving a diesel is a real revelation after petrol for 34 years, all that low-down torque......very happy with the build quality too.... Cheers

G'day Martin and Welcome

Look forward to seeing some pics.

Sounds like you got yourself a very nice deal.

Where abouts are you from?

Regards

Daniel

Howdoo Martinm1, good to see you come over from the light side to the dark side :D

Glad you agree with the force that is the CRDi :)

If you haven't already you might want to take a look at the thread I just put up in Diesel Issues that will apply very much to you.....

Temps and Summer.

I wish you all the best with tomorrow as well, heard 37 for you guys I think it was. I'm only going to be a few degress under that here.

Welcome Martin...

Happy new year, glad you like the CRDi as much as I do mine.. Wouldn't worry too much about the temperature issues (we have that 5 year/ unlimited KM warranty...)

Cheers,

Darryl

Welcome martin...
The temps aren't as high as yours (yet) but the humidity makes up for it.

Thanks to all for the welcome, I'll take some pics in the next few days. Saw your post on temps Daniel, we can only boast one real hill in Perth where that may be a concern, Greenmount Hill, a long steep incline on Great Eastern Highway up and over the Darling Ranges. Virtually all my driving is done on the flatlands and I don't do any towing or hard driving (too old and boringly sensible now), so while I won't worry too much, I'll be following that thread with  interest......

Cheers
Martin
