No, seriously, there is snow in the Snowy Mountains in Victoria and a bit in NSW, plus some in Tasmania, the forgotten island (apologies to Dazz), but the rest of Australia has no issues with snow.

A test vehicle was brought out here from Korea and underwent lots of testing and adjustments until they got it right for our roads. Evidently our suspension is firmer. Found a picture of a disguised i30 under test in Australia on dirt roads. This appeared on the CarAdvice website in July 2007.

You are very lucky in Australia ... sun always shining and snow is only present on postcards !

The changing of tyres from summer (harder compound) to winter (soft compound) and back again would be, as we Australians say, "a pain in the ****!" I wonder if that will get sensored? We shall see .... Bob

Had non of the issues with our car excepting for the gear-shift. This is freeing up as the car is driven more and more. Bob

Bob [right][snapback]156723[/snapback][/right] Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on :) Yes not happy with the detail, but Ive already taken delivery and its already covered in road crap, so when I get the chance, I will do the detail correctly, who knows, maybe the guy doing the pre delivery work is inexperienced or not happy with his/her job, not the salespersons fault. If I buy another car, Ill just ask for the car delivered as is with stickers, plastic wrapping, foam and wood chocks, gives me more incentive to knock down the price.

Gear shift in lower gears was one of my early criticisms but has improved already (3000km) and someone on the forum who's done over 10000km says there car has improved immeasurably in this area. Enjoy the new ride. About to give mine a good thorough clean up inside and out (been a bad boy using it as a work horse to cart gear up to my new block) :blush: Rgds, Dazz

[right][snapback]156713[/snapback][/right] Turbo1600 thats a good idea! dropping oil at 500k, also good to inspect it closely, what oil will you replace it with? John

Will start using synthetic oil once it clears 15,000km This post has been edited by turbo1600: Apr 28 2008, 06:44 AM

John [right][snapback]156802[/snapback][/right] Turbo1600, i agree not good to use synthetic too early , i found out the type oil Hyundai recomend to be used with the partical filter is a fully synthetic oil that is low smoke, i'll find out monday if can run mineral base with the partical filter without damagine it as they are pricy, and if you go to get one under warranty they would test i'm sure. just thought i'd tell you.

Apparently the type of oil used can affect the filter and make it clog up, I dont believe Aus delivered i30 CRDis had these filters fitted. In the owners manual, it says the oil must meet ACEA C3 standards if the vehicle is fitted with one, if not ACEA B4 is adequate.
