You no use the water in the wiper reservoir to clean your windscreen before? Or they top up the water for you during your car servicing?

I coat my windscreen so no need to use the water from the reservoir to clean the windscreen.

by the way, idk if u guys experienced this yet, but whenever im driving on the expressway (i tink above 80 kph), whenever i start to rest my feet on the brakes (haven't step on it yet), i can feel my brake pedal is vibrating constantly. Not sure if this is normal or not, but do u experience this?

[Discoburg]

Haha I also 'experienced' this recently. Never done that before and I also dunno why.

 

Thinks its normal ba, Had consulted the good guys from MG about it.

oh wow, so many similarities! wat did the guys from MG say?

[Discoburg]

Nothing much. As long as the vibrations is not when brakes are applied.

[Discoburg]

Haha is this your first car? Some parts of a car are secured by clips or sockets.

yeah lol, can show me where's the clips or sockets?

[Discoburg]

The whole bumper is basically held by clips, same as the grill. Door panels are also held to the door frame by clips.

Not in the next 2 months. Iâll continue to drive this for awhile more. Doesnât make sense to change it now.

I just checked on 1motoring... my 4yo mz2 if deregister now.. paper value left would be 40% of my purchase price.

 

Doesn’t sound too bad at first ...

 

Not looking to change. Still enjoying this car....

I was filling up the wiper water and noticed there's the wire that we've been talking about too. It's the first time I've noticed it. 

 

I also realised this morning that the tachometer (the small digital LCD screen that shows the rpm), when I turned the car off, the screen goes off as expected. I saw there was a bit of burn in of the mileage reading, where I can see the digits although the LCD and everything else is off. It's more obvious under the sun or if you shine a torch when parked under shelter. Checked the other small LCD screen on the right (the one showing the petrol level) and there's no issue.

 

The car is no longer under warranty and I don't think I'll get it fixed unless it is part of a more serious problem. Sometimes it's more of my OCD and I tend to be bothered by these imperfections more when I know it is there.

 

hey I saw this too, can see the mileage value on the LCD screen after i turned off the engine...

Only place I can think of is in Malaysia. Never heard of it available locally other than TEK.
