It passed with no advisories!

Sadly the same can't be said of the 17 plate Ford Tourneo taxi before me. That failed on a CV boot and minor scratches.

I think the supercharger belt on mine is that sort of price, probably a similar size too!

You've Bub'd it!

It's survived longer than 'owt else though, so must be a good advert for them.

Slipping on pull off. Suddenly jumping down a gear or two on bypass when on cruise and throwing you through windscreen. Slightest touch of throttle mahes it jump a gear down. Also going other way when you want it to change it won't and keeps holding its higher gear. Happened other week and Hyundai said it needed a software update but it's happened again. The guy who came to me when it overheated due to failed hose was the guy who also came on Friday. He's told Hyundai it needs to be checked for water ingress from when hose failed too. Hyundai's response when I rang them was you've a dodgy car speak to motability for an exchange.

If they offer you an exchange will you get another?
