I tried swiping some of that red gasket sealant (meant for cylinder heads, etc)
along the inner metal part of the door, as well as on the rubber strip itself,
but didn't really seem to work.

I had thought that the stickiness (takes ages to dry) and smoothness of
that gasket seal would improve the water tightness when the door closed.

The inner part was still wet after rain.

I guess when a rubber ages, you just have to replace it, no matter what
you do. I even tried reconditioning it with the grey silicon fluid meant for
wipers and belts, hoping it would regain a bit of the ''bounciness'' of new rubber.

Thanks, I will replace that seal later.

It doesn't cost that much.

This website's parts are already way overpriced above market value.

It may also be your piston rings, and the valve stems/guides themselves
may also have worn.

How much is the mileage on your odometer ?

Anyway, replace the valve seals first, for economy.

You can buy the NOK green Viton seals at :

Universal Auto Parts
26 Jln Sungei Besi, KL

RM60 for a pack of 12.


Or you may buy the generic Vitons at any parts shops, such as Meng Pew above.

Note that the brown-colored NOK seals are polyacrylate, lower temperature
resistance than Vitons.

Buy a new rubber seal for the engine cover as well, around RM 10-12.


Take them to Ah Keong, mechanic at Hup Seng Car Cooler
in Taman Cheras (Yulek).

He used to replace them for RM90 two years ago if you bring your own seals.

If you let him supply the seals and rubber, may cost you about RM200 in all.


He has a special tool, where he can pull out the seals without having
to take out the cylinder head.

He first pumps compressed air to fill each cylinder, via the spark plug holes,
so that the valves are pushed upwards.

A two hour job.

anyone can tell me roughly how much to change some proper gear oil / clutch oil including labor
i think mine have been unchanged for years lol

Thanks bro for the detailed advise! I'm not sure what's the mileage. I guess probably....a LOT.....maybe already more than 200,000 km.... i'm 4th owner currently. Already changed rubber seals for engine cover last month due to small leakage.

But for valve seals I didn't do it yet... I'm in Kedah/Penang area....

I regapped my spark plugs from 1.1mm to 0.8mm-0.9mm. No more dieselling occurs! Note that guys!

what heat range are you using?

the mechanic throw in bp6es-11 plugs when i got the car...he said the old plugs are fully oily black and my engine needs top overhaul. Fukk that, my new plugs no more black after carb tuning. But just recently got half wet due to valve seal leak.

Fukk, Kedah area all mechanics wanna rip off their customers.

Hello,
I have a question here. The light bulb behind the meter of iswara LMST 2007, the center proton logo light is sharing with the rpm and speed meter or independent ?

Thank you.
Very appreciate for replying

can't remember for LMST, but for the older 3 cluster meter, it's all independent.

FOR LMST - You will need to change whole meter set, as the LED Lights comes with a set.

Hello there, my 2000 carb Iswara has a problem when starting the engine coldly. The RPM shoots to 2-3k for approx. 5 minutes and then return to normal at 1k baseline. After Googling for a while it appears that prolly my autochoke is faulty. Where can I get this solved and how much it cost? My old timer mechanic in town doesn't have a clue about this thing. Thank you!

Before replacing the autochoke, maybe you can consider adjusting the setting screw:

UPDATE:
From what I can make out from the carburettor manual (in Russian)
I think the higher rpm may be a normal thing during the rich mixture
cold engine stage, need to confirm this info ...

Furthermore if you google "cold start high idle speed rpm" you can read about this thing, and your carb seems to be working fine.

Bro, this one for 4L ah? Current checked out Manjalara Tesco is rm137

I second that your autochoke is working fine. Probably needs just a bit of adjustment. I wish the autochoke on my 2000 Iswara was back to working like that..

Hi guys, does anyone know of aftermarket big brake kits for our iswara. Or at least something which can fit without major modification.

Ini boley ka?

http://kahchai1985.blogspot.com/2009/02/rv...ke-upgrade.html

need advise sifus ..

i havent started my car in a while already ??

any advise on how to go about ??? just jumper and good to go ???

A bit hard to find leh that one. Seems like halfcut rear discs a lot easier to get than a nice front set.

But apart from halfcut, there are so many brand new aftermarket 4/6 pot for satria neo, perdana, etc. Wonder how much mods it would take to fit.

Perdana set basically berak&pray. The only thing needed is custom fabricate the mounting extension plate for the berak kaliper.
