  8. Using cruise control.

    in General Discussions

    Posted · Edited by syedyaseer

    Couple of years ago I read a report in which they mentioned that the reason for that particular incident of cruise control failure was unauthorized modification done by the owner of the car from unauthorized worshop. I'm not aware as what modification was done on it which caused CC to malfunction.

    So here comes my update so far -

    1. Checked engine -ripped off as heard some minor sounds from engine and it was found exhaust side camshaft was broken- replaced it and overhauled engine and now it works fine

    2. Replaced all fluids and after replacing the steering pump doesn't feel well with new oil. Bought another pump - waiting the garage to replace it.

    ( one advantage i found with pathfinder R50 is that all parts are easily available and of low cost )

    3.Front suspension damaged and need to be replaced - replaced with heavy duty CR7 suspension and it works fine

    4.Running on stock coils

    its so fun to drive a manual here it brings back me nostalgia of driving car back home ( in India). 😍

    I personally like to drive Manual. Due to traffic issues here. I need to think twice.

  22. RSA Car Insurance Review - THE BEST

    in General Discussions

    Posted

    I have a similar experience with Oman Insurance. I get better premiums compare to other provider. I tried to get quote from RSA for my prado too. OIC was around 600 cheaper. I get better deals with OIC may be because im with them since 2013. Taxi bumped into my corolla from rear. Claim was handled very professionally. Cancelled my 1st car policy(UAE) in 2016, refund was processed in 3 working days. It was the same when i cancelled my corolla policy in March this year. Refund amount was in my account on the 3rd day of the request.

    What industry do you work in? What job are you looking for? Maybe someone here can help?

    Dont forget to look at indeed, bayt and dubizzle. 

    The market is tough at the minute. I’ve been searching for a new job for the last 3 months and I’ve been getting offers but most of them have been stupid offers. Last offer I had was 4K per month to manage a garage. 2 years ago that would have been a 15k minimum job. There are so many new people coming to Dubai looking for jobs and offering to do the work for a quarter of the price, so the older more experienced people are getting pushed out. 

    Racism is a big issue too. When you read the ads you see, European only, kabayan only, Indian only, Pakistani only. Illegal, but nothing is ever done about it. A lot of people get hired because of the colour of their skin, wether they can do the job or not. When I first came to UAE I had a hard time getting a job as a mechanic. People would always tell me white people cant be mechanics. Of course they can, I’m from a white country, all the mechanics are white, but here people looked at me like some sort of novelty because only brown people can be mechanics here.

    Then you’ve got wasta and nepotism. People will hire people they know, just because they know them. It doesn’t matter if they can do the job.

    You really need to do something to make yourself stand out from the crowd. Have something nobody else has and make yourself noticeable. I used to have people sending me CVs every day. Most of them went straight in the bin. But, a good CV will stand out and be noticed. Change your CV around and make it applicable to the job you are applying for. Don’t just make one generic CV and send it to everyone. Changing a few sentences here and there can make it seem like you’re really interested in that particular job and make you stand out. You need to sell yourself. It’s not the employers job to make you shine, it’s yours.

    I won’t lie to you and say the job market here is awesome, because it isn’t. Finding a job takes persistence and hard work. When you’re working you work 8 hours a day, maybe more. When you’re not working, that’s 8 hours a day you should be spending looking for work. 

    The most important thing is don’t give up hope. Keep searching. If you try hard enough, you will get there in the end. It will take time but you will get there. Stay positive, keep applying. Print your CVs and go and visit companies in your industry. You can always sell yourself better personally than you can from an email.

    Good luck

    Woww!! @Barry You have covered all key points in one go. I absolutely agree on the fact that market is not that good. But it is a life cycle. It will turn positive sooner or later.
