Its caused by the drive by wire lag. Perfectly normal

If i'm not mistaken, 1 year for mechanical parts such as window motor, starter, etc, 3 years for electrical and wiring, and 5 years only for engine and gearbox

This is true for all vehicles without ABS. A panic brake will cause your brake pads to clamp onto the discs, thus causing the wheels to lock and not move at all. Because of that, the car momentum will cause the car to skid, and the remaining braking power your car will have is between the tyres and the road, which isnt much if there is water in between them.

But with ABS, then it detects brake lock (car tyre not moving, even tho car is still moving), it'll kick in and start working. How it works? It takes over control of your brakes and releases it, so that the wheel can start spinning again and gain back traction with the road. It'll then brake in pulses, to allow the car to brake normally and slow the car down, but it does it in pulses because sometimes when it brakes, if it detects lock again, it will release the brake again.

So ABS is only activated when you do an emergency braking (panic brake). If you do not have ABS, then you have to drive with skill and never stomp on your brakes, so that your car wheels will not lock up and causing your car to skid.

Guys, any1 here had alarm problem before?

Just now for no reason, suddenly i can no longer arm the alarm. When i press as usual to lock the car, instead of 'tuut tuut' twice and lock, it goes 'tuut tuut tuut tuut tuut tuut' then stop, but no lock . And now i can no longer arm and lock the alarm

thanks for the reply!
i'll give that a try
come to think of it, right before this problem happened i opened and closed my boot lid

and you are right! got it fixed thanks to you bro
almost wanted to disconnect battery already to try as a solution

thanks again all!

A rock chipped my windscreen last night and now a long crack has appeared! >.<

What is the best and cheapest way to fix/replace it?

My saga blm antenna is gone

What is the cheapest replacement?

Yup . Guess it was inevitable. So easy to steal

Not as bad as your i guess but im having a cracked windscreen now too due to rock hitting it.
Gotta claim insurance to replace it. Holding out as long as possible tho

Anyone knows what are the cheaper ones that can fit the SAGA BLM?

It must've been quite a rock cause I'm using the tint which came with my stock saga BLM.
Maybe after this i should use security tint

Went to Brothers and got a cheap stock looking antenna. Slightly longer and thinner than the original Saga's, but cost RM28 only .
