Hi Have just changed my front springs to aftermarket springs (lower), how long should i need to wait for them to "settled" before going for alignment? Can i just do front wheels alignment or for all? Thanks in advance.

Hi all! Am quite new in this forum. One question: Possible to change to synthetic engine oil instead of mineral oil during the 5K servicing? Does that mean that it is bad for car engine if change back to mineral next time? thanks

It's wierd. After cooling down (left for more than 2 hours)....my engine will start at the first crank. Then I drive it (in the carpark - MSCP) and as I drive...within a minute, the engine starts to have fluctuations in the revolutions. It will go above 2000rpm without throttle input, and fall to almost 1000....then rise and fall....gradually bottoming out below 700rpm where the engine proceeds to die. And then it refuses to start! Yesterday..before going to the esplanade, I had to push the car into a lot, so as not to block traffic in the carpark. Thankfully, there was a lot on the level which my car stalled. I then had to keep cranking....for more than 15mins (more than 10s of cranking...then resting it for a minute.) Finally.....I decided to crank for a longer period at least 20-30s. And the engine finally starts! ....and I leave it to run idle for a minute. Then I proceed to switch it off.....and then I restart...and it starts on the first crank. We drive to the esplanade without incident. In fact..the car feels very responsive...and more powerful (I don't know why...) And after seeing the fireworks....the same thing happens ! And with the engine fluctuating again! I pushed the car into the nearest lot (up a slight slope - Marina Sq carpark) After a few more failed attempts...for some wierd reason, I decide to crank it again for as long as it takes to start....and again...around 30 secs of cranking allows the engine to start! With everyone looking at me I decided to rev the engine to see if there was any other problems. Nothing again. And we proceed home without incident....and with the car being very responsive. Anyone saw a Black Presea....intermitently speeding (way above speed limit) last night?... Anyway....I hope that it starts today Anyone with any ideas as to why it behaves like that?? Could it be....too much petrol (the fuel attendant overfilled my tank earlier that day)?

I realised that after a rain, one of my headlight actually have water vapour forming insider. Is it somewhere leaking that causes water vapour to be formed inside the headlight assembly ?

Hi all, I just came back from my Malaysia and upon return, the car have lost its power.Though not by much, the lost is significant especially during cruising. I have done the following 1) Change the petrol filter 2) Service the engine oil, oil filter and air filter. 3) Change the spark plugs to Denso Iridium. However the result is the still the same.Any clues as to why ? Thanks.

Yo bros, Does having some high-powered ICE eqpt (about 1000W rms) cause significant increase in fuel consumption? IMO, shouldnt be the case as the alternator is constantly supplying power to the car so long the engine is running. Might be the additional weight of the eqpt that bogs down the car more. Any comments on the abv reasoning?

Hi all, Anyone got 'Kang Tao' for cheap & good computerised wheel alignment. I've upgrade my stock springs to Eibach Pro-Kit, lowered by 1 inch. I've done it on my previous car in J.B., forgot which shop but it was cheap (due to exchange rate) but it was at least 5 years ago
