Fix my Jeep
Where to start with this old '96 Jeep of mine. Must have been 5 years now since we last used it. (Pic is taken during the good old times, probably in '98! From left: Ajim 4 now 15, Emi & Liyana)A lot of mishaps with this Jeep, ever since we first bought it. A week after taking it from the dealer, I took it to KL with my kids and maid. We had our first break down, at Karak, a brand new car, rosak tepi jalan, with kids in it... what a blow that was. We had it towed to KL and fixed a leaking clutch fluid tube, purgh.
The wear and tear is expensive for this Jeep. One by one the sensors failed on us! They must have been substandard, locally assembled lah kan. Then a major part rosak and not available locally. Tah macam mane, one workshop managed to fix it. But then other problems arise and we didn't use it for quite a white.Then we bought a Wira hatchback and I got to use a company car. So we gave the Jeep a rest. Just too long.
It ended up at a garbage dump hauled there by MPK!
Aduh! It must have been there for months by the looks of the weeds at the front fenders. We had a call from a friend asking if we had fixed the Jeep coz it's no longer at the workshop. When we asked the workshop it seemed it got towed away as non-moving vehicle in the city compound at had been placed at the Pusat Pelupusan Sampah!! God! How could they....Since then it has been in and out of a workshop in Beserah. Now it's back to a stand still under our porch.
I am going to have it fixed.

The interior is still nice, sayang pulak. Since my hub don't have the time to work on the jeep I thought I would, with Ajim my son.
Abby till today still did not show up! But my hub managed to pop the hood. I'm going to charge the battery and see what'll happen.
I SMSed Zul: "Proton exora rm72 seven seater, sesuai utk kite."
He replied: "Dah tengok dah ke? Berapa kuasa kuda?"
I replied: "Blum lagi. Brape kude ape? Kude belang ke kude koboi? Lebih kurang kude laut kot."
After a few pumps the jeep is rolling!! With Ajim behind the wheels!! Semalam tambah minyak RM5. With the help of Ajim and his friend Abu off we were the three of use to the gas station with a bottle to the some gas. (Ialah! Bottle 3 liter je yang ade!!)
Again Ajim is behind the wheels, Abu beside him, and I sat grandly behind. Shok juga naik jeep ni. The engined sounds good at 40. But coughing in gear 1. Ade soot coming out from the exsos. Needs some tuning the combustion is not so good.
So next, tuning kalau can get Abby here, cat sikit, then get it to PIKOM for evaluation. See what they say and we'll proceed from there.
so i have to start a mission settle the pembatalan hakmilik. ... after much rayuan with JPJ pembatalan hakmilik berjaya.
so i proceed with pertukaran nama. after much processing, lastly the chasis no is blacklisted! adui... so have to wait another 3 days before anything.
