There was a change in Wiring and data format between 2004 to 2006 with the introduction of Trip computer. Beware of this, since 2006 set would not fit on 2004 Mazda 3 (even Axela) though outer appearances are same. This is only for Stock Set.

There are several reasons contribute to this, 1. Wiring problem (poor connections in middle connectors/ dirty connectors etc) 2. Solenoid issue ( mostly mechanical linkages associated,armature bush wear) 3. Motor issue ( dirty commutator/motor & wear in the brushes) 4. Ignition/starter switch problem (low ohm resistance instead of near zero at Start position) All above conditions provide not enough current being produced to the Solenoid for real operation. The Isolation of the problem cause may be difficult. For example, if 1 or 4 persist , replacing of whole motor with the solenoid does not help.

Since it is a Ford, ask Asiri Motors (011-2543355) & New Rainbow (011-2389589) in Panchikawatta. They may have the gasket.

Yes, this car is more prone to sludge formation with particular engine oil. Many VVT engined Toyotas produced around years 2001-2005 had this problem.

Verada is an Australian variant produced by Mitsubishi Motors in Australia. Had larger Engines probably V6. Now out of production since 2005. Very rich person's choice !.

No, Vezels for Palath Saba Politicos, ( when elected for first time Hal-massa, then Bada Mahatha Pingona.) Mercs & BMWs for Diyawannawa Caliber, . But should have 4WD. where to go ?. Luxury car manufactures produce 4WDs on special order. With that cost, it will reach to 45 million. That is why these cars are very expensive. Somebody said that in Sweden , PM goes to Parliament in a public Metro Train. Same person said that Metro has many wheels more than 4 wheels.

Yes, As people say there is a motive of the Govenment for this increase. That motive is to raise funds from people for their new cycle of vehicle fleet for parliamentarians. That is why they introduced least increases for Merc & BMW. Now people who voted for them ( including Consolidated joint opposition) recommend them to purchase Honda Vezel. It has good Ground clearance too Honda is willing to introduce Bullet Proof kits for it's Vezels specially for Sri Lanka. Good people's vehicle for country's economy minded persons. Why Mercs/BMW7/Prado for them?. Get Honda Vezel

These figures are pseudo without a proper technical evaluation, signs that the government goes to 1970-77 era again. Reminds Onion & Chili without spices . The Government is killing dogs to seek money,only on consumable and expenses of people without Dhal and sprats as it says. What are the step taken by Inland revenue to increase revenue from Sharks?. Nothing!. Why Mazda has became the most luxurious Car in Sri Lanka than Benz & BMW ? . That is why new formula is called Pseudo without proper evaluation. Decisions by Finance only people make more harm to a country and for organizations. They neglect other realities and ideas by other professionals. Only ascertain facts in terms of money only. Once a Finance pundit said that a person can live on income of Rs: 2500/- a whole month. He later confirmed, that sons an daughters of the family he said, can eat from University canteen at a subsidiary rate. This person still talking Bana for stupid people. We personally know that how he handles his family for more than few 100 thousands of monthly expenses!. Other Finance only guys are same like, country suffers. In this case. Only figures that the Government dreams. Where are the income taxes? Successive governments have failed to boost a railway services and Metros. As a result more vehicle sales in Sri Lanka. Now the priorities are to collect money from vehicle sales. Why more taxes on Hybrids and certain makes. A conspiracy to obtain Mercedes and BMW for Politicians ??. If have money do not buy Mazda or Toyota. Get a Mercedes.! Hurry, Use the avenue opened for Politicians . It is Cheap and bring less money for the Government. Still Sri Lankan Government has no clear policy on Vehicle imports. Also no clear policies for transportation. Why they give tax concession on Dhal & Sprats. It is not Saradial Policy as once RW stated. Only for their stability. For poor people Indian Cars without any safety features. For more poor people Sparts & Dhal. Eat! For Income Tax crooks nothing ! - Sorry , Panama is there. A People's Government of a Socialist Republic state.

Even at high speed on acceleration and at load (say more than 50 Km/h and climbing a small hill) you don't hear knocking/pinging sound?. If Yes, this could be the most common symptom of malfunctioning the Knock Sensor. With respect to others ideas, you must check TPS , cleanliness of the Throttle Body and engine oil deposits etc

Slight deviation of boiling point does not provide any remarkable difference in family/street cars. High boiling point meant for vehicles in racing tracks probably fully synesthetic or synthetic blend. Moisture absorbed in the Brake fluid further reduces the boiling point with usage time, must be replaced with new fluid. Used Fluid colour appearance in the reservoir says a hint to replace. Seik *n Brake fluid was not popular in Sri Lanka was available in few decades ago.

Yes , you can do a physical inspection as you suggested. The internal structure damages sometimes not visible at early stages. Refer below link for reference. You may get an idea. http://www.euroratas.lt/galery/_euroratas/kita/naudinga_informacija/radial_tire_conditins_analysis_guide.pdf

You must take special vigilance about the tire. Even tough it is normal in performance/appearance the internal structure may be damaged since the stroke was sufficient to bend the rim. This can cause a tire burst at high speed in Highways leads to fatal.

Good quality German Water Hoses are available at Hunters shop , Darley Road (T.B.Jaya Mw).

This is not a recommended method on Brakes to apply adhesives. To be repaired in first principles. Replace the Reservoir or Master Cylinder or Any packing or the Whole unit related to this.

This model of Mazda3 has very thin paint layer according to the web sources, So tiny scratches may lead to corrosion formation in snowy countries which uses salt to dissolve ice.In our country no issue reported however it is a part of the owner to protect the car by keeping in cleanly manner,

It shows FOB Values of Toyota Allion and Premio are well below than Mazda Axela. That means Allion and Premio are over priced by Car Sale vendors??. or other mean of Tax formula not depends on FOB +++. I think these are the Brand new car prices of JDMs for Japanese market which Sri Lankan Customs interprets for valuations purposes.

You filled recommended oil for this Toyota ?. or used any common auto transmission oil available. There are many variants !

A Government here cannot increase the FOB values. It is the work of car dealers in Japan & manufacturers. However government here get the yield of Tax due to the increase in FOB.

The Car owner is in fear to mention the name of the Insurance company. Others are in danger!. Yes, U Axxx has a history of this type. However Pxxxni should confirm as he published this matter. Knowing Information is a Human-right !.

USD has appreciated against Euro from 0.75 to 0.90 Euro for 1.0 USD. SL cannot control USD !. Not the New or Old Governments..... How about the vehicle prices 2005 vs 2014. Auto manufacturers have also increased the prices in the recent history. Nobody talks about it.

Mazda BF3P mostly came as Familia Hatchback and most of the Sedan in BF5P & 323 form with 1.5L engine. Averagely a good car in terms of good suspension,fuel economy, stylish & comfort. There were many variants of hatchbacks available . Since these cars are now more than 25 years old, parts are quite difficult to find .However some are available in after market/ non genuine types. The prices may vary 5K to 6.5k depending on the condition of the vehicle.

Sri Lanka Police always omit/neglect Public/Private Buses from their statements and also from actions, since it is the route-cause of the deadly accidents. We know why ?. It is not a Polic..!! Most of the countries, these are the most slow runners in the town. As example in Singapore in public areas , buses run at less than 30Km/h. Again we need Bus drivers should be qualified at least with good A-Levels, like in next parliament members in Sri Lanka which is due. Sri Lanka Police have no vision in this regard. That is why Police allowed maximum limit for buses as in other small vehicles.(70 Km/h , 50Km/h etc),

See the Dashboard's Check engine light lit. If so the Knock Sensor ?. If not Engine mount !

Have you tried Carma*t ?.

It collects mud underneath. Familiar application in old type service stations. Keep coated under-body clean & dry.
