Re: Spontaneous wave of faults; Unsafe to drive

It wouldn't hurt to fit a voltage meter into the cars power socket assuming you can see it, I have one in all my cars every since I had battery problems in a Mazda CX5.

Re: Hybrid auto driving tip

It's the engine noise that's harsh and not pleasant to hear, otherwise you wouldn't bat a eye at 3k revs from a petrol engine.

Re: New Tucson arrived….. but Refused!

I refused a Cortina back in the day after waiting 6 months, it came with a blue interior that looked awful.

Re: Tucson PHEV Nose Weight Limit

The limit is 100kg for both Tucson and Sportage.
Most ALKO chassis also have a 100kg max.
The advice for towing is to have between 5-7 percent of the caravans MTPLM, the caravans loaded weight.

Re: Towing a caravan

I'd like an answer to this myself.
There appears to be no information in the manual (I have a kia Sportage hybrid) with dealer fitted towbar but wont be towing (1650kg) until next year...
