Most problems of the strada was already discussed in this thread, and old-timers in this thread are probably already tired of hearing the same problems coming out again and again kaya hindi na nagre-reply.

Remember too that our vehicle is a truck and not a sedan.

Hi gurus! I want to put leds as replacement for my stock park lights but what I have are lights within the same heaadlight housing as my halogen. I have fears that the heat generated by the halogens can actually melt part of the led lights. did some googling and this is what I found:

Any comments? Any advice would be appreciated. By the way, I have a strada so the park light bulb and main headlight buld are inside the same housing.

hehe, paano ba mag explain.

usually di naman life threatening yung mga probs nang strada.. pag me problem sa strada ko, repair agad bahala na kung mapapamura sa mahal ng service kesa magsisi ako...

Guys question po.

Normal ba na FC for GLS Sport A/T 6-7km/l city, 10-11km/l hway? Basis ko po dun sa trip computer.

Coz i got a friend that has a Montero GLS SE, sa kanya around 10km/l city
driving daw. Same engine, tranny, i think heavier pa Monty nya. So how come mas maganda FC nya. Does not compute talaga. :question:

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, do you think mitsubishi will bring here next year the 2.5 liter top of the line mitsubishi triton like that in australia with straight and longer bed. it has more power than the 3.2 we have and have a 5 speed automatic transmission with +- manual overrride?

good point doc.. maybe its just me lang din.. my previous pick-up kasi didn't generate this much noises and problems. big negative lang nga don is gas addict. hehe...
sad lang kasi mga problems i encountered di pa naayos talaga ng casa. pa balik-balik kasi eh...
anyway, appreciate your opinions mga sirs...

This is also similar to my fuel consumption. The Montero Sport will have about the same fuel consumption. Maybe your friend was looking at the computer display while he was cruising at highway. Best way to measure is to fill up fuel tank reset odometer, drive until half tank or 1/4 tank then refill on the same fuel pump of the same station, get odometer reading and divide by number of liters filled.

There might be an issue with fuel quality in this country, that engine probably requires at least Euro 4 compliant diesel.
