I also want to find out who is doing that in china, winbo and huadian don't have it. Also i am interted in hard top's for other models of vehicles. Do you maybe know any company which produce that?

[vitordavid]

Before i closed the deal with great wall, i was contacting other brands like zx auto, dadi. And they have the cargo cover and hard top, i dont understand why a bigger player like great wall dont have it!
Anyway where did you buy the hard top on your black wingle?

I have a GWM Deer 2005, the one and half cabin 4X2 model. I need to buy the central steering bar but the dealership doesn't have one. In the past I have bought parts form other brands that are exactly the same as GWM. For example the complete clutch assembly is the same as a Isuzu's NKR truck. I want to know if someone knows from which brand does GWM deer suspension is. Thanks in advance.

if dealer don't have any part he must to order it and deliver it to you as final customer, if he order that by DHL it will come for about 3 to 5 days,if he take it by shipp it depends it which country are you from, but all parts are always avalaible

this is also right that some od the compoment fit's to great wall vehicles, for example, oil filter from kia soretno you can put on hover without any problems, safe model have the gearbox from kia sportage, light's for deer you can buy in toyota, also some stuff's in the engine, if you want to try look for toyota hilux models 2001 year

Dear Loro.

I have the steering column in our warehouse. If you are near South America please contact me, and I can dispatch the part to your address via DHL. My e mail address is [email protected].

Best Regards.

,It is nearly all right. I was in Baoding city where GW,ZX and Xinkai located when i was a undergraduate.
GW is the biggest one as i know they export auto to many countries such as Russian,Ukraine,Cuba,South America and Africa ,etc.

The Hebai carmakers mentioned by you are totally in Baoding city which located to the south of beijing about 146KL distance. It's a middle city with good history and culture background.There are more than ten high schools in this city and sharing a good reputation in north of china.

The brands of car made in Baoding include :GREAT WALL,ZHONGXIN TIANMA,DADI,XINKAI.

I do not know how many cars were exported to Russia,but i am sure that that is our best car made by chinese people totally.

I work for a trade company deal with auto parts of mentioned brand above.

It's hard to tell but most people would prefer GW to ZX. Frankly speaking, ZX is a brand that not a lot of people know, GW isn't a house-hold name neither but it's getting better and better. My mother has a colleague who owns a GW deer for at least 5 years and he seems to be quite satisfied with this truck today although he had little trust in this brand when he was making his decision to buy it. The only thing that attracted him at the moment was its low price. However, I think GW today is doing a good job and will hopefully grow into a important competitor in the auto market. Personally I hope so.

As to ZhongXing, I don't really know much about it so I can't provide much information.

In fact, most pick-up makers in China are located in Hebei Province like GW, ZX.....I can name quite a few! As they are from the same place, more importantly as they offered at beginning almost the same makes and none of them had a reputable brand, so for a while, I just called them ''Hebei carmakers'' for short.

As one thing in common, all these manufacturers began their business with small capital and with little help from government which differ from such state owned companies as FAW and SAIC. Today, Some of them survived while most of them disppeared after 2 or 3 years's struggle in the business. Amongst all these makers, GW has got the best brand recognition and is without doubt the leader while all the others seem to have little difference to most Chinese. ZX may be better but still NOT as good as GW, that's sure!

XinKai is a very good exemple of those small ''Hebei carmakers'' on which people have little impression. I've just heard about it maybe once so I was quite surprised to learn it was exporting vehicles to Russia while I wasn's surprised at all that the Russian importer stopped the contract because of its poor quality. All these ''Hebei carmakers'' eager to export their cars coz they are trying all possibilities to survive in the competition. On the other hand, only such competition could make a company strong, that's also why I think GW has a big potentiel to succeed.

Nice to meet you Vladimir! I'm very glad to share my opinions of Chinese cars with you. You know I was so so surprised when I happened to see a Chinese car last time when I was in Sheremetyevo.

I live in Shanghai, but have followed the markets here. Though I really liked GReat Wall products, I would never buy any for the simple reason that the engines on the old models Sing, SaFe and others are so under powered, yet extremely thirsty and requires repairs constantly.

I have yet to try the Hoover as there are so many better models available.

I live in a small island in west africa, I already sold in here many cars new and used. Diahatsu, Ssangyong, Seat, Daewoo.
For a long time i was thinking in importing directly from China cars to here.
Many brands and models passed by my head: ZX, Xinkai, Dadi, Chery, GWM...
Based in many information, direct contact with factories, insiders information, internet and specialy this forum. A special thank to Juan from Costa Rica and Nico. All your helpfull information was very important to me.
I will buy one Hover diesel super Luxury 4x4 for my wife and 2 more models to sell localy. I still dont know what to buy a Wingle a Sing or another Hover.
The only thing i know is that i will buy them diesel, because the petrol costs almost 2 dollars per liter and the disel costs 1,10 usd.
All of you GWM owners you have any advice for me? special request for the factory, some common spare part to order in advance?

Many thanks

The Sing and Safe are out dated copies and more than a half dozen manufactures offer simular looking trucks all with same running gears and engine. A very thirsty little engine that needs breath hard to push such a heavy truck.

[micodelija]

you can fix that with chip tuning, car goes simply better and have 20 ps more, safe is also avalaible with mitsubishi 4g64 engine
