All good then

Shambles · **Reply #2: November 28, 2012, 20:44:09**

They stamped my book - that's good enough for me

100k Steve? Same year as mine with a miserly 36k on it lol!

It came to me from Warrington by the way!

Still love my i30.... fantastic motor!

Then again, just about anything would be better than your previous Grande Punto

Sorry mate

Blegh... but I will say that Punto was reliable & quick while I owned it.

No Hyundai i30 could get close.

194Bhp and 260ft lbs torque, returning an average of 52Mpg. Diesel of course.

Did it get a telegram from the Queen?

Shambles · **Reply #8: November 29, 2012, 17:05:55**

No, as she's only really done 95,300

Och_i30 · **Reply #9: December 03, 2012, 19:42:37**

Just been quoted ~£360 for the same scope of service

Looks like I've got to shop around more!

£100 more.

Do you live North West or it would even pay you to have a day trip to Blackpool and double up with the service.

What belts would these be?

The fifth item on the schedule I posted ("engine tuning belt") is for the 2L only

So glad you said that. I thought I must have missed something in my understanding of the diesel.

I only ever had Petrol cars and timing belt / cam chains and water pumps often changed at like 60 / 70mls a big service normally cost an arm and a leg

So do Diesel cars not have these ? Enlighten me please

Phil №❶ · **Reply #15: December 05, 2012, 11:24:37**

They all have water pumps, and the timing chain will last much longer than any toothed belt will. The timing chain is a duplex one, that is, effectively two chains in parallel, the very much preferred option to timing belts.

Hi Shambles

Just out of interest have you had the discs changed yet ? mine are comming up to 60k and are 'lipped' (front & rear) so will need replacing soon, pads last about 35k but mainly town driving.

Shambles · **Reply #17: December 09, 2012, 10:28:17**

Original discs. Original pads. No wear on anything brake-related

My motorway driving %age means I don't tend to brake that often, so wear will be minimal anyway

Doggie 1 · **Reply #18: December 09, 2012, 11:38:20**

Brakes? What brakes?
When I sold mine at 136,000 kms the brakes hadn't been touched.
By a mechanic that is, they were by me, when I braked, if you know what I mean.

It is more than just motorway driving. Well done

Well done Shambles and dbo8 you must have light feet to get that that distance from the pads ! or my wife has lead feet ! (she drives it 90% of the time )
