what's wrong with your handbrake lever?

for headlamp bulb, i think it is ridiculous if its no stock available as it is one of the basic thing. If really that SC has no stock of headlamp bulp, you can find one aftermarket. Price range between RM20 -RM100 depending on quality. Btw, stock bulp cost around RM18.

not sure, no problem also but they say is a recall from proton. Yeah thats ridiculous, but i had changed mine to philips bluevision, and first time hearing they recall car becos of headlamp bulb lolz. They called me for recall tho, i didnt went there and complain about anything, yet.

i attended defensive driving course, they say if full syn oil can straight use, if semi or mineral have to let it run awhile.. car like alza will show the blue color temp symbol indicating the car is still cold, need to wait tat to go off only can drive.

after i changed my engine mounting, day and night different when i start the car.. omg so different, there is no vibration at all when the car is idle.. feel like the car wanna stall. i had been driving it with so much vibration since day 1. now even high speed cruising or when u step on pedal, the car doesnt vibrate much like before.. the engine is much quieter at cruising at 100km/h that u start to hear more wind noise and road noise lol..

i believe newer batch which after suprima was introduced should be getting the new mounting. THey actually changed the CVT bracket too, i can feel tat the whining at 30-40 is less audible.

is it possible to buy the plastic screw holder for the door panel? or specifically the one u screw the power window control unit into the door panel.. and also plastic clip.. i think some dropped into the "endless pit" while i dissamble the dash panel to install HU.. are those things listed at proton spare part list?

i wanna ask, the disc brake rotor can see visible scratch, does it means the brake pad no good already? cos i go defensive driving class, they say how to check brake pad, they see my car brake rotor say the brake pad is not good if there is a visible line on it.. they say the pad shouldnt scratch the rotor that hard..

super lot of different bro. 3ST is so much gripper, and much more comfortable, less tyre noise. U know i only change front to 3ST, then i suddenly heard very funny wong wong noise, sound like balancing problem, when i drive at 100km/h, i tot is balancing problem. I go back michelin ask, they say not balancing problem, is becos 3ST is quiet tyre, so the noise u hear is actually the noise from ur back champiro tyre noise, u feel like it is from the front. Then i see the tyre age also 5yrs, brittle can see small small hairline crack liao, i tukar. VOILA, no more funny sound.

i think PS3 is more expensive right? 3ST is a comfort tyre for sure, it is a match between PS3 and Primacy LC.

ohh.. then maybe PS3 is for those who prefer more performance, but sacrifice abit noise, u cant have best of both world, i can say for 3ST is an all rounder, good performance, good comfort, but cannot be the best.

look at the wear and the age. 4-5yrs is time to change the tyre, becos brittle already, risk of explosion becos the rubber no more elasticity. If botak already, sure change lo, really big difference, botak tyre easy skid.. wat traction control, VSC also cannot save u from skidding if ur tyre is botak.
