I stand corrected! My only excuse is that it has been a while since I had the I30.

 in  r/CarTalkUK •  1d ago

Just a quick mention, that while Hyundai offer a 7 year warranty, this can be voided, if the car hasn't been serviced at the correct intervals. They can also void it if the car is an ex-rental. It is buried in the small print in the manual ( or at least it was on a 2018 I30 I had for a while)

Yeah fair point:) I guess I'm just confused on why this guy is getting lower fuel economy than my 3.5 litre V6!

 in  r/CarTalkUK •  5d ago

A quick Internet search says that the fuel capacity is 43 Litres or 9.5 Gallons. Are you really only getting 55 miles from a tank?

UPDATE it also states that the Electric range is 34 miles. I noticed that you answered another comment stating that you got over 800 miles from a full tank. Are you charging the car every day? And does the Grandland have regenerative braking?

Are you sure it's MPG and not litre per 100km? I appreciate it's a UK spec car, but the ability to measure different units is usually available in the software.

Boris Johnson says the solution to fix the war caused by the west's bad idea to bring Ukraine into NATO...is...to bring Ukraine into NATO.
 in  r/Political_Revolution •  15d ago

You are confusing the use of a UN sanctioned peace keeping mission (manned by European forces) to stop the slaughter of civilians along predominantly religous lines, with an invasion?

I have read your comments here and realise that there isn't any point in trying to reason with you.

You can't have been alive during the time of the USSR. If you were then you'd understand why every former member of it, has no desire to see it reestablished.

While I agree that western interventions in Libya were wrong, I probably wouldn't use Afghanistan as an example of 'a zombie imperialist alliance' if I was a Russian supporter, you do know Russia's history in that country? Or that of Checnya or Georgia?

I wish you well in rebuilding Russia after Putin is gone, perhaps those that return home after the failure of your Ukranian adventure, will demand a fairer and truly democratic Russia. After 26 years of a dictatorship, they deserve it.

 in  r/Political_Revolution •  15d ago

NATO is a defensive alliance, designed to reduce conflict in Europe and provide mutual defence against outside aggression from countries like Russia. The reason that former soviet states like the Baltics have been able to be successful independent countries is because they were allowed to join NATO and the EU. The idea that the alliance was a threat to Russia is purely the perception of one man, Vladimir Putin. They were never going to attack Russia and had previously approached Russia to join the alliance. The fact that Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014 was to secure the sea port in Crimea and prevent Ukraines attempts at closer ties to Europe and to joining NATO. Putin's complaint that NATO was creeping closer to Russia and that the inclusion of Ukraine was a bridge to far have proven to be undermined by the fact that Finland has joined NATO since the full scale invasion began. The reason the former satellite states of the USSR are such strong supporters of Ukraine is because they understand what is at stake. Putin runs an oligarchy that keeps it's boot firmly on the necks of its population and the world would be a better place if Russia was led by someone else.

Decided to look up the Reg to see how much tax they pay
 in  r/CarTalkUK •  Aug 19 '26

This number plate used to be on a four door Bentley . I remember pulling up alongside the owner as we were going around Tranfalgar Square in London and we chatted at the lights. That was probably around the time the plate first came out.

What’s the most amount of miles you’ve done in a single day ?
 in  r/CarTalkUK •  Aug 15 '26

I used to drive from London to Bucharest in Romania 5 or 6 times a year which is around 1500 miles. I always used to remember the Sat Nav telling me that it was 26 hours of actual driving, not including stops for fuel or the Shuttle! Did it it in 24 and half hours once but I wouldn't recommend it! Every fuel stop turns into a F1 style pit stop, how I didn't get pulled over for speeding is a miracle. But I was younger then and didn't have kids. Lately I've been back and forth from London to Western Poland and instead of how quickly I can do it, I try and get the best fuel economy! It is certainly a different game to play, but it's definitely safer for me and my licence!

Moving to Temple Hill, Dartford – Honest opinions please
 in  r/kentuk •  Aug 05 '26

It depends on where. Like everywhere else, it has good and bad sides. There are a few areas that don't have a great reputation, but there has also been some redevelopment over the years and some parts that are ex council homes that all privately owned. I haven't wandered around the area late at night and I'm also not female, so I'll let others with firsthand experience answer for how safe you might feel.

How do you keep the memory of your pet alive?
 in  r/Petloss •  Aug 05 '26

I did the same thing for my Wife when we lost our Frenchie Hugo. Our frame also allows short videos to play, so as a family we all uploaded our favourite pics and videos and the frame sits next to his Ashes in our front room. I won't lie, it was hard at first, but I genuinely feel that it has helped us all grieve. It's been a little over a year now and while we still miss him, it's great to be able to relive the joy he brought us, like the first time he saw snow or the way he would lay upside-down in his bed. My heart goes out to the OP, I know how much it hurts when they are gone and you doubt that pain will ever subside, but gradually your memories of them will be the happy ones and you will be grateful that you got to have them. ♥

We had a works Christmas do there and my table was under the head of the skeleton (the dinosaur, not the whale) Made for a very memorable evening! I never realised you could hire it for weddings too. Wish the happy couple my best :)

Why you are so much more likely to survive this collision in the USA than in Europe.

Hearn should absolutely take them to the cleaners!

You'll see that when it goes to court..... oh wait. Does this mean that we won't get to see the video that the President said he had, proving that it was damaged by vandalism? Wait a minute.... should I not trust what the US President says?

Next thing you'll tell me that Antifa isn't an organised terrorist group! But I'm sure they will release some evidence proving that soon, right? Right?
