I suspect the problem got something to do with your brake system. Although u depress the brake, it seems like your ECU didn't detect it at all & i also noticed that your brake light also didn't light up at the back (when u depress the brake). I think that's why your car cannot be started. This happen intermittently, so i do hope that the real problem can be rectified by the SC later on.
*
erm... the brake will be 'jammed up' i.e. become hard and cannot really press down, only if i can't start the car after 2 or 3 tries.

n guess what... today bring the car go jalan2... not a single issue.. lets see whether the problem comes back again now that i've swapped remote.

Or is it becoz of the 1st smart key getting out of battery? Could u lock/unlock your car from the distance using the first smart key? Though that problem yet to happen again, i still feels that something is wrong somewhere right?
*
i hope it's just that. hehe. but lock / unlock no problem with both keys. if out of battery, yesterday slot the remote into the hole under the push start button should have done the trick. tat didn't work either.

i still feel it has something to do with the brake system. need to pay a visit to SC and get it checked but like i said... problem intermittent. go SC most probably no issue shakehead.gif

wait till problem getting serious, then worth while to take a day leave for SC trip tongue.gif

Maybe got hidden message. Read between the lines. Moral of this episode, no point wasting $$$$ on nitrogen (Civic type R???)  unless ur racing???  tongue.gif
*
hehe. my take on the hidden message... no harm putting nitrogen into ur tyres. really up to u as mentioned by the guys.

see, 110km use 300ml less fuel. one full tank, if got 440km, u'll save a bout 1 liter of fuel (shell fuel saver anyone? tongue.gif)

tyre pressue will go down 1.5psi in 6 months. in simple & plain calculation let's say 1 month u pump 2 full tanks. in 6 months time that's 12 liter of fuel saved. more or less the cost of ur initial 20 bucks nitrogen gas.

the hidden savings if ur tyre is less prone to oxidation - unknown but sooner or later u'll change ur tyre anyway.

to put in N2 or not.... up to u la... no big deal icon_rolleyes.gif

by the way the tyre shop pumped 34 psi into my tyre instead of the recommended 32 psi. does it help in FC?

I've tried 32, 33, 34PSIs... insignificant difference, if any at all.

hehe if that's the case then the 300ml fuel difference might just be what the nitrogen does to the FC. biggrin.gif

guys, i think my forte might be the first one in LYNN that had the crack on windscreen problem. apparently, so far no forte in malaysia had that problem yet unlike in singapore. Anybody had this experience? What do i do?

when did u get ur car? parking under hot sun? indoor?
i think we can claim WS from SC if confirm it's defect right?
