i think your seat is lose. Happened to my iswara before. You need to push/pull the whole seat front/back to allow the "locking gear" in place.

Not sure it works but you can try.

it is supposed to strengthen your car body when you corner at high speed. I personally do not think it add value since we are not going to use this car for racing.

Correct me if i am wrong. Still learning...

if you are going to bulk mat to fix on bonnet, let me know:) i think it will help to reduce the engine noise.

i think gear change has got nothing to do with engine temp whether it is at 1st bar or 3rd bar.
anything above 3rd bar should trigger you that the temp is behaving abnormal

actually, higher CC car doesnt mean that it will use more petrol. Please dont understand it wrongly.
not necessary 1.0 viva consume lesser petrol than 1.3 saga.
not necessary auto consume more petrol than manual.

For petrol consumption, basically depends on your driving style.
