Glad you got sorted 🙂

Could be a sticking caliper piston. One way to tell if you have a sticking piston that keeps the brake pads rubbing on the disc is when youve parked up after a drive see if you can feel excess heat coming from any brake disc more than the others

Have you tried eBay for a second hand window or roof? The window is only bonded and stitched in place. Have you spoken to your insurance company regarding window replacement?

I'd suspect the antenna personally. But an update to software is no bad thing.

Sorry the part doesn't fit. Tats very frustrating

It needs a proper diagnosis for a garage.

Thought I'd share this as a road trip option for your thinking of a road trip in the US. Route 50 🚗 The Loneliest Road in America!🇺🇸 It’s the perfect road for an epic cross-country adventure, combining scenic beauty, history, and a touch of mystery! Here are some interesting facts: 1. Crosses the Entire U.S.: Route 50 stretches more than 3,000 miles from Ocean City, Maryland on the East Coast to Sacramento, California on the West. It’s one of the few highways that gives you a true coast-to-coast experience. 2. “Loneliest Road in America”: The highway earned this title in 1986 when Life Magazine dubbed the stretch through Nevada as such due to its remote, desolate landscapes. Ironically, it became a huge draw for adventure-seekers! 3. Historic Roots: Route 50 follows parts of The Lincoln Highway, America’s first transcontinental road, which was established in 1913. So, you’re literally driving along a piece of history. 4. Diverse Landscapes: Traveling Route 50 takes you through everything from bustling cities like Washington, D.C. and St. Louis, to the endless deserts of Nevada, to the majestic Rocky Mountains in Colorado. 5. Ghost Towns Galore: Especially in Nevada, you’ll pass by several ghost towns, remnants of the Old West’s mining boom, like Austin and Eureka, where time seems to stand still. 6. Highest Point: Route 50 crosses the Eisenhower Tunnel in Colorado, which is one of the highest points on the U.S. highway system at over 11,000 feet above sea level. 7. Mark Twain’s Inspiration: Nevada’s section of Route 50 runs through Virginia City, where Mark Twain began his career as a writer. You can visit his former haunts along the way. 8. Oceans & Mountains: Start your trip at the Atlantic Ocean in Maryland and, if you’re up for it, end near the Pacific Ocean in California—seeing everything in between.

Glad you got sorted 🙂

Glad you got sorted in the end 🙂

Could there be a leak in the exhaust?

eBay would be a good place to start but they won't be cheap. Alternatively you could get your silver ones wrapped

You're lucky you got them to do that!

You're welcome. I do admit the new Santa fe is a lovely looking vehicle both inside and out. Reminds me more like the old defender than the current defender!

I think you can buy them on eBay.

Mr

Yep any should fit, but I'd definitely recommend trying to get one of the same part number

Check eBay including international sellers

Design

The car itself has detected a leak so if definitely say it's the bag. If non were working then that'd be more likely the compressor but thankfully not in this case.

This is where them problem has risen in my opinion, from the dawn of the car there has been both petrol and electric vehicles, then diesel vehicles and odd hydrogen ones too. They all have their place and suit the users differently. The government trying to switch all users to one form of vehicle power use (electric) and this is the problem. Because telling someone like me who couldn't have an electric car due to practicality causes resistance and frustration.

Shouldn't be dropping to the floor. It needs a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up but does sound like a leaking suspension airbag.

Fears

You'll need to replace it.

I suppose the difference between a flammable petrol/diesel car Vs flammable electric car is that a petrol or diesel can be put out far easier. Which is a major consideration. In my opinion if the government had been serious about us all driving electric cars they would have been investing in the infrastructure 15 years ago. Ie charging points on new houses even 15 years ago. Baring in mind tis was possible as the Nissan leaf, vauxhall ampara etc have been around a long time. Same with investing in the charging points etc that long back too. Which makes me think two things. 1. Either the government want the vast majority of the public out of car ownership/usage as the infrastructure isn't their to charge 2 cars per household across the country (bare in mind the average household has 4 cars now). 2. Like they did the diesel cars in the 90s/noughties they persuaded people to buy them as they were cheaper to run and allegedly greener. Now further down the line they're telling us the opposite about diesels and telling us electric are the future. I bet this will change and they'll tell us electric cars aren't good for the environment and persuade people to switch to new tech such as synthetic fuel or hydrogen. At the end of the day it all depends on where our corrupt politicians have their money invested affects what they try and enforce or bring into effect on us. A good example of this was when the politicians invested in haulage, motorway construction companies etc in the 1950s/early 1960s then deliberately destroyed the rail industry by initially banning mixed freight then closing services which were vital to push people into cars. Beaching was the unused as the Scape goat. Bare in mind all towns and some villages had a rail yard where goods were unloaded then a Scammel scarab 3 wheeled lorry was used to transport the goods around the town or village.
