  • Hyundai i30 - Spare Korea 14 Apr 2021 (Forum)
    engine brings up options and one website it brought up was Spare Korea. This is sourcing the part from Korea and shipping it to the UK which is significantly cheaper even if I've got to pay some import charges.

    not bothering to consider the Zafira.) Otherwise it's only a Mitsubishi Grandis which is rather old, or indeed an imported Honda, like an Odyssey (which drives very well.)
