Anyone got scratching sounds from the brakes? Can feel it from the brake pedals also when braking.
Maybe sand went into the brakes... But the discolour on the brakes quite uneven...

Or get someone to do it for you.Maybe sand went into the brakes... But the discolour on the brakes quite uneven... Likely that the rotor has been scratched. Whether to skim, would depends on your preference. If you believe it is a defect, claim warranty. |

Hi all
will be getting my preve this week and this will be my first car with both car and insurance under my name. Previously(or to say right now) I'm using Kelisa with car and insurance under his name. Is there anything I should prepare before receiving the car? |

I didn't need to change camber screw after 23 months of driving. Yes it might affect warranty if it is suspension related.does changing the camber screw effect the warranty.... |

THe head lights on my car blew again for the 3rd or 4th time. This time round 2 bulbs blew on the left headlamp and 1 bulb blew on the right headlamp. It seems like the light bulbs are blowing quite frequently on my car, and I wonder what is wrong.

Wire harness change is non headlamp related.
Mine blows at a rate about 1 year. So every 1 year, I have to change 2 bulb, left and right. Luckily Proton sells cheap H7 so it doesn't matter to me. I drive with lights on any hazy or dim condition for safety, which means I put a lot of hours of use on them. |

Well the mechanic told me the wire harness could be the reason why the bulbs went out. Coincidentally, I've never faced anymore burnt bulb, it has been a year.
