Hah... We did the same thing extracting the bent T18 last weekend... Except we were so far out in the boonies we needed a 4WD truck with a 9 metre HIAB...
What you have there is a female 4AGE.
Nothing you can do or say will make it start when YOU want it to, best you can hope for is that its in a good mood at the time.
Try giving it chocolate.
Hyundai have come a looooong way since the X3 Excel.
Toyota and VW (the big volume players globally) are justifiably concerned, as well they should be.

I've seen higher quality interiors come from Korea... And that's saying something.
We also have a VW Caddy as a backup van. Its been fairly reliable (if not awful to drive) but we need a bigger one. Guess what we're getting?
Hyundai iLoad.
Yup... Hyundai. 15 grand less than a Hiace or Vito, very few negative reports from owners thus far.
Still replacing the Vito with a Hiace though.
PCD around the world is a headf*ck.
Early rollas, metric. (4x110)
Late rwd, imperial (4x114.3/4.5")
FWD, metric. (4/5x100mm)
Then if you head over to Europe its all over the place... 108 is 4.25", but then there's 120mm, 112mm, 98mm...
I'm curious to know why that's still the case.
Can we just blame the yanks (as per usual) for stubbornly clinging to their arbitrary and increasingly irrelevant system of measurement instead of adopting the globally recognised and universal base-10 metric system? I mean its just them and Burma really. Surely the rest of the planet could politely tell them to get a wriggle on.
PS. How many rods to the hogshead does one of those bad boys get
