Stop-start system is more widely used by car manufacturers on their latest products lately. In fact, two-wheeled vehicles also began to follow-up. For example, Honda PCX. Only, with a different name (idling-stop).

Nevertheless, the diesel engine, the system is not very much utilized. Parties, to restart (turn back) machine, it takes more power than gasoline. This could cause the battery is overdrawn. Or, if you want to use large-capacity battery, will add weight.

“E-booster”
Car manufacturers which states have succeeded in using the stop-start on diesel engines is the PSA Peugeot Citroën of France. They use ultra capacitor to store electrical energy, which helps the battery start the engine while shorthanded. Therefore, by the PSA system called e-booster.

In addition to its main task as a stop-start system is activated, when a car slid on a jammed city streets or a lot of red lights, e-booster can also help turn on the engine when cold (early morning).

In stop-start system-PSA diesel engine called the e-HDi-motor is used which also functions as a starter alternator (integrated starter and alternator). Valeo starter-alternator that generates artificial 2.2 kW. Equipped with electronic power system (inverter).

Explained, the PSA will use the i-phase feature in the first-in 1.4-liter diesel engine and 1.6 liters. Machines are also improved, among other turbocharger lubrication system, increasing the pressure injection pump, crankshaft bearings, flywheel and strengthened with two weights.

There’s also the alternator voltage control that produces regenerative charging to the battery when the driver lifted his foot from the accelerator pedal (deceleration). PSA Ultrakapasitor used this capability Farad/5V 600 works, which derive energy from the car electrical system.

Actually, the e-booster also functions as a support of the electrical system. By using this system, for the 2.0-liter diesel engine, no need to use a 100 Ah battery and of course will reduce the weight of the vehicle. In fact, can also be used to drive the power steering when the engine died.

If you are superrich, a quote from Kurt Strand, a boat manufacturer in Sweden, is of course very interesting. Buy a superyacht, also called the “Bond” yacht, because its shape is very futuristic and aerodiamis supercar will get one free. Therefore, the total money must be spent for a yacht that is named Strand Craft 122 is 25 million U.S. dollars, or USD 225 billion.

‘Very fit for James Bond, “Strand said Kraft, founder Kurt Strand, about this yacht. Supercar offered the same color with his yacht, which is metallic. So if both are juxtaposed, very harmonious.

Yacht designer named Strand Craft 122 is a 33-year-old young man who was born in the United States and lived in Sweden, but British citizens, namely Eduard Gray. About yachts and cars, according to Gray, was inspired by the lines and grooves Ferrari Testarossa.

38 meters long yacht with interior was designed with the concept of Art Deco and can be made in accordance with the tastes of order. There are four large rooms, including for the reception and salon, as well as fun for the crew cabin. Understandably, LED 52-inch television equipped with a sound system from Bang & Olufsen in all rooms.

Bonus supercar, assembled by hand, V12 engine, twin turbo, 880 PS and generates power. Capability up to 375 km was encouraged. Amazingly, if you want to slide into the sea, supercars do not need to be left on the beach. Can be inserted into the yacht, which provides a special garage for cars. So, anchored anywhere, can be directly used car.

This superfast Yacht 14 000 PS and able reach generates fast speeds of more than 50 knots or 100 km / hr. All were obtained by using the MTU Series 4000 diesel engines and two Rolls Royce jet.

Although as yet know when it will be produced, if there are potential buyers interested, the Strand is ready to meet. Ascertained, yachts and cars can be sent before 2013.

Nobody road no jammed in big cities. When being driving, faces such conditions, certainly very tormented because no air Conditioning (AC).

Until AC not functioned can because negligence owners performs maintenance. Can also age disposable component or height frequency usage. More heaved anymore, Owner car much layman about AC. So when problematic happen, they generally don’t understand how to over come it.

Below few sign happens on AC car

Less cold
Trigger come from compressor. Magnets clutch already deterioration or bobbin magnet exist severed. Consequently, employment compressor drain freon hampered.

Other causes, exist leaks at evaporator caused freon wasted. Suggestion Chandra, must replace new if welded only resistant briefly.

Odour dreadful
Cause, condition interiors dirty consequence habits passengers bring food. Aroma pigswill could glue in seats, trim door or carpet. smoking habits participate has a share donate aroma not tasty.

Beep strange when switched
Origin sound usually from compressor problematic. Still according Chandra, bearing within compressor already deterioration or rupture make employment compressor be eliminated. To several brands car, position component exists in drawer dashboard. If drawer full with book or objects lightweight then sucked, directly raises sound.

Freon frequently less
Condition because exist leaks at hose or evaporator, so freon wasted. “Generally freon reduced after usage above 2 years,” firmly Chandra. Fare for drain and contents freon between Rp100-Rp200 thousand. Better, do checking and clean compressor every 2000-5000 kms.

Nissan launches new compact crossover, the All-New Juke 15 RX in Japan today. This vehicle will be marketed globally. Means the possibility of coming to Indonesia!

In Japan, Juke RX 15, in accordance with a capacity of 1.5 liter engine used, valued in attractive enough price.

When you have something as sensational as the Range Rover Sport, even incremental improvements from one model year to another can be a real challenge. A single misstep can bring its success to an end. But for now, improvements on the 2009 Range Rover are sure to bring the 2010 model to a higher performance level. You can find out about the latest Range Rover cars at McDonald Land Rover.

People who bought last year’s model might get a tingle of regret but those who saved up for it today will find the 2010 Range Rover Sport a better animal and a more expensive one besides. Its price tag for the basic model starts at $73,200 MSRP. The supercharged model we tested can be had for just $87,400. You can find cheap Range Rover Sport accessories at McDonald Land Rover.

More Power

The new Range Rover Sport gets a more powerful engine for 2010. It’s really more of a variant than anything radical. It still gets a 5 liter DOHC V8 supercharged with 510 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 461 lb-ft torque or 375 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 367 lb-ft of torque normally aspirated. This figure is an improvement over last year’s performance of 400 hp for its supercharged version.

You can safely forget about fuel efficiency. The supercharged variant has the same 18.4 liters/km on city traffic and 11.2 liters/km on the highway. But that’s no problem. People who can afford to shell out $87,400 have more important things in mind than to bother about fuel economy. But even so, the new engines do get slightly more efficient that its precursors. You can also look for affordable Range Rover Sport repairs at McDonald Land Rover.

Better Styling

You get a new front grill for 2010. It also has better looking and more efficient headlights and taillight configuration using LED lighting technology. The exterior also gets new bumpers and air intake designs but the more cosmetic meat goes inside.

The most obvious cosmetics changes are inside but they are also functionally better. The dashboard gets a cleaner instrumentation dominated by a 12-inch Touchscreen LCD that gets all the gauges and controls at your fingertips removing the clutter of its preceding model’s dashboard layout.

Its entertainment to the max inside with a 20 watt 14-speakers Harman-Kardon audio system while getting all the electronics you need for managing the vehicle inside and out.

You get the same style, substance and elegant profile romping off-road to the woodlands as you would on the city jungles. Thanks to its all wheel drive and off-road superlatives with its Terrain Response electronics, the Range Rover is one engineering marvel that can take any path, including those less traveled or not traveled at all.

Along the way, you only get pampered with its sybaritic appointments; you also get the oohs and aahs of onlookers on the road. That has got to be priceless.

The Range Rover Sport may not be the best out there. It comes close to the BMW X5-M that is considered the world’s fastest SUV. But second best is still one of the best and the Range Rover is really more about comfort and style on and off the road.
