Batteries

Drive carefully. I saw a sign saying road is getting smaller ahead. Near Kathuduwa overhead bridge.

Marketing gimmick. As the new highway speed limit is 100-120.I saw their buses advertized as can achieve speed up to 110Km/h

I don’t know how safe the Martui are in SL. About 4 years ago I saw an accident between maruti 800 & a Skoda Sedan. First car I saw was the maruti It front bumper was on the ground the Frond side windows were gone (both the driver & the passenger) & the driver was inside trying to fix some plastic (I’m not joking here). I was thinking man this is must be bad accident then I saw the Skoda it only had a scratch on the front bumper. So I don’t think Maruti is great. They have long way to go still. I think Alto is better car compare to 800 but he is looking for a car for a Mil

Get in to all these cars you talk about.( Kia Rio, Hyundai Accent/Sonata/Elantra,Suzuki Maruti/Alto) & see what you like most. Their build quality & comfort. I think you will get answer to your question. In my option you should first get in to a Maruti & feel the difference from others.

Yes correct ECU.I was saying this because I had the same issues & after so called experts in our Auto industry(bas guys) & so many parts replaced with 70K less in my pocket I still did not have the resolution to the problem. With their solution it worked fine for 2-3 days. I travel daily to work. So this was a big problem for me. After that I took it to La*. He did the check up & replaced the ECU.All fine after that worked as before with no issues. As I learn take it to a known expert to find the real issue other than so called experts.

I don’t know if it is the same issue. I had the same problem. After replacing the control unit car was working fine. Better to check you Control Unit as well. This can happen due to that also.

I can remember Top Gear doing an episode about this.60-0 for cars to Jeeps available at that time.

Honda is hard to sell if you are not in western province. Friend I knew had hard time selling Honda. Soon as it was in Colombo it was gone.

Guys he asking for 1-1.2 Mil.So Kelsia is out of his range. Best advice given so far I think according to his requirement.

If you want it done go to C**** Park. I have been going there for last 3 years. No Issues so far.

I think this is one of my managers. He said he does about 20KML.But he drives fast not slow.

I think this is the case for all Cars. One of friends got a car down from Japan. His father worked on the port. When it came to Port it was 80000+ but when it was sold it was 20000+.

Can you sell 2nd Gen Prius? Isn’t it to old?

Yes.i have encountered it 174 route. May be there trying out how far they can go….

This why I have seen Prius guys are driving very slowly in clear roads. I have seen this when going home at night going at snail phase.

If he borrowed it then that would have the last you would have see it.

This is why you don’t have your child in the front seat if you have air bags. Even he is wearing a seat belt. The speed that the air bag gets deployed it can kill the child. I think this has happen a lot in US.

Agree. No DUI driving.

I had the same problem. When down to Toyota lanka. They said engine is fine. But required to change the sensor. I think a sense is 16K.They don’t do any clearing or repairing one to one change. Does anybody know a place that do the same job other than Toyota lanka? It will be a great help.

Actually my battery when all most dead due to my alternative going a bust. I come a about 25KM home to office. So after replacing my alternator I did 3 trips up & down to get my battery fully charged. These 3 was done without AC & Radio. Mind you my batter is about 6 months old. (Best E***E has) But even the batter was charge was very low & alternator was not working I did not have any issues starting the car when I was taking it to the garage to get my alternator fixed.

Yes. But the government is planning to increase the petrol bill from first week off April. All the statue papers were saying this last week.So don't get your hopes up.

Want to know why you are leasing vehicle’s it cheaper to take vehicle loan. I was under the impression that loans were cheaper than leasing. N*B has Auto loan. There rates seem to be better than other & it’s fixed.
