Many thanks guys for sharing your input !!!
Thanks for giving me extra info on top of my qns .... well, sending my car so service ctr periodically for regular maintenance .... such as after 1000km etc is well understood ... me only concern is to learn my own basic pre-drive check not necessarily only for long distance ride .... such as own simple "troubleshooting" can be done if i encounter small little problems instead of having to rely on towing or svc ctr to repair ....
One of you mention that is a thread very informative on this by nick ... how do i get there ?? what's the link ??
Also .. can i clarify .... car towing, car servicing is best to call C&C for repair or towing service (if there's such) or go thru my insurance and get their assistance ???
Also on top of that, how will AAs be even more beneficial to me ?? like there's a course for me to attend or yet another service to get from them when my car breakdown??
for starting i can drive only at around 80km???? ahhw ... that's sad .. i was thinking of going higher than that ...

neway, i'll try and heed as many advice as possible ....
Do share more lancer inside stuffs if u have .. Hope to hear from many more of u ....
Take care !!!!!
