the first battery was century provided by factory of course for 3 years, then use century again and it last me more than 2 years. Changed to yokohama for 2 years plus and some random china battery which last check no longer giving much power.

Is century still good? heard many say no longer as good as it used to be. how about Amaron?
*
should take Century Ultramax, bigger CCA than other century.

now Amaron is the new trend. should change to Amaron, Amaron Go, but can consider bigger CCA such as Hi-Life or Pro.

mine (saga) from stock RAMCAR, to Century Marathoner, Century IZU and now Amaron Go. all (except Amaron Go)lasts around 2.5 years. USe Amaron GO since November 2018 iinm.

other battery brand can consider :

Panasonic
Varta
GP
Yokohama

P/s: make sure battery is original

any bro here tried TRW rotor? any reviews?

Im using Brembo normal rotor, work well with brembo brake pad. squeezing sound after changed other brand brake pad.

you should use same brembo brake pads couple with brembo rotors.

and for TRW rotor, should use with TRW brake pads for maximum performance.

and for workshop like @allenultra's, they will honor warranty if install TRW rotors with TRW brake pads only.

if hose leak, even car is at 90-100kmh also the engine will overheat? im not a car person lol.

hose leaking = insufficient coolant / water inside radiator
as from his history of radiator keep spinning about 10-15 minutes after off engine.

it is unfortunate that you did not able to avoid it (find the solution ) as the radiator fan spinning is the sign.

your case is i refer like the show seconds from disaster.

i am aware of the head gasket kong when temp reach max as i learned from saga thread long time ago. if something happens, if lucky, should never ever let the temp went max.

bty past is past. head kong already gone case. hope be lesson to all of us.

Then how to tell whether my car's gasket kong edi or not? Overheated few occasion and still driving for past 4-5 years no rasa. Is it only can tell by open-up engine top?
*
your car engine still running fine lor. that's how to know.

if gasket kong, your car cannot start, stranded kena tow.

your case is you are lucky, unlike others, that's all.

your lucky experience cannot say to everyone that it's still save to drive at temp max. because of what wklow unfortunate events, he pay the price ady.

but usually people will not learn until it happen to himself. #fact

i thought if cylinder head gasket fail, there should be tell-tale signs instead of engine straight cannot start? something like milo color engine coolant, engine misfiring etc. if do engine compression test can tell or not? i dunno, just random guessing based on lowyat /k lepak experience. biggrin.gif

tho my previous message is not intended to show-off my luck, it's more my worried anything damaged is already done on my engine without showing obvious signs..
*
what i explain is the sign. what you say is the end result.

like in the internet say, once continue driving with max temp, you will heard engine bloww and you car will stop. then it will be too late. bye bye engine, hello top overhaul.

if you concern about your engine condition, please check with your mech. actually you should already ask the mech before this about the engine condition when you reach max temp.

possible rosak because of #2.
last time i buy mr. diy bulb also not lasting. only last less than 1 week.

did the accessories shop guy touch the bulb glass?
this also possible cause touching the bulb glass with hand also shorten the bulb life.

try buy branded bulb e.g phiilip, osram. i buy online also can get phillip h7 premium rm12 per piece
try DIY install the bulb.

if do 2 things above still bulb not lasting, please check wiring, or bulb holder maybe problem etc.
