blinking? no. but both handbrake and ABS came out, i did. ask her to send for a check bro. don't play around with brake system

i'm not sure what is the buzzing sound to be honest.

but, i can tell you how to check the 'alternator'.

you start the engine, then you disconnect the battery. if the engine is still running while the battery is disconnected, the alternator is just fine. so, you might want to check on something else.

however, if the engine stalled once the battery is disconnected, yes, the alternator is kaput already.

hope that helps.

alternator will cost you around 300-400 perhaps? it could be more as i'm not sure. might want to call the spare part shop. if the car is no more under warranty, get the alternator from outside spare part shop and let your mechanic install it.

you have to turn the steering wheel a little bit and not let it get 'stuck' if you know what i mean. sort of holding the steering wheel off the 'lock' point and then turn the key.

@Aurora Boreali : you're welcome. glad i could help

anyway guys, i have a question to all of you. have any of you guys got experience with washing the engine bay? do you have any place to recommend that can wash the engine bay clean and the car is still fine after it?

i've got experience washing the engine bay of my grandfather's wira at my hometown in kelantan. 3-4 times a year , the carwash was good coz the engine is fine until now

Crap. I forgot that you've told me about this before. Hahahaha

from the look of it, you can solve it with just polish. buy them at hardwre store and spend an hour or two polishing the driver's door or half day for the whole car and it will be better.

What is the tire size you're looking for?

For a new pair of 14" tires, they won't exceed RM300 for both, you can get RM300 including installation and balancing even at some shop.

hahah. i always read the conversations at saga there but never reply. here you won't be getting much reply i think

all hiding with our cars. we only come out when there's a problem with our baby and looking for the solution

hahaha. we are not as active as you guys. look at our thread, only V4. those guys in saga and myvi all gone to V 'million' alraedy, more than 'a vent and a door' one

hahaha. maybe. but i still prefer saga over viva. most probably going to replace my elite soon. neo manual 2nd hand maybe. last time went to sepang track day with my elite i felt 'tak puas'.

not satisfied with campro is it?

those lines will only come out if you turn on your headlight. go to to that mode, hold the 'stick' and wait for what happens next. your car will become a batmobile!

you sure want to join bro? last december i did join with my elite auto. currently the setup is still the same as that december trackday. but for 20th may. hurmm...anything can happen . hehehhehe. i will confirm to you in 2 weeks ?

easy and free method is :
1. check your battery connections, make sure they are tighly connected and is not dirty.

or else, just like chrislyv said. clean your TB. did you service your car as per schedule?

yours is viva auto 1.0 with ABS or not? EZi?

if EZi, it has ABS equipped. with stock tyres, your ABS will surely kicks in even if the road is dry.

if not, do like what chrislyv said. skim your disc

i'll make payment in 5-6 days. i need to sort out something.

Aiyaaa...sorry la. Haha. Ingat bro dah xmain track, maklumla nak support green ! Hahahahahha

You do know that the last 2 options you wrote there come with 1.0L only right ?

If you do, then ask yourself these :
1. What do you need it for?

Short distance without the need of extra features and safety features and to save money = go for normal one.

Short distance with skirting but without safety features = elite auto EZ. (EZi is full spec with safety features and everything.

Exclusive = if you don't mind spending the huge amount of money on a viva. (The money for exclusive can give you a saga with bigger space,bigger boot,more power engine, more stable on highway and long journey.

what did you mean by tilt to the driver side?

can you please elaborate more? eg : was it during highway cruising, hard cornering, stand still , and etc.

that is your absorber mounting kaput. have the front pair change. i suggest to use Myvi absorber mounting. RM120 if i'm not mistaken, that's from Perodua SC.

i am . i'm using 15'x6.5jj with 175/50/R15 tires.

what did you mean by driving experience ? i do feel a little more stable than my old 14' elite rims tho. but that could be due to the fact that i've got UR bars installed for the whole car and also GAB spring.
