Hey bro, whats the purpose of installing this? to prevent your car terhit bumper?

synex
6" or 6.5" both fit. im using 6.5" for the front.

limadekad
FL and BLM are basically the same.

oh chain ar belt ar i duno, im not so technical.


my dad just called me up, our BLM got into some serious issue this morning. car left undriven for 3 days, then this morning cannot start. not about the battery, but the piston of the engine. mechanic came and put some WD40 at the piston ring there, few attempts to ignite, the engine move. mechanic says this issue is not new, there's an FL at our place, just on the road for 2 weeks, same issue like our 3 yo BLM. we did not proceed to COE for the warranty claim coz our ride is 3 yo, and we did not service at COE, and as well as using our self-brought engine oil for every treatment at the authorized SC.

piston cracked?

i cant see the exact location inthe engine bay (mayb bcoz seldom belek2 engine)... which part is it?

normally when doing corner/turn, the car body will roll to the other side... installing ARB (anti-roll bar) will reduce ur body roll for more stable cornering...

refer this pic.. both car taking corner, the right car has less body roll than the left car...


testimonial from my wife today, her body less dragged to the side when i'm taking corner... hehehehe... bini dah approve, selamattt~

Good for you Stay safe and hope that this will be your first and last accident with this car


All the BLMs, pre-FL or not are mechanically identical, save the 1.6 taxi model. I should think all of them use a timing belt.


Oh dear. Could the mechanic have forgotten to install some sensor?


This is really weird




Thanks for the pic. Quite a difference eh? Our BLM's stock ride and handling is pretty decent but I really wished it has less roll. Maybe this should be my next upgrade

@siuyi - piston jammed due to corrosion?

just behind the radiator. lower left

seems so? i have no idea if it was connected or not in the first place ><

It won't turn off after you've switched off the ignition, is that right?

yup. i know the campro got that feature, so i was kinda expecting it. but i didn't expect it to go on forever!

i juz checked my engine bay, the same area u mentioned and i compared the other visible parts... mine dun hav the gold pipe/valve... so i dunno what's that... ur radiator rear layout also not same 1...

really big difference... especially when u plus it with lowered suspension.. currently using sapura proride sport abs & spring + UR front upper strut + UR front lower ARB + UR rear lower bar/member brace bar...

result: terbaekk... i cant explain with words, need sum1 to drive and feel it..

need confirmation from other models... any1? takut the workshop didnt use the ori spec for ur replacement..

even my left side fog light looks different from my right side..

This is a weird problem. So the piston basically jammed?

I went overseas for 3 days and had my car parked at the basement car park during that time. So far no issues. Not sure how the piston could've gotten jammed. Or could it be some other problem?

Or maybe this is related to all those difficult to start engine cases we have? I think all of us have kena before, the engine difficult to start at one time or another.

So basically the fan keeps turning even after you turn off the engine and more than 10 mins? I suggest you take it back to the workshop. Seems like some sensor is missing or something.

later i'm going the workshop to find the fella liao

That's why they call me Slim Shady
(I'm Back)... I'm Back... (I'm Back)... I'm Back

car fixed



apparently the radiator fluid was low. foreman refilled and now it's fine

Gud to hear that, hope no more prob in d future...

For that price i'd rather get pennzoil platinum fully synthetic 5W-30.
And btw, sometimes my car is left for 5 days and so far there's no issues starting up my 1-year old car.
