General Chat / I30N detachable tow bar !
« Last post by steve66 on April 21, 2024, 14:13:43 »
Hello , bit of a wildcard to throw into the mix here but I was wondering if anybody else has done it and can please give me some advice, I want to get another car a bit later in the year but have a bit of a problem , I want a  hot hatch but it must be able to occasionally tow a light box trailer!
Ive looked at several different makes of car in my price range and had to rule them out because they were either too small / large or were not homologated to tow . I am now left with 2 models to choose from the focus ST or the I30N. I have viewed both models and my head says get the focus but my heart says the I30N , my main problem now is that nobody that fits tow bars can get an " invisible " ( when not in use ) tow bar for the I30N, the Focus is no problem because the rear bumper is the same as an ST line and Witter make one that the man that fits tow bars who was recommended to me has actually fitted on an ST.
I have found a company called Euro tow bars that actually manufactures an invisible tow bar for an i30N but my question to the forum is have any of you had an invisible tow bar fitted to your i30N ( I know this is going to be a rare thing to do ) but if so any advice that you can give  me ie:  what make was it , what company fitted it ? it will be gratefully appreciated .
thank you regards Steve.

General Chat / Military Discounts for Hyundai?
« Last post by Springbok on April 16, 2024, 18:00:36 »
It is my dads 60th and we are looking into getting him a Hyundai Bayon, he was in the army until recently, so I was just wondering does anybody know any dealers that offer any discounts for Hyundai's specifically for people who served in the army and in his case a veteran?

Soot from the ship's funnel wrecking your ride to the tune of 6000€? That's daylight robbery! Good on ya for getting Linea Directa involved, but it's a shame the shipping company couldn't give a toss. Sounds like they're all talk and no action.

And what's the deal with those posh cars like the Merc and Audi getting caught in the crossfire too? You'd think they'd have better luck, being all fancy and that.

Lesson learned, though – steer clear of the top deck if you don't fancy your ride turning into a mobile chimney sweep! Cheers for the heads up, mate, and best of luck with your freshly painted wheels.

General Chat / Re: Fuses on Bayon
« Last post by EamonGiles on March 20, 2024, 11:23:16 »
When it comes to finding the right ignition-controlled fuse to power your dash cam, you've got a few options. Typically, you'll want to look for a fuse that's linked to a circuit that's only active when the ignition is turned on. This ensures that your dash cam only draws power when your car is running, saving your battery from unnecessary drain when it's parked.

A common choice for many drivers is to tap into the fuse box under the dashboard or in the engine compartment. Look for fuses labeled with terms like "ACC" (Accessory), "IGN" (Ignition), or "RADIO." These circuits are usually connected to the ignition switch and are ideal for powering accessories like dash cams.

General Chat / Re: Rear Window Nozzle/TPMS

that rear window nozzle spraying water all over except where it's supposed to go sounds like a classic case of misalignment. Luckily, adjusting it should be a piece of cake. Most rear window nozzles can be adjusted by using a pin or a needle to carefully direct the spray where it needs to be. Try gently nudging it in the direction you want it to go. If that doesn't do the trick, you might need to pop the nozzle cover off for a closer look or even adjust the hose behind it. Just take it slow and easy to avoid breaking anything.

General Chat / Re: 130 new/old battery
« Last post by EamonGiles on March 20, 2024, 11:16:38 »
one thing to consider is a parasitic draw test. It's a fancy way of checking if something in your car is slurping up power when it shouldn't be. Sometimes there's a component or system that's not switching off when it should, and that can drain a battery quicker than you can say "jump start."

Don't forget to scan for any fault codes too. Even if your check engine light isn't throwing a tantrum, there might be some hidden codes that could give you a clue about what's going on.

Oh, and make sure those new batteries are up to snuff. Getting them tested could rule out any issues with them.

Glad the shipping company have sorted it out for you.

Looks like it was Direct Line (insurance) that sorted it ;)
