This is really a use full information, specially a man can visit our home to do Carb job. Why can't some Mods move this post to the 'Popular Garages in Sri Lanka' thread so all the valuable info will be on one thread for easy access.

It will be better if you can clean the throttle body and injectors manually and an engine tune up as well. There are so many recognized places do good job.

Rented a Carens few years back for a month and drove to lot of places out of Colombo including Trincomalee. I didn't workout the fuel consumption and also I can't tell you about the reliability as I used it only for a month. What I can guarantee is the best comfort. Its really a comfortable vehicle. Also spares are widely available.

I know this is out of your area but just for the info there is a man called Carb Banda on the Prince of Wales Avenue near the Sugathadasa Stadium at Colombo 14. He is quiet famous as well.

Do you mean disconnecting the battery terminals and leave it over night? I don't think this will reset the ECU for all the cars. But still you can try it as there is no harm trying this.

From the given 3 choices I will pick the FB15 any day if it's for a normal day to day family use as I have been using a 1999 FB15 for 3 years and really happy about it. Just do a search on AL forums and you will find many topics about this. BTW Welcome to Autolanka mate!!

By the way as I am the topic opener I must say my review on Kaspersky. It rocks. No complain so far. Strongly recommended.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I couldn't get a better picture as I was behind the glass wall and also there were some designs on the glass. Any way I was happy about travelling on a same plane with Mr.Veyron but couldn't get a chance of seeing him inside the plane...lol..

Love to join. Voted 'No' as I will only be in sl on the 1st of September. Have fun guys.

I am sorry for opening up a new thread for this guys but I can't resist. I had a transit at Dubai airport on the 18th on my way to London from Colombo and I was on Emirates. Saw this lovely moment and also the car is being loaded on the same flight which I was on to London from Dubai.

Better late than never...... And the price of this is 36 Million. Damn cheap I guess!!!

Can be done but still you will need few liters more than the actual quantity of fluid which you need for your AT box as you are using the machine.

I feel the same too. I love the 407s but this 4007 looks ugly to me.

Thats what I meant before. I will never ever go for a third party insurance policy.

The only way to clean the filter is by removing the sump machan.

I thought Caltex is the manufacturer of Lanka Super 40 as well!!

Really 8 liters machan. I was there near the machine and also looking at the ATF changing machine's display and when the transferring process finished 7.9 liters of new oil had gone. Also the guy told me it will take about 8 liters before he started the job. And I changed manually to a Toyota Hiace (by removing th sump and cleaned the filter) it took me only 4 liters.

You are correct machan. There must be reason. I am a happy customer with Jana and also this is the first complaint I am seeing about getting a claim from Jana. Even there are some insurance related threads in AL and few complaints about some insurance companies and none of them about Jana. Friend of mine got a claim of Rs350,000 recently from Jana and the procedure was so easy as well.

As you are using the cheaper mono grade oil why can't you try Mobil Super XHP 15W-40 multi grade Mineral oil? As far as I know there is no complaints about it.

Simply I don't want to take that risk machan. There is a policy called Third Party with Fire & Theft in some developed countries and as far as I know we don't have that here.

Yep.I bought from Browns for Rs7200 last year. 5k is cheap. Where is the place machan?

I agree 100% with your statement as I have paid almost 200,000 as insurance premium to my current car and never claimed a penny. But what will you do if your vehicle was stolen? robbed? or fully damaged in a terrorist attack (ie: a suiside attack or something on the road) or a tsunami kinda thing? Thats what I always concern as If I am with third party and any of the above happened to my car, I will loose the whole thing. And I will have to start saving to buy another car and that will take a good 10 years as of our country's 'cheaper car prices'.

Simply, go for a Normal Exide battery machan. You can get it from Browns (they are the agents) with one year warrenty.

Most of the people do it this way as only a few knows about ATF changing machines. Even I did it last month to a Toyota Hiace by removing the sump and clean the filter. The advantage of this way is you can clean the filter. But you can only remove about 60-70% oil and the rest of bad oil will remain inside. Using the machine is good as it will replace 100% with new oil but can't clean the filter. I did ATF change to my FB15 using machine at pitstop and it took 8 litres of ATF.

A bit thicker mineral oil would be fine. Better option 20w-50.
