Rusa van?

Rusa van got 1.6L model lah

I'm normally down to three bars at 200 km.

BHP? (Have you managed to hit 400+ yet?)

I used to fill RON 97 back in the days when it was cheaper. No difference in consumption compared to RON 95.

That's my regular fuel nowadays. Pretty decent, I think. Urgh I'm so jealous now . I'd like to do a long distance trip soon, I haven't driven outside this island for quite a few months already.

I love my SE's leather seats

No, it's a four speed auto. Same engine system, yes. It's a 1.6 Campro with IAFM.

Mine is just seven months old. Also 13k

Anyone knows how to raise the accelerator? I want to practice heel and toe but the pedal is too low

I wouldn't know. I've never driven any other Protons other than my own BLM and my friend's ancient Saga.

Anyway there is a screw attaching the pedal rod to the throttle position sensor. I'm sure if I can loosen it then I can adjust the height of the pedal. The only problem is the screw shape seems proprietary.

There are no differences besides the engine, gearbox (different ratios, possibly), rims and the red stripe. Prices? Check here.

Your consumption is

Where do you drive?

Um, it won't lock automatically unless you disarm the alarm but don't open any doors / the boot. So, no surprise that the door did not lock by itself.

PS My alarm also won't lock automatically

1. Always make an appointment.

2. Go first thing in the morning. 8 am.

Mine broke too, last Saturday. First time

My father reversed out of the house, I was watching from upstairs. When he shifted to first I heard a very loud "ting" and suspected it was broken then Of course he blames me for it because I always trash my gear lever, even though it happened while he was driving

I know right. It caused me a bit of shifting problems initially Now I've got used to it.

I think there are two springs. There is still tension if you move the stick to the right for fifth and reverse. But it will goyang leftwards without tension.

You can test my 100% stock BLM if you ever come to Penang Or when I move to KL later this year

1. Your car is still new, consumption will become stable around 10,000 km

2. Auto or manual?

3. The warning light comes on when you have about 10-11 litres left. It's safe to drive another ~50 km with the warning light on.

4. City? Highway? Traffic jams kill the consumption greatly.

5. Forget about the fuel gauge to measure your consumption. Fill the tank to the brim until the nozzle trips, reset the trip meter, drive until the next time you fill up, fill to the brim again, take the amount of fuel and divide it with the distance. Then only you can compare your consumption with others.

6. How light is your right foot? If you rev kaw kaw every time to hit the 80-90 km/h then sure your consumption will suffer.

7. Checked your tyre pressure?
