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...

You can remove the wheels and open the callipers. Or get someone to do it for you.

Likely that the rotor has been scratched. Whether to skim, would depends on your preference. If you believe it is a defect, claim warranty.

The bulb might be the same as those sold at Proton SC for RM24.

Haha. Alright. Never had changed any bulb from SC before. Didn't know what type of bulb they use. Thanks for your reply. notworthy.gif

Either Philips or Osram.

But stock (out of factory) should be from Philips.

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?

Thanks Mengsuan.
Looks like another visit to the service centre.
Shouldn't be too hard I guess.

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

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.

Not too sure what is wire harness and what it has got to do with light bulbs blowing. To answer your question, the wire harness on my car has not been changed yet.

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.

Check your engine bay if it has the Electric Vacuum Pump (see image below, circled in red). If you have it, then it's VT3+
