So all I have to do is change the bulb? Or is it something I have to resolder?

Thanks a lot for the detailed explaination on this. I have checked the springs and they appear to operate in good conditions. I have my sifu mechanic clean the carb, change the air filter, tuning the car timing and vola, no more violent vibration.

Changed the gear oil, but definitely is a wasted effort now because my car just let out a huge scare to me today. The car was engaging into 2nd gear when a "huhuhuhuhu" sound comes from the engine, car shaking violently but no acceleration happened even if I pressed on the pedal. I am sure the gear was engaged as I checked twice before trying to reengage again quickly (It was running in first gear on a busy road). Brought back to the mechanic and he was quite affirmative that my clutch lining is wearing off. I never pressed the RPM more than 4000 to notice the lost in power. I am quite gentle when come to handle this car, but when he did it, there is obvious loss of power despite the "huhuhuhu" engine sound.

Since the car will be doing its first engine overhaul soon (end of november) so my mechanic says leave it first and 1 kali fix everything. The mechanic assured me it can keep going around town but I still got 1 important date to attend 200km to and forth so hopefully it will stand until then.

Usually the most common cause is a blown bulb. Other causes like
bad solder joints, wiring open circuit, sensor fault etc are possible
but not so likely. You can always DIY and see if it can be solved by
changing the bulb.

The topic of solder joints was mentioned by forum members because
it is a common VDO defect affecting the meters especially the rpm,
fuel & temperature gauges.

Presently, your clutch pedal has any free-play at the top most position?

Yes, I am not good with measurements but there is about some 0.5 inch for me.

Apart from the huhuhu sound, there is also this kereng kereng sound like when you go up a hill in wrong gear but you still force the car? That one will appear when only in 3rd gear, after the RPM reaching 4000 and 4th gear, RPM reaching 3000-4000.

Thanks a lot Sifu! I thought I had to change the entire fuel/temp meter section, really glad I found this forum!

P.S: just recently owned a 99' iswara A/B

Are power window motors for the iswara really that expensive? I've seen a couple of ads on the internet pricing them at around RM90...

Btw, changing the power window motors on the iswara seems kinda difficult correct me of I'm wrong...

rm 90 expensive?

btw as we exceeded 2500 posts, a new thread version will be required.

This time, i plan to clean up the long outdated owner list.
will be pinging every owner on that list and if there are no feedback i will not be adding them on the new version's owner list.

that's just awesome ...no need to ping me ya ....

still superbly faithful to the green monster...

Hello there

Just bought a 2nd hand Iswara A/B. 13yo. Manual. Stock. Can you add me in the owner list?

ok added

sudah lama jual

Wow..

Long time no come here. Already given my iswara to my nephew in Taiping

Before you ping me, iswara still alive and kicking. Just retired from 4 throttle setup. Anyone who wants to try open throttles paired with matching sequential exhaust, just let me know, haha.
