Toyota FJC and Nissan X Terra, has been two capable off-road car launched by almost equally capable Japanese car manufacturer at almost same time in 2007-2008. THEN HOW COME FJ Crusier has more demand and value than Nissan X Terra......? FJC: 237 HP VS X Terra: 265 HP, why people still prefer FJC and pay more price for less powered car.....? Why FJC is more expensive than X Terra when brand new?

I have 2004 Range rover with 300000 km. Seven day back while driving I notice clicking or knocking sound coming out from the driver’s side. At an average speed of 60kmph, but as soon as it obtain to 80kmph it ideally go without a disturbance. In between 50 to 60 kmph speed the abs sign changes "On" immediately. Now that signals stick to until the car engine stop. I don’t understand literally what the problem is all about. I believed it could be typical replace of brake pads. Is it? I wish it just a brake pad or disc? Or something else.

Hi, I hardly found a solution else for GCC car problem. Finally this Carnity look good and specific to GCC problem. Which caught my attention, and that the first time I saw a Forum in UAE??? I hope I can get the cure for my 2008 Jeep Wrangler. I would like to inform that I had this Jeep wrangler Sahara with GCC spec when I came to Dubai in 2009. Well I hardly had major problem with this car because I used to travel every time with Metro or in my friend car, only Friday or off day I used to drive this vehicle hardly 200 to 300 km a day. It has very nice condition from outside but seem having trouble inside now in engine. It had a run of approx. 140000 Km as of now. Just to inform that whenever I start a car it goes fine until 40 to 50 km of run and after that it started making a tapping or weird knocking sound that get worse after car happen to have heat up. I hardly understand the problem, I check the oil level it pretty fine. I went to the dealer as the car if out of warranty they want me to pay 5000 AED for such a small fix I guess. Whereas I contact the local garage he is quoting me 3200 for this repair. But both of them are not able to tell what problem is exactly!! Does anybody faced the same issue before and what could be a possible repair that I should consider in this situation? Please if somebody can explain me what problem it might have been going through will be great.

One of my friend drive newer Pajero, I think 2014 or 2015 model and last week while off-roading he was complaining too much about weird noise when he try to do the side-sloping. Wondering if there is any quick fix for this issue Mitsubishi has provided to turn on/off traction control from within the vehicle? Or only disable by removing the fuse, then please tell me which fuse is responsible for this disabling the traction control completely? Thanks in advance.

Hey People, I really enjoy driving this amazing beast or a luxury car on Dubai road. It been one of the most special car to after coming to Dubai. I love this car a lot. I would like to raise one small problem happen last night after visiting Dubai mall. Everything was going great and I went to mall with my family to enjoy some shopping, well the car was park when I reach without any hassle. But when I am back to get my car from parking my family was waiting to the exit door I notice a problem in shifting from ""P"" to ""D"" mode. When I was trying to move the gear lever from parking to drive mode it was making a scratch sound. I did not realize what has happen, I tried at least 6 time to get it to the driving mode but all the trial was failed with scratching sound. I was scared I don’t know what has happen suddenly to the car. I came down from the car and give a final try after 10 minutes, I pushed brake and tried to remove a safety key and put it back and tried again, this time with the god grace it started and easily shifted in to drive mode. I don’t understand how! But again now at this time after reaching to my home safely I found another problem where I was not able to shift the gear into ""R"" the shifter was not catching the gear! Well at 11 pm in the night I did not bother to indulge more time, because it seem my car had a severe issue in shifting gear into ""P"" and ""R"". I hope I am thinking in a right direction?? Is gearbox gone for a toss? Is there any cheaper fix to repair it, as I am sure gearbox in this big beast must be damn expensive. Any cost effective ideas guys....?

Which carbon brass you are referring? Please explain.

Indeed, why do people buy fast cars- especially in Dubai, where the cops have some of the fastest cars on the planet to chase you down with! @taqir- you left out one obvious choice in your poll- what about people who buy fast cars because they appreciate the engineering and technology that go into such a car for their own sake? Moreover, In my opinion, buying a fast car just to come first in illegal street races demonstrates that the buyer of such a car is totally unsuited to the responsibility that comes with owning a fast car.

Another incident happen with me, when I swapped the engine the mechanic left the main engine wiring harness hanging close to the engine manifold and in extreme left cornering or side slope that wire got touched to manifold and burnt and cause battery fuse to blow due to short circuit. Check nothing is passing too close to manifold area or touching it.

As treks mentioned it's quite strange, I assume that some electrical or earthing wire may be loose and while touching the redline car vibrates too much at high speed and throw that battery Icon. Worth checking the all the engine wiring firmly, before taking a deeper dive. I experienced something similar that while side sloping on dune car use to flicker that light and on flat surface its fine because of loose connection somewhere.

Hi Romel, This is strange, but charging system warning lights usually only comes on when the alternator is not generating power. In this case it sounds like the voltage regulator is not working at high RPM, but the warning light usually comes on at low RPM's, when the alternator is not spinning fast enough to generate the full charging current. In most Mazda's, the regulation of charging voltages happens in the ECU. This means you cannot have the alternator tested on its own. You need to take the whole car to a competent workshop for testing. The best thing to do would be to have the car checked for stored fault codes. Messing around with alternators on Mazdas is looking for trouble unless you know exactly what you are looking for, since accidental short circuits during testing can destroy the ECU.

Hi Audi owner, I would like to discuss problem in my Audi A8 and believe to get a useful answer to resolve this issue. I purchased Audi A8 from Dubizzle just 2 month ago. It's 2011 model with over 190000 km approx. Just after 1000 km of run it began creating problem for me. I experienced my car is creating strange noise whenever I go over a bridge or flyover, or bad street. At some point I believe vibrations, excessive bouncing, car does not feel steady whenever I break I feel like I am driving bike with big shock-up in front. Also whenever I drive through a bump, my car tires literally bounce up and down nonstop. It happen usually getting all the way down from flyover majorly and speed breakers. I think Audi has some manufacturing problem or may be something else. I am not sure from where this sound is turning up and what the problem is! This is completely new and annoying to me. This noise disturbance is horrifying or annoying to me. Well I went to Audi supplier in Dubai and say the same problem, as per car auto mechanic information they don't discover any danger in my car!! Or maybe they don't want to acknowledge it as they might not have remedy for it. On the other side while looking online there are series of same problem that owner are facing!! I am not sure how I could fix this matter and where I should take my car because I hardly know any Audi nice garage. I wish somebody might aware of this matter here and help me with some appropriate proactive approach. I also want to understand what problem it could be, from where this noise is coming?

I have seen in many video (never tried) all the drifters steer the car in opposite direction, as while turning right, they drift car and steer left and vice versa. what is teh logic for this and I am really curious to know?
