Just replaced my missing antenna at 2nd service, it is so scary expensive....RM98 for that thin stick....

dafuq?

You can just go to any spare part shop and request for cheaper ones leh... Like the one I got is the Gen2 antenna for around RM40 only. You can even put VIva antenna, then it will look like cockroach. XD

The BLM one is memang expensive, dunno why.

Even the sparepart shop uncles said, it is expensive item, thats why the high theft rate.

so those who got their new cars, go super glue the antenna. lolz

ps: A damaged antenna doesn't benefit the thief either

Try superglue a bottlecap on its bottle. Can you take out the bottlecap without "harming" the bottlecap exterior and also the "screw" part? rolleyes.gif

While that's true, the thief doesn't know you superglued your antenna.

What might happen is that he'll apply kuasa lembu and try to twist your antenna out. In the end it is not the thief that ends up with a damage antenna, is that THE VICTIM end up with a damaged antenna.
*
common sense, if cant be twisted using normal force, means it has been glued -.-

You thought they first time curi antenna? sleep.gif

Someone once explained to me for the following desirable for brake pads:

Minimal brake dust
Strong bite
Quiet

You only get to pick 2 for your brake pads. Dunno how true is that.


Added on May 19, 2012, 7:55 pm

Look for mahihi aka wuakaka

lol strong bite....

The correct term is maximum operating temperature.

BTW, there are a few types of brake sets which fits the criteria above: one of them being carbon composite brakes or carbon ceramic composite brakes.

Added on May 21, 2012, 10:21 amps. Me sympathise with all Bros hving drum brake probs.
Drum brakes are "ancient" tech. Frankly there shld b NO probs watsoever being very ole tested tech.
So only obvious reason is low quality item supplied by vendor!! For FLXs! Cos no such probs faced by BLMs/FLs.... sad.gif
*
BLM also facing drum brake jam issues so there's no escape from it.

well, almost 3 weeks using my 1.3 flx and so far so good.  but....

just one thing : sometimes when from P to R the gear stalk snaps in place proper, but the Reverse gear is not engaged.  When i release the brake and press the accelerator it goes forward, likely in neutral or forward, but not R.

After reset to P and then R for either once or twice, only then it reverse as usual
*
samalah, one FL also have this issue, I also had this issue sometimes. Only thing is cant claim from SC coz it only happens once in a blue moon.

Tak bahaya. Coz it will be either stuck at P or N, both which will not send power to the front wheels. So what you will feel is the engine revving but your car doesn't move. laugh.gif

Unless your passenger act hero gatal tangan go shift to R properly then you will reverse to Holland if you happen to be pressing the throttle at that time. doh.gif

QUOTE(zamanjaafar @ May 21 2012, 01:38 PM)
lucky im the type that reverse in creep mode, if terus tekan accelerator maybe drink drain water
*
Well, it wont happen. Reason as above. laugh.gif
Been there, done that.

Pulls over to reverse into a parking spot > Slot into R > Tekan minyak a bit > Engine stuck at 2,500rpm doh.gif > press brakes > goyang the gear lever abit till heard the beep (since can properly engage into R) > release brakes and reverse in. laugh.gif

honestly i have no experience servicing car at PROTON SC..especially COE. this is going to be my first time with the FLX..
so, I'd glad if u guys can give advice if there's anything unnecessary that I can avoid during 1st service..
*
avoid: magnatrap, engine treatment, windschield cleaner,

just stick with engine oil, oil filter, gasket plug will do.

can we ask during service not to install that magnet thing?

you dont ask. When you are there, just tell them straight what you want. Ie: engine oil, oil filter, gasket plug. Thats it.

Like this, they will know "oh, ini orang tau pasal kereta punya, tak boleh kapak. Nanti saya kena pancung balik". wink.gif

Like a Saga sleep.gif

Unless you drive Porsche, like the fella I told you at HLA, sengaja ajak client go down car park to sign document so he can show off  whistling.gif  whistling.gif
*
Whats wrong with Saga?

If you pull up in front of client's place in a Saga, the client will think that you're someone with good financial planning. Coz Saga is value for money in its segment. High chances he will sign for you so that you can manage his plan wisely and know which plan to choose and which not to on behalf of him.

Thats why usually under the HLA basement, all you can see almost all cars are sedan, ranging from a puny Saga, to Vios, to Sentra, Civic, Accord, Camry, 3 series, 5 series and Merc S-class. Because sedan can give a better impression and better image to client compared to MPVs or SUVs and hatchbacks.

your that particular client must be some white collared worker working under numerous superiors in an organization earning a fixed income every month.
