  1. That's a nice Vette, please be specific as to what you want to check? Is that pre buying check if you are about to buy? Or is it pre renewal checks for RTA passing? Or preparing her for race track, lolololol....?
  2. More creepy info from Dr. Google-- __________ The dual-stage driver front air bag may be susceptible to moisture intrusion which, over time, could cause the inflator to rupture. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death. Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front driver side air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 13, 2015. ___________ Never knew that Dubai, UAE is 2 light years away from US........!
  3. I got a call from Al tayer motors 3 days back explaining and calling for the recall 15S21 on my model of Mustang for airbag inflator. Went today and dropped the car in morning and got it back by afternoon (5-6 hours job). Amazing service from Ford and Al Tayer and I just want to appreciate that. However their call center took more than 20 minutes wait to connect to the service adviser was horrible. Just google that recall right now, and it says Takata airbag inflator might rupture when involve in an accident, means until now I was driving without the airbag and that too for last 2 years as this was July 2015 recall.

  4. There was a proposal (I think from ESMA) for standardizing all workshop in class category from A-E, based on size of workshop, employees, tools and equipment, technical expertise, years of experience etc. There was a proposal also, that based on this classification they have to charge the customer accordingly. I totally agree with @aatish on below comment:
  5. To my knowledge GPS shows an indicative speed and not accurate, as it depends and varies due to lot of minor but important factors involved. What barry is saying is correct too, but still you should rely on vehicle odometer than on GPS.
  6. Mine has Ford leather keychain for my Mustang and Mitsubishi logo in steel for my Pajero.
  7. Every GCC spec car should have arabic written sticker all around driver door edge and door sill. Those sticker usually carry the VIN number, gross weight, front and back axle weight, made in country kind of information. Secondly you can take the VIN number and call the agency and they can identify over the phone at least if its GCC or not. In some cases they say it's GCC but not sold by them, means it's either imported from Oman or from another emirates dealership. Third you can ask the owner to show you the owners manual, and it always comes in two - English and Arabic manual. Don't just rely on make in country, as I think (I am not very sure) Xterra initial years were made in US for GCC specs too.
  8. I can vouch for barry's workmanship as he has done partial engine rebuilt for my Pajero too and it's still doing totally amazing.
  9. +1, Totally agree with you Barry. Btw, I paid 250 dirhams for above irrelevant diagnose with 1 week wait. Whereas ICV costed me 650 dhs and installed in 30 minutes. I heard Dubai government is working on standardizing car workshop to filter incompetent ones from good, capable and competent workshop. I can't wait for that.
  10. It's here, use the search option https://carnity.com/search/?&q=volvo&type=cms_records5&sortby=relevancy
