Chinese teapot

Chinese teapot

neosaint99 — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 00:14:41 +0800

Dear All,

Need some advice on teapots.

There are quite a few nice pieces in the shop where this teaput is and am wondering if they are imitations or the real thing. The sellers are from China and have come here for a few months to sell their wares. The seller said he went around the old villages and offered to buy the villages' old stuff. Is this a practice that anybody has heard off?

This particular pot suites my taste and thus am trying to see if its worth getting. I was told that it is quite old and from the Yi Xing region. The maker of the pot was Wang Yin Xian, and was checked by Chiang Rong who's chop is on the description paper.

The seller says that it is using "the original seed". What does she mean by that?

She also mentioned that if I use a powerful magnifying glass, I will be able to see the "gold dust" in the clay. What does she mean by this?

I was also told that it uses two "original seeds".

Does any of the above make sense and perhaps be truth based on the pictures below?

The cover turns very smoothly in the pot and the sound is indeed very fine and smooth.

Can anything be derived from my pictures? Can anybody guess at the value of the pot based on the pictures?

Thanks all for your advice and help.

Saga LMST 1.3 Fuel Petrol Gauge Meter Not Working

neosaint99 — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 19:16:16 +0800

I drive a 5yo Iswara LMST 1.3.

About 3 months or so ago I noticed that my fuel gauge was showing empty even though the tank was full. This was after I had parked the car for a month (travelling). I always disconnect the battery for long trips. After a few days the gauge started to work again. So I thought perhaps it was a sticky rheostat or something.

Fast forward to last week. Just came back from another 1 month travelling stint. My gauge showed zero again, same scenario as before except that this is 1 week on and it has not recovered - still showing zero.

A cluster plug is used to connect the wires to the sender unit. I shall name the pins as follows based on what they are connected to:
1. Rheostat
2. Middle
3. Ground

I took out the sender unit and measured the resistance. Measurements between pin 1 and 3:
Full tank: ~100 Ohms
Empty: 0 Ohms

Pin 2 seems to be connected to the middle (only pin of) a capacitor of sorts, the body of which is soldered to the supporting bar therefore it is grounded. But in the cluster plug leading away from the sender unit there is no wire for the middle pin - suspect this sender unit is a standard item that is also for some other car?

I then measured the wires coming to the sender unit.

Neither is Grounded.
Neither is Live.
The do connect to each other.
Summary: Wires seem to be dead.

Has anybody experienced this before? Any suggestions to get the gauge working again?

Thanks.

Do Not Buy V-Kool

neosaint99 — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 23:42:58 +0800

Note to moderator:
please set as sticky
important for our readers to know
thank you

hi guys
just would like to share my experience as i dont want ya'll to get caught in the same trap

i got vkool fixed on my new iswara lmst in may this year
i did it at the agent in seremban
the job was bad and the edges of the windshield tint started to rust after just a month or so
i also noticed that there were inclusions on the back glass (specs of dust...they didnt clean the glass properly before fixing the tint film)
the film on one of my quarter glasses (the triangle glass on the back door) also started to rust after just a couple of months

so i got my bro to take my car, this time to the head quarters, to be warrantied as i am outstation for a prolonged period
he gave them a photocopy of the warranty card as proof (after all,...they can pull up the details on the system anywayz...all they need is the warranty card number)
but they insisted that he give them the original warranty card...
luckily he had it with him so he handed it over

they told him that for the back glass they can change the film,...but they cant guarantee that my heating strip wont get damaged
(so basically they are saying,...."we can totally screw up the 1st job....but we can change it for you...no problem....but we are sorry if your car gets damaged in the process...you'll have to pay for that")
its stated in their warranty card that the heater coil is not guaranteed...so he couldnt do much about it...
thankfully the coating was still new so it came off without too much trouble

then after they changed all the films (windshield, back glass and quarter glass...and my car is barely 6 months old mind you) they brought the car to the front to hand it over
he noticed that the quarter glass film was coming off so he pointed that out to them and they said its nothing...and used that rubber thing to stick it back to the glass

as he was about to leave, he remembered that they hadnt returned the warranty card to him
he asked for it and they said..."ops...forgot"...or some crap like that
so they went to get it
a few minutes later they came back and told him that someone had torn the warranty card!
so...what does it look like here?....
they were hoping that he'd drive away and forget about the card and when he remembers later they would blame him?....
thats what i think....
anywayz...by that time my dad was my bro, dad n mum were supose to go sumwhere after picking up my car
my dad told them off and they said sorry and said they would issue another card
after alot of pushing and bugging....they handed over the new card...with a new warranty number....i dont know if that will mess up my warranty claims in the future....
anywayz....even with all the pushing,...it still took them a good 20+ minutes to get the new card done (basically to pop a card in the printer and print like 10 lines)

after that was settled, my bro was driving away....
lucky my dad was behind
he noticed that one of my reverse sensors were missing!
it was just the hole in the bumper

so my dad n bro went back and asked the vkool ppl about it
and they started to say that no...it was not them...they didnt do it...etc etc etc
needless to say,...my dad go super pissed and totally fired them
(im like my dad...i take good care of my car...i even know practically every chip or scratch or flaw in the paint of the car...everything)
and i'd be damned if i didnt realize that one of my reverse sensors were missing leaving a huge freaking hole in my bumper!

just some background on the reverse sensor for an iswara
the sensor is plugged in from the outside of the bumper...not the inside
so for it to go missing, they either pulled it out, which would have to definitely be deliberate, or they must have punched it through, which would also have to be deliberate as there was no damage to the surrounding bumper...not to mention that a person fixing a tint film has no business anywhere near the bumper
some might say that one of the worker's knees might have knocked it in,...
this is highly unlikely as this is the type that is practically flush with the bumper

so anywayz...they started to say that it may have fallen in,...which is impossible
if anything, if would have fallen out and be dangling by the wire
they tried putting their hands behind the bumper to feel for it but the iswara bumper has a space between the bumper and the metal support brackets

so they said that they wanted to take it into their workshop behind to jack it up so they could see better
my now my dad was mega pissed and was firing them nicely again about their crappy service and dishonesty
he also told them that the only reason y my bro and i fixed vkool was coz my dad originally fixed it and it was good
(...this was back when it was 1st being introduced...so i guess they were keeping a better check on their QC back then)
now that every1 is coming to them (they are always full house practically everyday at the head quarters center) i guess they dont really care about QC or anything anymore...
they are just interested in getting the cars done,...getting them out...and getting more cars in... i.e. money money money

and they responded that they do Ferrari's and other expensive sports cars
... ...who the heck cares rite?...they could be doing tinting for the freaking space shuttle for all i care...but if they are trying to conn us customers like this...their reputation isnt worth squat

so after telling my dad that they wanted to take it behind and jack it up to look my dad said that he wanted to follow them
they said he cant as it is a restricted area
my dad told them straight that after all they tried to pull he doesnt trust them anymore...who knows wat other crap they'd try to pull

so they got him and my bro passes to go behind
and to be honest,...the head foreman didnt know nuts about how the reverse sensors were fixed
he was trying to pull the bumper abit here n there to get his hands in to feel for the sensor (which would be already broken anywayz if it was forced in from the outside)

then he said they would have to remove the bumper
so my dad said fine
they can do what they liked
but they could see that everything is in tip top condition
they can open anything...but if they damage anything even abit,...they would be paying for it

then they started to get apprehensive
in the end, they said that we can take it to a proton service center and get it fixed and send them the invoice and they would reimburse us

so conclusion,
1. if we didnt remember the warranty card,...they would have kept quiet and blamed us when we remembered it later

2. if we hadnt noticed the reverse sensor,...they would have kept quiet and claimed that it got vandalized elsewhere should we call them up

3. the quality of service and even the quality of installation of the film is no longer what it used to be as there are so many defects...mostly due to
poor workmanship

bottom line,....vkool is actually a great product....but the people selling it in this country can no longer be trusted
i would love to recommend it to you all
but looking at what i have gone through,...i'd suggest you get something else like llumar or other reputable brands
dont go for the 300 or 400 dollar tints...they arent as good...you vision will be compromised

but dont go for vkool...you will most likely regret it and waste alot of your time over the 5year warranty period going back to their center to get the rusting films changed

Practical Mods/Add-ons For Sagas/Iswaras

neosaint99 — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 10:09:28 +0800

Im starting this thread to see what other ppl have done to improve their iswaras

Mods must be practical and have a purpose
These are mods made to the stock car
Hopefully not too expensive either
(e.g. adding things like new skirting or spoiler or transplanting engines are not counted)

Preferably, the mods / add-ons should fall into one of these 5 categories:
1. Increase power
2. Improve FC
3. Improve functionality
4. Improve comfort
5. Improve performance

If you DIY anything that could be of use/interest to other iswara drivers, please feel free to explain the steps/methods you used to make the device/gadget/gizmo/mod

If you dont mind telling, please post the price of your mods / add-ons (for everyone's info...incase we want to fix also )
And if you have pics, we would all love to check out your bling
(but please post them in spoilers/thumbnails to save space)

P.S. Please dont spam

[addedon]October 24, 2007, 10:12 am[/addedon]ok...
heres what i have done for my car so far
they arent expensive...except for the tinting and the rims...those really hurt...

1.
DIY insulated the whole car. used insuflex for floor, booth, roof, bonnet and firewall. used tar strips for door panels.
this greatly reduces road noise, engine noise and that 'milo tin' effect which is so common among the new iswaras
<<<more info here>>>
cost: less than RM300

where i got the stuff:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

2.
DIY install stabilizer bar
this significantly improves handling around corners at high speed. mine is bolted onto the shock's bar. some say that isnt good. the ones that bolt directly onto the body will also work i guess...most important is to stiffen the chassis so it doesnt flex too much when cornering
cost: RM45

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

3.
DIY a door for the glove 'shelf'
without this thing, i couldnt keep much on that shelf....everything kept falling out... i know its not the prettiest thing around...but it serves its purpose marvelously
cost: ~RM25

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

[addedon]October 23, 2007, 9:48 pm[/addedon]4.
DIY installed a vacuum gauge
this helps you drive well...it tells you when you are pressing too hard (shouldnt go less than 5inHg), and also is also the best (cheap) diagnostic tool for your engine
<<<more info here>>>
cost: ~RM100 (including shipping from the US)

Iswara A/C Comp. turns backwards after engine off

neosaint99 — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 10:04:25 +0800

Hey guys

heres yet another prob wif my iswara aeroback 1.3 2007 (i think its a prob)
can add it to my ever lengthening list of issues hahaha

well...here is goes
i run my engine up to operating temperature,...and have the a/c running....
then wen i switch off the engine, the electric clutch will immediately disengage the pulley from the compressor shaft
at this instant, the electric clutch outer plate can be seen rotating in the opposite direction to which the engine was driving it

since almost to when my car was new, as far back as i can remember, everytime i turn off my engine,...i'll get like gurgling sounds coming from my engine...
i always thought it was my water cooling system bubbling back into the overflow bottle or sumthing
but my bro was checking out my engine that day when it was running n i happened to turn it off...and he noticed the a/c compressor clutch plate rotating...and the movement coincided with the sounds

is this something normal?
do i have a valve or sumthing busted in my a/c system?
will this damage the a/c system?

i've uploaded a couple of vids to sendspace.com
whoever is interested can dld the clips n check it out
can hear the sound quite clearly too if u crank up ur speakers a tad

then wen i switch off the engine, the electric clutch for the air cond compressor will immediately disengage the pulley from the compressor shaft

NAZA Parts Always NO STOCK & Too Long To Order

neosaint99 — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 02:21:44 +0800

hi ppl

my friend owns a naza sutera
she was involved in an accident on the way to the lcct about a month back
(freaky shite man,...a lory's tyre nex to her came off!!!...n headed in her direction)
thankfully every1 in the car was fine...n the damage wasnt too extensive...mostly superficial

so she sent it in to get it fixed up
insurance approved workshop n the rest of the jazz
not sure what exactly they are changing
but got a few things lar....i guess fender n stuff...n bumpers kot...

the thing is...its been more than a month and the work shop says its still waiting for parts!

and before this her rear lights were fogging coz water was getting in
she reported this n they said can cover by warranty but have to order 1st
(this is all happening at the 'authorized service center' samo)
that was like a few months back and afaik she still hasnt gotten those changed either!!!...

has any1 else experienced anything similar to this level of incompetence?

does any1 know where the parts r coming from n why they take longer to order than the parts of a silver shadow?

is there anything my friend can do to speed things up?

thanks guys

Help! MSN Plus Live cant import from old .pld

neosaint99 — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 17:17:24 +0800

Hi guys
our dear tyrants at microsoft have just forced me to install windows live messenger
they blocked my trusty old msn 7.5 from logging in!
so i had no choice buy to dld all 17meg of it n install it
and then i got the msn plus live installer for about 4meg
i installed that too

but when i tried to import my old .pld file for all my settings, and most importantly, contact names, it told me that the pld file was created by an older version and thus cant be used
what can i do?
i've got hundreds of contacts and i cant possibly remember all the people's emails to be able to rename them all
(not to mention it would take forever)
is there some converter software out there that i can use?

thanks alot guys

Handphone that can connect to 2 BT devices at once

neosaint99 — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 00:05:01 +0800

Hi guys
Just wondering if there is such a thing out there
Would like it connect to my Palm and a bluetooth headset at the same time
Basically, my intention is to use my palm for sms management and stuff
and the headset for calls
not too particular about the brand as the phone will, for the most part, be left in my bag

Thanks for the input
