haih,ttoday really sueh,i go toyota 5000km servcie,i thought everything will be ok liao,then they say my air-cond got problem so they make it off and tell me go repair tomolo,this morning still ok.No aircond suffer la.WTF 3 months toyota vehicles run 4600km aircon rosak liao?I always face problem almost everytime i buy something eventhough i buy the branded one.Especially my computer,i buy the BEST one but it tends to rosak and go claim warranty.Then i go 4wd accessories to re-welding my spot light bracket bcos it is so thin when i buy it,yesterday i move and got craking sound so i paln go welding again,they say my front bar is cheap one,very thin,no use if i weld it again,may be some day it will leak again,then i really like WTH...........so just now remove the whole front bar myelf to remove the spot light and install it again bcos the screw it very near to my bumper so it is not easy put in spaner.

i hope i can get Bullbar if the price is reasonable.So far as i know,there is no suitable front bar for hilux,except converted from Nissan Frontier which mine also from frontier.

today really tulan,the foreman of UMWT blame me that i force the air-cond pipe to "geser" wif the suspension thing,he say i force it to near to there bcos i modify the thing,the pipe is under the air-filter(whole casing),how i can force the pipe to near the suspension thing?then he say i install HID and to easy install he say me remove the whole air-filter casing so that time accidentally or not accidentally i press on it,I never remove the air-filter before,WAt for?i install HID myself,i can install it without remove anything.Then he say impossible one,he say i sure remove it,then i really frust liao,i tell them install excaltly the same when i get the car,so i install it by myself without remove anything,then he "senyap".He just say he can dun give me "warantty" after modify something.But i say i sumpah i never remove it.Then another story,he say i remove the front bumper before and he also say there is an brken clip at the bumper there,i never remove the bumper,if i remove it ,then if i can't fix it up,so my car consider "sampah",i'm not "pengetuk mudguard"wat for i remove the mudguard?Y dun he say the clip broken is bcos when the time they open it.Luckily there is also one NEW Hilux that just register and going to drive by the owner,i see his one,the pipe is just half inch near(1-1.5cm).How can they blame me?
Let me show u all the pic

Wat i can say is UMWT is not good at all,thier management SUCKS,so hilux user beware,if ur air-cond pipe is also like that pls send to service center or make it higher than the usual

This faulty posiibly make by assembly plant themself or make foremen at the 1st 1000Km service,they do check the air-cond pipe

i already seen fortuner,i go check the air-cond pipe,it is the same ,not so far to the metal.Then just now i dare to try force the pipe to near the metal,it is very hard to force as the mouting is very firm.So i now thinking not waotrh let those cilaka foreman that no experience talk COCK to me,blame me somemore.Cilaka,even myself can know wat is the possibility of causes but those PARIA foremen talk non-sences,go back kampung tanam padi la.

Really not WORTH ,blame me,although i no need pay for the labour charge and replacement part.It bcos they don't admit that thier assembly plant create this problem,if they do,so UMWT jatuh standard.I is true that STAR newspaper say that Toyota get no.4th customer satisfaction,Nissan get 1st,Perodua 2nd,Honda 3rd.It really true,they think they are distributing Toyota car mean they don't have problem during assembly?They seem like everything they is perfect,nothing goes wrong.

Now i know y some car got 3years warranty,u all know why?Ane the price is so low compare to those years that one give 1 year warranty.It is bcos they just give out slight poor quality control QC so they can cut cost so car cheaper lo,if got problem then they warranty for u all lo,so if no problem then they can get rid off giving warranty.There is not harm that they giving out poor quality and they giving out warranty.Since they give 3years warranty so they not afraid customer will complain or even SUE them as they still give warranty.My house got one C200K,E200K (merc),Land Rover Discovery 2,Toyota HiluxSR turbo,Toyota hilux 2.8D,Toyota Vios.All these are new car,it always got problem,realy got problem,even my old Toyota corolla SEG also don't proble that happen wif these expensive and branded car.

Merc problem are Alternator(charging device),air-cond,underbody sound,egine cannot start,then even worst my dad C200K that day oil leaks and goes to the Computer Board(ECU) and ECU and wiring in the car need to be replace,luckily got 1 more months warranty,when the time my dad send for warranty they don't want give out warranty as it only have one month warranty.

About Land Rover,it is the same,air-cond spoilt,Alternator spoilt and underbody sound,the wiper rubber need to be change every 3 months bcos it cannot swipe well after 3 months,a pair of wiper rubber is about RM200.The maintainance fee is so HIGH.

About Toyota Hilus SR turbo,The engine cannnot start or sometimes engine dies on the road,then when turning got sound after so many times of repair,it still happen,Got one time,it cannot even start and need to be TOW.Toyota vios ler,same also,engine cannot start,need to be TOW,underbody also got problem.

BUT my Toyota Hilux 2.8D got no problem at all,just need change engine oil and fill wif diesel.

So,How u all feel ?Is That expensive car mean better?Except CBU(complete built unit).Those CBU sure good la.

got new Storm?can compete wif current available pick-up?Isuzu suree cannot beat FORD,TOYOTA,Nissan bcos it CC too high,no one will registered as private use,ROADTAX furthermore horsepower cannot beat Nissan Frontier(133PS) Dmax 130PS while 3.0L turbo-intercooler

i forget to share wif u all that last week i go KL for my gf sister convocation at Wisma MCA,it takes me about 1 hour and 10 minutes to arrive.I speed at 140-160 km/h constantly as that morning the highway was not much car.I clocked about 610 KM overall plus few KM town driving.
My Hilux consume about RM 0.10 per KM including some KM town driving.If we calculate 100% town driving,may be it is just 8 or 9 cents per KM on highway on constant speed 140-160 KM/H.Or we can conclude that whenever u driving in town,it consume extra 50% of FC at highways(160km/h) bcos my hilux town driving FC is RM 0.16 per KM.Furthermore,i didn't fill up diesel in the whole distance.I think we can go for 960 KM for highway running constantly at 160kph. (75 liter x RM1.281=RM 96.075 ; RM96.075 / RM0.10= 960.75KM )

We should calculate this bcos it is our MONEY!!!!!!!
So if the diesel price still going up,i can't imagine how much per KM we can get.Just to compare with my previous Toyota Corolla SEG 1.6 (89HP), my SEG consume about RM 0.11 per KM(highway) that time VPower is RM 1.48 per liter.My fuel tank can only support about 400KM,start my journey at Penang and i need fill up petrol at KL oledi.

i hope for u also

i'm thinking to make the rim to chrome and change to bigger tyres

But my dad tell me before that bigger tyres make the vehicles not stable and cost more fuel as more tyre surface touching the road.

If we looking to our Hilux,it seem that the tyres too small compare to the body,it really looks small.If i'm not mistaken,bigger tyres cost more $$ than Hilux original 255 tyres.I think my tyres will wear out very soon as i always make it "yek yek " when i running at 1st gear.It is just like swing my "long dragon tail".

that day i also want to install my woofer but no place to fix in.By then accessories shop tell me that the stock speaker are quite nice so i no change it to subwoofer and install amp.

now i also searching place to install amp and woofer,hand itchy la

Actually i got those good amp,woofer,subwoofer that i remove from my passenger car,but now i driving pick-up so not much place to put in ICE.

check for us wat can be added to our Hilux,Hilux rox!!!!!!!

that time i sleep from 12am to 12pm waiting for my Hilux,i always hope that my dad wake me up and saying ur hilux come liao,i sleep like that almost 2 months.Luckily i get it finally,if not,i dunno sleep until cannot wake up liao

About ICE,we can only put the Subwoofer behind the second row cushion or at the front L and R inside under the aircon output or under the front seat.The thickness of the woofeer should not exceed 3.5 inch so it is very hard to put in woofer then furthermore the woofer need box,how we can fix in the box eventhough we are not putting the big woofer box.The suitable woofer should be 8" or less.But the thickness i haven't measure yet.That day i'm thinking put computer speaker (Altec Lansing) inside bcos i got 220V inverter and i just adjust the volume for the speaker and the input is front both front or rear speaker.But i really lazy to do that.

peel fresh i think u should change to those expensive engine oil For example Castrol SLX if i'm not mistaken,one 4 liter cost about RM1++.My dad's Harrier using it,it really made improvement.


Just now i just check the speaker,if i'm going to change the 6.5" speaker at front and rear,it might be cause problem for me bcos if we remove the stock speaker means remove all the casing of the speaker,so we cannot fix in the new speaker without casing,without casing the magnet of the speaker will block the window glass when moving.Then ,this morning i take out the centre console plastic which is the audio head-unit
and the air-con controller.The stock audio HU is only wif normal output and it is without RCA output.So we can not connect Amplifier for our speaker.About the woofer,i really can't find a proper place to fix it in.

This evening i see one KL plate Hilux wif canopy,bug-guard,front left side mirror, front bar,JAOS sticker.It really look "chio" really ganas,not bad compare to Fortuner.
I'm thinking to get those thing for my Hilux,really need make it look like sporty pick-up truck

that one i dunno la,i think u should find the proper mechanic.ISUZU is always got tap-tap sound bcos it's engine is running timing chain,rite?.Does the mechanic know know about this?I got encounter once that the tyre shop person tell me that my front wheel brake "jammed" and the lift-up the car and turn the wheel and he show me the wheel is so hard to turn so mean ur brake jammed liao.Luckily i'm not that stupid,my car front wheel drve,it is for sure feel hard to turn the wheel la, then he say my absorber spoilt liao bcos he see something wet on the absober there,actually the wet place is water that comes when we go tru water.Did u all find out that this is WTF tyres shop.The shop is at Batu Berendam,Melaka,near Infineon.The sucker tell me this and that is not he BOSS,before i go once but the boss serve me,quite ok also but he didn't say this and that rosak.
