my boot also leaking water but not sure how to troubleshoot
aduhai ...

the guy just say send to mudguard workshop...

hmm good point, does our iswara have the appropriate switches to disengage it (eg: high revving) to protect itself?

and yes, the way you explained it, it seems that the compressor follows the engine's rpm, and it is no doubt belt driven.

any idea if we can do mod or change the compressor to something more intelligent or something?

- do proper sealing, and have the workshop/foreman do leak tests (hose the car and make sure not a single drop is in the boot
- around rm200/pair IINM
- get original is recommended
- please do not get white lights.

from experience, you either have to mod the bumper or just straight change lmst model bumper (though that require modding on the whole front such as the fender)

my year 1999 iswara aeroback entire front portion is modified to LMST

actually need to mod, cant pnp

so an alternative, is to change back to the old fitting glass headlamps. however since it is glass, light throwing is not as accurate and it looks very dated. the newer LMST plastic headlamps have better accuracy on light throw and it certain looks better/updated
only in time plastic will fade/go yellow, but there are solutions in the market (such as meguiar products) to restore them so no worries too

for me im getting new seats since my current ones are way too old and giving out too many squeaking sound. getting semi bucket seat upgrade too. haha (13 years old car)

and no worries, not stupid question at all since we all love our iswara/saga

oh tats you , hi boss 
anything from shell mineral 15/40w , get from shell if u afraid of fakes oil , manual gearbox oil get 2 litre is enuff , get 80w or 90w preferred big brand such as penzoil , shell or petronas , if budget allow go for multigrade 75/90w proton gearbox oil , they are the best for buck and it make ur gearshift more smooth and worth it , manual gear oil can last for 3 to 4 years without changing so go for a better once  . brake fluid a bosch 2l big bottle should run about 30 to 40 buck if i am not mistaken and its more than enuff to bleed the old brake fluid with news  , not too much different between price of dot 3 and dot 4 , might as well get dot 4 . hope this helps
driveshaft taiwan/china made should cost about 150 per piece , same price for left and right , halfcut will go around 150 ++ , and original is very expensive . as for ur gearbox only it should cost around 800 to 1k for a recon or halfcut used unit , as around halfcut shop should give u some idea .
still have those well taken care and original unit , just have to find more harded but its well worth it , go jalan jalan around those autocity at selayan , kepong , p.j or puchong , who knows what u can find there

ur car is what year ? 

Yes iswara wiper size is 18/19
