Do pls share results of yr use of "ceramic NAO" pads, ok?

ATM my FL's OEM pads appears ok w/o much dust. 1 week not wash still ok. Dunno wat brand it really is tho. Any1 knows?

OEMs are a compromise between functionality & cost. More inclined towards affordability for the common Msian car owner.

Moreover most BLMs are not modded for Sports use. Not worth gping for high end stuff. True?

Feel if wanna replace, juz go for a tad higher quality stuff shld b good enuf.

Ya lo...since yu're gonna install a good tint finally, dun waste good $$$ on doing the cheap tint inbetween. A real waste!

Yup, go straight do the BEST tint yu can afford and dun look back! Enjoy....

Yup, in everything yu do, alwaz rber YOU are the Paymaster!! Yr $$$$!

So do watever makes yu happy yu got yr money's worth...not need to follow anyone wan...

Yup, there's alwaz the correct & wrong way of opening any door. However, it's "paiseh" to tell yr "passengers" how to open yr car door...unless yu wanna b like their "driver" & open for them? Haha!

If quality good, then also not easy to break eg Merz? However, BLM's are chromed plastic handles if not wrong...not real metal ones! Sorry...

AFAIK service intervals are acc2 Km travelled with an alternative in months. Sooner if vehicle is used in very polluted/dusty areas.

Most SCs give nxt service due as in Odometer reading ie in Km.

However, if distance travelled is very much less in spite of time passed eg 5Km or 3 mths, then the 3 mths due date is advisable.

Finally, it's also a matter of yr pocket vs yr love of yr ride...

Yup, wat is important & relevant here is not no. of layers but the VLT...yu can hv 1 layer with colour tint & 2nd layer of IR/UV reflective tint which conbined passes legal limit.
True?

That item is only useful for smokers!!

Mine came fitted into the rear drink holder behind the brake lever.

Yup, it comes ori...oledi installed when took delivery of car. And yup, it came with a warranty card with date, etc written on the card. 5 years warranty.

ps. Also asked Proton staff at promos in Malls....tinting is part of optional accessories package ie not the compulsory ones by law.

Bardahl wat? Engine oil? Oil treatment additive eg Bardahl 1?

Engine oil...no xperience...sorry.

Oil treatment additive eg Bardahl 1...was using most of the time in my ole ride. Thinking of doing same for new 1.3FL.

However, got different views on usefulness/effectiveness on its use. Any comments fr xperience? TQ!

Any "insider" to confirm such wrong-doings?

We've all heard (and can "feel" with our cars) of such so-called "adulteration" of petrol BUT no news of any action taken...

Long ago it was with kerosene, then they coloured it...and later not worth it cos of xpensive kerosene!

Now water??? Phew!

Below are pics of the multipurpose container accessory (incl in FL Exec AT) as "promised"...?

Found the way to post a bigger pic...hehe...


So is it an ashtray? Can put coins? Or what else can it be used for? Any ideas...suggestions? ATM it is useless for me...

Dun think new car or else covered by warranty. Dun think our fren wld pay if new & under warranty. True?

Added on June 16, 2011, 1:01 pmSorry...my bad! Din get 2read latest posts!

Yup, when suspension mod oledi eg springs or abs, then warrany is void!!

Yu call that "kesian"?? Yu shld feel very proud that those 2 "loveflies(?)" chose yr ride 2b their ride!! Haha!

Frankly, if Pre-Delivery staff do their work as they should, all new cars delivered shld b w/o any probs wan!!

Unfortunately there will alwaz b those ppl who do not take their work seriously nor understand the implications of their slack in their responsibilities ie not working for what they are being paid to do!

Dun think using rear demister wld cause that. I had 3M tint on all windows for myvold ride. I also used the demister quite often. No bubbles.

The only effect (after >15 years) was the lines of the heater element became more "prominent"...

IMHO Bubbling mainly due2 poor quality tint +/- poor workmanship?

Different FC shown at different fuel gauge bars probably due2 shape of fuel tank...my 2 sen nia.

Added on June 17, 2011, 11:33 amYup, sleepwalker, probably true. But if tint more than 5 years (mine >15) then time 2change.

If tint & workmanship high stds then mayb lasts longer. Other factors come into play as well eg length of time each time demister switched on, etc.

Which fuse blew? Each time yu changed battery? Dat wld b an indication of source of prob...

Yup, no car = no legs!
