BRIAN LIFE AND TECH

Hi, this work has been carried out 2 years ago. but, I just have time to write about it.. actually, the starter motor problem start when its took several time to crank the engine before engine able start. Figure 1: Starter motor Its became worst when it took longer for me to start the engine. And I am not able to crank the engine anymore after sometimes. Thats when I realised that my iswara LMST starter motor has gone dead.  Though, I still managed to start the car using jump start (this means that everything else is OK apart from starter motor problem) Below is how work is done.. you can save a lot by doing it yourself. Plus, will boost your confident and knowledge about your car. Symptom: 1) Took several time to crank the engine (if there is life left from starter) 2) Nothing happen when turning the key to ignition mode if battery is ok. 3) Car engine still working if jump start. so, means the starter motor has gone dead.

Common issue with the fan slowing down or working was to the dust and grease started drying. And sometimes due to the damaged capacitor due to its age. Rarely due to the winding damage. Figure 1: Sharp PJS400 fan In the sharp PJS400 fan case, my friend as me to look and fix it for him. Inside Cover of Sharp PJS400? Look what is inside after opening the back cover? Figure 2: Inside the back cover of fan. Too many dust Looks like the fan has not been clean for ages. Why Important to Clean Fan? Dust usually will caused more resistant to the rotation of fan rotor. This is due the dust entering the bearing and mix with grease. Therefore, it is important to have proper maintenance interval or cleaning the blade, front case and back of the fan at regular interval.. Cleaned Fan will have less friction to rotate, less resistance, thus, less energy to rotate and help reduce energy usage...although, it is not as significant. Extra note a

Hi, changing gearbox oil is quite an easy work for proton iswara lmst manual transmission. Figure 1: Proton Iswara LMST Usually, we need to replace gearbox oil for every 30000km, this is recommended distance.. However, in my case, I change my gearbox oil for every 2-3 engine oil change depending on how i drive the car. PARTS: 1)Gearbox oil Castrol GL4 or Penzoil grade 80w-90 (price around RM60 for 4 liter) Figure 2: Manual Transmission Gearbox oil for Iswara LMST TOOLS 1) jack 2) oil drain pan 3) rachet spanar size 24 to release oil drain nut. 4) spanar size 17 for gearbox oil filler nut. 4) adjustable spanar (if require) 5) Oil filling bottle with tube (important to fill the gearbox oil due to small space) need to prepare this before start drain the gearbox oil. PROCEDURE: 1) park car on the level surface and secure the car to prevent movement when doing the work under the car 2) jack the front of the car to give pro
