Replace the timing belt of the engine, it should cost you around 600~1000 QR including labour.

Perhaps the easiest way would be to go to the Mitsubishi dealer and have a full check carried out.

@brit i have a 07 mitsu lancer,i dont really need to hire A specialist on my car, just dont wanna go into engine trouble or any malfunction in the near future,specially now that super summer is coming, dont wanna be stranded with 50deg cel, on top me,, hehe

@WK-its no surprise about your message,i think everybody see that comin' already, anyways i couldnt hardly find a cliff here i definitely dont wanna go to dukhan to just throw it there,ill probably be dead because of speedy LC's before i get there.LOL

i cant ignore the mileage that would be irresponsible and would probably cause me an accident or worse death,,

@coupe- i dont know bout ur message but i felt like there was pun intended to it.. LOL

cars are made better these days, they even give a lifetime warranty.

worry about repairs later when its broken, it might save your heart

It would help if we knew what type of car you had..

Due to its uprated engine, my pink KIA is serviced by a specialist who flies in when required.
