Well it's been 12 years since I bought my i30 new and it's still going strong. The only thing I've improved recently is to replace the headlights with LEDs, polish the headlights with a 3M kit (see before and after pics) and replace the clogged windshield washer jets with some cheapies from eBay.

Best car I've ever had. Next one will be an EV (in 2032 at this rate).

Good job, mate. I love my 2009 SLX CRDi just as much and she's been sporting a quite few enhancements for added pleasure.

And happy birthday!

It's done 132000 km so far. My guess is about another 300000 km left for the engine, but if history is anything to go by somebody will crash into me before then :)

Happy birthday mate and great to hear that your car has been solid for so many years. Here's to many more where hopefully other drivers don't play bumper cars with your i30   :drinks:
