• Ask Smithy Xtra Remote lock fail

  Problems with central locking systems are not unusual, have a locksmith check it. Most locksmiths nowadays have the capability of coding keys for most popular models, and they’re usually much cheaper than the dealers.

• Too close for comfort

  A SPEEDO must not indicate a speed lower than the actual speed, but it can indicate a speed higher than the speed within a tolerance of 10 per cent plus 4km/h. Your car seems to fall within that tolerance. The check you have done against the highway speed indicator suggests that it is within the band laid down by the ADR, and the check against your husband's car confirms that result. The dealer check is confusing, but also seems to confirm the other two results, in that when your speedo is showing 100km/h your car is actually doing 95km/h.

• Speed trap

  I'M NOT surprised Hyundai wasn't interested. To change a speedo face is a big job. Unless it has received a flood of complaints, the company is hardly likely to do anything. You should have checked it during the test drive. You signed on the dotted line. You should have made sure the car was what you wanted before you bought it.
