I see.

Oh ya, my car seem to has 1 problem recently. As usual i pumped full tank of my car...

After finished pump, saw the range at the HU there was 400km+ ..so drive for few days it became 390++ but then ...few days ago, it suddenly went back to 410 km in range.. after that the range remain unchanged. sweat.gif

It has been like that for few days... so i am worry is the sensor "sot" already? sweat.gif

So far my meter still show full bars of petrol.. hmm.gif

Don't 心里作用 la... It's normal... Anyway I don't use that range function until I got 1 bar left and I need to look for petrol station... laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Cheapo car, what to expect? Wait for the new Honda Civic 1.5 Turbo launch and buy 1 of it. Better performance and wider chasis to ensure best ride on the road.

Drum brake is good if less people seat inside the vehicle. If full of passengers and luggage, it is indeed not safe to drive on the road.

While a "yes" answer would certainly be great for increasing Town Hall traffic, the truth is that today's disc/drum setups are completely adequate for the majority of new cars. Remember that both disc and drum brake design has been vastly improved in the last 20 years. In fact, the current rear drum brake systems on today's cars would provide better stopping performance then the front disc setups of the '70s. And today's front disc brakes are truly exceptional in terms of stopping power. Combined with the fact that between 60 and 90 percent of a vehicle's stopping power comes from the front wheels, it's clear that a well-designed, modern drum brake is all that's required for most rear wheel brake duty.

Cannot expect much with B segment vehicle. If got fund, better upgrade to C segment and above. At least can minimized unacceptable rattling noise issue.

Drum brake
"This basic design proved capable under most circumstances, but it had one major flaw. Under high braking conditions, like descending a steep hill with a heavy load or repeated high-speed slow downs, drum brakes would often fade and lose effectiveness." - apply to current B segment vehicle with save cost priority.

Disc brake
"But unlike drum brakes, which allow heat to build up inside the drum during heavy braking, the rotor used in disc brakes is fully exposed to outside air. This exposure works to constantly cool the rotor, greatly reducing its tendency to overheat or cause fading. Not surprisingly, it was under racing circumstances that the weaknesses of drum brakes and the strengths of disc brakes were first illustrated. Racers with disc brake systems could carry their speed "deeper" into a corner and apply greater braking force at the last possible second without overheating the components. Eventually, as with so many other automotive advances, this technology filtered down to the cars driven by everyday people on public roads".
*
Read the whole thing la God of car gods... The drum brakes section was informing of earlier vehicles using all drum brakes for all 4 wheels and it's cons la... doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

Drum Brakes

Early automotive brake systems, after the era of hand levers of course, used a drum design at all four wheels. They were called drum brakes because the components were housed in a round drum that rotated along with the wheel. Inside was a set of shoes that, when the brake pedal was pressed, would force the shoes against the drum and slow the wheel. Fluid was used to transfer the movement of the brake pedal into the movement of the brake shoes, while the shoes themselves were made of a heat-resistant friction material similar to that used on clutch plates.

This basic design proved capable under most circumstances, but it had one major flaw. Under high braking conditions, like descending a steep hill with a heavy load or repeated high-speed slow downs, drum brakes would often fade and lose effectiveness. Usually this fading was the result of too much heat build-up within the drum. Remember that the principle of braking involves turning kinetic energy (wheel movement) into thermal energy (heat). For this reason, drum brakes can only operate as long as they can absorb the heat generated by slowing a vehicle's wheels. Once the brake components themselves become saturated with heat, they lose the ability to halt a vehicle, which can be somewhat disconcerting to the vehicle's operator.

Drum vs. Disc: Today

In today's automotive pantheon, it's not uncommon to find four-wheel disc brakes as standard equipment on medium-priced, non performance-oriented models. The majority of new vehicles, however, continue to utilize a front-disc/rear-drum brake setup. What does this say about the current state of braking systems? Are these manufacturers sacrificing vehicle safety in order to save a few bucks by installing disc brakes on only the front wheels?

While a "yes" answer would certainly be great for increasing Town Hall traffic, the truth is that today's disc/drum setups are completely adequate for the majority of new cars. Remember that both disc and drum brake design has been vastly improved in the last 20 years. In fact, the current rear drum brake systems on today's cars would provide better stopping performance then the front disc setups of the '70s. And today's front disc brakes are truly exceptional in terms of stopping power. Combined with the fact that between 60 and 90 percent of a vehicle's stopping power comes from the front wheels, it's clear that a well-designed, modern drum brake is all that's required for most rear wheel brake duty.

High performance cars like the Viper, 911 and Corvette can justify a four-wheel disc brake system, especially if their owners participate in some form of sanctioned racing activity on the weekends. The rest of us get more of a benefit from the lower cost of drum brakes. Expecting every vehicle built today to come with four-wheel disc brakes would require an across-the-board increase in purchase price, and that could stop new car buyers much quicker than any brake system.

can anyone clarify about service due date. went for first service 5/12...according to the printed job sheet next service due 3/6 but the sticker on the windscreen shows 5/5. which one to follow? if by mileage it shows in the sticker 10800 (As I service previously at 800) but as I understand should go before or at 10k. which one?
*
Anyway it's every 10k or every 6 months which ever comes first...

You can call back the SC to clarify... But some SC actually allows you go early or later by not more than 1,000km...

The verdict for Honda City.

- Poor workmanship
- Poor paintwork apply to whole vehicle
- Rusted suspension joint after 1 week of driving
- Rattling sound all over the place due to thin plastic materials apply to interior trim
- No side impact beam to protect passenger
- No stabilizer bar installed for front and rear chasis
- Cross wind driving can feel the car floating all the time due to lightness of the chasis

Overall, the feel of driving is the same as driving a better Proton Saga. Do a test drive, and you will know the answer.

I think you can bring to Dr Cermin to temporary repair it first without changing the whole windscreen... Will be about 90+% new...
