Seeing you online now. This is the 56th hour since I collected the MPV. And exactly as I had earlier
suspected, the salesman did not change my battery as promised earlier.
On the 51st hour (6pm) my wife gave me a call saying the MPV could not start, and needing another
nearby workshop people to come and jump start the battery and engine.
I am going to change the battery under warranty tomorrow morning.
Over these 2+ days of learning, I toggle the "Trip" button until the display JUST BEFORE THE distance to empty.
It is a REAL TIME INSTANTANEOUS DISPLAY of the FUEL CONSUMPTION.
I realized the best economy of fuel consumption comes at 80km/hour.
The display showed a variation of between 4.5L/100km till 7.1 L/100km.
This is very much depending on whether you have a really consistent non vibrating
right foot and the road surface without undulations. If all conditions are perfect,
it will clearly show a reading about 5L/100km constant at 80km/hour.
This will be more fuel saving than Waja definitely and still waiting for the next refueling to finally calculate
the eventual correct fuel consumption.

Hi lionelstep,
So far I only know that LK is the only authorised SC in Muar; but you should know that their core business was on some other makes so I went to them once only. Watch out as the mechs aren't too familiar with our ride then when i went to them in '08. Perhaps they are better now... ;-)
As long as you have some basic knowledge I think it's okay. Just be around when they are doing your ride and also . For me I got my servicing done in JB but trust me for the regular maintenance this can be done at any shops outside. For warranty purpose its best to stay with SC for now though. I do find the labour charge for SCs expensive.
As for tyre balancing, no comments but I went to the one next to Bata close to Bentayan as it is the authorised centre by LK. Service just so so though.. BTW, it's normal if after all the balancing & alignment your ride will still sway to the left; most of this contributed by the c**p OEM tyre. Just changed mine few months back and the problem is almost gone.
Have fun with your ride! I am sure you will grow to like it more just as I do. ;-) Give me a honk whenever you see me ya!
