ab d fuel smell. jus ignore it. heard alot of time this prob, but till now no concrete solution...
lol..really bad luck. usually halfcut / 2nd hand stuff r much better than recond aka recondition stuff. those old stuff can withstand usage many many years comparing nowadays brand new stuff....

usual la...alot scammer wants to cari untung lebih

not much.... rm 5k +-

rm3k. Maybe 6-7k private sales. My 1995 iswara, dealer dun wan take in because profit margin too low 

hence my advise against recond distributor units. had similar experiences myself btw.
1999 iswara aeroback? maybe 5k or something

ps: being cheated by con workshops is not so much the car's fault, is more to either your fault, and/or the con man's fault

alternator cable connecting towards the battery positive terminal (should be only 1 iinm)

RM400 only? Hehe that's cheap.

Last time I sat in a Savvy with defective wheel bearing. The sound really terrible, like what you described. Maybe you can try pinpoint which tyre it comes from then take it out and check. Maybe is the brake rotors/drum also..

lower arm 90 buck per side , drive shaft per side china item less than 200 . labour to change lower arm 30bucks , labour to change driveshaft 50 bucks . ok la

3 week only , water ? missing breather rubber cap can does that , if water gets in it can ruin ur bearing inside , tough luck there .

ur car is what year ?  

Sharing some info of changing autochoke repair-kit DIY with friend:

First you will need to get a autochoke repair kit in sparepart shop (just a sample repair kit may not exact because I forgot to took pic):


1. Sifu Weng which very professional diy member in club saga iswara forum, helping me on removing all the necessary parts:



2. (see below pic)

- Remove air filter & air filter base (If you have UR bar remove as well.)
- Prepare a clean cloth to cover your engine part because removing the hose will get some coolant leak.
- (5) loosen the water hose.
- (3) remove nut
- (4) untight the spring
- (1)& (2) remove the screw bolt carefully (try some WD40/lightly knock with hummer if is too tight, because our trial has loosen the screw T_T)

*After that carefully remove the auto choke component. (The gasket maybe stick a bit on the carb side, dont worry you will get a new gasket in the kit)



3. You can how it looks like after take out the autochoke.
B & A is the essential component that cause autochoke not function (e.g morning cold start you get jerk)


Clean up the dirt & oil surrounding before re-assemble back all the parts. And there you go a brand new morning start that wont get jerkk!

(Soory for less detail photo and guide because only snapped few photo while in the process..)
