Since this uses voltage, wouldn't it drain the car battery if the car is left standing for a while? Specially here whwre the tint will have to be activated even when parked because of the sun. Just saying.

Wasnt there a recent law introduced, that allowed people to service cars outside and not have their warranty voided?

First world problems! I mean come on, seriously?

Bose developed a better system 10 yrs ago,always, wondered why it never made it to the market. Not only does it work for potholes but also bumps and cornering. Although now cars do have active cornering suspension https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eSi6J-QK1lw

so you can imagine the other one is also in similar shape

Correct Ziebart next to the old Galdari Showroon next to the airport, they have been there for ages now. I remember my dad got his Caprice Classic rustproofed from there way back in 1986!

The general consensus is to to change them in pairs. They are made of rubber and like tyres will wear over time. If one side is gone you can be pretty sure the other is also about to go as they both age equally. I would change the other side rear one also as a preventive measure

A bumpy ride indicates the bags are totally deflated and car ia riding on bumpstops. Could be a leak in bags which can cause the compressor to keep trying to keep up by constantly try to pump air in, causing it to burn out. But I still think under 3000dhs to fix a air suspension at the dealers is not bad. If the front end is also on air then doubt its the compressor though. You could do a DIY troubleshoot, could be something as simple as a airline just got loose at the connector and ia now leaking air

Damn didnt even know Prados were riding on air suspension. Atleast not the GCC veraion Ive seen here. $800 dont seem too much for a dealer job. Dunno about Saudi, but here you can have just the airbag replaced for around 500dhs.

Leave it as it. You were struggling because you were carrying a lot more weight. Decreasing pressure is not a good idea. You'll be a lot more prone to a pop out. Infact back in the day when I would load a 1 ton generator in the back of the bushanab I would deflate to only 20psi but with the weight of the generator the footprint at 20 was that of a 15 deflated tyre. When when on safari with full load of 6pax plus drivee never took it below 15. Another reason is. Its summer time now and the sand is a lot more softer too.

I duuno Ive never had this issue with blind spots. A couple of years back coming back in traffic just to kill time I started to see how big or if I had a blind spot. I could pretty much see cars on either side. I can say I pretty much say I have 360degree vision. Ive always setup the mirrors from the driving position. The middle one is setup to cover the entire rear window. The sides are set up that I can just see my barely see my car on the edges of my inner side. Although this problem became evident when I moved to a L322 Range Rover which has flat driver side mirror rather than concave one. But fortunately they also sell a concave side mirror as well. I believe flat aide mirrors are standard in the US and thus a bigger blind spot issue and the sticking your head to the window method is to address that..

Adding to that most high end cars nowadays have blind spot detection. And if there is something in your blindspot a light lights up in your rearview mirror to warn you https://youtube.com/watch?v=bpY8q2kVHpg

Some cars are even worse, specially US imports. They have a flat mirror instead of a concave one on the driver side, making the blind spot even worse. I remember volvo was the opposite the the last 1/5th out edge had a bigger curve to cover the blind spot.

Unfortunately Ive seen this too many times. O sold my immaculate with only 45k on the clock Range Rover to a friends friend. The guy burst the hose pipe near his home in The Greens drove it to festival city and back in traffic and was then complaining how his engine got knackered. Fortunately even after all that abuse it just blew a head gasket and is still on the roads till today. Another friend hasn't bought a car yet on which he has had to replace the engine on due to the same reason. Hopefully his latest ride doesn't suffer the same fate. But not holding my breath!

Who told you it cant? Www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nzyvCjlE2A And yes many do buy these as a status symbol but many like me for example dont. I drive a Range Rover simply because I like the comfort and smoothness and the way it looks inside ans out.. Status symbol has nothing to do with it. And give it a little time if not already because I havent checked, the sharjah parts people will source cheaper parts for the new L405 too. Scrapyards already stock them.

Well thats just the thing, many prefer the feeling of a luxurious hotel room and saying todays cars have a lot less safety features or less safe than a 1998 Caprice is not factual.

In a nutshell lets just say its the difference between a donkey and a thoroughbred horse. Al hamdulilah Ive owned and/or driven most luxury rides on a long tern basis save for a Rolls Royce or Bentley ( on my bucketlist ) You can stuff as much leather and gizmos in a camry or Corolla at the end the of day, its still a corolla or camry. There is no comparision. BMWs, Audis and Porsches are basically more for European sensibilities, where "handling" is preferred over comfort. In my Biased opinion nothing beats a Range Rover when it comes to luxury and in this country with an ample supply of cheap parts as well as scrappies. Running costs are less than a jap eco box. Just yesterday bought a water pump and drive belts for a L322 Range Rover 180 for the water pump and 100 for both drive belts.

First step is to stop going to Al Futtaim as they clearly dont know what they are doing. Uneven wear is not the tyres fault. if you alignment is 100% correct then the problem lies in your suspension and/or steering linkages. Worn out bushes or sloppy ball joints. Mostly seen on modified Sheeps the entire front end has so much negative camber looks like the car is trying to do a split from the front.

New industrial city in Sajja Sharjah, you'll find all the scrappies there

I can understand the FJ people, that car has horrible visibility all around. It's like siting in a deep box with tiny holes to your sides and front. No rear visibility to speak off. They do the best they can being almost blind. As for the rest if I drove a car worth over half a million Id park like that too avoid shopping trolley rash and mall crawler dents.

A friend and I saw one the other day in Shj industrial area, and we were laughing our asses off as to look at that fool whose put Maserati badges on a Hyundai. Only to find out a few days later it was an actual Maserati after reading about it! We really thought It was a Hyundai with Maserati badges and we got a good look at it too as we were just behind it stopped at the lights for a few minutes in traffic and wasn't just a passing look.

Ah, my old safari route, just remember to stay out of those small white dunes to your left next to the flat wadi,

Guess I'm doomed then! With the numbers and makes given above by Ethan Both my cars are British, one is 19yrs old and the other is 14yrs old. Both over 220,000kms. O_O

Yes, drummer and producer, unfortunately sold my kit ages ago, now I'm all in the box.
