Need some advice. Recently my Preve got this very annoying ticking sound like panel loose or metal hitting each other from the back when the road is uneven or going thru the mini humps or speed bumps.

I thought might be the spacing like mentioned earlier and tried to DIY but still got that annoying ticking sound or cluk cluk sound.

If i send SC, can they fix it? Worry later they open this and that, make it even most.

First hour of driving I already push it to 5500 RPM. Breaking in engine has a very small timeframe to do it, that time I desperately put into manual mode, put a low gear and rev it as hard as I can on highway.

Result, pretty good fuel consumption and healthy engine.

If exceed timeframe how? Does that mean doomed to have a Preve with poor FC?

Anything that can be done after?

The brake light badly designed. Was the source of my kruk kruk sounds because is quite flimsy.

Bros

Now got a weird kruk kruk sound from the rear when  I drive it, sound like its coming from the bonet or wheel arc area.

What could be the problem a? Its still a week old car and already have this issue doh.gif

Very likely the 3rd brake light. Bad design as the light has this tray below it and is hanging like a plank of wood.

Or the 2 metal rods in the rear. Sometimes they are touching each other after closing so move the plastic spacers provided to keep the rods apart.

Did you manage to fix yours?

No i still waiting for next service which is due by next month.

Quite hesistant to ask SC to fix fittings because most of the time, they fix one thing and make problems in other areas so temp fix, i just on the radio so cannot hear.

Preve is nice car but quality of the fittings need to improve.
