    help ..
    car experts... (like TF!)

    i drove the Proton WAJA home today ..
    i reached home ..
    the engine idling @ around 500rpm .. was in D&R ...
    but the car shaking..
    dad says he heard some unusual noise from the engine (he was outside the car)

    i park the car ... & there goes... engine just died..
    i tried to turn on the engine.. but the car just wont start ...


    opening the bonnet ..
    the radiator cap was NOT THERE !!!
    it was found nearby stuck on the fan's cover!!!

    DO YOU THINK THE ENGINE IS A GONER !?!??!?!?!?

    any tips & advise????

    pro-tong ! ..

    -blown lights
    ->replace them

    -handbrake button went it
    -> ask SC to just adjust it back to place

    -broken door handle
    -> replace them

    -automatic transmission gone haywire
    -> check circuit board or fuse

    -weird sound / "krong krong"
    -> still dunno what happened

    -power window problem
    -> check the connectors for power window

    -quick wear out of brake pads (back left) (6 months or less i think)
    ->replace them

    -alarm naik gila / haywire
    ->send to some shop outside :p they screwed up the system .. now no alarm .. :p kay to use key

    Don'T add water to the radiator until the engine cools.open the bonnet and let it cool down for at least 2 hours b4 adding water or radiator coolant. Check engine condition tomorrow with a reputable workshop.Hopefully no major damage, :!:

    the engine temperature is not stable ..
    fluctuates from 90 .. to almost near the red line ..
    no coolant yet ..

    Err.. Don't try the engine until you have the radiator filled with water.

    Check your engine oil and see if it's sufficient.. and if it's still okay (not full of soot).
