I keep my coins in the ashtray. Downside is that I can't work out how to remove it as some coins are stuck in there...

They're handy for Maccas drive through or if I go around to the shop to get milk or something.

I do the same....

Martin, the secret of removing the ash tray is to not try to remove the whole thing.....
There's actually an inner section that just lifts out, easy once you've done it once!

*edit: Here's a previous thread on the subject....

I took the inside jigger out to get more coins in but now some coin(s) stood up at the back and it jams only a little way out and I can't get in far enough to fix it. It's not a very good coin holder.

Doh! Time to upgrade cars, pip....

I don't like the manual it came with 

Every time I can't figure out how to do something, or think something might have gone wrong, or think the car isn't doing something it's supposed to it takes me 5 hours of searching to try and find it (I usually give up and put up with whatever is bugging me).

They need a second manual to explain how to use the first manual.

[panda]

They really do. I'm not a technological dinosaur by far and that thing confusticates the heck out of me! 

Edit: No offence to technological dinosaurs of course!

[Doggie 1]

I'm trying to remember the last time I was confusticated.

That's what we're here for.

It's the technical term for being extremely confused

Fantastic! I shall be bugging you all shortly  (although I don't suppose there is a cure for 2 idiots who spent 20 minutes trying to figure out why the car wouldn't start only to discover the husband had put it in reverse and forgotten  )

That's very funny.
But don't feel bad. My last car was a Subaru Impreza RV which boasted Hi and LO range gearing. It always lived in Hi range because it never went off road (much). One day I rolled out of my driveway which I could do in neutral, then put it into first and let the clutch out, only to go nowhere. Thought I'd done a clutch or the gearbox, pushed the car back to the curb and went back to bed ( I was heading off for an early morning surf). About 2 hours later, something went "Boom" in my head and I went back out to the car. Sure enough I'd bumped the Hi/Lo range gear lever into neutral.

10 years ago, I'm 20 k's away, get a call from the other half, the battery's flat. Drive all the way back to find the auto gear lever in D instead of N or P. So don't feel too bad Panda.

Which reminds me. About 6 years ago my daughter was in a share house in Brisbane and only she and one of the guys had cars. They had to park one behind the other under the house. One day he went out and left her his key in case she wanted to get her car out. She couldn't start it. Rang me and we tried various things with no success. Finally in desperation I suggested she push the clutch in.

That was the first time I knew that you had to do that to start a Hyundai (it was an old Sonata).

What's a DC outlet? My boot floor doesn't catch on anything.

Well, perhaps it was an optional accessory on FD hatches, but mine definitely has a cigarette-lighter 12V socket in the side wall of the boot. Lifting the floorboard to access the tools, or the left-hand tray, results in the outlet cover nearly being ripped off the socket.

[2i30s]

did you buy your car new or was it second hand,it may have been added in by the previous owner.    only the cw/wagon had a power outlet in the back. 

[the everyman]

oh. it's second hand.

[2i30s]

you could have a car previously owned by someone on this forum,a few members have added the power socket in the boot/hatch area. 

[the everyman]

Well, Do you know a G or C Stevens?  *borderingonprivacyinvasion* lol

[2i30s]

addmin may sleuth that one out.

... a few members have added the power socket in the boot/hatch area.

Can you provide a link to the thread that covers this? I just checked mine and can only guess there might be some supporting metalwork in the left hand panel but no sign of where exactly. I'm not saying I need one but it's nice to know before I do.

[Doggie 1]

I had an auto electrician put a double socket in the back of my FD but unfortunately I don't have a photo of it.
It was on the left hand side and sat quite neatly.

I was wondering whether the i30 hatch has the spot for it but I guess that may be just the CW.
If there isn't a specific area in the metalwork, that's something I can do myself as aftermarket if I ever need it. Thanks.
