Is there an issue with the Kia Sorento's suspension?

Hi, I recently bought the current model Kia Sorento (1,000km on the clock). It's a very nice looking vehicle. I have a similar issue as Ciaran has reported. There is a large bang travelling through the doors when going over road humps.

The clearance between the suspension plate and the rubber dampers is approximately 25- to 30mm. I feel that there is not much room for the suspension to move before touching the dampers hence large bang when hitting road humps. I have reported the matter to Kia Motors and await their reply. In the meantime if anything comes through your way please do inform me. Thanks

Does my Ford Mondeo Estate have a timing belt?

Hi. I own a 2001 Ford Mondeo Ghia X Estate 2.0-litre petrol automatic. My question is, does my car have a timing belt or timing chain? I have owned the car for five years now and had it regularly serviced, but no one has mentioned a timing belt or that it may need replacing, so I thought I would ask you guys.

Hyundai i40 Tourer or Peugeot 5008?

I am looking to change my car and need something with more space. I have looked at and test driven the Hyundai i40 Tourer and the Peugeot 5008. The 5008 has more space, but I am drawn to the i40 as it drives and appears better. Can you enlighten me as to which you feel is the better car?
