  1. there are cars now that are "in-between". people call the crossovers but i call them hybrids. both the DNA of a car and a large SUV, they are often based on a car chassis but are using steroids. they are generally more economical, less bulky, better handling than the larger SUVs. at the same time, they are generally more spacious, offer a higher seating position, and higher ground clearance for some bad roads. some have AWD/4x4 for some light off roads. my advise is to go for a model that had been launched recently as they usually have more techs included and have higher safety standards. newer models are like the Nissan x-trail, Lexus NX, Merc GLA. or go for a year old car with low mileage, ideally with warranty and service contract still valid. you can enjoy it with about 20% less compared to the brand new price... and no I'm not a car dealer. and dun be lazy, go for a test drive so you can see what car you really like. Japanese cars are generally (generally still means u can run out of luck) are more dependable, Germans have very nice classy interiors and American cars offer a lot for the money (car size and engine size). personally i don't even consider korean cars. that is just my PERSONAL choice because to me, my impression is they look good on paper, nice design and cheap (cutting corners somewhere). they do get better by the years. personally i drive a 2015 Subaru WRX and a 2006 honda MRV that still runs like a dream with it s smooth 5 speed auto gearbox (old but still good). The MRV is a real gem without any problems although almost 10 years old. Of cos there is wear and tear (nothing before it's time) but i change everything outside of dealership with original parts as per the manual. i know nobody asked but i would like to share my experience with you. Subarus are bulletproof cars as i had owned 3 models in the past oldest from 2007. never had any problems, rock solid. all the best! shopping for a new/used car is the most exciting thing. i am envious. oh ya, you may watch review videos on youtube too, not all of them are good reviews but it gives you an idea.
  2. i saw their price but its was quite ex. it ll b cheaper to ship the parts from US but then again, if there s any problem, it ll b a hassle....
  3. Hi Hukum, i spoke to them before already and they do not do it as it is not a Ford authorised product. Btw, I found out another shop that has ready stock for this item and they do fix it as well. Thanks for your reply.
  4. Hi Guys, Im Kevin, jus booked a ford expedition XL EL and this is my first time buying an SUV. hope to learn a few stuff from you guys. Btw, I plan to do some minor modification on the expedition like changing of head and tail lights: http://www.amazon.com/311110-Expedition ... light+2012. pls advise on shops that are reliable and reasonable. preferbly ard Abu Dhabi. Thanks Guys!!!
  5. sent to the workshop and they should be able to advise whether you need to change. the brakepads are designed to wear out rather than the disc. but the disc will also eventually wear out. if the brakes feel soft, there mayb some air pockets in the hydraulic line (brake oil). jus ask the mechanic to bleed out the air and if required, top up your brake oil.
