Don't think so... I think you haven't found a good and honest shop. I believe that our car's alignment should be done easily considering that the toe for all four wheels can be adjusted without requiring any parts to be changed. When my car was fitted with camber bolts last time (also kena con), they just adjusted the reading to be 0 with the car in the air. But this was on the pretext that the tyres will wear out faster on the outer edge, which doesn't make sense since a more positive camber will make it worse I think, in addition to having bad/aggressive toe adjustments.

My current all round camber readings are - 1.xx deg + and the shop I go to still can make it straight. The toe reading is also affected by the camber, but as far as I can see, as long as they can get the toe adjustment right, the car will go straight. When I first switched to sports suspension, the camber reading was -2 deg left and -3 deg right. The car's alignment still could be done correctly without any adjustments to the camber.

people say without chamber nut you can adjust it +-5deg. does this apply to most cars?

Just saw about this news in Chinese newspaper, it was not true. I could not find the article in english paper.

But the article said you need to connect negative cable to engine instead of negative terminal at battery.

search all the Battery DIY webpage will tell you not connect the -ve to the need to be charged -ve battery because this may cause spark when you connect it and cause explosion if there is Hydrogen around. you connect to engine bay metal to ground it.

anyway most shops connect to -ve either way...

they also like to change battery while car is on to avoid resetting ECU & Radio etc but this poses a risk of frying your electronics because no load present when the battery is removed.

where to change and how much budget? brand of the battery?
my location is equinne park, is there any nearby shops to suggest?
*
amazing you can use over 2 years, most can tahan 1.5 years already good.

i suggest try the Century Wet battery hybrid, no need frequent top up water, just check once every 6 months to be safe. cheaper than dry. one guy in garage section do free delivery.

regarding tyre, if you go highway or drive on rainy season, best to change better tyres... with weak tyre no ABS/VSC/ESP can help much.

approximately how much the cost to change timing belt/v belt and water pump and all the ancillaries ?
*
1k+ if everything is done at a Proton SC. About Rm500 ~ RM600 for aftermarket parts including engine oil, FEAD belt and water pump change.

Anyone had their head gasket changed? how many km & year did you do it?

Mine had leaking engine oil but not severe just stains. less than 40k km.
*
I think the leak is probably from the rocker cover. The fix is around RM100 or less including labour, seal and sealant.

Don't think so. 5 degree is also extreme and probably impossible without getting into a bad accident or replacing some parts of the suspension.

kinda similar issues with you few months back, and yes I was driving the 2009 model as well, and also my mileage is quite low as well.
solution : replace engine mounting, problem solved. but you better consult a good mechanic first.
