hi, how do you remove the rear view mirror?
and how do open the casing to replace the lcd polarizer? any video as reference?
Thanks
*
there's a cable to unplug inside the roof, coming from the windshield attachment
there's a cover also, need to pry open
remove the mirror assembly, need to twist the whole thing holding the leg of the rear view mirror, either clockwise or counter clockwise also can, because it's a twist lock

Guys, I recently found a neglected Bold CFE. The owner was in financial trouble but the car has zero loans except for 2k with the mechanics.

Condition wise about 70-75%. Paint work quite bad. Windscreen cracked. Taillights and headlights dull and has water vapour inside. Front seats were torned. Dashboard and interior still ok. Probably need a wipe down. 2 front tires flat. Rear tires ok.

RT expired about a year ago.

Market price for Bold CFE according to various sites is between 12 to 15k depending on condition.

I'm thinking of getting this and offering to pay off the owner's debt with the mechanic. How much should I be offering for the car itself? Also, how much for repair everything as below?

Windscreen ?
Taillights ?
Headlights ?
2 tires ?
Front bumper ?
Front seats (driver + passenger) ?
Bonnet ?

Debt to mechanic, 2k

How much to offer the owner for the car? Will 5-6k acceptable?

Car is still drivable and I found no jerks or delay in gear shifts.
*
Windscreen ? - 5~600+
Taillights ? polish and reseal, or change whole thing
Headlights ? 700+ for new, or polish and reseal
2 tires ? 400~800
Front bumper ?
Front seats (driver + passenger) ?
Bonnet ?

Debt to mechanic, 2k

160k mileage

sometime last month, during a normal drive, deceleration, suddenly "kraaa~ kraaa~" noise

I immediately stopped the car by the roadside

No fault indication on the dash

Rootcause - OCH harden and crack, causing a leak, that dripped oil for about 1km distance until oil pump starved (the noise is oil pump)

I lost the service record, but probably it's at least 3 years?
Mine was the first type, full rubber, no metal interconnect

Previously used the metal interconnect, lasted 10k over and then leaking IIRC
Now, change to metal interconnect again, but the mechanic says it's better grade

No engine damage, resumed using after repair

Hey guys just bought exora 2023 Premium. However there's tons of stuff needed to be fixed. Anyway they ask me to replace my battery because it's dieng soon with Amaron an MF Battery instead of a wet-cell battery. Thoughts?

I've been using wet cell
Amaron MF should be wet cell also

the steering bush seems to be another problem for the exora. Anyone with any idea if there's a custom silicon version available for exora? haha Though car still under warranty and can be fixed FOC i would like something longer lasting actually.

Also.. my car barely 3 year old thinking of changing already.

use buy from shopee, red color PU bushing, last longer (shopee Champion autoparts supply)

ranting: fake Century Hybrid flooded battery, since Dec 2023, last few days the cranking can feel weak... I bodoh, forgot that it's a sign that I should IMMEDIATELY replace it... kena the next day, battery weak til cannot start

moral of the story, flooded battery will weak crank a day or two before totally give out. Change it when the symptom shows.

Now get TUFLONG NS60L

U mean the timing belt burst earlier than plan? Thats the figure to pay once had timing belt burst. Change it earlier maybe cost max rm400-500 perhaps?
*
it's premature failure

the timing belt kena oil
swollen and cracking

I won't save on maintenance
recent service I asked foreman checked the belt they are ok

but, I didn't check the belt after OCH incident

Front - Hankook VP4 - 21.8k km (shoulders worn) center still 0.5~0.8mm to TWI
Rear - XM2 - I don't have accurate mileage because in between mixed in another set

now masuk XM2+

kedai tayar told me put 35psi front, to reduce shoulders wearing

any comments?
