Anyway, for someone who ask before, it is possible to turn on meter light when key at ignition position. Just I din do that.

But dashboard speedo is around 1.05 faster than satellite wo, so i thought ECU is more accurate?

Talking about battery, my stock RAMCAR adi serviced full 3 years on last Sunday....

No, it still running fine...

I already told you before, 欲加之罪，何患无辞？

If they want to kacau you, they will have reason to kacau you.

So for those who do insufflex, prepare warranty void for your actuator and power window if you din remove that before go to warranty.

All the rattling noise in the car i solved by DIY, i dun believe SC can help you. They won't waste their time to troubleshoot intermittent problem for your car.

3 years i owned my car, non-stop finding solution for rattling noise especially dashboard and center console. The main problem is caused by those metal clip of those part and plastic-plastic rubbing noise. Try to use your hand to push the center console and speedometer cover, it will emit 'cit cit cit' rat noise. My best solution after 'R&D' for 3 years is to dismantle those parts, isolate those contact surface/edge by using black cloth tape, and put back/screw back, after that no more such noise.

Just that DIY is not about expert or not, know or dun know. I also know nothing about my car when i get it, just depends how dare you are. I also panic like sheet when i do it 1st time, just that i die die also want to get it dismantle.

That day i DIY my meter light also, can't pull out the needle at all...Just i find another way to remove it, by rotate it anti-clockwise.

Sometimes i also jelly you guys one, FSB TT, RSB TT, what kind of TT also got....me have to find my own way if i want to get those thing, so end up DIY lo...

As long as it is exec, it will have 2 airbag.

Wa, got such low cc car one meh? Even my cheapskate low spec Saga also got 1333cc leh...

Xtra 1cc by FS mah...

Ur is lemon S4PE...

Talking about LED, if possible change all the light bulb (Tail lamp, parking lamp, signal lamp, headlamp small bulb, cabin lamp, boot lamp) from current filamen bulb to LED can reduce alot of current consumption during night cruising.

Proper design single LED should take about just 20mA max for maximum performance, For T10 bulb got 5LED, is around 100mA only, which translate into 100mAx14.4V = 1.44W, compare to stock bulb, it takes up at least 5W, which is around 350mA. For those signal lamp and brake lamp, 22W, will consume around 1.5A.

Anyway, LED should be long lasting, FOREVER never die possible. However from what i see in market now, many of those LED bulb can't long lasting, mainly due to poorly design to get maximum profit out of it.

If you have time and want to know a little further, you can read the attachment wrote by me.

1. Those high power dissipation resistor normal come with larger size, so they will hard to fit in + higher cost.
2. They can use multiple parallel resistor to share the load, however space constraint + higher cost.

From what i found out, they normally use those tiny 1.6mm x 0.8mm SMD resistor which only can withstand 0.1W/pc and parallel them, and most of the design is overload design, which finally lead to resistor burnt.

If you got chance to get a faulty LED bulb, you will surprise the LED still functioning well. There is little chance that all LEDs will burn in same time one.

So i decide to DIY.

You chemical student should go to make some kind of battery-free-self-lighting-LED...

But rear camber is -1' even stock from factory wo...i mean gaga...

Anyway, now my car engine really can't drive without open music liao...very noisy, tak tak tak tak follow engine rev, i suspect not IAFM, tappet noise? really rough and noisy leh, especially engine rev above 2k rpm...any solution?

Ei, this Campro is 贱骨头 one, feed it full sync all the time, at the end ma same, noisy like hell.

Hmm, stock gaga negative camber is really noticeable just by naked eye la...but -1 is good for cornering, no?

Anyway, my rear camber last time adi fixed it @ -0.5' la, because one is -1, another one is -1.5, causing my alignment to lari...
