It is easy to diagnose top engine mounting kaput.

Just jack-up your engine block from below and if it is so easy to lift up
and if there is a leak in the lubricant fluid (I think should be red
colour) then sudah kaput-loh- Happened to mine & that's how the mechanic
did to check. price~ RM120 plus installation.

(FYI, the inside of top engine mounting contains lubricant (To enhance the
NVH of the car better than those japanese cars)

shammur,

for the switch, have you dismantle it into pieces.

Inside the switch:
1. 3 springs, 1 for position locking, 1 for contact, 1 for rocker.
2. 2 indicators, 1 is LED (orange) with a resistor in-series, 1 is filament
bulb lit when lighting (night) ON.

"did clean it with the sand paper..."
kindly describe CLEARLY! have you clean the internal contact? or do you
have a multimeter or ohmmeter?

"but stil blinking n not proper..i mean press down = on / press bac up =
off i hav to 'finger' it few times to get it on... "
I had this problem about 3 years plus ago, just bad contact, clean it then
apply silicon grease, whole process less than half an hour, no problem
since then.
check if the position locking pin - a tiny coil spring with a piece of
metal like needle with a hook, if it is broken, then you have to change a
complete new switch.

This switch is not worth RM120. It is just a simple single pole ON/OFF
switch with indicators. Another way is to get from "kedai potong" or modify
it to other local available switch with 2 individual LED, plenty at Pasar
Road <RM20.

>do u think it is the 2 rubber tht holds the exzos pipe?

when top mounting kaput, the height of your engine drop. hence the pipe
also lower cause by drop of engine height. this will cause the pipe hit
the cross membrance (which is near / below front seat). This will be very
noticeable when you at 1st gear. Hope this help.
