I'm writing in response to 'KW' who is facing problems with the often-burnt projection bulbs and hard-to-close boot lid.
I have faced these problems myself and hope that what I say will help.
1. On the first problem, please get a wireman to check the earth connection. My personal mechanic explained to me that poor earthing will cause bulb to overheat. This problem is actually quite minor, but I wonder why Proton still has not addressed it.
2. As for the boot lid being difficult to close, specifically ask for Proton Edar to arrange for their sub-contractor to rectify this problem. This is a matching problem. (I have made numerous complaints during the warranty period to no avail. Don't let their incompetent service personnel to shove and bend the lid. It was finally rectified when one of their better-trained service engineers explained the problem to me)
If not for all these niggling problems, Proton Waja would have been a great car. I have nothing good to say about their after-sales service, therefore I reserve my comments.

I just bought a brand new Proton Waja 1.6 MT (known as Impian in UK) in May 2004. The problem is the drive shaft knocking when I make turns, especially in slow movement.
