Fog lamp + airduct cover + mounting for BLM @ RM120, not sure whether its cheap. Will be visiting supplier during school holiday.

For normal square(think u mean rectangular HELLA style), not sure abt price. It WAS 25bucks a decade ago. Will have to visit the bugger & check out the price.

Kenji, if u know the price, pls also provide your input. I don't know whether imy price is reasonable as I only get my supply from the same fella all the time.

i need square types, for my ISWARA, not saga blm. the iswara u saw tat day, that iswara. just need bright bulbs (prefer H3 bulbs foglamps). cheap is the main issue now. lalalal~

Square... Sure got, but you'll be cursing initial D since AE86 uses that, so the price got fried until skyhigh ady. May be the bugger will give me a slightly "NORMAL" price for a square foglamp, which all GOROLLA bugger dying to own 1. Not sure abt the price now, SMS u when I get the juice.

my place here i dun think got... lols...

yup.sumting like that one initialD using. yellow cover if posible. i need cheap 1 with H3 bulb the best. thanks bro.

Guys~

I got my new saga flx 1.3 manual a month plus ago..
this evening around 6pm when I wanna go out for dinner, this problem occurred.

I approached the car, pressing the remote buttons to unlock the car. To my surprise, the car won't unlock at all..
I tried to press the panic alarm button, no sound.
tried again to press the lock/unlock button, no sound, no response.

Then i used the key to open the driver's door. Put the key inside. The car tripmeter lights up, but showing no numbers. Other icons got lights also.. So it seems very normal.. But then when i tried to twist the key, the car simply won't start.

So I suspected that i might have a drained battery..
Then i went to check my headlights switch.. it was in the OFF position, check Aircon switch, also off position..
So it's impossible for me to leave the headlights on overnight.
And in fact I was able to start the car when i drove out for breakfast and lunch earlier today!
That time no such problem at all.. pretty weird..


instead, this is what i get.

the dashboard lights keep blinking. When i open the engine hood, there was some "tak tak tak" sound keep repeating.

Frustrated, I called up the proton i-care number. After complaining my problems to them, Proton sent a guy in his orange persona with "Proton i-care 24 hour assist" painted on it about 1 hour later.

The mechanic/agent/whoever he is jump started my car.. let the engine runs for about 15 minutes.. turn the key off and tried to start again without the cables.
And it works.. He off the engine again.. Tried to start my car as normal.. still the engine cranks and started behaving normally.

So he suspected the battery problem.. He said that my battery manufactured date was on april 2011. But accordingly he said battery life should last for 10000-20000km or 2 years at most..

He then ask me to try start the car again tmr morning.. If the car unable to start.. He'll change the battery for me..

Right now.. I'm not too sure what might have cause the battery to be drained...

there are at least 6 main possibilites:

1. battery weak
2. alternator weak
3. got some place around the car shortcircuit that make it drain ur battery for duno what.
4. battery weak
5. battery weak
6. battery weak

I think it's number 5.

There are no guarantees how long a battery can last, only theoretical estimates. 4 years if you're lucky, 6 months if you're not. My friend's Vios battery kong in less than a year.

RM50-100 jz a conservative guess. if we'll need to service the same stupid problems every month if 1 month cost 100, 12 months = RM1200. this amount eating into installment payment which is big disadvantage to take up a problematic car.

complain bcos i like this car & plan to have it once the problem solved on the new batch of saga.

i think.. number 6 fits most
thanks for replying anyway...

So if we breakdown anywhere we can call Proton i-Care?

Damn, didnt know this. Rugi ambik AAM.

yes.

Every new Proton cars comes with Proton icare sticker now on the windshield

suddenly thought of this question..
wanna ask
let's say we forgot to turn off the headlights..
does our saga got any feature like "AUTO-OFF" the head lights after engine is shut off?
just curious..

Got.

When the battery runs out, it will AUTO OFF

wah....1 1.2 half day no around so many post already... so got wat news?

lazy to read~! lolz

Dont need to service every month la. It is just sound, does not affect the effectiveness of the brake. When you really cannot tahan, pay 800 bucks and retrofit disc brakes. All in your car still cheaper than a Myvi.

thanks.... i'll try to look for more screws at that area...

I have no warranty. Call me a jerk, but my finding as below:

1) Got my car with screeching brake noise from the back. It consistently behave like this every now and then. As long as the car stationary for more than 2 hours, then the sound appear. Bring the car out, did several side brake drift, now its gone(so does my tyres )

2) After I got rid of the brake screeching sound, another annoying weird sound appeared like something knocking back/forth when I hit/release brake hard, especially during cold start in the morning/late evening. I practice left foot braking(learn from Initial D Knight Kids Civic) to grind my brake pads, and it doesn't help much. Whenever its cold, the annoying sound came back. I drove to my mech ask him to release handbrake tension, now I no longer hear the brake sound anymore, but hand brake tarak makan anymore, need to pull atleast 5 tick to secure the car.

According to my mech, the handbrake cable is toooooooo damn loose(design problem). If tighten to normal handbrake angle, such as 2 ticks full stop, then the brake cylinder will be in tension even the brake is released. This is the cause of the screeching sound. Another problem is, since the brake cylinder in tension, after the brake pads grinds in well, the gab between the drum and the shoe is widen. Whenever brake/release can hear the cylinder pull back hard since the brakes is in tension.

Reason we advise people to claim is, since covered by warranty, might as well claim. If after warranty, will you still change brake pad every 3 months? I don't think so. If you really can't stand it, just let loose your handbrake a little bit. That should be fine already. By the way, found drum brake sets for RM45 at SOLO MOTOR in Sri Kembangan + RM10 labor charge at tyre shop across the street.

You wouldn't have this problem if you enter odometer readings instead of trip meter readings, because then Fuelly would start calculating consumption only from the second fuel-up onwards. But it's too late to change now


Eh why got red sticker one? I'll check those screws later.

I think his point was, there shouldn't be any brake problems in the first place. No problem, no complaint

On a manual?

recently no one interested in the oem brake lock?

this is the new poison than





with 3 high power led with full aluminium casing starting from rm 35 nett

Added on May 21, 2012, 12:04 am honest opinion, dun invest in cheap light, especially bulbs and headlamps or spotlight

cause it will eventually beat the purpose of increasing road visibility

* if for cosmetic purpose than no prob
