I'm using a Mazda Familia BJ5P year 2000 model (daily office drive in Colombo). I'm using this car for 3 years and serviced/ maintained properly and serving me as a reliable, rock solid way so far. Next service is due in 200 kms.
Few weeks ago it indicated the hand brake warning (!) on the dashboard. The oil level in the brake oil container was little lowered and after filling it problem solved. No more warning signs.
BUT, today (after few weeks) BOTH hand brake warning (!) and ABS warning (ABS) on the dashboard were indicating during driving (no blinking, both warning lights on during the entire journey).
(1) What can be the possible causes?
(2) Is this a serious thing to pay attention immediately? If so, what actions should I take immediately?
(3) Should I visit a proper place like Ma**a Motors or is it ok to check this with a nearby "under the mango tree" type of garage?
Please give your recommendations. Thanks in advance.
Has anyone done sound deadening padding for their cars? What product did you use? How does it feel?
Thinking about doing some padding for the door cards and wheel wells. Car is quiet but for the sake of it, just want that extra bit of silence
What's up with Kia Sorento drivers? Impatient bunch also honking or swerving around? Same stereotype applies to Wagon R and Spacia drivers always turning on their Headlights in the dark and Alto drivers hogging the right lane. Canter Drivers driving like they can respawn after death is also something I noticed.
