I'm having a KIA Picanto 2017 model car. (Bought B/N in 2018 Feb) A month ago car starts to run slower than normal even in flat roads. also the car jumps heavily when gear is changing after the start and running. some times car never goes up in hills. But problem solves when the car turns off from key and restarts. Recently I feel that car is not going fast and it is going on 2nd gear. it never moves to 3rd or 4th gear. KIA Service center persons did an Engine tune up by cleaning and replacing spark plugs. But the problem not solved. A person from Gear box service center told me that the issue is not comes from gear box but it may comes from ECU due to an electric short. Also recently KIA service center person scanned the car and told me to Check and clean the Valve body and then if not solved check the Torque converter. Can any one please tell me if you have any idea that exactly the problem comes.
Restoring a 90's Diesel.
Gentlemen, What are your thoughts on doing a soft-resto on an unhacked Nissan SB14 that has been sitting around for 8 years?
1997 car registered in 2000. Manual gears, 2L CD20 diesel. Single owner -Decased. Family who are known to me - dont use it. Unhacked body and almost pristine interior. Clean body lines, no accidents. Complete car and appears untouched by makabasses. Engine shows signs of under-compression, brakes and clutch-plate need replacing, tyres are on the brink of decomposing. Power mirrors do not work. Needs a paint job. No major corrosion but early-stage rust spots on the boot lid.
Nissan might close down operations in 12 -14 months? https://www.carscoops.com/2024/11/nissan-exec-says-we-have-12-or-14-months-to-survive/ Are we going to see more companies shutting down or is this a one off. So much for the new GTR and the new Patrol.
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?
