Hello All
As a UK member I have noticed a decline in the number of Elantra's coming on sale in the UK. Where have they gone? Are they being kept by their owners or are they being scrapped? At present there are only about 6 2.0 ltr petrol CDX on the second hand market. Most of the CDX on sale here are diesels, why I don't know. I have been thinking of getting another car, mine needs; cam belt, front discs, front to rear brake pipes and some body work. Although I,ve looked hard there doesn't seem to be any other car that ticks the same boxes. The only one that's come close in my opinion is a Sonata. Being keen on classic cars, I have a 1966 MK3 Ford Zodiac, I have also been thinking of keeping the XD and treating more as a preserved classic, after all, from reading this forum there seems to be plenty of life left in it at 116,450 miles. Structurally it is 100%, probably the best car I've ever seen in that respect. And I've given it a new lease of life by fitting an Genuine throttle position sensor. The previous sensor came from Ebay and was obviously faulty from the moment I put it on. The car needs some trim parts, but the local dealer seems very helpful so I will be making some enquiries there. Also given that after market parts are coming down in price I'm rapidly coming around to keeping it. Especially as I've never seen such a following for a particular model of car. One thing I could really do with is an accurate source of part numbers if anyone knows of one. -------------------- A proud member of the club.
