Oh yeap, the side indicators are also T10 (I had already installed them and that's why they're off the list )

Hi,

Does anybody have any knowledge about the two "plugs" in the picture?

Yes, I would have to say so! The original horn was faulty and the replacement horn is now sitting on the RH behind the front bumper.

Was on 15x7 recently (with about 1/4 in. spacer, not exactly sure thickness of spacer). Used it for about 1 month before got sick of all the scraping here and there. Traded in the rims and tyres for 13" original rims and tyres.

Any cool 4G15 wire tuck projects amongst us here? Care to share some of the pics?

Air-cond compressor refusing to kick in

It started happening a few weeks ago. At that time, one push of the air-cond switch wouldn't necessarily get the compressor running (the fan blew just fine, albeit warm air coming out of the vents). A means of rectifying it would be to turn the air-cond switch on and off again, sometimes repeatedly until the compressor decided to run. And, when it did decide to run, air-cond was cool as usual. However, sometimes the compressor did cut-off and didn't cut back in again. And the repeated on-off process was repeated.

Today, it just plainly refused to turn on at all, despite numerous on-off attempts at the air-cond switch. Anybody have any ideas on what's wrong?

15-year-old Iswara. Rear actuators and driver's side actuator changed to Proton original actuators. Font passenger actuator original from factory.

p/s: All 3 original actuators are still in possession. Haven't had the chance yet to get them back to working condition (if at all possible).

I'm also facing the same problem currently. I had my wife drive the car while I sat at the rear passenger seat (LH). She drove on uneven roads and I opened the door poking my head outside the car to listen for the source of the noise. No clue.

Through my observations, I can quite safely conclude on the following regarding the issue:

1. Noise appears when the rear seat is loaded. The bigger the load, the more prone it is for the noise to appear.

2. Noise appears as the ambient temperature is warmer. Hotter day, easier for the noise to appear. Made worse when the rear seats are loaded.

I typically have no issues when driving alone in the car. If I had to make an educated guess, I would have to say it has something to do with the body itself. I inspected the spot welds behind the rear seats and saw that some of them had let go. I'm wondering whether that maybe the cause of it. At one particular time, one of the broken spot welds was the cause of a "squeaking" sound; I spread the joined parts apart and the noise disappeared. Worst of all however, (see attachment), I fear something might be breaking loose even more...

Yup, you're right. My car was rear-ended by a W124 about 8 years ago. W124 was probably going at 60 km/h. I was at 0 km/h parked at the side of the road. I was beside the car and saw everything happen thinking it was a dream...

Anyway, car went in for body repairs. And the crack is definitely fibre. What I'm implying is that the metal part underneath the fibre must be undergoing a substantial degree of flexing for it to have effect on the fibre above. I was thinking about installing the UR upper room bar to see if the noise is mitigated.

While we're at that, can anybody recommend a reputable body shop? Ones that may entertain some additional spot-welding structure enhancement and not just spray and lacquer? I sent in my car for a full body spray in USJ 1 a few years back and judging by the quality you see in the photos, well....

Would de-greasing the distributor and hosing it down with water jet be advisable? Opinions?

Good to know!

Thanks!!!

p/s: 27k for...? :: faint ::

So, I just had a go at H2O decarbonizing. Felt no difference before and after. Anybody here had any success?

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 all,

Is anybody familiar with the headlamp adjustment screws for the LMST headlamps? Which screw does what adjustment to the headlamp aim? Thanks in advanced for the info.
