Took a second look and saw that there was a circular metal piece that goes between the hinge body (connected to the car body) and the hinge pin (the metal beam that connects both hinges from the door and the body together).

That piece was out of its place, which caused the hinge pin to become loose within the hinge body, thus causing the freeplay. So it was a matter of lifting the door, and taking a screwdriver and hammer to knock the circular piece back into its place.

Problem solved.

that day my engine oil leaking and affected the clutch cover and timing belt. took to a shop near shah alam and it cost me 900+.. did i just kena pancung?

Wow thats alot dude.. I may think twice if want fix my 16years old kancil with that money..

i ask the pomen if its coming from the gasket n he say no. then he say have to take out the whole engine to fix it and change affected area. Below is a list of stuff that he had done on my car.

timing belt
flywheel oil seal
drive shaft oil seal
clutch plate & bearing & housing
coolant
labour/workmanship
government tax 5%

and then after fixing it my alignment ciao dy and he say they did nothing that would affect the alignment.. im kinda upset with it coz money spent but it is not in the best driving condition that i had before with my kancil.

I think it affects allignment.. Last time i changed drive shaft didnt affect allignment but my steering wheel became 'out of position'..

yup.. mine too.. send to another shop to fix the alignment but somehow it just feel funny.. when gear shifting.. letting the steering off my hand.. n even my drive shaft got sound now..

Hi, kancil use 10W30 lubricant ?

ref: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...ubricant+kancil
1) Touring (Mineral) SM/CF 10W30 (3Liter) - RM45 <Engine below 1000cc, Kancil,Viva,Myvi, etc>


Mineral Eneos good ?
want do service already.

now RM40 can go 245KM - 11.67 km/l

4 pcs tyre old, alignment run.
timing belt also buruk i think want change already.

should be how much 1 by1 ?

Plz give direction where got nice service centre, my experience some of the service centre look not so welcome, may be kancil service so cheap.

Added on June 7, 2011, 12:16 pmActually it is safer to change the timing belt if you just took over the car or the previous owner can tell you when they changed. A normal timing belt needs to changed after every 80,000 kms. although some belts states 100,000 kms.
The other day, I asked the foreman to check if it still can last, he opened up the cover and test if there are any slack in the belt. Loose or slacking means used quite some time and mine was still tight. Although not a really sure way but it is the only way until I change it in a few months.

i change mine the other day coz kena minyak hitam.. my bro's wira same thing happen.. kena minyak hitam n snap.. habis whole engine koyak..

true true dun play play with timing belt or else it top overhaul....$$$

wow so serious.. my mom hand over the without telling me.. but there is a sticker about the next timing belt change on the cover.. i guess i have to check it tmr.. what will happen if timing belt putus? because i always travel about 40km daily.. ><

I tell you what happens when a timing belt snaps. I was driving to Muar in my former 320. Those days all BMWs are 6 cylinders. After exiting Muar, suddenly the engine just shuts down and everything just went quiet like an alien has sucked the power out. I cranked the engine but nothing happened.

My mistake was trying to push start the car. When you push start it, you turn the crank which pushes the conrod and pistons up and down. But because the timing belt has snapped the cam shaft is not turning and the valves are stuck. When the pistons comes up, they start banging on the valves and breaks some and bent some and it also punch holes into the head unit.

I slept in my car that night with my wife and the freind whom I was driving to Benut to see a bomoh because his wife left him Anyway next morning discovered a nice coffeeshop with nice teh panas and toast just where our car broke down. Towed the car all the way to KL and found out that I have to change the cylinder head, 9 valvves and 2 pistons. At that time there were no potong kereta spare parts. Needless to say, you can guess the damage.

yup. valve bengkok. if driving fast and timing belt putus then will cause the engine block to pecah due to fast knocking of the valve and suddenly jam.

Falken 155/70/12 ?
Ini tebal type kan ?
If original what size ya ?
I am looking for original only.

RM460 - RM20 (balancing) = RM440 / 4 = 1 pc RM110

better than i change continential beside my home here, normal 1 also want RM110.

....

Actually the tyre cost RM108 each plus balancing. The balance is for alignment services. Both front and back. Yes, the original size for 12 inch rim is 155/70/12. I see alot using 14 inch rims with 165/55/14 and I wanted to change too but seeing the potholes and uneven road condition in KL, I think I change later when I move back to small town.

going to change my engine oil soon.. 6000km after last change dy.. after that change new tyres also since tyre thread almost finish..

what tyre brand bro? 13" or 14"?
