richard_crl032 6th Gear January 5, 2018 Share January 5, 2018 (edited) My SE given one booklet for coverage the windscreen one for a period of 5 years think at 120 buck.... tot AIG or MI got cover for the first year, so I have not consider it, is this correct? But the screw/parts i think should be able to find locally from car shop or DIY shop? Seem this kind of screw not the unique type like common type... In case, i buy and got missing the fender screw, maybe will try search here... cos need to comm with ezbuy CS is take long.... Hi Titanic, You mean warranty booklet in case solar film bubbles, peels off, decolours etc. due to mfgr defect ? This is nothing to do if your windscreen cracks and you need to replace the windscreen and have to reapply new solar film which owner has to pay. Cheers.

Especially from inside the car, it can be obvious. But giving credit that the external crack was repaired to quite some extent. Maybe it was my expectation. It could have been dealt with better if explained to me earlier before carrying out the repair :) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky2007 Turbocharged January 5, 2018 Share January 5, 2018 Good morning, anyone had claimed insurance from AIg regarding windscreen crack or change of windscreen. The excess is 100$ Any alternative? This morning, something hit my windscreen and it resulted in a crack (1 - 1.5 cm) Other than Dr Glass, another bigger company is Glassfix who is authorised glass fitter for most brand and they also fix windscreen small crack. i fixed up a sunroof small crack with Dr Glass and it’s a good job done, cost $60 and I claimed the repair cost with my insurer (contact agent, take photos of crack and process of repair, and enclose receipt). The insurer is more than happy to reimburse me $60 for the Repair than to pay $1-2k to replace the entire windscreen or sunroof or other parts of car glass 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_crl032 6th Gear January 6, 2018 Share January 6, 2018 Battery. Currently I'm at 20,000KM. just did servicing on 5Jan18. Leng Kee said my batt is weak, 330CCA(New is 390CCA). Is the original batt a Wet Cell Battery? Anyone has change your batt ? Any brand to recommend ? Thanks in advance! Hi falcon, Heard many forester owners use amaron pro but it should not matter cos forester is not demanding on battery unlike other cars with stopstart.

Can be bought locally, I just don't like the answer they gave that it can be secured without or without the screw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been dealt with better if explained to me earlier before carrying out the repair :) The repair looks good, as long as it is not obvious it is tolerable. Just look like a tiny scratch. I actually totally forgotten about my repair until four years later when it discolour slightly but still not obvious. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_crl032 6th Gear January 13, 2018 Share January 13, 2018 For some reasons I felt my fxt is less power after the first servicing. Not sure why ....Hi Immotive, Also quieter ? Then perhaps eo at its thickest which damps sound better but drags more. When eo used and degraded towards 10k km, it should be its thinnest that feel more powerful since less drag but wun protect engine abd turbo parts and hence you need to service ? Cheers.

Chucky2007 Turbocharged January 13, 2018 Share January 13, 2018 Maybe Engine oil overfilled causing slightly more sluggish performance ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
