Shame that some people start threads.......

and so few people acknowledge them or can be bothered to agree or disagree with the original comment.
The idea of a forum is to share knowledge - otherwise what's the point of posting in the first place?
Come on folks, join in...... :roll: .

Re: Start / Stop not working ISG MHEV

The battery has to be fully charged and works 'some of the time'.
Personally, I turn mine off.

Brake stuff

2019 Sportage 4 1.6TGDi AWD DCT. At the last service (40000 miles - December 2023) it was noted that the pads were getting low and discs were requiring change when the pads were sorted due to an overhang on the outer edge of the discs. Dealer price for 4 discs & pads (fitted) was over £800 (yes,...

Re: Oh no, another tyre thread!

Done over 20000 miles on the tyres so far and still a couple of thousand left on them. Since retirement, I tend to do more local driving, so more bends & braking than motorways nowadays.
The Sporty tends to handle better than the Santa Fés too, so that doesn't help with tyre wear either!!

Anyway, I called in at my local tyre dealer in Barnsley (Malcolm's, on Cemetery Road) that I have been using for over 35 years for...

Re: DCT clutch issues

Got the Sporty back 3 days later with a new DC in which the old one looks like this...... The one fitted is a new type, super duper DC as fitted to the new cars with DCT. 20240131_152317.jpg Also had a MOT done - (pass), freeby satnav update so the speed details are on the screen again, engine/clutc...

Re: DCT clutch issues

Dropped the Sporty off early January for clutch and other bits doing - more info later! They want it for 'up to' 3 days Which is no problem, as I now have a 23 PLATE GT line Rio manual as a courtesy car. Strange little beast with a 3 pot turbo engine, but quite nippy. Dash controls very different, b...
