Drove my Tuscani for 5.5 yrs before trade in for a Carens (a great car to move the family around) during the 5.5 yrs did the following replacement:- radiator -diy at cpark( top casement crAcked during 4 yrs old) two timing belt change ( clocked near to 200k km) changed batteries twice changed brake pads twice aircon heating coil leaked ( blocked flow of radiator water to heating coil , aircon forever in coldest mode.. No selection of temperature. Replacment very troublesome.) that's all......:-)

Shit .................maybe kana con again? ? i hd my Left side driveshaft removed to re-conditioned and reinstalled back for $80. first , mech ask me whether there is noise "tot tot tot " when doing moderate speed u-turn. then advised me that the dS is not spoilt , juz re grease and change new rubber covers to some people, it may be expensive, but to me, looking at the amount of work that was done, ..... remove , clean , regrease, reseal and install. i think, its a fair bit of work! c how long it will last.!

Very angry liao. ...my drive shaft no "tot tot tot " leh........... actually I was there to change break pad only before my trip to KL...... After removing the front tyre he call me "Handsom your drive shaft koyak liou" while shaking his head he point at inside the wheel rim with the oil stain and also the broken rubber cover. "Dont change ok or not" I reply. "no garenty lah, at high speed wheel can come out loh"he say Feel so scary since going KL the next day So to be safe I change lah......... The even offer to send me home and fetch me later using my car during the test drive since I stay nearby............Wah inside my mine I say "This is the best customer service" ;D Now i don`t dare to check or ask anybody to check.......lesson learn c how long it will last!!!

"knock knock" in the morning......hmmmmm...may be pregnant lah bro......Ha ha ha ha ........better get it check..... Joke aside .....lesson learn..... 1.Try to stick to the same workshop witch you think is ...reliable,efficient ,affordable and somehow honest. 2.Get second opinion if in doubt 3.Make sure they honour their words, check the parts 4.try to be there for assurance
