 :rofl: :rofl: do you really want me to go there John B  :rofl: :rofl: now this is only for Cyril,Bruce has been brilliant.

CYRIL'S HISTORY
Day three,almost got to four,punched in the nose by a kangaroo almost beyond recognition (pic's in FD gallery) :whistler: no problem got that fixed,they almost wrote him off,but happy they didn't as he was the first new car I had ever had.

Day 30 odd,total lack of power,wouldn't pull the skin of a rice pudding,had a bug in the fuel(they did try it on it was faulty fuel from someones servo) they had to totally pull out the whole fuel system,clean and replace it,when the fuel was tested it was a bug which came across the big pond from Korea.

Day 45 Odd,again total lack of power,continually going into limp home mode,tracked two a split intercooler hose (I believe related to repairs done from Day Three episode) took two days to fix,as Hyundai do not keep ANY spare parts in WA,except filters and alike

so we are now on Day 47 odd,they finally got the hose repaired,they were doing a test drive,when boom,total steering failure,without the car for yet another ten days,while they flew in a whole new steering system and column from Korea(none in Australia at the time)brilliant spare parts department here in Oz,maybe better now.(I suspect again related to day three episode)

but since then,just normal servicing,a couple of windscreens and a few issues with very poor workmanship from Hyundai so called mechanics(hence I haven't used them for the past couple of years other than warranty issues)

But no he will be with us until he drops dead or becomes financially Prohibitive to repair,but having said all this of Cyril,he was a case out of the norm I think.

Now Bruce (touch wood) since we have had him,got him a few months after Cyril,been just normal servicing,put fuel in him keep him clean and Bob's your uncle,Oh! he has had three windscreens so far,to be four very soon if the last chip repair crack gets any larger,between the two of them over the past almost three years we have cover nigh on 200,000 kilometres (or 125,000 miles for those which have not been able to master the metric system  :lol: )

Very courageous of you to buy Bruce, after Cyril's wobbly start.  :confused:

Wow what a start, good that you stuck with it though. A lot of people would have spit the dummy and walked up and down outside the dealership with a sign saying  what do we want , when do we want it NOW. Oops sorry wrong protest but you know what I mean.  :lol:

Like I said John,other than the dodgy fuel I'm 99% sure most of the other problems,would if they looked more carefully have led back to his punch in the nose by a bloody huge kangaroo.  :whistler: :lol:

What's Captain America,what's the code word for.

Had a scare yesterday,finished work,went into the locker room to change my boots and put all my work crap in my locker,NO KEYS HOOKED on my belt,naturally went into total panic mode,all I could think of was the cost of replacing the key.

In my panic rang Sue to drive 125 Kilometres to bring me the spare,so I could get home,in my panic had an angina attack,then thinking and rethinking where I could have lost them,went out jumped in the truck high tailed it back to the last known location of where I knew I had the keys and yes thank F*** they were lying on the ground in the long dry grass where I had been working.

Rang Sue on her mobile(she was half way bereen Beverley and York on her way down to my work),told her she could turn around and go home,I had found the keys,got home late but at least I didn't have the expense of having to replace a key

Take it easy Rick-p.

Sometimes s*** happens, but no point in making yourself ill over it. Just imagine if there had been a fatality due to stress, are the keys worth THAT much to you or your family ? I think not.

Glad you found them Rick..  :happydance:

I had one of the remotes for our Auto gates velcroed to the right side of my Dash. We had a very hot day a few weeks back and the glue on the velcro went soft and the remote must have fallen on to the door sill and fallen out of the car.  :disapp:

Fortunately we still have two left and I think I can get another for around $40 anyway.. but I did go for a bit of a search, but no luck.

Gates not working at the moment anyway!  I must have another fiddle!  :rolleyes:
