@oppyouknowme Please stop spamming the forum with new thread for every single question about car repair and maintenance. What's next, 1 thread for headlight, 1 for wiper, 1 for tyre?

Cause in some cases you add a couple more zeros behind the plate of chicken rice for car repairs. 😅

just looks most people don’t give a hoot about buying from daiso to try. If at 2k or 5k you also don’t give a hoot. Then the unscrupulous workshops would have a field day milking you dry.

The steering pump seems slightly higher but i dont know what car is yours, unable to comment. overall  i would think it is not excessive. You may be able to find a cheaper workshop but service quality is more important. If the guy can do a good job and is trustworthy, then just use him.

16 YO car, bound to have lots of wear and tear issues, replacements and lack of parts. People I know that maintain/drives/owns old cars have their regular workshops whom they trust.

Is it a worn battery terminal connector issue? Can you wiggle the connectors to see whether they are lose? No video/picture for us to see, words only dont give the bigger picture. If it is lose the alternator wont be able to charge the battery when the engine is running. That could be why every 6months the battery becomes too weak to crank.

If these parts are from its original factory and havent been change. Should be replaced, your car isnt relatively new. You have to show ppl what battery before saying expensive.

Oil leaking somewhere lo. For me I cannot tahan the car with so many issues. I get it fix asap before it becomes a bigger problem. Not procrastinate and wait for all the issues to come together. Of course expensive to fix lah.
