dude.
my best experience with batteries is from the brand amaron...
almost 2.8 years on the nissan

Sorry for so late reply...
Been crazy lately..
Hope u all are safe..

Not sure abt the pricing but shud do it la and keep a record in the SC database if anything shud happen to the compressor. That oil is very important to the item longevity. And gas just happen to come along for the ride.

spree manage to get ur vax jab?

Ya man..
Went the AZ way thru public offering on the net..
Aug 4 will be my 2nd jab..
Oh my ass...
Lol

I got the bezza cos of the auto tranny.
I didn't like the way proton did their cvt without a torque converter.
That was a major turn off for me.
I think the saga has better sound proofing than the bezza
I didn't spend much time in the saga, just a test drive so I don't know what's the overdrive rpm/100 kmh is like.
The bezza is like 2500 rpm. Makes for relaxed cruising. But 4th gear comes at 60 kmh and the rpm drops to around 1k + rpm and out of the power range of the engine.
I find that if I want to go faster, i drop to 3rd gear manually till I reach 80 kmh then drop to 4th gear for the cruise and where the rpm is around 2k n in the power band.

Bezza has long travel soft suspension which is good for bumpy city roads but not driving single in the hyway.
4 people in hyway is fine.
Gotta learn the car character to get the most from the car when wanting to go fast safely.
Got into a scary moment at the sprint hyway at the bangsar interchange heading to ttdi, at around 90 kmh and a car in front suddenly change lane, did a avoidance turn but at the point where the hyway was curving the opposite direction of my turn and I had do an opposite turn from the initial avoidance turn to follow the hyway, and can feel the car rear begin to loose traction,
The car doesn't like snap menuvers like that.
Granted that no car likes that, but the bezza is tall n light, so it doesn't like it more.. Lol
It was very gradual with lots of warning sounds from the conti cc5 tires. Dry condition.
Manage to save it with opposite lock.

Brakes could be better.
Seats not comfy for long drives.

Good things?
Fuel economy is good,
I can get 300 km for rm50 if I drive sanely. Or when my mom in law is in the car..
Mixed 60 hyway 40 suburbs/city.
Long distance can hit almost 600 km on a tank of gas going at 110 / 120..
Occasionally 140.

Big boot, good cruise rpm for a 1.3 na enjin.
Put the gear in 2nd and drag that peaky enjin to 5000 rpm and u'll surprise quite a few people. The enjin is actually quite revvy.. Happy to spin at the top end.

Overall a better all round car that'll last ur son for many years. And save petrol at the same time.

Yeah, sparks last quite awhile if in good condition.
Only thing is the stipulation in the warranty, but then again, it's 5 years and the end of the warranty period anyway..

ya, iridium, baring any oil leakage into to cylinder head, 100k is fine.
can ask mechanic to check the plugs to see the condition if wanna double check

Lol

the led source lamp vs halogen

led lacks the halogen in terms of luminous flux per volumetric size, meaning that for the led to produce the amount of lumens a standard halogen, needs to be larger.
the halogen is considered a 'point' source lamp, meaning that the lumens originate from a small point while the led is considered a 'wide' source lamp, almost a flood lamp.
thus the led lamps are larger compared to halogens.

reflector designed be it for symmetrical or asymmetrical for halogens are very specifically calculated for a certain light source.
these calculations for the reflector are to function as asymmetrical and focused on the road as opposed to the high beam that is focused high.
altho the main reasons for the main beam is to focus the illumination on the road, it has the added benefit of not causing glare to oncoming traffic.

since we are talking abt a original halogen source, lets start from there...
since led are larger than a halogen source, it emits light away from the calculated source designed into the reflector.
this is the same effect when using xenon lamps where the lamp is longer than the halogen and thus away from the point calculated into the design of the reflector.

the resulting retrofit is as u see on cars that seem to have their high beams on while using the main beams and this is what is termed as glare.

furthermore, led run hot and need good cooling systems or else they fail very quickly cos of the circuit board cant take the heat emitted from the led that is attached to the board.. causing meltdowns..
halogens were made to run hot... so no problems there.

good light fittings meant for led have very robust cooling fins for the fittings to achieve atleast 900 lumens, ie, a 50w12v halogen lamp's output..
retrofit led lamps have only half that at best cos the lamps do not come with cooling fins to fit into an existing enclosure/reflector and lamp holder (2 pin) and can hope to have any form of longevity.

thus is the current landscape of the led retrofit market today.

dude!!!!
long time no see!!!!!
how have u been???

Manufacturers warranty is 5 years

Fuaaaaaa
So long ah??
For a 1.0 manual..
Damn...

Haiyo....
Hope u get what u want..

just top up oil till next appointed time...

spree, what tire u find is a good balance between price comfort nvh n grip/aquaplaning?

my son smashed the hyway curb at speed n blew out the front tire...

thanks for the tip!!

thanks man

No wor...

Ooo..
That's the problem la...
So sorry it happened to u but thanks for sharing the problem n solution..
Good to know.

Mabbe like another poster above said,
Oil filter leak..?
Didn't install properly..
