  1. Waterless Car Washing Imagine that a hose uses 40-50 litres of water per minute. Within ten minutes, you have used 400-500 litres. With water being such a precious commodity in the desert you may ask yourself how to wash your car. It is possible to simply rub the dirt off with a cloth but in doing so, you will scratch the paint. To wash your car without water, you will need four or five high quality microfiber cloths depending on the size of your car and a spray bottle of waterless cleaner. One bottle of cleaner should be enough to wash your car approximately 4 times, again depending on the size of the car. There are many different waterless cleaners available on the market such as Meguiars Ultimate Wash, Ecotouch WCW, Griots Spray On etc. I’ll leave it up to you to read the reviews of different products online and decide which one is right for you. Clean the car one panel at a time, starting from the roof and work your way down. There’s no point starting at the bottom and working your way up as the cleaner will run down onto the bit you have already cleaned and you will be constantly chasing your tail. Simply spray the waterless cleaner onto the panel you are cleaning, then use a clean towel and wipe the dirt off. Don't use so much pressure on the cloth that you rub the dirt deep into the paint and create scratches. When the piece of towel you are using becomes dirty, fold it and use a clean part until it is completely dirty, then use a new towel. When you have cleaned the panel, wipe it entirely with a clean towel to remove any leftover moisture or dirt. Once you have finished cleaning the entire car, it helps to apply a good coat of wax. Not only will this keep a good shine to your paint but it will also help you to remove dirt next time you wash. **DISCLAIMER** I accept no responsibility for any harm or damage caused by anyone cleaning their car. This is only a simple guide on waterless cleaning. Always use high quality products and follow the manufacturers recommended instructions.

  4. Hi Technician, good to see someone talking on power to weight ratio as most of them talk on engine size or horsepower only. Jeff: Yes you should be good with that power to weight for on-road climb on the mountains, but not loose gravel track or unpaved mountain climbs.

  5. 2017 Ford Bronco A real Jeep eater DNA from Ford is on its way: Ford Bronco, many of you might have heard or seen one in states as it was most successful go anywhere SUV since 1966 till 1996 for good 30 years in production. No matter if you have been a hardcore fan of Jeep, Chevrolet or Dodge, you must respect the quality and luxury that Ford offers in its vehicles. With an all-new 2017 model of Ford Bronco, the company has kept its promises in the finest way possible. If you are a fan of hardcore fun, choosing Ford Bronco is going to be a wise decision. It is highly likely that you have heard of rumors about bent frames because of the introduction of an all-new aluminum body, however, if you take a bit of time and consider the fact, you’d realize what the aluminum body had to go through before it ended up with bent frames and regardless of the truck that you owned, the damage was inevitable in those circumstances. And yes it's partially a rumor based on some super extreme torture to prove it's point, like Apple iPhone will bent if you sit of it while keeping it in your back pocket. With the new model of Ford Bronco, the company has decided to make its vehicle much lighter than ever before that enables the user to relish the benefits of enhanced physical characteristics. Improved braking, acceleration, and power to weight ratio is only the beginning of what an all-new Ford Bronco has to offer. Considering how the vehicle is primarily meant for off-road fun, the following equation must be kept in mind: Dale and Ebert theory = 2017 Ford Bronco + (2) 24-pack Miller High Life + 662hp + 6ft wide ditch + 2ft Jump As far as the off road fun is concerned, the above mentioned equation is experienced several times. As per the Dale’s drunken theory of physics, the Ford Bronco may as well end up with sheared off wheels if the above mentioned equation was not taken into consideration. This is why Ford has launched the most solid and powerful vehicle as Bronco 2016. 2015 FORD BRONCO CONCEPT DESIGN FROM BRONCO FANS 2016 FORD BRONCO SVT RAPTOR The benefit of lighter weight and enhanced power is going to be evident in the Ford Bronco 2017. With the supercharge 5.0L V8 showing 662hp means that there will be some very fast Broncos running around that have insanely good gas mileage numbers as well. A perfect combination of power, speed, and mileage. Following are the prominent specifications of Ford Bronco 2017: Engine type DOHC 32V V8, direct fuel injection Displacement 3.5L, 5.0 L and 5.8L Power/ Torque V-6, 3.5-liter EcoBoost - 365 horsepower V-8, 5 liter - 420 horsepower (Coyote Engine) V-8, 5.8 liter Supercharged - 662 horsepower Transmission 6 speed automatic 0-60 5.8 sec Top Speed 180 kmph Price Range Around $35000 to $45000 Launch of Ford Bronco 2017 is going to be an amusing news for people who are the lovers of true 4*4 SUVs. However, the bad news for the people in the UAE is that the vehicle is not going to be available here. Considering how there are only bits and pieces left in the market of true SUVs for the people of UAE, the unavailability of Bronco may as well come as a shock. If you are looking for a non-uni-bodied pansy wagon, the only option other than Wrangler and 4runner is a Bronco that is unfortunately not going to be available here in the UAE. If you are like me and wish to get Ford Bronco in the UAE, then hit the poll above with your vote and someday Al Tayer or Ford will consider this as an interest from the UAE market and get this bad-ass Ford Bronco for us as well here in Dubai.

  6. More than the car, I like the background where they have taken the pictures. This makes me like the car psychologically. Also I like the uptight rear that gives more sporty looks, front exterior could have been better.

  7. 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....?

  9. Car park A cards (old ones / current plan as of 24 May 2016) can use the new upcoming car parking A, B, C and D. Car park B cards (old ones / current plan as of 24 May 2016) can use the new upcoming car parking B and D zones only. New Car Parking zones will be implemented in Dubai from 28 May 2016 onward. I got this info from RTA website and then double checked with RTA toll free number: 800 90 90 as I myself wanted to be sure on this car park zones and their new codings.

  12. The 2017 Infiniti QX30 provides Mercedes-Benz origins, and shows a new globally style impact and item path for business. I individually find it fantastic with it amazingly competitive style, with its German carefully powertrain and its likely performance ranking. But on the other side I feel it opposite about the limited interiors area, might be taller car driver like me experience it's difficult to drive. I hardly found out much more information about it complete specifications or technical briefs on internet. Does anybody has idea when it going to place on sale in Uae: 2016 or 2017?

  13. Hi Adrik, Unfortunately, Escalades are known for their bad transmissions. The problems with hard or difficult shifting is a known issue, and the problem is almost always related to the valve body. If you are not familiar with automatic transmissions, the valve body is an arrangement of valves, check valves, and other components that control the flow of fluid through the transmission to shift gears by rearranging the relationships between the various planetary gears that give a transmision "ratios" like a manual transmission. Automatic transmissions also have a clutch pack that holds the planetary gears in position while the transmission is in any given gear. These clutch packs are engaged and disengaged by hydraulic pressure from the pump in the transmission, but the actual circuits that control the movement of the clutch packs are controlled and regulated by small valves in the valve body. With Escalades (and other GM transmisions), some of these valve sometimes stick halfway open or closed, which means that the clutch packs often do not fully release to allow the planetary gears to change position relative to each other, and it is this what you are hearing when you say you hear a scratching or grating sound. In effect, the transmission is still in gear (or neutral), but because the clutches are still partially engaged, it is often impossibe to move the selector lever without breaking something in the transmission. The problem is that this kind of problem can appear suddenly. The transmision may be fine for years, but the next time you want to engage a gear manually, it does not work, just like you are describing. However, fixing the issue is not always as easy as replacing the fluid, since the valve that is sticking sometimes has to be freed by hand. This is not always the case though, and a fluid replacement might fix the issue, but don't bank on it. If a fluid replacement does not fix the problem, you may have to replace the transmission because repairs are almost just as expensive as a replacement. Moreover, if the technician repairing your transmission is not an expert, chances are excellent that you will end up experiencing other issues when you get your car back. The transmission could be noisy, not shift correctly, or not shift at all, so you may want to consider replacing it instead of repairing it.
