From my experience riding on persona se, It's quite comfortable, I think it's slightly better than my waja... even the gearchange is much smoother(AT).

Eh??? I'll try to check my brother car when he get back .

Hey guys, last few days my 1.x years old persona started giving out weird screeching sounds from the front wheel area...this is different from the knocking sound from the front wheel that is so famous in the persona when going over bumps. This sound is a screeching sound and it happens even when travelling on a perfectly smooth road. however, the sound seems to be quite random. When i'm driving, 50% of the time i can hear the sound and the other 50% the car is normal.

Anyone ever encountered the same problem? My car is in the SC now being troubleshooted..hope they find the problem lol. Thanks abunch for your input.

Update: The SC says that my brake pads are worn out..need to replace..the options are
ORI set : bosch - RM 350 (too exp)
Locus (not sure of name) : RM 140, never heard of it before, any input?
Mintye : RM 100 but not goin to go for this as it has bad reviews.

So i told him that i want to buy my own pads and let him install. He says service charge is RM 50. Is this reasonable?
Btw, i'm looking to buy a Rapid Stop pair. Do you know where i can get a pair of this quick? does ENEOS@ 1 utama carry this brand? And may i know the estimated price for RS pads? Thank you.

screeching sound? can it be the brakes are not properly released and still touching the disc?

is your ride lowered? maybe the car tyre touching the chassis?

It's 33,000 km since i got my ride. No problem so far. Unless all this while the brakes not properly released? My ride is unmodified, everything is stock standard. btw, i've updated my original post with the input from the SC. Any further advice?

It is Lucas DON, Lucas all also not bad..acceptable quality. If i had the money, i would go for EBC..

Screeching sound? Is it the brake pad wear indicator(metal) squeek..?

Yeah i just went over to the SC during lunch time and confirmed it. It's Lucas. But what does DON mean? Is it the pad model? How much for a EBC pad? my budget is max RM 150 wor. Also, may i ask where to buy those brake pads? such as RS, Bendix, EBC? preferably within PJ area. Does ENEOS @ 1 Utama carry those brands? Thanks in advance...

Can somebody clarify if the driver side windows suppose to have auto for both going up & down?

Mine seems to only have auto going down, have to hold the button to wind it up. Am i missing something?

auto down, up manually....all latest proton models are design this way....

yup.. agreed....
safety reason i think.....
xperience 1st hand in my mother avanza,
auto up causing my little cousin hand tersepit after byr tol.. no sensor to told the window to stop...

unlike livina, it has sensor (if i not mistaken) la...

DON is a brand. It is a reputable and good brand but i don't see it anymore?? i think they stop their own brand and oem for other makers?

BENDIX..either Metal King titanium or CT General titanium stripe..cost around rm120 for front.

RS - You can search at garage sales-automotive forum..

EBC Black stuff..around rm180..
EBC Green stuff...rm400 this is good stuff..

FeRoDo ZeRo - around rm110. Abit noisy..

The least I go is when the meter shown about 30. Anyway, my fren told me that better pump petrol before yellow light.
if always under tank (< 50), will easily cause the fuel meter rosak.

Sorry ya, maybe i miss out some reply here

Another Q.. do we need to run any keygen as per mobile phone installation to crack the Garmin or Papago??

This post has been edited by nofear1979: Oct 5 2009, 11:55 PM

The two files are for PaPaGO X3, you may use either one (No key needed). And YES, for Garmin, you need different key for different SD cards or devices.

Thank you for your input. I checked with an accesorries shop. Quoted me RM 110 for Bendix Metal King Titanium. So i placed an order with him. This model should be okay right? with adequate stopping power and long life. however, based on reviews i read, the Bendix MKT is harsh on the discs? how true is this may i know? Have you tried using MKT before?

Next up, installation. The proton SC quoted me RM 40 for installation. Is this a fair price? or can i do it elsewhere for much cheaper?

Thanks in advance for your kind assistance ralf bro.

Helo guys,

Im new here, owned a 2007 M/T , m line persona.

Just like to know if any of you installed a K&N drop in filter?
Im hoping it will smoothen the rpm range of 2000-2300. My car have a rather harsh note on that rpm which coincides with the torque curve.
