Nice sky

Fuel consumption

Refuel with Shell RON 95 today. I think the combination of the new tyres and ATF Cooler does makes a difference on my fuel bills.

Moderate to agressive driving style, about 1 hour of engine idling with aircondition on - 10.7 km/litre.

Happyyyyyyyy!!

Shell RON95

Travelled to Kuala Lumpur. Refuel with Shell RON 95 prior to travel.

New tyres with nitro gas, new ATF Cooler and new with Shell fuel.

Refuel in Kuala Lumpur - 11.xx km/litre. Moderate driving style and some engine idling. I'm very happy with this achievement.

Reached Johor Bahru this evening. Will refuel tomorrow.

Head unit - video display

Paid a visit to a Car Accessories shop at Taman Perling. I was recommended by a friend who sent his Alphard there.

Original plan was to test this shop's skills on changing my rear light bulb. I had 3 bulbs which needed replacements but the previous shop failed to open up and get access to do so. Fearing damage to my Ipsum, I asked the previous shop to just stop.

With this shop at Taman Perling, I had no worry at all. They used bare hands, some tools, some energy and they used their heads too. Thus, dismantling the covers looked real easy (not easy in fact).

All 3 bulbs were changed. One each for number plate light, brake light and night light. Damage to the wallet - RM20.

Satisfied with their skills, I asked about my problem with my head unit not displaying video when the parking brake is disengaged. They told me that they can solve the problem by adding wires and costed RM50. The previous shop I went asked for RM150. I went ahead.

They did it in 2 tries. After the first attempt, the video keep on the display even after the parking brake was disengaged. However, when the Ipsum reached certain speed or RPM the display went off.

After a call (like a lifeline), they told me that there was also RPM or speed sensor connected to the head unit and they shall fix it. And fix it they did.

RM70 was paid in total for the video and bulb job.
