Re: Fresh to Kia

The van-like people carrier is a relatively new addition to the KIA UK lineup; I had to check up the model designation, but I think that's it.


I don't know how well it handles or whether it gets decent gas mileage in these era of electric vehicles, but if it's constructed to KIA's typical level ...

Have no clue what over-the-air upgrades cost

So, when I go into the store to buy Stonic accessories, I see three options: one costs £85 and includes online maps and OTA updates; another costs £25 and includes entertainment updates; and a third costs £75 and includes map and entertainment updates. What gives?

Choice 1: £85 for downloadable ...

Re: Digital Rechargeable

Thanks, but I'm still confused about the meaning of this notice on my car's dashboard.
I thought the same thing—that driving would charge and pair the battery—so I swapped it out.
This problem is described as a hard system malfunction that, according to certain forums and comments, occasionally ...

Warning: "Emergency Call system unavailable" appears in the error message.
After changing the telematics battery, the notification disappeared for a moment before reappearing.


Will the ECU display any hidden fault codes as a result of this?
Is it necessary to delete error codes?

Re: Got my space saver at last!

Incredibly grateful.
Given the price of two new tyres (£440) and a space saver and jack (£257), I was hoping to obtain one for a few pounds less.
I could find a pre-owned Freelander that matches your description (LR095552).

Got my space saver at last!

It was finally too much, so I bought a 19" space saver.
This followed a pothole impact that damaged one tyre after using both rear wheels.
The good news is that the rims and tires are unharmed. Just got two new tires 😓

Is anyone able ...

Re: Squeaking at low speed while fully locked into the right side?
