  • My Getz giving small problem

    Yesterday I am unable to start my Getz for 5mins, I keep trying and finally it started.

    Initially, I thought its battery flat but if that is the case then my radio should be off and my alarm won't be working as well. The problem was that my radio setting and my clock setting was reset. I also thought it maybe my spark plug giving problem.

    Anyway, luckily I am able to start it and went home safely.

    This morning, I overslept and late for work. When I reached my Getz, I am praying it won't give me problem as I am rushing for time. Luckily, it started at my first ignition.

  • Aircon Filter

    Yesterday, I change an aircon filter for one of the Getz owner and guess what I see on the old filter???

    The old aircon filter is full of dirt, I didnt take down the piture but if I have the chance, I will definitely take it down in future for all to see.

    I get to know from him that its a second hand car that he bought and its already 2 1/2 years old, he haven't change the aircon filter before and not sure if the previous owner did a change or not.

    From my experience, its not change at all throughout the 2 1/2 years.

    Guys, my advise to you is that get it change every 6 months or 15000km whichever come first. Its bad for the health to breath in all the bad air inside the car that is circulating inside all the time. Worst is if you have a baby or pregnant wife sitting inside taking all the bad air.

  • Petrol Price Drop

    Petrol price drop by 10cents but heard that crude oil price rise again $4 today. Hope it won't affect the price at Esso/Mobil.

    The reason I like to use Esso/Mobil is not because they provide the best petrol. I like Esso/Mobil because of it rewards system is 750 points to exchange for $30 petrol whereas, caltex got to use 900 points to redeem $30 of petrol. As for the rest, I have not tried it.

    Also, Esso/Mobil is always working with Citibank to provide you with the best discount. eg, using of Citibank dividend will give yourself a 5% rebate and additional of 3% with any citibank card.

  • Travelling on the road...

    I am travelling on the road with my Getz since I bought it in yr 05. What I have notice is that the traffic here in Singapore is get heavier, the worst part is CTE, during the peak hour even when ERP is operating, there will still be traffic jam.

    Secondly, the behaviour of the driver here is bad compare to the USA and consider better compare to HongKong and China. When comparing with USA, the people in USA is more patient and they will not move (even when the traffic light turn green) when there are pedestrian crossing. When one car give a left signal, the car at the side but behind will give way to the signalling vehicle.

    When I am in Hongkong, the car is travelling like the whole road belong to the driver. During a jam, the car can still cut from one lane to the other.

    In China, you can enjoy the horn playing music every 1 min on the road. The driver will horn like nobody biz.

    The best part is when I am in Thailand, they drive racklessly but the driver behind will always give way to the signalling vehicle. That is why the accident rate in very little.

    I just hope that the driver here will drive safely and have more patient. I have notice in Singapore, some driver like to drive fast but in the end, they still end up waiting at the traffic light with the follow the road limit driver.

    Example:

    Car A is travelling at 80km/h, while car B is travelling at 70km/h. They start at the same point,  but car A is ahead of car B initially but end up waiting at the traffic light ahead. Guess who will be using more petrol. Car A will be using more as he step more on the accelerator more than car B.

    So in order to save more money during this high petrol price period, I urge all driver to be patient and drive safely.
