some of the people I know are trying to head to Europe and some are just going back....am also seeing lately the shops which used to have key money are slowly vacant and empty if trends continue like that vat plus the increasing government fees then economy will squeeze pretty tight...

its easier to say then do my brother have you ever been to the municipality office or lately the so called chambers of economic development @Barry you wouldn't be singing this song...its like you need this piece of paper stamped ok pay this and get it stamped and go to other counter and pay and get it stamped few days go by in this process if you have wasta yet still you are paying but the process will finish say in a day if any one stamp is not there then your licence process will halt untill you cough up and finish that

i am desperately not asking for handouts but sure am not in the mood of getting my ass raped every year with a new scheme for looting money...i dont have any water or toilet facilities here at my shop yet every year i have to pay sewerage and this year they took 1700...this year they relieved our shop for from the waste collecting fee which was 2.5k per year really dint know we produced waste too as the boxes and carton are taken by the paper old man and old oil is collected by the oil recycling guy and other waste shop stuff like alternators starters and engine gear basically any metal stuff is taken by the scrap guys well while renewing my shop agreement they have levied a new tariff of 5k along with the 10% of rent + 300 they take as service fees people who are on salary see things differently and people who run things have a very different prospective...

@Barry you forgot to mention the star in it...starlet

yes sure the government allotted that fund to local governments to fund their own people so all expatriates can drop their high hopes of any social security as you turn 65 we all can too f off this country...

this car is also related to the above its a sunbeam tiger made in britain has a ford v8 and punches a hell lot of power for its size

its almost regularly done with 5 to 7 years gap...many go and many still stay like that...

only glass lid you can get new but whole assembly the channels with motor can get from the used guys

get a LS gs or lx any model from 2k if the car is well kept then i am sure it will out last any car on your list with minimal spend plus the luxury and power it has those cars have time and again proven to be trusty partners i have a customer who works in sila military camp he uses a ls400 96 with 800k+ on odo but goes on it happily

there are many who have good spare change so they just toss cars in the collection or sometime in a yard to rot heard from a friend of a friend that used to work for someone in alain that guy had a very big house and had as many as 150 or 200 cars in there he just used to drive them around until he got bored and then went to get another one...

its a iconic brand in india heard its a strong car i once had the opportunity to open its bonnet it had something similar to a water motor in regards of size for a engine there was space in the front rear and left and right of the engine also has a similer look to the cars above

best go for honda if its versus mazda but if you asking for honest opinion then dich all and go for a lexus

you have cars from alfa romeo to zonda here that means all of them have their unique powertrain, chassis and body designs diagnostic machines to learn all of them is outright impossible. it's like asking a guy to loosen the head bolts with your bare hands if you take electronics work to a simple mechanic then its your mistake that he couldn't fix it. doing exactly that and crying out loud that mechanics here don't know anything is absurdly wrong you have to take it to a proper technician who is a specialist and is well equipped to get it diagnosed and fixed will surely be in the best interest and as you have experienced yourself that good work takes time as too much resources are allocated to it and something which consumes time should be adequately compensated that's how it goes in almost all the trade in the world or else they won't be surviving as you yourself have lived your last life as a mechanic but time and again yet people have to remind you to be courteous, polite which is in essence to whole point of this forum

its just one ole chance you get lucky when some cars share same or with minor difference i have heard somewhere that mazdas used to share parts with maseratis now you wont always find such chances as it back fires too i had a ford explorer 95 come in for a shot alternator its already a rare car so upon digging i got a alternator of a very new model which matches it and it was very expensive in the end we just changed the armature and its carbon plate and said him byes

maybe you forgot to mention about the crumbling interior and the electric glitches which sometimes poof the modules

could be clutch problem could or the high side pressure sensor which should just cutoff the compressor when the high side reaches very high pressures...could also be the compressor itself or the gas levels are not right cant be said unless hooked up to a manifold and some looking into it...

have quite a few stories of European cars laying around in sanaya only because parts are not available most of the time not even in agency there is a 2008 a6 laying in my friends garage roting because of key issue apparently it needs bcm engine computer and the whole steering column almost same shit happened to my lancer the key broke in the cylinder I just took out the transponder chip and stuck it up the cylinder receiver and bought a IG switch and a spring switch for the starter its been over 4 months and best 20 bucks spent its running like a charm...bet your 2006 lancer doesn't start with a push button

that so called jap crap will take you from A to B beautifully how many 190e you seeing at the streets and how many corolla from even br that era you see on the streets..?

5k is good money if hooked at the right place there are many cars you can get for that price first being the knuckle head camry from 98 to 2001 https://tnydu.biz/DOwCTt its a strong car have one running with us for more then a decade..its a iron block engine does not die easily. parts are very easy to get... https://tnydu.biz/DOwBxX then there is a dodge durango from 98 to 04 is a 8 cyl elephant has a hami engine is sure a strong sturdy car one of my customers has one of these cars he sold it and the next one sold it to another all along with my shop address for service and arranging its parts too had to run around a bit until i found a guy shj who would stock these cars https://tnydu.biz/DOvyDs then you can get beetle above 2k model the interior in this car is just ready to break if you touch it like the glove box center console and the door panels those are bit hard to find specially of matching colors hell who cares you said it just has to move from a to b and i guess it fits the criteria nicely other than that the mechanical section parts are available and 1 thing is crazy in this car the driver side window regulator is expensive than the passenger side one go figure... you also can get your hands on corolla 93 to 2001 at his range or less and those car run great with great mileage and parts are available almost everywhere you can also get nissan sunny 95 to 2005 for this range and up to 2k they are very strong cars after that its just a money pit you can also get altima 03 to 06 or 07 but those cars are also unreliable easily shot and also the interior problems with them sucks big time then there is the mitsubishi magna and galant which are just always waiting for parts but the lancer is a different story its a good car has good mileage no use flooring it as it is not a sporty jock as compared to others in this range class but will just run nicely...parts are pretty strong and they last guess that should be enough for now

cherokees have a very delicate electronic system any sensor or actuator giving out of spec readings will trigger the no bus message and some times all hell unleashed on the electronics...as its a bus system

plugs and coil pack...

continuous revving on lower gears makes the the coolant expand and spit out of reservoir...when doing such kind of driving ensure to keep an eye for the temp. gauge and oil pressure gauge...well leave it to cool off nicely and top up with coolant or water and bleed off the system if equipped with such keep an eye in the radiator cap place and see if any bubbles are coming up if not then all is good P.S do the last step when car is sitting up all night or at least such time has passed to gauge the damage if any that occured or else better yet let some professional mechanic handle such things there is high risk of cap flying off and you burning your self

i have this one spanner i treasure the most it has even opened slip bolts i keep it hidden in the cupboard only take it out when i see rusty nuts and bolts or have work under the car..it has saved the trouble one to many times and my dad has given me this spanner...

eid mubarak to everyone...

this is one of the days in when the road to jebel jais was still in papers and not in real there used to be a beaten path up till wadi beah i guess it was 98 or 99 eid time i with a group of friends had my dads trusty corolla 86 we want up to wadi beah it was winter time and the place was just full of fog so dense we couldn't see a flying fuck anywhere so some were spooked and some were just in for the sake of fun of it we had planned to spend the night there in the wadi so were prepared with some lenins and covers and bbq stuff when we reached and spread the sitting and water was just condensing on top of everything we couldn't even start a fire and gave up and then after having chit chat about things and started to just doze off it was really cold there in sometime later in the night i woke up to a wired sound my eyes opened and i am just trying to feel my friends nearby as i could see anything. there was no one in the blanket everyone just jumped in the car and had the heater running we then packed up and made a run back and some times later on i mentioned that i woke up to a sound which they spooked one then related to we never stopped by for the night in that area.... P.S :i got my D/L sometimes in 2014...
