I am driving classic.

Price discussion you should try the other thread.

Advancer you are not alone. My car is classic too....

 

I just settled the final payment with my SE. She told me she will register my car next Tuesday.

 

If everything goes smoothly, I am collecting my car next Saturday. It's my 2nd time going to West Coast to collect car. What are the things to take note when collect car.

While the functional checks are important, they are usually covered by waranty. If the lights suddenly stopped working during the first few days, I would think that they are covered by warranty.

 

I concentrated on defects on leather seats, interior and exterior panels including rims and tyres.

Defects can be covered up by polishing so do be extra careful.

Doors, boot and bonnet panels should be flushed and easy to open/close.

Check exhaust tip for paint marks.

 

Also open up the engine bay to check for leaks, coolant level or signs of repairs.

Can't recall but not much. Also check the mileage.

It can be quite stressful because a lot of checking and information.

Just stay relax. Basically check those warranty do not cover.

Will installing a 2 ch in car camera by 3rd party void the warranty? Anyone's SE is advising this?

My SE advise me to install the camera outside even though BM sells blackvue cameras....

Was reading in the mazda3 forum that will void warranty. This kind need black and white?

I also considering the two channel black use BM is offering.

Since BM sell car camera, I think installing the camera on our ride should not void warranty.

 

You may want to compare with blackvue website to compare the pricing. If you want to do 24 hr recording, better include a powermagic to monitor the battery voltage...

The G11 driver mat has 2 lock down which I prefer which is why I hesitated with the 3M mats. I do agree with you the big improvement the 3M mat will give. I also feel like getting the dash cover from the vendor here.

You mean there is the 3M dash cover suitable for altis. How much is the cost?

Cannot think, must confirm.

 

Strange, previously I thought I saw BM also offer the external battery. Not it is missing from their website.

The battery part is what I worry about - the battery like very small capacity.

 

I think I wait awhile. Someone please install one and let us know ! [laugh]

My SE got me a free front camera but done by 3rd party outside. He didn't say it will void the warranty, thus I believe it is safe to do so.

Do the our Altis come with aircon filter when delivered?

 

Yes bro, same like any Toyota car.

1) Open the gloves compartment.

2) Empty the contents you put in gloves compartment.

3) Press the 2 clips, 1 on each side and slowly slide it out.

4) You will see a white mesh, that is the air-con filter.

 

Cheers.... [:)]

Don't think it will void warranty.

Ever listen to an SE nego between customer and BM Svc workshop mechanic.

Mechanics keeps says it is interfering with the head unit operating properly while SE told him it is not.

In the end, he told the customer to take the car out, go back to the installer to redo the wiring, just to make sure it is not interfering.

 

Honestly, don't think it should void warranty unless the installer did not connect properly resulted in vehicle being damage.

just to clarify, white mesh is just a cover to the aircon filter tray compartment. The filter tray inside have the filter installed already?
