hi englandcaptain, can u describe more of the type of sound u hearing?

does it sound like steel brush against steel? high pitch? low sounds?

is it coming from front or rear? or both?

happens in the morning only or happens throughout the day?

how long have you travelled since you changed ur brake pads?

let us know more n we can help to pin point the problems. sometimes, its a simple installation issue like brake 'shim's are not installed properly. its the little metal plate that ur brake pads rests (in between pump cylinder n the brake pad).

greetings everyone.

regarding trunk lid, i've installed it and its only cosmetic purpose. looks better than seeing all ur wires dangling out from the rear number plate.

the material is carpeted and PVC on the inside. it has 3M quality double sided tapes and it will stick well after installation. neat, nice and above all very very easy to install.

good price at rm95 incl. postage if i'm not mistaken. mine is a twilight blue CPS so i guess it will be nice on either dark or light coloured cars.

got it from www.protonwajapart.blogspot.com and yes i believe since all pics are same, they came from the same source.

nice and friendly seller. can't remember the name though.

good luck guys. :-)

sorry OT a bit. is tat a fuel filter on the right side of the pics? its connected to the hoses there..

jackyleo, wats the problem?

how old is ur car?

have you serviced ur car recently?

what have been serviced?

let us know ur car history n we should be able to pinpoint some solutions for u.

i'm not actually too sure about alternator causing power loss while driving. best way is to check the battery voltage during start up and while the engine is running. another tell tale sign if your alternator is weak or not charging is during the start up of car. you will feel its harder to start the car with a weak battery.

wat other parts have you 'necessarily' changed?

if u r talking abt the front engine cover, then there is the OEM fiber like cover already. its to keep the heat from front hood cover.

*clogged brojoe.

press both panic n unlock button together. you should get back the normal sounds. press both buttons again to activate the silent mode.

try cleaning the terminals before plugging back and make sure tighten. can i know u ground at which point?

should be possible. check protons parts website. i think rm1000++ per side. but you might be require the switch to make the levelling mechanism workable on older waja. cheers.

erhm.. try to google for drexchan's gounding points. he's got a DIY webpage with pictures. i think there might be a loop that's causing your vehicle to be messed up some how.

Added on August 17, 2009, 2:44 pmagree with b48753, you take off either one point +ve or -ve is ok. your alternator is running the engine once the engine has been started. but if your engine died after you taken off any one of the battery terminal, then there is smth wrong abt ur alternator.

abt the frying of ECU with a terminal coming off, i don't think that will happen on proton cars. i doubt it will happen but i will leave it to other experts to answer correctly.
