Above person's neighbour's friend's son's classmate's mom's sister told me when I snuck in through the bedroom window one night at the time new gazette was being published.

The garage you used must be especially shitty. First time I'm hearing of this.

Interesting, I thought it would be piston then con rod.

Well in the case of my van, we made a 250% profit on it *giggle*. But then we bought it in 1998, when vehicle prices were at an all time low (unreg Hiace Super GL only 950K... whuuuut??) It's the high taxes coupled with relatively low cost of ownership that drives up prices of vehicles, especially used ones. Rarity is another, in the case of vans. 10 years ago, we would have turned up our noses at any vehicle that was converted to diesel, but now, diesel conversions fetch prices as high as the proper diesel version of that vehicle, the Townace KR4x series being a prime example of this phenomenon. In other countries, the cost of maintenance and insurance of a 10 year old vehicle would be wouldn't financially feasible when considering how cheap new cars go for. A big part of this is the borrow based culture of these countries and how cheap borrowing is. Hell I was offered an E90 328 for "just $500/m with $5000 down for 3 years". Allion/141 driving Thel Hingannas pay more than that for longer over here.

Turn the key to OFF (or take it out), and move the drivers seat all the way forward, and look underneath it from the rear. There should be visible a wire with a white connector. Unplug and plug it back in, and then turn the key to IGN. You should now see the seat belt light flash. (this is a Vios btw)

Unless bits of valve or piston broke off and impacted on the con rods, I doubt they're damaged. However, at this point we need more detail from the OP before speculating any further. I'm assuming the heads and pistons were inspected when the valves were replaced.

So this is different from the "Kara Kara" sound that was coming the last time? Or is ch pronounced k?

I believe A pillar visibility is an issue for any car if the radius of the turn is tight enough. However, some cars _are_ worse sorted than others. My Townace had a huge A pillar blind spot, and the Vios isn't much better really. The Suzuki SX4 hatch on the other hand is lovely; It has quarter windows aft of the steering wheel, perfectly countering the A pillar blind spot.

He has already replaced the valves.

Are you familiar with the concept of depreciation?

I think he just wants to find out the fuel consumption relative to what he's already driving.

Get the fuel pump properly aligned, and then check if the engine miss is still there. If so, get the injector in the 4th cylinder inspected.

If only they put up those lamps on the left side of the road as well. Its very difficult dodging debris when doing 120km/h.

Leave it at home and use public transportation.

He couldn't have timed it any better, what with the end of the world coming in 2 months new cars coming in 2014 thus pretty much resetting the entire playing field.

Not that I know of. No doubt the doors have counter balances to make opening and closing easier.

The ICS update for my phone was released recently. I too had to do a complete wipe of the phone prior to upgrading it, but since I had taken the time to backup my apps, it really wasnt an issue. The time consuming part was adding all the accounts (9 in my case), and getting the calendar visibility sorted out. After that it was a cake walk, i just set play on auto update and left it connected to the office wimax the whole day.

Go to people, and press the menu button. From there you should be able to select which sources will be used to populate contacts from. If you sync your contacts with google, leave that box ticked and the rest unticked.

I've been a fan of the beast ever since it was first revealed. The designers have really hid the bulk of it well by keeping things scale. You can see exactly how much armour it has if you look carefully at pictures where the door is open. You can get a very good look at the doors in the Dublin video. Edit: Here's the rear door

And the proverbial fly just fell into the soup.

I guess you didn't catch on to the irony of his post

Hey I came up with that moniker

Get the IAC inspected. It's probably just needs to be cleaned.

Thats what you get for being a cheapskate, duh.
