This GP5 came to our workshop and seem to have a issue with idle and sometime while running it suddenly feels a loss of power and stops. Then when you try to crank but it will not start then when you fully turn off the system and then restart it starts fine and moves. The car has done over 100k and haven;t touched. We did a general EFI cleaning and hoped it would clear out. No engine codes were given. After the EFI cleanup the car ran fine for sometime but after about two days same thing started. My guess is may be the ignition coils kind a give up when they heat. (Not sure, just a suggestion) . If you guys have any idea appreciate sharing it with us.
Is there an alternative to the Maruti 800? A friend of mine is looking for an extremely cheap to run and fix car for around 1.5M. While I do advocate old Japanese cars in that budget - if his need is basic A-B motoring at the lowest possible cost - maintenance wise and with fuel - is there any other option that I am forgetting?
Does anyone know how exactly this is supposed to work? They haven’t really started brand new imports again right?
Pricing seems relatively fine in the grand scheme of things, given how 10/15 year old cars are still pretty expensive in our market
A guy advertises a mileage blocker on the quick site saying that his device blocks the vehicle mileage from changing on the odometer. Is it legal to advertise stuff like this?
Bought a 2007 (Reg 2011) Vitz SCP90 (Mileage 180K+) for the family (will be used by my father). Seems to be in good condition but had some new owner repairs/replaces done to have a free mind.
