Hello Pakwheelers,
This is Athar, first of all I want to tell you that I just bought a charade 86 from pakwheels.com, by the grace of Allah and thanks to pakwheels.com I found a satisfying car.
The main reason of posting this thread here is that I am not rookie driver I have been driving since last 10 years when I was 16. But I never maintained a car by myself. I always drove dad's car so obv he takes all tensions for maintaining it and unfortunately I don't know a single thing about car parts or maintenance (just basics) you can imagine it by this :
"When I bought this charade and showed it to my dad, he was looking at the engine and asked where are its Plugs, and I pointed my finger at some other thing I guess its called distributor he laughs then....."
So, coming to the point I have some issues in my car which I want to fix,
1) Suspension :
I don't know what is the difference in suspension or springs, but there is something wrong with those, car makes loud noises on very minor road bumps (like dhar dhar) and you can even feel that bang on the floor of the car, so someone advised me that its suspension need to be fixed. So where and how can I get it fixed ? not so expensive not so cheap.
2) Wheel Alignment :
Some other friend also advised that you should do wheel alignment on your car, its steering is like bajri ka truck rightnow should I go for wheel alignment first or suspension?
3) Speed o Meter :
It's meter is working but it has very dim light I cant even see the speed on the meter, and I want it to be white digits with red needle. I saw a Khyber with this kind of meter, so what should I do to make it that way?
4) Alloy Rims:
My Car has wheel caps on it, I want to get alloy rims some fancy, but my tires are ok (bridgestone tubeless) how can I get new alloy rims to fit with my tyres. I don't know about the size of the current tires.
Thanks in advance brothers, please help a new comer in car's club
P.S. I live near waterpump
