Yesterday when I switched on my car ignition, no lights were ON on the dashboard and I couldn't start the car. I twisted the battery positive terminal connection (suspecting this was due to the battery problem). Then the dashboard lights were ON and the car did start. But, the engine RPM was a bit higher than normal (I don't have an RPM meter to specify the value). At the operating temperature, RPM was lesser than the cold one but, it was higher than the normal RPM at operating temperature. Can anyone tell what could be the problem?
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.

Hi Guys,
Yesterday when I switched on my car ignition, no lights were ON on the dashboard and I couldn't start the car. I twisted the battery positive terminal connection (suspecting this was due to the battery problem). Then the dashboard lights were ON and the car did start. But, the engine RPM was a bit higher than normal (I don't have an RPM meter to specify the value). At the operating temperature, RPM was lesser than the cold one but, it was higher than the normal RPM at operating temperature. Can anyone tell what could be the problem?
FYI: Mine is a toyota corolla AE100 (YOM 95).
