Problems with the ESL and corroded brake pipes

Keep us updated, mate. Curious how this plays out.

Relax! I bought a 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid from them everything was handled properly. It's still drive like a baby 🙂

Hi That’s the reality of buying remotely though. I work in motor trade logistics and quite a few finance repos are sold like this now. If they’re giving you 14 days from delivery and it’s written on their website in plain sight, that’s stronger than a lot of small independent dealers.

For a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), I'd like to know the real cost per mile by adding up the costs of charging and petrol over a set period of time, maybe a month or three months. This should be possible if the driver is enrolled in a specific charging tariff and the electricity costs can be calculated using the invoices from their home and office chargers. When the increased purchase cost of the PHEV is offset, the prices per mile might be compared to those of a HEV.

On a brief all-electric excursion before, I had infinity shown 👍.

Hello everyone, could someone direct me to a reputable independent establishment in North West England? Situated in Liverpool, hence in close proximity. Requiring replacement of the timing chain and servicing of the automatic gearbox. Thank you.

Hello, I own a Kia Rio, which has proven to be exceptionally reliable. My daughter is in search of a quality used vehicle that is little larger than mine, prompting me to consider the Niro. Regrettably, home charging appears unfeasible; although she has adequate space, she resides in a rental property and lacks a separate electrical meter. I have two enquiries: Would you purchase a Niro, knowing that you would predominantly operate it on petrol? I believe that hybrids are more sophisticated and that their servicing may be costlier than that of diesel or petrol vehicles. There may be further disadvantages of which I am unaware. Secondly, if she seeks a conventional diesel or petrol vehicle, what possibilities are available from Kia? I can observe their present production (predominantly hybrid or electric), but I am unaware of when they ceased manufacturing diesel or petrol models, particularly in the larger body sizes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Is the battery included in the 7-year/100,000-mile guarantee for their hybrid and electric vehicles? Thank you for your counsel.

I had a mechanic friend examine it, and the issue pertains to the brakes. The brake pad has dislodged from the calliper and, while reversing, becomes lodged between the calliper and the calliper mount. Thank you for the response, however.

I have consulted the Mazda dealer, who concurred that the issue likely pertains to the gearbox. However, as my brother owns the vehicle and is reluctant to visit a dealer due to the high costs, I am posting this inquiry to ascertain if anyone has experienced a similar problem or has insights regarding the matter. I suspect that the bearings within the gearbox may be damaged.

My brother operates a 2009 Mazda 3 hatchback with a manual gearbox. He informed me today that his car cannot reverse, as if something is obstructing it or as though the parking brake is perpetually engaged, however this issue does not occur when he drives forward. I suspect it pertains to the transmission, although he contends it relates to the brakes. Does anyone possess insights regarding its nature?

Greetings, I seek to have my MS85 2015 RWD modified with a coolant delete in the UK but have encountered difficulties in locating an appropriate garage. Residing in Hertfordshire, I am now considering a garage named ‘Tesla Specialist Birmingham,’ which primarily promotes itself on Facebook and has numerous posts indicating positive experiences in this domain. However, I am quite apprehensive over its absence of an online presence, as it lacks a conventional website. It has favourable evaluations on Facebook; nonetheless, I would like to ascertain if anyone here has utilised it and had a positive experience.

Thank you for your comprehensive response. It elucidates all the information I required had I perused the instruction.chuckle: Thank you all for your cooperation. Greatly appreciated.

You are entirely accurate. As is customary, I neglected to peruse the user manual before to commencing operation. Thank you for your contribution.
