Wat is it? Rubber lining? Not easy 2see in pics...sorry...

No worries... Edited liao...
Sincere apologies...was only trying 2help...

Gauge indication is juz a guide... Dun trust it too much!

Btw any1 installed Rear Anti-Roll Bar for BLMs/FLs? Any noticeable improvement? Pls share... cos Rear ARB (altho also 2 pt bar) is >2X cost (RM350) of Front Strut Bar!

Tks a meg for sharing yr xperience with those bars!
Will follow yr advice when budget permits.

How much wld the front lower member brace cost? Easy to fit? TQ in adv.

Try 2accelerate gradually when driving auto cars...& esp so for 1.3 BLMs/FLs. This way yr fc wld b better...cos flooring yr acc pedal each time gonna cost yu in fc!

Yup, hving slightly higher tyre pressures wld help improve fc!
Ps. It wld also similarly affect road grip esp in the wet, too.

Really true? My tank due 4a fill up soon la. Where I am got only ONE (1) BHP station near my plc!!

Juz wanna ask...
Has any1 (1.3 FL with Immobiliser) bought & activated a separate 3rd party alarm remote ctrl and deactivated the orig for the key by removing its battery? Will the Immo still work?

I plan to separate the Immobiliser fr the alarm remote cos very frequent accidental pressing of alarm buttons on key when in pocket ( no protective cover for alarm buttons on orig)!

If not wrong P2 Myvi is using combination like that.

Only 8.4k km? Bought NEW? And yu hv all those probs? Sincerely hope it's just pure bad luck...

Wonder if all that hype of Proton improving on its QC after revamp of top management and its new corporate direction & philosophy to win back Malaysians, are really being implemented....

From what I've heard fr frens & read in forums on the Net, Proton has appeared to hv improved in its products...esp 2b able to offer min 3-year warranty is no simple commitment, considering what one is only paying for Proton cars. True?

Pls correct me if wrong, ok?

Yup, as I'd posted earlier...might not be the petrol but more of the station...

Also the sensitivity of the auto-stop mechanism of pumps also dispense different amounts of petrol @filling time! I juz had 1 pump stopping after abt RM20+ but on continuing manually, I cld fill RM40+ ie almost double first try! Phew!

Petrol gauge showed still got 3 bars at start! Something fishy?

If that's the prob, then there's one way to overcome it.

There is a good feature in my ole ride...PS 1.5I Auto (1992). Whenever ignition is switched off while rad fan is on, the engine is stopped BUT the rad fan continues to work if engine temp is above normal working temp thereby lowering engine temp b4 it stops.

BLMs ignition switch turns ALL off!! That, I feel, is the root of the prob!

Is there a way a delay switch can be added to the rad fan circuit to keep it running until the engine temp is not above normal running temp? Maybe a relay controlled by the engine temp sensor?

Any elect tech mbers arnd who can help set up of such a relay? Shld b possible, rite?

Yup, Juz now Googled & saw lots on sale in lelong site! Not cheap either! But mainly used to continue run engine to cool down turbo.

And yup, installation diagram shown not simple task & need to get car model specific connectors for good safe install.

Shld find easier way... hehe...

Sometimes wonder why Proton ppl omit such good inexpensive features which were oledi in old Proton models!

Juz kenot understand such so-called "designers"!! 1 step forward and yet take 1 step backwards wan!

Agreed! Feel not worth the Puspakom hassle!

Change to better brake pads first. If want better improved braking, another mod I've done to my ole ride is a change to SS Reinforced Brake Hoses. Can instantly feel the difference in braking capability!

If wanna save $$$, do it the DIY way as taught in car forums. Of course, effect not as great as a change of better hoses.

Fan only runs if ignition is on "start car" position. But when key is turned to "Accesories" position, rad fan is shut down!

In old Sagas, as long as key is not removed, rad fan runs till temp is down.

Yup, car producers are doing biznes... So it's alwaz a question of economics. Economics of $$$! Do tell which biznesman not think of cost & profit...??

Izzit?

Will try 2rber 2keep an eye & also an ear out for that spinning rad fan...
