Well, after more than three years and 127,000 kms my faith in the i30's reliability was shattered today.  :disapp:
My daughter was following me and when we stopped she told me that my right hand brake light globe has blown.
Just not good enough, is it?  :whistler:
It's the first defect I've had and such a big one too...  :blubber:  :lol:

Sound advice.
And 60 Minutes might be interested too.
It's a pretty bad state of affairs when you go three years without a single blow then all of a sudden it happens without warning.
And at the back end too.  :eek: It could have resulted in disaster.
