Message: <blockquote data-quote="cossie" data-source="post: 725091" data-attributes="member: 2865">to learn how it is best to do somethingprecisely! that's why the money spent by those consumers of luxury vehicles or lesser could have been used to purchase a wider range of CKD vehicles which would have been available due to market demand provided the APs did not exist.i suspect since it is easier to import a vehicle (CBU) rather than to set up a plant for CKD, the government started issuing APs for bumiputras to make a quick buck. if this is correct, it will erode the confidence of foreign automotive companies from setting up their manufacturing base here. many of them do so in the hope that there is also a healthy local demand for their products. due to government policy, it is not confidence inspiring to inject capital into malaysia only to have some well-greased person hand someone a stack of APs to bring in cars that will kill off this venture. furthermore, the number of APs issued are unchecked and can number any amount with no strict rules and guidelines. it seems as if the actual number of APs issued are dependent on the number requested by certain parties.so if a foreign company were to do an economic feasibility study, they will conclude that:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">we cannot predict the actions of the government or the people in power;</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">we can't tell if the local businessman will look towards long term growth or make a quick buck by bringing in cars in an unscruplous manner;</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">we don't know what are malaysia's 10-20 year automotive policies;</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">if they are willing to use something they term APs, then we should manufacture outside malaysia and have them import it whicle we manufacture from another country with a good automotive policy.</li> </ul>this can still be what the future looks like. just scrap the APs and everything we want to drive is dependent on market demand and must be assembled locally. this will ensure cheaper spare parts as CKD cars include much local content and there are also the gains from the practice of learning how to manufacture different types of parts at different levels of quality for different automotive companies. it is just an expansion of what malaysians are already capable of doing: assembling vehicles. we would benefit the same way the british and americans have by assembling japanese cars. if the british, americans and japanese have concluded that this is the way to go, then malaysia will not be going backwards by following the examples of economically successful nations.afterall, what's the purpose to education? i believe it is to learn how it is best to do something. one way to learn is to follow examples of those who made it.we really cannot afford to have an unchecked outflow of funds with nothing coming in. malaysia will become a very poor nation if this carries on.</blockquote>

Speedometer Problem

Hi! Got problem :cry_smile: with my speedo, going crazy everytime I hit a something or I make a sharp left turn, it goes crazy.

Anyone with similar experiences and any remedies besides changing the whole meter cluster?
