seriously... the 8C is for sale. I heard its gg for below 300k. But whats the use.... being LHD.. and and bonnet so long.....you can only use it as a table and wipe it everyday.

Looks like the stretched timing chain (100% of earlier batch will kena) .. they have to dismantle quite a bit to change it. The car will feel sluggish at low gears, have to rev more to get moving.

 

 

 

ermm.... thats the problem... my timing chain was actually changed a year ago when i complaint about the paddle shift... so another new chain for me?

 

i dont mind also lah.. car is 3.5yrs old liao.. will be gd to have it changed now to tahan till end of her COE life.

i thought LHD can be driven here? ever seen before here but not sure of the admin required.

 

 

u need to apply some trade plate from LTA... only for very very special occasions. Not for everyday A to B drive for sure.

I think only US diplomats are allowed LHD cars.

 

seriously I don't understand all the restrictions. In Japan you can drive ANY type on the RHD roads.

my car had this 'Have Engine Checked' error and i sent to EA for checking...

 

verdict is that it is safe to drive.. but problem will come back until i get dont know what 'jabberish' changed... and it will take 4 days. (kaoz...)

 

the advisor told me they reset this and that lah... and light was gone when i got my car back after an hour. I went to meet a friend for kopi.. done, get back to car.. and 'beeeeeeeeeeeeeep' haha.. light back again...

 

i feel sian.. but then again... as long as it gets the problem solved... im ok. ;) so nxt week my belle is gg to be hospitalised again... luckily im gg for cruise..

 

one thing for sure.. she always know when to kick a big fuss.. usually when she needs to take leave for along time, is during the period i didnt really need the car. 3rd time liao.. uncanny.

 

 

oh.. did i also mention one of my rear doors will not unlock ? I have to open it from inside... and once i do that.. that door cant be locked. Dont know how often it remained unlock the whole time i was gone...

 

I'm getting the same 'have engine checked' warning. Sent the car to EA. Same thing, they reset it but the next day, the warning light came on again. Now waiting for me to go on my holiday before sending it again. Didnt notice any difference in performance though.
