[QUOTE="anxious, post: 210534, member: 193"] Aiyah Elwine..now u tell me...I went to Taiping today (journey totaled 230km), travelled within the speed limit most of the time but when coming back I hit 140 for a while just to test the car. To do 100kmh for 5000km is very susah man....did u mean 500km? Anyways the car was quite smooth...no more vibration. I noticed:- i) when i got back to pg when stationary car for a while a heard a "clok" sound every 10 seconds or so even with ac off....this is only when stationary..must be something rubbing? ii) on the highway sometimes i can hear this kind of zinging sound for the exhaust...i used to get this sound from my old tredia many yrs back. iii) sometimes when I slow down at traffic lights the engine seems to get a bit louder...there seems to be a very slight kind of surge before stopping. Apart from that car seems to be fine. But this whole thing has really exhausted me. How I wish I could turn the clock back...for the same money(RM55k) I could hv got a 1996 328 with full AB service history.That would hv saved me all this headache , distraction , worry , waste of time etc. My friends tell me I expected too much from a second hand car...what more a 12 yr old car for RM40k. Now although I hv incurred excess of RM15k on the car (incd painting) and somehow still a bit concerned wheher the car is really ok....of course again it is a question of expectation. What to do life goes on....what an experience. [/QUOTE]
