Hi Sifu, Would like to know is the spare available for Dash board - glove compartment lock ? below are the snaps to identify the broken part.
Its the handle plastic broken.

Thanks will buy that. Recently I notice one more problem is window glass operating switch doesn't respond. Is there any guidance to check further?

saw this seemingly great deal on mudah..

should i get this? im looking for a car for daily work commute of around 10-30 km one way, depending on where i rent (johor) and the occasional drive from johor to kl. anything i should ask the SA when i go to test drive?

6500 on the road is not a bad deal, make sure you get comprehensive insurance covered instead of 3rd party coverage. you don't ask salesman anything during the test drive, you'll have to find out the problem by yourself. Don't count on sales person honesty. you ask  anything also they say good 1

Already went for a test drive.. Twice with different savvys but around same price..exterior looks ok but wow the engine is really trashed..going up a small inclination but the car really struggled..guess not my luck.. (Another savvy i tried too expensive after otr price but quality not that good either)

Hello everyone! I recently bought a proton savvy with 45,000 miles (2 months ago). I've had several issues lncluding water leaking into the boot and several noises. This week I started to get a rattling noise coming from the front right of my car. After talking to a few people and having a mechanic take a look we believe that it is the cv joint. I was wondering if I should try to and seek out someone who can rebuild the joint or find a new one? As I live in the UK, parts for a proton savvy are pretty scarce. Does anyone have any idea on where I could find a new part? This prices I've been quoted are £90 upwards for a used one which seems to me a bit pricey.

Not a problem to find a new drive shaft here, problem is the cost of shipment to UK is high.
For engine and transmission parts such as MAP, timing belt, water pump etc, it is cheaper to buy in UK as the engine and transmission is make by Renault D4F. I myself bought one set or NGK iridium spark plug and crankshaft sensor  from UK ebay seller for my Savvy. Only problem is the body parts / suspension as what you are experiencing.

Ah real shame, just what I expected. I'm guessing it would be a stretch to ask if there's any other vehicle with a cv joint compatible with the savvy?  So far the cheapest price I have sought has been £62 for the drive shaft + cv joints  but as the part is used I worry that I will experience the same issue a year or two in the future.

will text u in a minute.
take one which have whatsapp. easy organize tt later. can save credit also, less sms. hehe.

Last Friday me and davidke20 had a small tayar TT at nestum place.

After taking advices from teh motorsport sifoo.. i proudly present. my blue turtle new shoes and leg..

downgrade from 15" to 14" with noticeable lots of positive effect to me.. pickup better, and can feel car become agile because of small thread on the donuts. easier to sway left right. negative only one so far. look small.
Bought Achilles ATR-K Economist 165/55/14 and swap my 15" taiwan bengkok teruk rim with a set of original Mitsubishi Mirage 14" rim.  Rim width is only 4.5jj hence 165 tyre use. haha. small yet superb grip on this indonesia make tyre.

Review of tyre :
value for money at 125RM per piece (special thanks to nestum for special price).
speed tested up til 165kmh(plus highway, got car infront so max at 165kmh only).
cornering tested up to 120kmh at exit nilai big corner til traffic light.
yet tested on rain. but looks of the tread pattern is for swimming champion.

*Big thanks to david for his advice on upgrade (downgrade size). Really racun'ed after ride his Achilles ATR-K Sport tyre abilities. as he mention, plan to grab yoko blue earth at first but at the last minute lorry came and grab the Achilles cause of price and excellent rating (traction AA, treadware 400, physical rubber feel = semislick, nice pattern).

Here some pic.


Conclusion. No rubbing at all 4 side, my problem with big tyre solved (ya i know some will say why no stick with 175, you should know in malaysia we can only have 3 tyre brand to choose for this size). cheap and good performance tyre. lightweight rim. = good FC (I HOPE).
rm50 worth of petrol can get me around 300km. thats 24liter petrol. [imma heavy footer - always rev to 5-6k rpm plus big big size fellow].

add on :

last fuel up (today morning)

Hmm just wondering what tyres you guys are using, I think I need to change mine soon (4 years+).

Currently using Michelin XM2 (185/60/R14) but I find my fuel consumption is a little higher compared to stock tyres. Must be the width which causes more fraction. I won't want to change to this again coz its a little pricy. Not sure whether Malaysian made tyres like Viking is any good coz it's so much cheaper. I want something affordable yet ok in quality.
