Very very old used car for at least first year till he/she understand that every accident or ding is caused by him/her is because of there own actions than just pure bad luck. I mean get their stage of denial cross few times, let them bake in sun (road side) for few times to make them seasoned driver who understand how road traffic actually works than the rule book theory. Once they learn to discount AH and hold there temperament even when they are right for 5 seconds than wasting 5 days and getting baked, they will be ready for any car. Why old, as it will cheaper to have few more dings on beaten up sunny, yaris, corolla without losing an arm/leg. Also slower the car lesser the impact speed - so they don't hit someone at 140 or 160. I had 4 accidents in first year and then 2 in next 5 years and after that no accident since 12+ year now. Same for my wife, cousins and few friends. It's a known phenomena for all new drivers.

That's gross, first Rahimdad and now you seems like a pattern developing to make quick bucks.

Go for Lazer wheel alignment where they can accurately spot and adjust the toe-in and camber, looks like either of them they are out. Then rotate the tires and use the rear ones in front. Find a shop near you who has Hunter Wheel alignment as they are very accurate machine and they are very common in Dubai in good alignment shops.

This Lego Defender might sell more than actual defender.

This wont work, as it need both parties ID, Drivers license and car registration card photos.

Totally agree, but sadly 90% offroad suspension are non-adjustable unless you dash good amount of money. And in those 10% expensive adjustable ones plenty are just gimmick and only few makes a difference. Aragosta I had, they have had had 18 settings on each shock, but at softest setting on road too my back use to cry. In my Pajero I have stock suspension stiffness controller with electronic button and it does make a big difference.

I don't know @shadow79 who is teaching you these basics or you are coming up with these crazy stories....! @DiamondDallas harder the shocks better they are for off-road but very uncomfortable for road use. So offroad shocks is a combination of little more harder than OEM one but not too rally style so that it will kill your back on tarmac. I had Aragosta rally bred suspension in my Patrol, I could literally jump dunes and do all sort of stunts but on tarmac for over 1 hour drive, my back use to start aching. Best shocks for off-road will be hard and with long travel suspension so that bumps and rebounds are not going to take big tolll on chasis and your back.

Yes in most hit and run cases, they need to check the authenticity by verifying that you have not damage anyone else car or public property in that area. And this background check takes few days, they also cross check with other police report of hit and run cases to verify its a legit story, and you are the victim and not the perpetrator.

In your hit and run case you need to go to the nearest police station where this incident happen with your car and share the full story with as much as proof you or your wife has. If they get convinced then you will get red paper for 400 dhs fine and then rent a car procedure starts with whatever agreement you have with them. If they dont get convince they will ask you to come back after few days until they can check the authenticity of your story with some camera in the vicinity etc.

Surprise to see very limited response from our regular offroaders: Pull angle was more than 45 degree of tolerance. Ideally it should be always straight or anything close to the straight with max deviation up to 45 degrees, that too with lot of caution, patience, observation and feedback from different angles. They could have used driver side tow hook of FJC and Pajero to counter the angles to some extent. They could have use the viking rope for elastic soft tug than one big jerk. No radio communication or coordination with guy supervising the tug or filming. No use of 3 beep system, FJC could have used long beep to stop the Pajero (if trained). Both car windows should be rolled down for catching at least those last second scream. FJC tires were not pointing in the direction of tug, causing instant resistance to flip. Over enthusiast Pajero driver, who probably have not enough experience in technical recoveries kept on pulling. Clear the sand wall from driver side tire front side. Clearly it was bogged down to topple like this instantly. People don't use enough shovel as they think pulling will sort everything out. Prep before the pull to clear sand from all resistance is very important and in such critical angles its life saving. Ideally winch is better (if available) in such tricky situation to get slow motion feedback and stop in time. Give such critical tug in several tranches to access the situation first with a feedback from anyone supervising. Once car is moving with slightly gentle tugs without lifting any side, then proceed with little stronger tugs. Recover from backside with half or quarter the rope if front is totally hit in sand.

I will, but I need our aspiring fewbies and Intermediate offroaders should think and try first. You have done a good start with a wrong angle.

Find at least 5-10 things that went wrong here. There plenty here in this flip.

We should actually blame the YouTube for giving the free content in first place, because once users are accustomed to free usage, they will not understand the paid language. Just two weeks back, I was discussing with my wife over Netflix subscription and just to kill the topic I said what you will do if YouTube comes tomorrow with subscription too.....? Never knew my hypothesis can become true so fast.

Thank you all for the warm wishes, but actual congratulations goes to each and every Carnity family member here for believing in Carnity's vision and help to spread the word around. Carnity is a Car Community and not a product built by one or few. A community always require group acceptance to succeed and flourish by helping each other and holding hands together. Looking forward to inviting more like-minded car enthusiasts to continue building the largest car knowledge base in the Middle East.

Have you bleed the cooling system previously?

Welcome to the future of curated and premium content. I thought google must be making billions with ad money, now it will be squabillion then.

If previously bleeding is not done by removing thermostat then saleem might be right, as engine jacket hold lot of coolant and the new and old coolant must have got mixed. If you have bleed it before, then double check if its brownish or whitish? Has any sticky feel? Pungent smell?

Thanks @Mujtaba for quick rent a car rates with super discounts. 2018 Honda jazz - 95 AED 2018 Nissan micra - 75 AED 2019 Yaris - 85 AED 2015 Optima - 100 AED 2016 Rio - 70 AED

If coolant has turned greenish brownish inside the expansion bottle, then its fine. Clean the coolant bottle and refill. I am facing same in my ancient Pajero. If coolant inside the radiator turned brownish, then it's a concern. Please confirm.

Rent a car is needed for a week, so any car which is cheapest is the best option.

Need quick help to get a cheap or cheapest rent a car for a week for my friend. Any heads up guys......?

Wow must be good DIY project for free time or after I retire, i'll join you Fred in your bucketlist - free help.

Hi @DEVEL32 welcome aboard. I fully agree with Frederic comment on how used car business has saturated in today's UAE used car market. However, if you have a different and creative plan then surely you can make good money. By saying creative I mean to be unique and not focus on mass commuter cars for various reason: Market fully saturated Difficult to acquire at good price and then even more difficult to sell at profit as those cars have almost fix value with a play of 1-2K max depending on kms and overall condition. The best way to pursue this side business of buying and selling cars is to focus on rare/niche but in demand cars that have niche audience. Many times such car owner when they are leaving country they cannot find a right buyer "immediately" so they end up selling at half the value at sellanycar, buymycar kind of website. So those people are your prime audience to acquire, if you can somehow reach those sellers and up the deal with couple of thousand more you will make good business by selling those cars. Example: Guy want to sell Mustang at 80K (fair value) and got a quote of 60k cash from those bargain hunters then you can click the deal at 65 and flip the car at 75 in a months time. This will leave you with less pressurized and run around job as niche car buyers are less fussy and cranky tbh. Here's the best I can answer your questions: Best selling used cars Mid-Premium segment: Golf, Touareg, Mercedes ML, Posrche Cayenne, Mustang, Camaro, Lexus ES, Audi A5, BMW 5 Series, Ford Explorer, Dodge Durango, etc., I think you will get it by these many example, if you are a car guy. Best selling car brands Any, where you can get good value to jump in. Stay away from most common cars. Fastest way to sell a car privately Office bulletins, supermarket notice board (fantastic area), friends and family. Best way to buy used cars Target sellmycar, buymycar audience through facebook or google ads - run creative campaign I even heard a person following those guys and offering them better deal - don't know if its acceptable. Best way to sell a damaged car Too messy unless you are very technically sound, I say avoid. Best online sites to sell used cars None, tbh as all big giant classifieds is filled with bargain hunter dealers (99%) and real buyer (1%). I get more leads for selling my car through my personal groups than featured paid classifieds. Best place to sell your car for cash To real user and not dealers. I have given this advice to two different people in 2018 and now they both are doing this full time side business. Initially they started with one car within 50K budget, now they are rolling 3-4 cars every month. And me being a car guy who love to try new cars every 1-2 years, I do take my time to look for such bargain so that I can save half or quarter the depreciation when i sell it. So this idea really works in any car market and in any used car uptrend or downtrend.

Wow, beautiful concept for 2 with pretty decent ground clearance.
