Now alot of peoples was talking about how good this P1 Wimax broadband is.. how fast, how reliable it is.. so since my izzi broadband is expiring soon, so i gave it a try.
Signing up was as easy as a b c. I went to the nearby carrefour, walk to their sales booth and ask them to check is there any coverage on my area (previously there is none) and there is! seems like they finally updated to my area, setapak . So next, got my IC n driving license out and sign up. Down payment? RM0.. will be billed on the first bill.
My package.. 1.2mbps for rm99 a month, period.. 2years (free modem).

My package.. 1.2mbps for rm99 a month, period.. 2years (free modem).
The modem looks nice... kinda big tho, comparing to my izzi. So apart from the good looking modem easy to sign up package without me paying anything at front.. there is nothing.. nothing at all.. the connection is suck! worst than my good old izzi broadband |(which is suck also) this is bad.
Connection speed? - less than 300kbps with constant disconnected. load one page stuck at the other page.
Stability? - what stability?.. none...
Broadband speed test site ? not be able to even load it..
so verdict?
goin to return it this weekend.. since it had the so called 15days trial.. with full refund (which i didnt pay anything at first anyway) and if you used more than 10GB, there is will charges of RM50.. which i dont think i can even get up to 100MB!!
hmm seems like i will need to reopen my phoneline and sign up the bad old streamyx.. thinking of this package
2mbps for Rm140 a month
adsl modem provided
phoneline rental waive
free wireless router
what ya all think?

Click the picture and print it out then stick at behing the front seat headrest facing rear seat
Now recently the gov. had impliment the rule of having the rear seat car passanger to buckle up or be prepared to be fine. Now that is a good move as the rear seat belt does saved life or else it wont be there on modern cars (yeah yr 1995 and before cars is old, sorry to say that) But somehow the way of punishing those offenders is not acceptable by all. Now you will know what i meant.-------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Pualtan blog-From the new year onwards, all passengers in a car whether sitting in the front or back have to buckle up or face a RM300 fine. This only applies if the passenger is over 17 years old, but if you are younger, the driver of the car is the one who will be punished as according to Road Transport Director-General Datuk Solah Mat Hassan, it is the responsibility of the driver to ensure the safety of the minors that they are driving.
This new seatbelt ruling includes the rear seatbelts, but excludes the following:
- Cars registered before 1st of January 1995
- Cars registered after the 1st of January 1995 but not equipped with rear seatbelt anchorage points
- Commercial vehicles such as taxis and rental cars
- Vehicles with more than 9 seats including the driver’s
- Transport vehicles with capacity above 3.5 tonnes
Wait, that’s not all. The RM300 fine will be in effect only within a “grace period” of between the 1st of January 2009 to the end of June 2009. From the 1st of July 2009 onwards, this fine will be upped to RM2,000 and you could even go to jail for up to 1 year. Yes, it may seem harsh… but if you buckle up, you won’t have to worry. It’s for your own safety anyway.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now from this article me and my mate well, Andy Gti and i had a heated so called debated which lasted for hours lol (yeah kinda sad uh?). In his opinion the fine of the ridiculous high price is bunch of bollocks, his fact?
-It is a nature of human to forget (sounded like Mahathir's melayu mudah lupa.. yeah) and it is very unfair for them to be fine at such a high price (RM2k / 1 Year jail) for something that they forgotten.. eg. buckle up the seat belt la.
-And it is unfair for those who followed the law (so called good citizen) to be fined just because they forgotten just once (very unlucky) while those who didnt follow the law so (called bad citizen) to get away with it. (He knows coz he said he seen the world.. or Malaysia in this matter)
Ok now.. i do agreed with him, he got his point.. but then again.. i think it is just a bunch of bollock excuses.... using 'forgot' ,'lupa', 'oublié' ,'忘记' ,'भूल गया' as his main point.
They way i think of it.. well there should be something to make peoples to remember. To imprint in thier mind that not wearing a seat belt at the rear seat now is an offence. It is a very simple and straight forward way to do it.. you dont wear, you got caught, you get fine. Thats it.. no gimmick no nothing.. same as the front passanger and driver, we always wear a seatbelt when we got into the car.. because we knew it is an offence if we dont wear it. (altho i knew some peoples purposely dont wear it esp. they think of it is just a short distance, its late at night no one will know etc and not because they forgot!) So my point is..
-You know how much it will cost you if you dont wear the seatbelt, so try to remember it and buckle up.
-If you forgot, and got fined which is very unlucky but by now you should had remember it deep in your heart to buckle up next time.
-You still forgot.. thats means Rm2k / 1 yr jail means nothing to you.. then you deserve it la.. aka padam muka.
Now what does Andy tought of my opinion?.. well he said i am bollock naive.. my eyes is closed, didnt see the world close enough and bollock lol yeah alot of bollocks.. then again i ask him what should be done to make sure peoples remember to wear the seatbelt at rearseat?..
and i am still waiting for the answer tho.. maybe in his opinion is.. the gov. should just encourage peoples to wear the rear seatbelts and it is up to them to wear it or not.. so if you die thats your problems la.. who cares.
But end of they day.. i think it is a good move providing first time offenders gets a warning, then second time fine with no more than rm300, do again fine up to rm2,000 then 'forgot' again, jail.. still forgot... oh well go see doctor la..
And even with me and Andy debating or arguing.. it is a fact.. and it is really happening (altho the rm2k / 1yr jail i am not so sure it will happen.. you know la thing change mar) So for your own and your love one safety .. please buckle up la.. not very hard to do mar, just pull n click.
ps- if you really scare you might forget like what Andy mention.. i provided you some artwork where you can download it then print it out and stick in your car. .. see how good i am.. hehe
Smaller size, just click, save and print then stick it at the back of your front seat headrest facing rear seat
Much bigger size, click and save it then print it out, put it at the front seat rear pocket or something, kinda like aeroplane safety booklet :)

Previously the only Service Center that i always been to is at Kheng Soon in Jln Chan Sow Lin, infact 5 times in 2 months.. reason?.. well they couldnt rectify my car problems which got a 'tak tak' sound when turning the steering wheel at a very low speed movement.. well atleast twice on all the 5 times i've been there. I wouldnt wanted to say anything about thier service, just try and find out yourself.. some might like them some otherwise.
Then I've been to Volcare too located at the Jln Ulu Kelang along the MRR2, altho thier service is good in the sense of friendliness but they are lack of equipment and experiance staff... a normal service or oil change is ok.. but others might had some trouble.. and by the way they are using Total engine oil.. so i would recommanded for an oil change there if you like. But they also fail to rectify the steering problems.

Enterance to the building
So after sometimes i had to bare with the steering noise and also some push from Andy, i decided to try my luck at Peugeot Blue Box at Glenmarie. Actually i've been there before with the my206club's member for the 407 test drive and also the 308GT.
It was when i was there to for the 308GT test drive time, I get to met the new Head of Department of the Peugeot Service Operation Divisions, After Sales. Mr. Hin.
At first look, he does remind me of my uncle (Alvan's Dad which is also a Technician). He was friendly and really care for the cars owner, infact he came to me and told me about how to take good care of my car. He even offered me to do some 'magic' & 'protection' on my car! But since it was on saturday which means halfday operating. So i booked for monday to had it done.

One of the Servicing area
Monday, i reaches Glenmarie around 10am and there already about 5-6 customers in. I get my details in and in no time i was in the car with one of the Service Advisor to test drive it and rectify the problems. After it is done i've waited around 11am and finally my car was in the servicing bay.
Mr.Hin came to me personally and explain whats he goin to do with my car, first he goin to add some protection cover and seal up the gearbox flaws which is quite fame with water goin in problems.. which only happens in Malaysia..? Next he goin to do some grounding on my cars electrical wiring. All is kinda alien to me as i am not much a petrolhead.. (which in my defination still learning to walk). One good thing is Mr. Hin love to use resemblen wording instead of technical word which makes us understand more easily.
On the sametime someone from NZ Galaxy also arrived and took all my doors panel away for redoing all the screws and nuts. (Thanks to 'someone' from the Marketing department which attend to me when i told him the problems of loose screw inside the door panel which makes a clicking sound)
Around 12pm the servicing bay is closed for lunch. On the sametimes Mr.Hin also often came to talk to me about some car care tips, maintaining tips and so on.

My BB lion getting ready to be 'bless'
After 3-4 cups of 'Teh Tarik' they finished doing the gearbox seal and grounding and at around 3pm one of the Service Advisor, Mr.Tham told me they found the cause of the steering noise. Its was cause by the steering shaft which need to be replace. He told me they needed atleast 1/2 day to get it done and since it too late now would i want to leave the car with them or come back at other time. And since i needed the car, i choose to come back the next day. But still i ended up waiting till almost 5pm coz the NZ Galaxy guy havent bring back my door panels!!! urrghh...Mr.Tham did try to be helpful by calling them to hurry up tho. and luckily they did managed to catch me before i decided to go home without it.. I also saw Fiona aka Fibbles there and chatted with her (for those who followed the AW Forum on 'Water in Gearbox' will know).
Reception floor
Day 2, I arrived much earlier around 8.30am which is thier opening time.. and guess what? there is already 3 person waiting inside.. wow... told the Service Advisor about my car and waited there for few minutes then saw Mr.Hin coming down from the 1st floor (one of the customer there told me Mr.Hin was here since 7.30am everyday) and straight away he say to me they going to do it now and sorry to makes me come again. Then in no time my car was driven into the servicing bay to be fixed and 'bless'.
Stair leading to the 1st Floor, Sales depaerment
Again waited for awhile and Mr.Hin came to talk with me and another customer. And he kept telling me they are on it now doin the steering shaft.
Waiting area
Around 11am my car is finally fixed!... all is well... no more noise and with the grounding and ecu reset etc. my car actually felt difference.. more smooth and most of all after had to live with the 'tak tak' sound each time i turn my steering wheel for 2 months now its sooo smooth n quiet.. peace at last haha..

I would surely recommanded Blue Box Glenmarie for sure. Especially with Mr. Hin there.. Nasim, Peugeot got a savoiur and the owner can be rest assured that there is actually someone that do care about thier car!
However there is some tips tho. to get things done smoothly
1. Be cool, yes you might lost it especially all the problems you facing before kept coming up and seems like no one care or no one can solved it.. still be cool..
2. Talk to the right person, dont bark at the wrong tree.
3. Make sure you clarify your problems with as much details as possible as it will be much more easier and faster for them to check n detect fault. Eg. when does it happen? how does it happen? what kind of symptoms and cause that you think it might contribute to the fault (modification)? etc etc.
4. Be patients.
The best is if you can talk with Mr.Hin personally and he will be more than happy to help you, to bless your car. Just a piece of advise tho, dont try to act smart, dont lose your coolness, be humble and surely enough you wont had any problems communicate with him.. and when both of you in in the right track i am sure all your problems will be solve. Let him do his thing, let him bless your car.. and you will enjoy it for the rest of your life.
Those who met Mr.Hin and actually spoken with him before will know what i meant.. so good luck :)

Looks dirty n ugly
Well no more, i got a tips for you on how to easily clean it and maintain it in a tip top conditions.
All you needed is 1 piece of scour pad ( those green pan sponge ) cut it in smaller size, best is same size as the plastic lining, 1 black KIWI show polish and 1 old cloth.
Watermark that cant be clean of just by normal washing
First use the scour pad to scrub off all the watermark, dust etc. make sure it is evenly scrub and also most importantly not to scrub on your car paintwork!
Next use the old cloth and the KIWI shoe polish, give it a good amout of it.. dont be stingy.
Lastly slowly n gently apply it on the plastic part, you might need to redo a couple of time to make it all evenly dark/black.
The final result, it looks clean and new. I could had do a better job on it hehe but since i havent wash my car yet so i just do a little demo for the blog
Another tips is how to maintain your wiper so that it last longer and performs better. All you need is a very simple thing either a clean cloth or few pieces of tissue papers.
Hold the wiper in the middle and grab it together so that its not loose.
Use the cloth or tissue papers and wipe it hard in up down motion.
You will notice it is very dirty. The wiper gets dirty easily so it is best to clean it whenever possible and not just wait untill you decided to wash the car. The method is simple and doesnt require water or detergent and can be done at any place. Of course it is better to used detergent and water for best result.
Thanks to Mr.Hin from Blue Box Glenmarie for the tips
