Hi Fawzy, may I ask on where do you purchase your parts?

 

[Fawzy]

Hi Climenta - 325i

For all of the parts and servicing, it was at Lim Tayar, Ampang. For the Recond manual gearbox, Affan66 helped me out, someplace in Subang Jaya but will get the name from my son who sent it there . Moderator, I am assuming it is ok to name the service providers?

 

[Fawzy]

Hi Climenta-325i

Lookiing at the history of this thread, it would appear that you got a decent deal on your front brake pads. I paid RM 250 (originals). Regards

Hi Fawzy, my pads were from this brand called Textar bought over the counter. Not exactly the best one around, but I heard of cheaper pads before. What brand was yours?

Bro,

Yr bleeding screw & expansion tank looks quite bad. You should change it to avoid the problem, hassle of breakdown & higher repair cost. She's consider durable for the last 4 yrs. Only that she's little bit hurt when u neglected her hehehe
