Re: Driver seat loss of shape

Back to the dealer, you have a 5 year warranty ! This will be classed as 'wear and tear' I'm sure that some dealers will try that ploy and maybe even Hyundai themselves, but for a 2023 car with 6000 miles on the clock this is simply unacceptable. It's noted that you have a jaundiced view of Hyundai...

Re: Granny charger query

I also use a smart socket for timed charging (not tapo) which works really nicely. The datasheet says it's not suitable for EV charging but also says it's 13a rated and never gets hot. I suspect it's just ass covering. The Hyundai scheduler is unreliable, timed socket is the way to go unless you hav...

Re: Noisy Windscreen Wipers - Resolved I think

My car is almost 2.5 years old and done almost 20k miles on the original wiper blades and they still clear great, apart from the drivers one has started to squeal when at the top of the wipe annoying when in use, so looks like time to replace once this cold snap is over, I will get a price for OE a...

Re: Charging management PHEV

It depends on the capacity of the 'charger' (wall box)
