Either you carry passengers or stuffs, or speeding more than 130kph, or Shell RON 95 sucks...

My windscreen just chipped by a stone coming out of nowhere at Kesas just now... Anybody replaced the windscreen before? how much does it cost? I have windscreen insurance but up to RM900 only. Even though have the insurance but my tint will have to re do.. I think better to leave it there since there is no crack.

A lot of ppl have reported getting stoned in Kesas...

Which portion of Kesas were you on...?

I'm heading towards subang. Just after the second toll reaching summit.

I think can claim from kesas. Try to call them. Been seeing cases where Alza forum member claim the insurance from highway authority.

In the process of claiming the last I read...

Stone vs Egg?

u can ask the repairman to mark up the windscreen in ur claim. u need to pakat with the repairman ask him do the tint along loh....this is what insurance guy will teach u... moac got same case but is cause by stone by the highway cut grass worker. he claim at plus office near by.
if small crack jz glue back u will not c any defect 1....

If I go on long distance within the city like KL-Klang using highway, I can get 8.2
If I go on long distance within peninsular like KL-Kuantan, I can get 7.6
Mostly city drive where there is a lot of cars and traffic lights, I get only 8.8

I don't think that AVG accurate ... my range from (7.7 to 9.1)

So I only count by amount of Fuel I pump full. Then divide by KM I used.

Latest 2 time get
1. RM0.14/KM (4 adult 2 kids, OTW back + 1 more adult) ( 80% highway, with VS + GC )

2. RM0.142 /KM (3 adult ) (80% highway, GC without VS )

Just for reference, I believe that road condition, Tyre pressure, weather all should count into it but ...susah lah .

Added on October 20, 2011, 7:46 pmStatic loaded radius, outer diameter and rolling circumference

These three measurements are all important to consider when talking about wheels and tyres. They're all interlinked. Straight from the manufacturer, a tyre is circular and it's outer diameter (OD) is based on this unladen, perfectly circular condition. Because tyres deform under load (flatter on the bottom than they are on the top when taking the weight of a car), the vertical radius of a tyre under load is not half the diameter. It's typically about 44% of it (from the centre of the wheel to the road). In addition, a tyre doesn't roll like a solid wheel; the steel or fabric belt 'rolls along the ground' like a caterpillar tank tread does. Because of this, the rolling circumference of the tyre isn't quite what you'd expect. The closest approximation for this value can be calculated by taking the outer diameter, subtracting twice the tread depth and multiplying by PI. Roughly speaking, that's 0.96 x OD x PI.

Now why is this magical value so important? If the rolling circumference changes because you've mismatched your new wheels and tyres, then your speedo will lose accuracy and the fuel consumption might go up. The latter reason is because the manufacturer built the engine/gearbox combo for a specific rolling circumference. Mess with this and the whole thing could start to fall down around you.

@n8210,

so all together spend how much??

I've always get the impression that Alza have serious alignment problems... Does that mean chamber screws are a must...?

Altogether is RM225 x 4 donuts lor. I didn't do the chamber screw. I recall another forummer say no need, no such thing. Anyone can confirm?
