damn pissed off. are they particularly aiming me because i'm a p-plater or just leaving it all the way ? what for ?

We heard quite some discussion abt Leather seats,from car ad,forum,review etc,the term "leather seat"is always being emphasized.As a new car owner myself,I would need some advise from the bros out there on how do we know if we are getting what we paid for. For example,we buy a car and wanted to change to leather seats,how we know if it is a genuine leather(usually not possible)?synthetic leather? PVC? or combination of these? Is it true that most of the time,PVC materials are being used?

Just like to share my experience with all ... I've recently took over a set of 215/45R17 ContiSportsContact2 from Modeldriver and I must say, the tyre is really quiet ! The CSC2 is supposedly classified as Type A+ and stock with many performance car,e.g. Porsche. Prior to this, I was using the "famous" AspecdB at 195/65R15. So, naturally, I am prepared for a huge degration in terms of tyre noise. P.S: The car gets quite a bit of tyre noise. With 15,000km used before I took over, the tyre can be considered worn to a certain extend. Even with the AspecdB, with this mileage, it is starting to get noisy. However, the CSC2 is extremely quiet for it's width and profile, only when going over road imperfection, does the thud sounds louder than AspecdB. To anyone who want to have a good compromise between tyre noise vs performance, this is highly recommended. P.S: According to Conti website, the tyre is made like a cat's paw. When on the move, the contact is lesser, but when braking, the tyre "spread" out thus covering more area. http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/...im_grip_en.html

My friend's corolla (AE101) radiator fan is always stuck "on" so his engine never gets to operating temp. Besides the fan relay being kaput, any other components to look out for?
