have to do major service.

since you never done aircond service before, need to change all, if lucky no need to change compressor. need at least 1k+ without compressor.

ps: based on my experience on my saga.

not because of cheap version or lemon unit.

more like it's normal for owning a car.

change but not do preventive maintenance, deswai so lousy.
every year need to do normal service service. (change compressor oil, gas, receiver drier, expansion valve)
within every 3-4 years, need to do major service. (open dashboard, inspect / wash cooling coil, condenser, etc.)

change all the aircond parts systems and hope to last long, that is not a good mindset.
doing a preventive maintenance on your aircond systems juts like you do engne oil change, really do keep it last longer.

when car is even new, after a year use also need to do service, that is most new car owners neglect.

every year service is appropriate, if look at how long you use your car + aircond in a day/week/month. if frequent use, so once per year is good.

there are two types of service, 1 is normal service, another is major service.

whatever reasons all say, "aircond still cold, no need service" is one of common mistake car owners did.

you should start learn about aircond servicing.

from source below, you will learn that aircond servicing is not just cleaning only, but also replacing parts, such as receiver drier and expansion valve.

yes, it's a closed system, so meaning if aircond not cold, it means gas leaking somewhere. no need ask topup gas because already leaking what for topup.
why need service? because inside airocnd got oil for compressor to work smoothly. when you neglect service, oil become bad, and make it clogged then it tends to leak. worse it you will forcing the compressor to work harder until one day it will be rosaked. see video understand more. i ask you simple question, why you change engine oil, power steering oil, brake oil, radiator coolant, gearbox fluid etc when you say it's a closed system? hope i make you clarify about it.

as you got a 2nd car, you need to go workshop for detail inspection. / checkup.

this is a basic steps after getting a used car.

i hope the flood is not high. not advisable to drive thru flood unless from a safe flood height.

replacr the driver side one?

i can think of :

try troubleshoot car key first.
use spare key. the main key put far far away.

other than that is maybe the central actuator kong or maybe alarm module.

if its locked only and not auto unlock still ok for me.

my saga same like you, after unlock, still auto lock after a few seconds even after open door. just make sure car key still in hand, just in case.

disable the butterfly is cost lesser than change whole set IAFM.
change new IAFM still the problem will haunt back.
disable the butterfly = use back old IAFM but with side effect, like powerwoot say.

according to my saga, there should be a fuse for turn signal. check that first. fuse box located at dashboard near steering. then there is 1 fuse for alarm / turn LH and 1 fuse for alarm / turn RH. but highly possible is the turn signal fuse.

what relay did it mention anyway?

at least you mention the exact name so that in the future, can be a guideline for others.

if never do tyre rotation, tyres at front will wear out fast. as you know front tyres tend to wear out faster than rear tyre due to the weight of the engine in front.

i like you before, change only front tyres, then new one put at rear, the old rear put to the front. then when the time comes, i change all 4 tyres then start do tyre rotations. currently all 4 tyres are wear out evenly.

tyre rotation should start from the beginning when change new same brand tyres, then continue do every 10k mileage recommendation and when the tyre condition is good.

that is the proper way to do tyre rotation and how to get properly wear out all 4 tyres.

imo, to get the best experiences on GY triplemax, you should get it on all 4 tyres. anyway, it' all on your decision.

p/s: this is based on my noob non car guy experiences anyway.
