Am thinking of getting a Metal Stem Valve for the stock 15" rim, am wondering what size is the stem hole?

Am thinking of changing the front to PS3 195/55/50, anyone done it?

Are these good and will they fit nicely?

maybe don't use the alarm system? coz alarm system is the one draining the battery when you leave the car that long.

Lol. Nah in my case i got it to run after connecting it back to the batt. I was used with the kembara draining before so i guess it became a habit to take off the electrical when leaving for more than a week. My issue now is the power steering being heavy though.

Guys, just wondering between 20k-35k, anything else i should change?

I have changed the followings around 28k, now at 32k:
1.Brake Oil
2.Power Steering Oil
3.Coolant
4.Fan Belt

and recently a new Battery.

My Engine Oil & Filter is overdue (time period not mileage), mileage suddenly become very bad like 8.3 (should be 8.5 due to change smaller tyre), 90% tank can only go around 300km...

Also i notice sometimes the car hard to start, need to turn the key for few seconds then like start like car got asthma.

I checked the Battery with Engine off is 12V, start the engine & rev up to 3krpm, the idle voltage is only 10.7V, however i let it run for another 5 minutes the idle voltage becomes 14.3V & off the engine the battery is now 12.7V... is there something wrong with my multimeter or something wrong with the alternator/battery?

only way i know is measuring the voltage, any other easy way to check?

just now test:

1.Engine Off Battery 12V
2.Engine On 10.7V

after 5 minutes

1.Engine On 14.3V
2.Engine Off Battery 12.7V

all measured at idle.

i read from an article saying:

Warning: Never disconnect a battery cable while the engine is running to "test" the alternator. Doing so can cause high voltage spikes that can damage the alternator as well as other electronics.

is it reliable?

also when you hear squeaking sound, does the alternator still working or not? how much is a replacement unit? Persona alternator normally last how many years/mileage?

If at around 13.5-14++ volt the alternator should be working fine i think ( was told by my uncle last time) im not much of expert mayb other sifus here may help u. anyway one way to check alternator if not mistaken is to remove the battery connection after u start ur car. if the car doesnt dies after some time means ur alternator still functions( be careful though when removing ur battery connection make sure dont short circuit. anyway last time my old car one of symptom alternator failing was the squeaking sound(metal brush with metal sound).
