    Just a thought: In winter we can try real Liwa or Wahiba crossing - only for Intermediate & handpicked drivers.

    ABSOLUTELY SAME HERE. In my case it was much shorter from Delhi to Leh and still, all planets fail to align in one line.

    Nice tech, thanks for sharing. My concern, how do we deflate them?

    No offense to Kia aspiration of adding high-end model after failing on several previous attempts with Kia Quoris on Genesis platform, I just don't understand this league is the total opposite of their core brand value. Kia is known for value for money lower end models to compete with the Japanese brand entry level models at a much lower price point. Why would anyone buy a higher-end luxury car, SUV or 4x4 with Kia badge on it.....? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kia_K9

    Wow, lucky you. I spotted two high altitude moving objects, must be Airbus without the blinker fluid. I should have got the app too, to position myself than circling all around with twisted neck in the humid evening.

    If this maintenance isn't super urgent, it can wait till Saturday. Sweihan is less tricky terrain as going up on big rolling dunes need engine power and confidence, than shocks or steering which is much needed in small technical dunes.

    Explain on both scenario, I'm really curious to know as few times I watch these auction and didnt find any way to come out with a good deal. I even tried the sellanycar dealer site by keeping a deposit and still didnt find anything lucrative tbh. Just borderline OK. It all started with my own use, then jobless friend jumped in with free time and cash but no knowledge on cars, so I thought of helping him but never got lucky. Later he got the job, then I collected my deposit back.

    Thanks, guys for valuable advises, I have cleaned the bottle and touch that brown sedimentation part and it was confirmed as sand and not rust. Later I recall that this happen in the past too and I just rinse the bottle and top it up with the coolant, without bothering asking this question. Now, my question is how sand is getting inside the coolant system and expansion bottle working as a catch-can to hold the sand at the base and only allowing coolant to recirculate as its suction pipe is a bit shorter than the height of the expansion bottle.

    I'm using Toby's 5D LED light for almost 2 years now and it's working great. Advised same to Sri and he also liked it very much. For best bargain go during weekdays as on weekend all toby's product shoot pricing by 50%. They told me 750 on the weekend when I was just passing by and next time when I genuinely wanted to buy they told me 500 and I bargained for 450 (I think). See if they have 6D now, it must be better even. It's the lens shape and arrangement called 4D, 5D or 6D that spreads the better LED lights.

    All I know about Dodge in UAE is that they have notoriously bad resale value, and I guess that's why you are getting a good deal. Having that said, bad resale value is a sign of car model or manufacturer who time everything with warranty and the car breaks more than often as soon as the warranty period runs out. Secondly, bad resale could be because of expensive parts or difficult to work mechanics. Do bit more research on these pointers or wait for someone more knowledgable here to advise.

    Looks like some new car blood coming to cinema after years of franchise. Looks amazing and sound quite promising with the fight and actions.

    Peugeot carrying their future car with Nissan Truck, couldn't be any better 06:57: There is so much space at the back.... really....? 09:05: Blue velvet seats, really......! 12:28: What a circus they made of future (if it's really a future) 14:02: Future doesn't need seat belts

    Real Belgian ones
  20. Gaurav
    So now you are saying NO to the free BBQ........? I'll rem this, just like your Belgian chocolates.
  21. Gaurav
    Jokes apart, these Lexus front black plastic humongous grills look soooooo cheap and empty that I have no words for it, let alone the fish-face shape is even weirder.
  22. Gaurav
    Share your live location and we will pass by for eating BBQ.

    Sure it's a nice area, not too adventurous. If she has enjoyed previous fewbie level drives she will like this too.

    Yes, it is just an annoyance issue and no performance has been impacted. After a little while, you will develop an ignore mode on this little noise, that comes while braking or slow-moving when car nose moves up and down. It's not noticeable on highway. The entry model is quite capable and doesn't come with diff lock. The offroad version comes with diff lock, but again then there will be a trade-off that you are buying a car that has been previously abused in the sand. If you can find an offroad version that is not been in sand regularly, that will be your best choice by paying little extra (if you have to). If offroad version been on rocks and wadi's then also it's acceptable, as abuse of rocks and wadis can be easily identified by underbody damage by lifting the car. You can't fry the engine, gearbox and 4x4 in rocks much unlike in sand revving at 6K rpm every week.

    Well to me buying a new car itself is a big no to lose half the value in the first 2-3 years. If you are fine to lose that 50% of the car value, then these petty charges or fees wouldn't hurt you much. It's a known fact now that any car dealer in the world make more money servicing it than selling it. That's why service advisors are trained to upsell so hard for their commissions. I have been upsold once with a service advisor that my brake drum thickness is 5MM in place of a new drum of 6MM. I spent 4k dirhams and learned my lesson hard way, that I could have driven for another 2 more years without needing new brake drums. After that instance, I always read the owners manual and go and tell them what exactly I want than their suggestions.
