Any recommendation for Saga BLM Auto (2008 ) engine mounting? I was quoted RM550 for a whole set with installation which I think is quite expensive considering the labor cost is RM200. I looked around online it cost around RM170 to RM230 but not sure which brand is good.
*

I recently change my whole set of engine mounting, bought it from shopee for RM172. My usual workshop charged me RM150 for labour. It has been a few days, feel pretty good, the shaking on the steering wheel is gone.

https://shopee.com.my/Proton-Saga-BLM-1.3-A...4344.5308092872

I am also using their tie rod end, rack end and lower arm. So far so good.

Some say this brand not bad also.

https://shopee.com.my/SAGA-BLM-AUTO-Engine-...7265.7837111451

Mine is the automatic, make sure you choose the correct one.

Hi, anybody has light bulbs to recommend. The original 1 is really dim, can't see that far. I recently came across this on shopee. Anybody using this, or used this before. Wanted to change to LED but seems like need to modify the rubber cover.

Answer to no. 3

A good paint job would set you back for about rm4k

I was planning to repaint my '09 Saga BLM, I was thinking maybe around 2 or 3k. Guess I'll have to put it on hold for now.

Btw anyone know a reputable workshop for:

1) Replacing new drive shafts
2) Replacing new shock absorbers

My BLM after 11 yrs needs to replace already. Thanks.

Make sure when you change your absorbers, change the spring also if you never changed it. Also check the other components that link to the suspension system, lower arm, stabilizer link, tie rod end, rack end. My car have changed all that and it feels good now. I still have not change my drive shaft yet. If you have the budget change your engine mounting also.

Has he changed this hazard button? I had that happen to me once. Shop wants RM100 to replace it while the store only sells it for under RM30, hope he can follow this and DIY.

edit: This video has a better camera angle.

I have the same problem, mine after press won't stay in place, it will go back to original position. This is helpful.

Depends your condition:
Absorber:
if all 4 pcs front and back absorber should be around RM510 for KYB Excel G exclude labour (slightly better than Stock for handling).
If you go for better KYB RS Ultra Slightly expensive around RM560 exclude labour (Stiffer but alot better than stock).
Above price also exclude mounting and bush front 1 pair about 100, back 1pair about 80.

Spring:
If spring ok don't need change unless u feel ur spring very soft, original 4pcs 220 say really if not lowered FLX stock spring is ok already not too "soft". 

Lower Arm:
My FLX always got issue with lower arm. I really dunno is parts quality issue or what Original or Mitsubishi i used also same. Each year change 1 side. Rm 120-130 per side.

Stablizer link:
Ori 80 OEM about 40, but i usually go for ori OEM i takut the bush not tahan. So left and right sendiri x2 la.

Tie rod body + rack end + rubber boot :
1 set left right RM80

Drive shaft :
Left and Right 550 (Auto and Manual might have slight different price, this is Manual price, but wont too far apart la)

Engine Mounting:
1 set - Auto 200, Manual 230
All these exclude labour ya. Happy major maintenance for ware and tear.
*

I would recommend you to change the springs also if never change before. My car is 10 years++. I changed my absorbers only thinking that I can use back the old springs. After install new absorbers feels like no effect. After that I went and change my springs again. Paid 2 time for labour charge. Absorber I am using KYB RS Ultra and KYB K-Flex for springs

Where you change your absorber and spring? how much ya ? I found 1 at Shah Alam absorber only full set charging me RM900 for KYB RS Ultra
*

I changed it at my usual workshop, if I am not mistaken it is RM60 per side for the labour, total is RM240 for 4 sides.

This is for the time I change my absorbers only. Then I have to pay another RM30 per side to change my springs.

Hi, anybody experience oil leaks from the engine like me. Changed twice the valve cover gasket, after a while still leaking oil, or could it be the leak is coming from somewhere else. Mine is a 2009 Saga BLM.

How bad is the leak? As is do you need to top up engine oil before schedule service?
*

I don't need to top up the oil because when i check the dip stick, it is still at the acceptable level. Looking at the engine bay area, there is oil pretty much everywhere. When I park my car for a while, I checked and there is no oil on the ground.
