Any workshop will do... they will replace the motor gun that drives the lock...

My first suspicion will be fuel pump & filter were choked or failure. When was it last inspected or change? Does your rpm stable during idling for the last few weeks? Do you suspect your igniter coil have problem since the car already above 11yrs old?

Rpm stable still able to crank start everytime after stall 

Last serviced at harmony to replace most of the wear and tear parts

Fuel pump and filter I'm not so sure

Looks like your mechanic have very little knowledge on systematic trouble shooting , to me he is a "fisherman ". The next thing you know he will adv you to replace the vehicle.

Sorry, forgot to add that diagnostics shows #4 misfire, had switched plug and ignition coil. Second check shows same #4 misfire. Currently using 95. Will ask ws to check the sensors. Thanks for the info. 

@Flatline  Hi, have you resolved your issues? Can advise on what is the cause?

This morning I went to rectify my 2009 Avante's steering knocking sound and feel when turning. I replaced it when my car was at around 80k km? Now that my mileage is at 170k km, it has to be replaced again. Probably the bushing has a lifespan of 80k km or so. Thankfully it was a fast job of less than an hour and need not removed the entire steering column for it. From the photos, you can see it is pretty much worn out and the material has become softer. The new one, the material is harder. Price is around $300. Got it done at AMK autopoint ACM workshop. Got to say the work done was delicate.

Do you steer a lot? Like drive up and down car park ramps a lot? Or make many right angled turns a day requiring you to crank the steering wheel from lock to lock frequently in a day?

Steer for parking yes but seldom lock to lock. And seldom drive up or down the ramp also.

Wah... then 80K wear for the steering bushing is a bit much isn't it?

I'm not sure, it seems to be at the interval of these mileage. If this is abit much, I tell you something that is even absurd. My brake light switch has been replaced at intervals of around 3 years. Is not that I am an excessive braker. I checked with those driving auto Avante, they don't face this brake switch failure thingy while mine's a manual has been replacing 5 to 6 pieces throughout my 12 years ownership of this car.
