Hah, I understand what you mean. I have the same problem with my van. But the van is more than 10 years old. Right now I am trying to get this fixed. But quite difficult because it only happens when the temp is high. So that means I have to drive until the temp is very hot, then only can go mechanics there to show them. But always, when I am free can go mechanics there, the weather is cooler, or the engine temp is not so hot. So the "problem" does not appear.

Anyhow, I forgot to mention, when we open the van carburator yesterdya, it was very dirty. All black inside. So we used chemical spray to clean it. It shows the Esso BRP that I have been using to pump RM3,010 worth of petrol (from smiles point record) is giving me "dirty" oil.

I want to show off.... show off my rusty dusty. P2 service center told me to put the car there for 3 days and they will:-
-use sand paper to remove the rust
-then repaint the area

And my battery RIP today. When they check, they told me wife the battery totally empty. So they check the alternator, but it can charge properly. So...??? Can charge but battery empty? Me wife ended up buying the P2 MF battery for RM190.

E, I have solved my jerking with aircon problem on my van, not Alza, cos my Alza don't hv such prob. Attached is a not so good contact point. I don't know what was replaced inside, but my mechanic told me he installed "white gold" contact point. Now it starts like a new car, runs like one, perhaps even faster than Alza. Pick up stronger than ever before... so obviously no more jerking when I full blast the aircon until my fake teeth comes out.

Pictures?

Yalor, so last minute. I'm not in town also. Aiya.... aiya.... aiyaya.... aiyayaya..... aiaiya..... aiaiyaya....

Yah, stuck at the same situation with XM tyres. Engine noise above 110kph. Aircon also... now I'm thinking should I change, go test drive the new Avanza.

Thinking stage, you must have a need then only see what is available to make things happen.

Thinking of a vw....

My XM2 starts to become noisy already.

XM2 is built to last, not less noise. But agree, a bit fast.... need to check my records to see how many km hv i covered with the XM2.

My SC says if use non-P2 oil, warranty no more

wow... but expensive

Take some pictures of the tyre. I might be able to hook you up.

ya.... must mention size of tyre with price, otherwise can get very confusing.

anyway, rubber price is always fluctuating. i think there is more rain this year, so price of rubber should go up because harvest is less. also china stock up a lot of rubber each year, that drives rubber prices up too. luckily gloves industry now uses less rubber because synthetic rubber market / demand is increasing year after year, also with the help of lower / more competitive synthetic rubber prices. but china alone, imagine their need for shoes, tyres, gloves, tubes, and other rubber products... millions of it. Then we have India, Brazil... although rubber trees came from Brazil, but nowadays Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia produces the most rubber in the world.

ckhoon, your location? can come over to sg buloh?

Hmm.... got feedback. M5 in low "depression" now. Not many customers interested in M5, that's the reason for the low price. Now for lower price range, there are many brands and quality, from nearby Indon and Thai brands, also from far China and Korea.

I guess it says a lot about local companies, which supposed to have lower setup cost, lower transport cost, lower material cost, but after add in their CEO cost, management cost, annual dinner cost, travelling cost, company car cost, luxury escape cost, hamper and gifts cost, other hidden cost... malaysian products becomes more expensive than imports!!

No wonder my car cost so much, my house cost much more!!

material did you use on roofing?

Mine already over 27k, 18 months

Gd luck guys. Miss you all. Sold my Alza for a Honda Accord. A bit low on the ground but does great at corners!!

I sold my premium2010za for RM59,999
