me also kuli. that's why i can only afford to buy second hand 14years old car. price below 35k. perodua myvi is more expensive than my current car.

 

[JFT63]

Yup, myvi is more expensive..they buy myvi bcos they cant afford BMW and we buy BMW bcos we cant afford Myvi..hows that? hehe

their offer to adjust front camber - will set you back another 250-300.
the camber cannot adjust, they use some kinda pump device - force!
no doubt they do good on-wheel balancing, but this doesn't sound right.
every car i take there been offered the same?!?!
know you r reading this ..

 

[fitri jusop]

yup,to pump back he asking for rm100 per side.so wats other alternative do we the e36's drivers has?

Brake Switch Replacement + Labour = Rm 145

The dude charged me 40 bucks for the workmanship (for a brake switch replacement. seriously? for something that took less than 15 minutes to do :hmmmm2: :stupid: ) I know i did ask him for a lot of stuffs regarding my gearbox. don't tell me he charged me as well for all the advice he's given.

Why didn't you go to your regular mechanic to get it fixed instead to a tyre shop? 40bucks is a bit steep..

It's not really a tyre shop. its a workshop that services cars. But they also sells tires as well (they have 2 shoplots side by side. 1 servicing 1 tyre shop). I was liking the service. Until the last bit i found out about the price.

I definitely need to try and find Albert's of Ah Wai's workshop.

Is anyone else's facing the problem of sensor connectors (those to the washer level sensor/fog light/etc..) falling apart? The plastic has literally turn to dust in the engine bay, any idea where/how to replace these little gems?
