guys, how many sprk plugs do we have in the BLM? Plus, which type is better for use on our cars? Will there be any difference if we change the spark plug? Reason being, i gotta do major service within the next week and it's gonna kill me. Might as well make it worth while. smile.gif

based on booklet is every 20k KM
and that is how much the spark plug can last as well
unless u use platinum or iridium

If, however, yu've changed to eg Iridium types, then yu need 2change yr spark plugs only after 100k km!! wink.gif

old men doesn't have any knowledge on car la
they dn't service their car at all which will cause alot of problem to newer cars
they lucky cars last time is very tahan lasak...didn't change also ok
nowadays..if u dn't properly service or protect your car...problems will come
your car lifespan will be shorten
just like my dad...he didn't service very often at all....result in the GB kaput
but thank god he got old version car...long time didn't service also still ok
but recently i service his car...i can feel the difference...the engine now so silent...be4 is very rough

and i hear alot of old man have this kind of "service car" knowledge which i dn't know they learn from where
their service knowledge is
1st service add 5000KM
2nd service add 10000KM
3rd service add 20000KM
and so on so on...just add add add
the older the car gets...the less service
that's why they dn't service their so much
my dad's car last service is 50000KM ago...somemore the car shop go write it like that...they just add 50000KM into it
*
ehm...my friend happens to be a dude that's 26yrs of age and he pushes the car to its limits cause he loves to drive and used to race. brows.gif brows.gif brows.gif he's not old enough to be old man yet biggrin.gif biggrin.gif and he still does service his car regularly and on time thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Well, they do have schedule. The Saga FL just came out recently and we're even getting an official 1.6 Saga FL. Don't expect any major changes after this until maybe 2.5 years later, unless Proton want's to suddenly change their product life cycle from 5 years to 3 years.

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that the CVT Saga we saw is just a mule for them to test the new CVT transmissions they are getting for future models. Proton did announce that they are changing transmission suppliers to get more flexibility with gear ratios and also CVT. They might be testing that now.
I bought mine early last year also I feel butthurt wei ... imagine those who bought it recently. sweat.gif
It's still to early to tell. No one owns one yet. Check out those auto Persona IAFMs and see what's their FC lar. The Saga should be better than that due to better power to weight ratio. Assuming they didn't change the gear ratios lar.
Thanks for sharing!!! I'm sure it'll be useful info for the FL owners.

I get butthurt even though mine is a year old model sad.gif sad.gif sad.gif

Mayb nxt time do ask yr mech for reason?
Kenot understand how a good branded oil of correct grade can cause serious damage to any engine... sad.gif

[/quote]


If i rmb correctly, ppl bring their own castrol but damn horrible grade wan. so it corrodes the inside of the engine. good branded is good branded but dunno why the oil they bring was either too thick of something so it just kills the car then later they have to clean out the whole engine. brows.gif brows.gif brows.gif

Hi guys. Does your car have this problem where the black stain keeps appearing from the door handle and the side mirror? Please refer to the pictures attached.

the stain is not very obvious at the 2nd pic but usually it is very obvious.  sad.gif
btw, please add my name to the proud user list..  biggrin.gif
*
from my point of view, looks like dirt that got inside your handle area decided to get washed out. It's even more obvious if you have a white car tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif

it is hard to break but drum brake itself have many issue
it has too many component inside...and hard to fix
disc brake is easier to fix and identify


Added on June 4, 2011, 2:29 pm
it doesn't
but it gives us peace of mind...none of that eat 1 side, loose handbrake etc problem
if use disc brake...totally will not have those problem

insuflex, i dare not say it is 100% effective, but at least it is better then nothing at all. as for the door rubber line which im using, a thicker version to replace the oem rubber line, the door closing sounds tighter, like persona door."kup", not "pang"..that rubber line really is a catch and my family likes it alot.worth the buck.

SiuYi, you use the P or D type rubber for the doors? I actually saw those two being sold by the same seller but I dunno which is better and why. lol Insuflex mostly DIY rite?
