Apparently, this chip located inside the car key- went missing after it dropped. Problem is, i can't start my car without this chip. Is there anyway of duplicating the same set of key (with chip) apart from proton service centre. To which, they quoted me RM35 (not including service charge) just to reprogram the chip. And rm80 if i intend to change the casing as well, which i find it too pricey.

QUOTE(dares @ May 18 2012, 12:03 PM) I think after they reinstall the immobilizer chip into your key remote, they need to program your ECU to recognize the chip as well. If I were you, I wont do it anywhere else other than Proton. Thanks. Will consider about it. But still RM80+RM35 + service charge, just for a key is just abit lebih lar. I can use it for my oil service maintenance already. Don't you think? As much as i would love to treat my proton blm as BMW. But i don't think people would want to steal this car. If really want, no way of stopping them from doing it right? Hear stories about salesman (immobilizer) who can easily demo tricks to open your car.RM80 is not that expensive if you are concerned about the security of your car. A few years ago, it costs about the same to replace my dad's wira remote, which did not have an immobilizer.  |

This is regarding to Proton BLM's tyre of choice. At the moment, i'm using the stock tyre Goodyear Ducaro GA (185/60R14). Apparently, i heard normally a tyre's lifeline (depending on a driver's driving skill) would last to about 50,000km. Any comments? And also what are the recommended tyres for a comfortable ride. I'm not into racing, just normal city driving.

QUOTE(lhwj @ May 23 2012, 04:14 PM) No no, what I meant is that, there are no other manual tranny diesels cars on sale at the moment, unless you're talking about pickup trucks, and I don't want one of them. Nothing to do with the Focus. I'm at around 30,500km. Did the alignment + rotation. From the back to front. Apparently, both tyres at the back- sort of 'hilang bunga' faster than the front part (still berbunga-bunga). Mind to explain why Michelin XM2? Better control?I have the same tyres and so far there's still quite a bit of thread left. 39,000 km, two rotations done. I'm guessing it should last until 60,000 km. When they're worn I'm planning to change them to Michelin XM2. I'm just a bit concerned about the Ducaro's grip in the wet, especially on a car without ABS and traction control. |

QUOTE(lhwj @ May 23 2012, 04:35 PM)  Weird. On a front wheel drive the front tyres should wear faster. Anyway, reading about the XM2 it seems like a decent set to upgrade to. Good grip and not noisy. I'm more concerned about the former, though I've never experienced loss of control or skidding on my Ducaros before. +1 |
