  1. Software currupt?
  2. This topic has been discused before. Local operating conditions and fancy low viscosity ultra-thin engine oils don't go togeather well on the long term. TT.
  3. Ever took into account the quality of local diesel?
  4. Yes. Enjoy your A/c.
  5. Rest assured , your A/c repair place has done a good job or the compressor is over runnging( not cutting off.
  6. Hi Paul, Welcome to Autolanka. Sorry to hear of your transmission failiure, you must factor in the cost of replacement / conversion cost and the usability + reliability you'll get from the repair. Do check availability of parts for the manual conversion before dismantling the vehicle. Cheers TT.
  7. Pls upload a pic, is the cover turning into white powder?
  8. LX, GLX and and Executive. = EU spec cars brought to SL used. TT.
  9. Make sure both cooling fans turn on with the A/c.
  10. You might also want to check the hoses and clamps before putting the coolant in the cooling system.Add tothat the condition of the pressure cap[. TT.
  11. Stop using the A/c . Compressor is switching off due to system overheating. Where are you . to direct you to a mech/workshop.
  12. Hope you did'nt get the alignment checked by them.
  13. Get the alignment checked, wheels balanced, and maintain recommended tyre pressure with periodical wheel rotating. TT.
  14. .Check the alternator belt for slipping, and bat posts for loos connectins and oxide/salt build-up. You may have a prob with the charging system, to comfirm, get a volt meter and hold to battery terminals with the engine on , at slow speeds with the bat warning on. And see what the reading is,.. TT.
  15. Did you give your car to clean the interior? or get flooded?
  16. 1.It's a used car,so you'll be left to fix probs the previous owner/s have left ,for another day. 2.Recommended services by the local dealer is 10.000km or one year, whichever occurs first. 3.If you are concerned about fuel, dont buy one. Cheers, TT.
  17. Waterpump leaking ?
  18. Is the expansion tank filled to the MAX level and no higher? an overfilled extank will spill coolant as th engine warms up. TT.
  19. First, the parking br, works on the rear wheels .
  20. I'd change to a better quality multy-grade gear oil as our country is heading to it's cool season.
  21. Local agent for lucas will not be of help. Try the net, but postage to us may be a prob,.. TT.
  22. Not forgetting the cooling fans. make sure they are working and at the right speed.
  23. Lack of maintentenance will leave any transmission resting in pieces.
