abu dhabi is far from where i live but i guess @Asif Hussain lives in that region maybe he can shed some light on this topic
if you state what you need to get done then someone here will be able to help you...
i once had a customer he got the car at 300k and ran it till 600k something without changing the timing belt when i opened the timing cover for replacing the seals i told him that he had to replace the belt too as it was oil socked...
at one of the drives we had to fix the tyre on the rim and inflate it as @skumar83 was not having a proper spare tyre with him with everyones intervention and some hacking the spare was ready
we can also get some input from our newest member @The Tyre Man
if synthetic rope was better then all the wiench and cranes would be using it...we have to take the better with its flaws here guess it means the bleeding hands..we could use cover for the entire length but then it would be thicker then it already is..guess the only option remains is using good fat gloves then
you have already written the points and wrote agreed in front of almost every point. then where we stand to bring out our weapons and fight through it..last question was asked by one who was open to both sides so he could collect side ideas...
this post is already biased towards the auto...so its a uphill fight....
@desertdude well you cant say that a catastrophe with the manual one as eventually before the mechanical intervention (changing the clutch kit) you did drive out till the workshop without much assistance did you..?
the last time i had one come in to shop drove it without the clutch as its oil pipe got leaked you remember right @skumar83
we had a live demonstration of automatic vs manual on friday with both the cherokees in the group when @skumar83 climbed the iftar bowl in all his attempts and @sertac with his automatic one failed a few times when @Gaurav tried it went up could be because of the driver and cars having different set of tyres and driving style as sertac is afterall new to all this then sri is according to experience...
if it was all animations and videos in the automatic transmissions books it would have been easier to absorb and put it in use in today's time but thanks for spreading some love
Doesn't oil getting dark means that its doing its job properly I.e cleaning the internals of carbon....can't say about enoc but I almost always use adnoc in my shop unless the customers specifies anything else and its good oil
See Bhai I am here to listen and help I am sure I will explain all the options available and approximate estimates and the ups and down sides of all the options in the end of the day its the owner of the car who will call the shots...we are here to cater the needs of population which includes all types of people...
v6 is weak and when you riding it you will occasionally pass by some turd who will be reving for you to start a run...and hopefully if you have the v8 one you might not be far behind if not in the front of it...
Sure guess is that its from inside the engine when you change back to thin oil the sound you missed will be back...we usually do that jugaad or frugal innovation masking trick when the customer who brought in the car 100% will not go for dismantle of engine or will say that lovely tale of the car being sold or in process of being sold or he has to return the car in question to someone they borrowed it from...and that also today itself....just removed the old oil toss in 20w50 mineral oil and toss in some thick oil also according to the size of engine and the level of sound....phoof the sound is vanished the guy is happy and off he goes to hang the bell on someone else neck....have killed tensioners sound in a maxima and bearings sound in a Mazda yaris and corolla Camry lc
