  1. Hi, I need to fix a new DVD player to my Axio. I would like it to be a multipurpose device with following attributes. DVD, Audio player Navigation (built in or via phone) GPS (built in or via phone) Bluetooth connection (basically to connect mobile) Better sound quality I did some search in the market and found following information There are Pioneer and Kenwood players with phone mirror capability. But GPS function has to be obtained by using an additional gadget which cost around Rs. 25k. Non branded Android players with all the required functionalities, but not sure about the quality. Could someone help me in getting more information. Are there Android players from the popular brands? Thanks in advance.
  2. Hello, I need to get repaired the head lights of my car. I checked for a solution in this forum but could not find the exact thing what I'm looking for. Even though I found many posts regarding the head lights cleaning, what I need to get done is to repair the head lights. The reason is after running in rain I can see the vapor / water drops at the inner surface of the headlight cover. Could someone recommend me a better place to get this repaired. Vehicle : Honda Civic ES8 Facelift model. Sorry if I'm re-posting something which had already being discussed here. If so, please direct me to that post Thanks
  3. I'm not aware of the technical points to say how the navigation systems of your Civic RS can be configured. But, the Sri Lanka map is available in Garmin. There is a Garmin office in Sri Lanka where we can purchase that map. Last year, I purchased a Gamin navigator from eBay. Before placing the order I checked with that Garmin office in SL and they confirmed that they can update any Gramin navigator with SL map. After I received the gadget from eBay, I got it updated with SL map for less then Rs. 4k. https://www.facebook.com/GarminLanka/
  4. Hi Thanks for the reply. Actually I changed the ATF during last July just after purchasing the car and I still drove about 5000 km after that. At the same time replaced all 4 plugs with genuine plugs and cleaned the throttle body as well. The engine idling keeps around 800 - 900 rpm with AC now without any variation. Do I have to worry with this situation regarding the gear shifting concern I have OR is it a normal situation?
  5. Hi All, I have a concern with the gear changing in my car which I bought few months ago. Model : Civic ES8 Model : 2005 - Face lift When driving it's RPM always reach 3000+ before changing to the next gear. Anyway it does not incur any jerk. But I wonder whether this is a situation which needs to pay attention because as per my experience the gear shift happens in 2000 - 2500 rmp in many cars. Appreciate your opinion on this. Many thanks

    Tyre Prices

    Finally I selected Continental and fixed those on yesterday (all 4 tyres). Those looks good with a comfortable drive and low noise. Anyway still too early to comment more on those. But one of my friends selected the same for his Axio few months back and he is very happy with those tyres. Just thought to post my two cents here since it may be helpful for someone who is searching to select a better one among few good brands available.

    Tyre Prices

    Hi All, I need to replace the tyres of my Honda Civic ES8 (2004). The tyre size is 185x60x15. With some market search, here are the options I'm considering at the moment. Continental - Made in Malaysia - Rs. 14500/= Dunlop - Made in Japan - Rs. 16500/= Michelin - Made in UK - Did not get the exact price yet, According to D*MO it would be around 19k Kumho - Made in Korea or Vietnam - Rs. 16800/= Pirelli - Can't remember the country exactly, may be Turkey - Rs. 20000/= (think too much?) Would like to know your ideas considering the performance and price. I do not like the tyres which generate higher noise. Comfortable and performance (and obviously the safety ) are the main concerns. One of my friend and also a tyre shop highly recommended the Continental (Malaysia). Any idea please.

    Rav 4

    Thanks for your responses. With that information I feel that I should rethink whether I should go for a RAV 4 or a car since it is not an actual SUV.

    Rav 4

    I believe there is no wrong in doing a new post regarding RAV 4 because of there were no recent posts for that model. I just wanted to have a comparison by considering the factors like reliability / performance and price. Due to the market conditions in these days most of the common vehicle models are over priced. But it looks like the models like RAV has not been impacted that much. Anyway I prefer to get to know the current market condition with my search.
  12. Thanks DVT and Bubi. I agree with both of you. The major point I considered the Sylphy is because of it's interior quality and the price. At the same time FB 15 new shell is also a good car even though it's interior quality is not that much attractive like Sylphy's. Anyway the FB 15 has a better market in SL. The problem is due to the inflated market condition during there days, it looks like most of the FB 15 s advertised look over priced.
  13. Hi, I'm also in your boat. But it looks like a good 121 or vios would not coming within that budget....

Is is a reliable vehicle Is the price for YOM 2000 auto vehicle of that model is around 25 lacks How about the fuel consumption when transmission is auto Pros and cons in 1.8 l engine and 2 l engine Any better vehicle I can consider for that price range (below 25 lacks) ?
