I've just rung Hyundai,,,which I should have done before my purchase,,,to check that I can fit a 'poly air bag coil helper' to Lucy without voiding my warranty. Yes I can! That's a load off my mind. An i30 sits a bit low anyway, so add 590kg of caravan and it's a worry, although it's way under the breaked t...

I think it could be but only if we are honest. Ther were people in the park last night who refused to fill out one as they had filled it out last week before they left home.
