  1. Hi all, There are scratches on my vehicle and some of them are bit prominent on the brake lights ( due to minor reversing accident!) These are not all that deep but minor scrapes in the area. As the vehicle body paint is black, event the minor scratches are somewhat clearly visible. Can you suggest a solution / place to remove these? i'm more worried about Scratches in the break lights! ... btw are garages that are specialized in body paint work capable of removing the scratches on the lights as well? Many Thanks guys!
  2. Hi All, Can anyone suggest a Garage or technician that i can take my KIA for repairs ? ( other than Car Plan - the agents). Many Thanks! cheers.
  3. Thanks for the info! yeah you got me with Mazda 3..... ( This also includes Axela as well right?) ...... with that i'll have to go for 2003 - 2004/5 models. newer models may be little far fetched with my Budget.
  4. just being gentle on the Environment ! btw..... free fuel is an assumption.....but i'm not a heavy user....so the weight on Fuel can be discounted. Thanks for your views.
  5. Dear all , Need your expert advise in choosing between following 4 options for a 2nd hand vehicle. my Budget - 3.5 M ( maximum) options i'm considering - Toyota Axio - 2007/2008 - Current market 3.3 m - 3.5 m ? - Toyota Prius - 2nd Generation ( 2008/9) - current Market 3.2 m - 3.5 m ? - Honda Insight - 2009/10 - current Market 3.1 m to 3.4 m ? - Honda Civic Hybrid - 2007/8 - Current market 3.5 m ? i know the fuel consumption is different for each model. let's assume that i get a free fuel allowance ( Limited but adequate for my needs) if so, based on other factors( performance, comfort , handling , repair & maintenance cost, market...., etc ,etc) , what do you think that i should go for? Should i go for something completely different from above options? Highly appreciate your help! Thank you very much !
  6. latest situ on this.... took the car to a paint job.....and when then try to start the car the engine stalls! it was doing ok for few days...this happened only today. Don....i got throttle body cleaned a month back. plugs are new. maybe should have a check on air flow sensor and ICV
  7. its automatic. AC is ON when this happens.
  8. Hello everybody. i'm driving a kia Rio 2001. I've experienced a rather unusual mechanical problem. i'm just a average vehicle user with limited technical knowledge. perhaps the experts here would be able to help me out with this. OK this is what happens. all of a sudden i find it difficult to accelerate. i need to push the gas pedal really hard to get the RPM up. This happens only when vehicle is run for sometime, probably after 15-20 Kms. When the vehicle slows down due to traffic, it's hard to pickup the back again cos RPM goes down a bit and then accelerates. it's like the engine is slow to recognize the acceleration through the gas pedal. ( Idle RPM slows down, and engine may even stop in a worse cases). This improves when the car is stopped for a while. and again appears when driven for a long distance ( most of the time). Plus from time to time i get Check Engine indication but this issuue may not happen every-time the check engine comes up. so it's kind of a dilemma. ( i tried to do a scan on check engine, but couldn't detect anything) Greatly appreciate your contribution to understand this problem. Thanks!
