  1. Hi all, Need some advise. I am scheduled for 50K servicing for my BMW 120I cabriolet and I just got it second hand. It is a 2011 model and is 5+ years old. I am considering going to juzz for cars for servicing. Need some advise if they are good and worth it? Also, I was told to change the following: 1) Engine Oil 2) Oil Engine Filter 3) Gearbox Fluid 4) Gearbox Oil Filter 5) Rear differential fluid spark plug. Is the above all necessary to change? Appreciate your advise. Thank you in advance.
  2. Hi all, For those who fetching your family members to/from Tampines MRT station, pls be careful. I just received LTA traffic offence letter yesterday. The offence was stopping in a zebra controlled area at Tampines central. It carry a fine of $120 plus 3 desmerit points. It also require me to furnish the driver particular. As this is my first offence, not sure will I get another letter from the traffic police. Also, the letter stated that I can settle the fine by posting cheque when I return the furnish dirver particular form to LTA, but no receipt will be issue. So is it ok for me to settle my fine with them now, or they will send me another letter for the payment? Thank you

  4. Hello Everyone, I would like to seek your advice on my accident case. It was a rainy day and I am on the right lane (two lane road). The taxi driver on the left hit me on my left side and causes my car to ski. Unfortunately my car camera isn't working on that day. Photo evidences were submitted in the report. I have made a 3rd party claim (AXA). Question is what option do I have if 3rd party claim fails? I have called up my insurer (NTUC) and was informed that they will not be helping me on this unless I claim my damages from my policy. Thank you.
  5. Helping a friend find witness for her accident. The following is her account. Anyone who witness the accident can please drop me a PM. Or alternatively, can help make a statement at any police station. Thanks. Accident on 9 April 2016, around 3.15pm, at a relatively busy cross junction between Commonwealth Ave West and North Buona Vista Road. My vehicle SGV 1821S was turning right on green traffic arrow towards North Buona Vista road and a vehicle number SJB92E just dashed straight and we collided at 90 degree. I was bleeding but I managed to hop out of car to the pedestrian side traffic lights. The other party (uncle in striped red and blue t-shirt in 1 of the left hand side of my pictures) only cared about snapping pictures of the accident. I hopped out and the uncle upon seeing me, shouted at me saying why I never slow down n give way to him. He claimed his lights was green. I told him that his lights couldn't be green as my green right turn traffic light was on and not even blinking. After which, he ignored me and continued snapping pictures despite I was bleeding and limping. His wife just sat inside the car fiddling with her phone and showed a black face. He didn't even try to call police. I struggled and call police on my own n asked for ambulance. The other party wanted to claim all against me and insisted all fault on me. I was sole driver with no car camera. The other party was with his wife and their car had no car camera too.There is a LTA camera at the cross junction but Traffic Police said they are not sure if the footage is working. I suffered 1 cm cut and 3 stitches on chin, swollen left arm with bruises and abrasions, 3 molar teeth chipped, and 4 broken toes on right foot. The other party and wife were totally unharmed. I am appealing to kind souls who had witnessed the accident. Thank you very much.

  7. Hi guys, Thanks for stopping by. Im thinking of going Legoland in a couple of days so need information. Getting to Legoland after Tuas checkpoint, if i were to follow the signboards will it lead me directly there or is there a particular place i need to turn that has no signboard? Is it about 15 mins drive after clearing custom? I would like to check for those who been there and if they can recall how much is the parking rates.. If those apply for annual pass there is no further discount i suppose anyone of you applied for legoland annual pass AFTER the launch of Legoland? How long does it take for the pass to be ready? Any photo required? Thanks so much for your help and taking the time to reply.

  10. @scoryan done!. Hope you get witnesses coming forward "Urgent help needed for accident at about 6.50pm on 27/10/15 (Tuesday) Hi guys & gals, Not sure if this is the right place to post this thread. I'm really very unlucky to get into an accident on 27/10/15 ( Tuesday) at about 6.50pm after exiting the Bedok exit from ECP towards Changi. At the junction of Marine Parade Road and Bedok South Ave 1 (right after the ECP exit to Bedok), a lorry knocked off my left side view mirror and sped off. I stopped at the accident spot but the lorry continue driving away. As I could not see the lorry's licence plate clearly, I decided to speed over to stop his lorry. I did so but he insisted that he was right and didn't know he knocked my car although I have horned at him before and after he hit me. Maybe I should have just stayed put at the accident spot and called the police? Now, I believed it's his word against mine. Very sad... Are there any kind folks here or people you know who happened to witness this accident and captured it on his/her car camera? If yes, can you please pm me? Hopefully I can get the footage and it can be used for my insurance claim. Thanks a lot! *Thought of installing a car camera next month as a birthday present for myself but now it's too late... For those who wished to install a car camera, please don't wait. Please go and do it tomorrow." Thanks RadX and I hope to hear your kind and positive reply soon!

  12. hi to MCF bros and sis! Should i change my current 5.5 years old 2.4NA l4 sonata to a twin charge jetta 1.4tsi sports? I need advice as i am confuse between the two as they are very close together in terms of spacious, comfort and maybe engine performance. Anyway my question is 1. is the 1.4tsi far more powerful than my 2.4na ? if i happen to go genting , which of both engine is a better choice to climb up the steep slopes? 2. I know the 1.4tsi is good for traffic lights and the 2.4 is good for highway cruising! but my driving pattern is in sg is 50% highway and 50% urban and i am confuse should i stay on my sonata or change my car to the jetta?
  13. Hi. My car having a chemical/gas-like smell when entering the car before even start-up. This smells is worst during morning when first open car. Seems like no oil leak. Went to two workshop, they say most likely is cooling coil problem. Need to change the coil which cost quite ex. I abit not comvince as they only told me this solution by hearing my problem and smell. Cos i understand that for cooling coil, there's no way to check from exterior. So wondering is there anybody else having the same problem before or isit due to others problem? Before i proceed to replace the cooling coil which i dunno whether isit the cause of the problem. And I hd just change a new conpressor and filter a mths ago. Thanks.
  14. Just replaced my rear brake pad and noticed that it "bite" more and car is more reluctant to move . E.g have to step on accelerator before the car will move while previously it will slowly move ... Likewise it will slow down faster than previous. Also the brake disc , rim and tyre are now much hotter compare to the front . I know that it will take a while before the brake pad is "seasoned" but should I be concerned as the high temperature may affect the brake hose etc.... Is this normal or I should go back to see if something can be done.
  15. Will be back in Singapore end of this month for just 2 weeks with my family. Need an apartment for short term stay that can accommodate 4 people. Anybody has affordable apartment to let? Or where to go to find one?
  16. Dear ICE gurus, First of all I have to apologise for the series of goondu questions cos I'm a super noob abt ICE. I've recently purchase a used car (Daihatsu Materia). Didn't really pay much attention to the sound system when checking the car during purchase as I'm not too into ICE and like I've mentioned, I'm a noob lor. Aft collecting the car, I do some cleaning of the interior and discover a 'box' below the front passenger seat with cables. I serious do not know what it is and presume it to be an 'Amplifier'. I have attached pics for gurus to affirm my guess. At the same time, I realised that the front & rear speakers (on the doors) are somehow very soft and not too clear. The sound transmission was very much dependant on the speakers (or do u call that tweeters) on the dashboard. All these makes me pondering with a few questions in mind: 1) If what I saw is an amplifier, how come the sound/music fr the front & rear speakers? Always tout amp is supposed to 'enhance' the sound effect?? 2) Could the poor sound effect due to cable connection problems? 3) I know it might be difficult to 'diagnose' the problem from what I've described or what I've shown in the pic. That's why I am also asking ICE gurus the rough cost if I send the at to those car audio shop to check and maybe 'rerun' the cables or connections or maybe help diagnose the problem. And of course, the HU is stock factory fitted if u are asking, but I don't know the make/model. Think the brand is MAC or something bah. Thanks in advance and once again sorry for the goondu questions. I couldn't find the answers I'm looking for aft I use the search function.

  20. My 1 year old Volvo got hit by Merc E-class Car plate SJH6886K while parked in NUH basement Carpark. Carparked properly in lot, and the Merc side hit my car while reversing. I super suay, the idiot didnt leave a number or contact, i thought CCBKNN the fcuker got away..... then an uncle suggested to go see Carpark security office. I managed to get the security guys there to help me out. Manage to see the accident on video (they had like 100 plus camera there). I also got the carplate number and made police report. Also had side face photo of the fcuker. I went to Volvo repairs (under my insurance panel AIG authorized workshop). I was told that I had 3 options 1. pay up front and don't claims insurance, otherwise my NCD get hit, and my excess is $1400 . Was quoted 3k to change front bumper and car plate. Maybe able to claims against the other car but need to pay own lawyer fee ~$500 2. claim own insurance, NCD get hit 30% and still need to pay excess and try to claim against the other party with lawyer. 3. wait for TP to sort out before repairing so don't have to pay out any money outfront. If no one caught or the other party dont make report, I cant claims..... 4. superglue repair myself. my car plate now using blue tac to glue back on Any advice? Should i try other channels to get ppl to contact the owner to "persuade" him to make report and do the right thing? repair is 1 week - at least can get relief car :angry:
  21. Hi all, I am contemplating to change to a 2005 cefiro 2.3l. I used to drive my dad's cefiro 99 model. Tiink A32 model. Really miss the creamy smooth v6 engine. Remember the FC was 7-8km/l range. Tried to google ard for more fc info and got different feedbacks. Some got 6-7km/l, others got 9-11km/l. I am ok if it can average ard 8-9km/l. Anything more is bonus. Another concern is the maintenace. With the car ar its 6th yr, are there anything to look out for? The previous A32 was easy to maintain cos its very mechanical still but i dunno abt the 230jm. All inputs welcome..
  22. Husband in mid 50 is unable to pay off credit card loan of 60k, their 3 room hdb flat had been fully paid off.

  23. Just throwing this out here is case anyone might have a recommendation. I'm looking for someone that is willing to have a go at troubleshooting and repairing a motorcycle dashboard (lcd panel type). Suspected problem is a joint or solder crack due to vibration over time as the problem was first intermittent at higher vibration levels and then degraded. I have been told that the lcd panel is now totally blank (backlight is fine, warning lights are fine, just the lcd display kaput). So no harm letting someone have a go at it and see if anything can be done, i have already sourced a replacement from Italy but thought maybe i'd give this idea a shot. The unit is small (approx. 20cm x 12cm) and a self contained unit, only one CANBUS input in from the ECU if i'm not wrong. Can be easily removed and transported. From my understanding it is purely a display unit and does not contain any immobilizer. If anyone has suggestions for a shop or even an electronics hobbyist please let me know.
