HI HAMID! HAVE ALL YOUR BELTS CHECKED FOR SQUEALING. OVERHEATING COULD BE SOMETHING SERIOUS, IS YOUR COOLANT LEVEL OK? MAKE SURE THERE IS COOLANT (NOT WATER). FORD FOCUS IS A GREAT CAR, JUST NEEDS SOME ATTENTION ON TIME. PREVENTING PROBLEMS IS IMPORTANT RATHER THAN DEALING WITH THEM. LET US KNOW HOW IT IS GOING...

HEY MAN, NO PROBLEM AT ALL... GLAD YOU LIKED IT!

AND FINALLY...)

LET'S MOVE ON...)

HI GUYS, RECENTLY I REPLACED MY CABIN (SOME SAY AC) FILTER AND WANNA SHARE WITH YOU THE EXPERIENCE. CHECK IT OUT POST TO POST, PIX BOTTOM TO TOP )

GOOD ONE JEH! LET ME JOIN SHARING "I DIDN'T KNOW MY CAR CAN DO THAT" DISCOVERIES! I DISCOVERED THAT WHEN I PRESSED CONTINUOUSLY "UNLOCK" BUTTON ON THE CAR REMOTE, IT OPENS ALL THE WINDOWS, AND "LOCK" CLOSES ALL OF THEM. KIND OF USEFUL IF YOU WANNA AIR THE CAR BEFORE GETTING IN )

The Dubai Roads and Transport authority will remove the daily AED 24 cap on Salik road tolls in July, it was announced on Sunday. Previously, commuters who crossed the Salik gates more than six times in a day were only required to pay a maximum of AED 24. But, starting July 15, commuters will no longer benefit from the limit. An RTA statement said the decision will only affect a small portion of commuters, as 95% of private vehicles do not cross the gates more than six times a day. RTA said the move will encourage motorists to use alternative routes such as Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (former Emirates Road). Two new Salik gates were inaugurated on April 15, bringing the total number of gates to six (Mamzar, Aiport Tunnel, Garhoud bridge, Maktoum bridge, Safa and Barsha). http://en-maktoob.news.yahoo.com/blogs/the-971-report/dubai-s-rta-to-remove-salik-daily-cap-102510954.html

Spark plugs are little devices inside the cylinder that take in high voltage electricity at one end and create a spark at the other end. There, the spark ignites the gas and air mixture, and the resulting combustion is what ultimately powers the car. This service involves removing the old spark plugs and replacing them with new ones. Should I do this service when it's recommended? Yes. Why do I have to do this? At the sparking end of the spark plug is a built-in gap between two or more little pieces of metal, called electrodes. When the plug fires, one or more sparks jump that gap and a tiny bit of the metal is burned off. This happens hundreds of times every minute. Over time, the gap between the metal tips gets too big. Also, your spark plugs can get fouled, but that would indicate that you have a problem. What happens if I don't do this? Your engine will start to misfire and run poorly, performance will suffer, efficiency will decrease and emissions will dramatically increase. Your car may also be difficult to start.

THANKS MAN! HELPFUL STUFF!

I WAS TOLD THAT ON MY FOCUS 2006 I HAVE A TIMING CHAIN INSTEAD OF TIMING BELT AND IT DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY CHANGING. ANYBODY KNOWS IF THAT IS TRUE?

ANY TIME YOU'RE WELCOME! DID YOU GET YOUR CAR SERVICED?

HERE IS ONE GARAGE IN RAS AL KHOR, THEY REPAIRED MY CAR THROUGH INSURANCE, THINK THEY ARE QUITE GOOD, PRICES SEEMED TO ME QUITE REASONABLE, BUT TRY YOURSELF AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK: AL ZAROUNI AUTOMOBILES 04 3333 689 0505491305 OR 0502468050

SERIOSLY, FEW DAYS AGO A CAR BUMPED INTO ME AT THE INTERSECTION, I WAS TURNING LEFT HE DROVE STRAIGHT FROM THE LEFT LANE, AND IT WAS ONLY EITHER LEFT OR U-TURN FOR HIM. I GOT A "GREEN PAPER", INSURANCE HERE I COME!!!

THANKS MAN! THE THING WITH THE SPEED YOU CAN ADD UP TO 19 OR 20 KM/H TO THE ALLOWED ONE SO YOU GOTTA STICK TO 99 NEXT TIME, BE ON THE SAFE SIDE !

HI EVERYBODY! THOUGHT IT WOULD BE INFORMATIVE AND GOOD MOTIVATION NOT TO BREAK THE TRAFFIC RULES IF WE SHARE MISTAKES THAT WE'VE DONE OUT ON THE ROADS AND THE FINES WE GOT FOR THEM. I'LL START )) TAKEOVER IN THE WRONG PLACE - AED 600\ ZERO BLACK POINTS (I DON'T KNOW HOW EXACTLY IT HAPPENED, JUST GOT THE SMS AND THE BILL FROM POLICE) JUMPED THE RED SIGNAL - AED 800\80 BLACK POINTS\ 15 DAYS OF IMPOUNDING OR YOU CAN PAY 100 PER DAY(THAT'S PRETTY PAINFUL ONE. DIDN'T SEE THE TRAFFIC LIGHT JUST FOLLOWED THE BIG CAR IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH WAS ALREADY CROSSING ON RED ((( ) .

FINALLY FOUND THE BEARING, THE WHOLE HUB TO BE EXACT, APPARENTLY IT COST MORE BUT HERE IS THE THING WITH BEARING: IT TURNED OUT TO BE NOT AN EASY THING TO GET OLD BEARING FROM WITHIN THE HUB, ACTUALLY YOU NEED TO FIND SOME GARAGE WHERE THEY HAVE A SPECIAL MECHANICAL PRESS FOR THAT, THEN IT'S NOT A GUARANTEE THAT THE BEARING WILL JUMP OUT, IN SOME CASES THEY GET STUCK!! THE CHARGES FOR REMOVING WILL EQUALIZE THE COSTS. THEN I COULD NOT FIND ANYONE WHO SELL THE PROPER BEARINGS BY ITSELF THE MORAL OF THE STORY: JUST GO GET THE NEW HUB!

GUYS READ THIS ARTICLE, HOPE THIS WILL GIVE SOME LIGHT http://www.ehow.com/how_7500731_stop-steering-pump-whining-noise.html

ONE THING I KNOW, DO NOT POUR IN WATER IN THAT TANK, ONLY COOLANT!

I'M EXCITED TO BUY A BRAND NEW CAR, BUT ONLY COULD AFFORD USED ONE. BUT IT TEACHES ME A LOT I GUESS, I MEAN ALL THOSE THINGS WHICH I OVERLOOKED WHEN BUYING COMING OUT NOW CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY BUDGET BUT IT'S GETTING SORT OF KNOWLEDGEABLE

DISAGREE WITH YOUR ADVICE DUDE, YOU CAN BETTER SAY NEVER GO TO BUY A SECOND HAND CAR WITHOUT SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS WHERE AND HOW TO CHECK THE CAR CONDITION IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOURSELF!
