Rejuvenating an quondam car - repairs on a Proton Wira 1.3 M

Different people purchase cars for diverse reasons - for many a auto is an extension of their self ikon - representing their lifestyle. Almost everyone I speak to has a dream auto - ane they aspire to fifty-fifty if they cannot afford it. However, at that topographic point are likewise a lot of people for whom a auto is simply a machine useful to teach from betoken Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 to betoken B. My dad happens to endure ane of them. He has been driving the same Proton Wira 1.3 manual transmission hatchback for to a greater extent than than eight years at nowadays in addition to asked him whether he wanted to update to a novel car. He was non genuinely keen.

He calls luxury cars, houses on wheels because alongside the cost of approximately of the cars, yous tin genuinely purchase a house.

He is genuinely fond of the auto in addition to I am non surprised. The auto has solely done 127,800 Kms in addition to of late had timing belt inwards the engine changes. He proudly mentioned that the auto has non broken downwardly fifty-fifty in ane lawsuit in addition to starts upwards immediately.

However, I was certainly that the aging auto was outpouring to accept approximately problems in addition to this was confirmed when I of late had it serviced at the local Proton Edar service pump nigh my household (SENAXIS Sdn Bhd). One of the tyres needed to endure changed forthwith equally it was nearly bald. They likewise pointed out that several parts demand to endure replaced in addition to fifty-fifty suggested that it endure meliorate to genuinely purchase a novel car. However, my dad was non having whatsoever of it - his reasoning was that the estimated full cost of the repairs was virtually RM1000 but to purchase a novel auto would cost at to the lowest degree RM45000 for the Proton Persona 1.6 M version. This was because he does non desire a minor auto in addition to does non similar the await of the Saga. I guess he does accept certainly preferences.

Anyway nosotros decided to become ahead alongside the repairs in addition to overall a full of 27 parts were replaced (big in addition to small) in addition to the overall impairment came to RM1642.80 including tyre allignment (RM40), labour (RM250) in addition to 6% taxation (RM15).

The major parts included:

1. Insulator assys x2 = RM188.24
2. Rubber bump x ii = RM151.56
3. Link command assy LH in addition to RH = RM127.53 x 2
4. Shock absorbers assy RR, RH in addition to LH = RM102.12 x2
5. Strut FR intermission LH in addition to RH = RM185.07 x ii (the costliest parts).

Other nipper parts included security bumps, pads, tyre nuts, bushing coils, security stabilizers.

I know that official auto service centres are to a greater extent than expensive but I direct to become at that topographic point because I wanted genuine parts.

Do yous mean value nosotros could accept got them cheaper elsewhere?

Anyway, I mean value nosotros accept extended the life of the one-time auto for a few to a greater extent than years.
