    As long as the oxidisation is on the outer side it can be restored to a reasonable condition. First clean it with a mild soap solution and with sand paper After that you can use any product like Scratch Out to help restore the headlight.

    With the cool morning weather, lets plan a fast paced drive through the amazing long range dunes of Al Faqa desert. This area offers plenty of opportunity for ridge riding, side sloping that would test your offroad skills. The drive is for Fewbie+ (atleast 3-4 drives at Fewbie Level) and Intermediates only. Plan is to start at sunrise and drive till about 10:30 AM or even a bit more weather permitting. When: 1 Nov 2019, Friday Meeting time: 06:00 AM, the convoy will move sharply at 06:15 AM Where: Al Faqa Desert GPS Coordinate: https://goo.gl/maps/dt57TRJ3ak4SrCkX8 Level of drive: Fewbie+ (atleast 3-4 drives at Fewbie Level), Intermediate and above Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 10 inches of ground clearance.

  9. Srikumar
    On the back side. If it's automatic then they clearly mention it
  10. Srikumar
    yes, that what I was informed by RTA at the registration counter, that you can register a manual vehicle on an automatic license but you cannot drive it, legally atleast.

If no absolute newbies sign up, the level will be raised depending on the convoy that has signed up. Looking for an easy relaxing drive for everyone with plenty of opportunities to learn and grow, hill climb, and ridge riding.

    Some awesome dunes. Great capture.

    These XJ guys always think they are too smart and try to do something other than what the car in front has done. 😋 Same can be said for some RAV4 drivers as well.

    Select "Advanced" and then there will be a small link to proceed. It should then open up.
  16. Srikumar
    Did you check your mounts?
  17. Srikumar
    Does this work for Dubai registered cars as well?

    As per Honda service schedule, if you are using full synthetic 5w-30, you need to change it in intervals of 10,000 kms only. I think a 500 ml drop in oil level is not a major concern and you can carry an extra one litre with you and top up as and when needed.
  19. Srikumar
    Firstly for Honda Accord the recommended engine oil grade is 5w-30 and not 10w-40. It's better to use full synthetic grade. Have you noticed any oil leaks where you have parked your vehicle? And by how much has the oil reduced in level?

    @desertdude did you happen to try to Bosch platinum plugs on your XJ. The reason why I am asking is that in that most of the US forums they have mentioned that the 4.0 and bosch platinum plugs dont go together. Some of the comments have been that in the initial period bosch plugs worked ok, but after about 5000 km they started facing rough idle, and also when they checked the spark plugs there was carbon buildup. They recommend to go with the Champion / NGK / OEM Copper Plugs especially the 4.0 With the temperature conditions varying from the US, wanted to get a local perspective.
  21. Srikumar
    I understand what you say @sertac, and I would also do the same. But just wanted to know if there is really any difference?
  22. Srikumar
    Hi, Need some help with the spark plugs. Its time for me to change them and when I checked the market, they informed that the OEM (Mopar) is available for AED 75 (for set of 6) and those made by Champion is available for AED 45 (for set of 6). But what I have understood is that Mopar spark plugs are either made by Champion or NGK. Any inputs? Ofcourse, the safe option would be to go with the Mopar spark plugs, but is this just a case that the same manufacturer when branded under OEM becomes more expensive?
  23. Srikumar
    From what I understand, steam wash is the best that you can do for your car. Diesel does affect the life of rubber and I am not sure if it should be used. But it does help with removing of all the squeaky noise.
  24. Srikumar
    @Boney Johnohn if you have not yet been able to remove the rear aluminium bumper lip, don't worry. Join the drive, and I will give you a hand in the morning. Should take about 10 mins
  25. Srikumar
    Due to the limited participation not meeting the minimum car requirement, the drive has been cancelled. @Javier M you can join the Newbie drive if you wish.
