do carsome accept cars with many cosmetic scratches? I was wondering to sell my car (not almera) but it had a hairline windshield crack that was pretty obvious , and many small cosmetic issues. do they accept it? I dun feel like forking out money to restore this car anymore.

I believe they will accept it but the price may be lower...

The Almera I traded in has dents, cracked rear lights and many other cosmetic issues.

Guys, need help. my car remote which uses CR1620 battery has died and what I did was I change it with maxell CR1620 and it does not work.

The original battery is a Sony CR1620. Does it mean I can only use Sony CR 1620 battery?

Can anyone guide me with this item please?

Hi there, appreciate if anyone has any suggestion on how to repair the scratched tyre rim. Tyre or car accessory shop could do it?

Test drove the Almera today and honestly I'm pretty sold, though the one thing that held me back was the lack of Android Auto. However, the salesperson informed me that new Almeras rolling out from this month would be coming with Android Auto as well - can anyone verify this?

for the latest N18 almera model, yesterday I had a chance to sit in my friends 2 month old car for a very long period.
we discovered that when start from cold (ie park for a few hours) there is a harshness feeling from the engine, even though RPM is normal.
There is a also a bit of sluggishness when crawling from zero, this sound and sluggishness disappears after a few minutes.

Yes, officially new model now comes with Android Auto. No official announcement yet on existing car owner, whether can be updated with Android Auto.

Need some advice, car mileage drop. Previously 9-10km/l now 7.5km/l. Same traffic home and office back and forth. No jerking. March went to service centre said checked sparkplug no issue and so they reset ECU. Still same issue, yesterday when SC asked them check again they say need change sparkplug and ignition coil while at it SC said normally they would change manifold gasket too if touch ignition coil. I find that to be weird.... car mileage only 32,000km. Never changed sparkplugs or ignition coil before. 1st hand car.

On a side note, fan motor and fan belt needs to be changed cause got noice from the fan and the belt haven't changed for few years already eventhough SC said didn't detect any crack.

Try monroe...its so soft and nice....i will be repurchasing it soon...by end of the year...bcos its been 5 years already since i last changed it

Hi just to get idea, what is the model of monreo absorber you changed? Oespectrun?

I saw in shoppe or Lazada there is a shop selling for 380 front and rear 270 per pai. Total is 650. Is it better than KYB RS Ultra which is RM610.

Which is better?

Do we so need to change absorber mounting, absorber bearing and strut damper for front?

For rear, what else do we need to changed beside the rear absorber?
