Yesterday I went tyre shop to get new alloys and tyre set to my alto. However one nut of front wheel refused to loosen and wheel stud broken when tries to loose nut using a long wench. After that ,installed new wheels and drived to a garage with only 3 wheel nuts to install new stud and when removing wheel, another nut also stucked and stud broken when removing wheel. Installed two studs and now everything is fine. I'm wondering what caused to wheel nut to stuck and how to prevent it happening again.

Hi all, Finally decided to get set of alloys and new set of tyres to my alto. Stock indian tyers done 32K km and very little amount of tread remaining. Original tyers are 145/80R12 and 12" 4B rims. Got quote of 24K for http://www.alloywheels.lk/index.php?option=com_jshopping&controller=product&task=view&category_id=8&product_id=33&Itemid=103 and 165/70R12 dunlop for 7.2K each. Had to increase tyre width because 145 tyre is too small for 5" width alloy wheels. Also there are chinese wheels available for around 17K and chinese tyre brand called federal for 5.75K each. Does additional cost of getting branded wheels and dunlops is worth or is it ok to stick to chinese things? Thanks, Miyuru

Does anyone know a place that I can buy jack stands.

Looks like new traffic plan has increased traffic from Thimbirigasyaya to Kirulapona during evening rush hours.

Got it down form US http://reviews.walmart.com/1336/11070020/reviews.htm For 28$ it does a great job. Already saved me from 2 speeding tickets. So device almost payed back the cost of it

Finally got a cobra radar detector ! Sometimes it detects speed gun even before 1km . So I'm very happy about it. BTW can cop charge me for using a radar detector? because he can see it sticked on the windshield.

Problem with the speed limits in SL is there is a single limit for all type of vehicles except tractors and 3wheelers. But in real world 80km\h is not a high speed for a modern car while it is very high for a lorry or bus. AFIK most of fatal accidents caused by heavy vehicles and not by cars. Law makers are still in the 80s mind set where they consider 60km/h is a rocket speed ( thats way we have trams "hetata hete yanawa")

Can you remember the name of the shop? Better to give a try

I got a Rs7500 quote for Blaupunkt GTx 693 speaker pair from Ad#####d car audio. Is it a reasonable price? and do they sell genuine speakers or duplicates?

OMG I just checked the CITY price in India. It's around 800,000 INR that equal to 2million LKR.

Check Engine Light means there is a problem with your EFI system, like sensor problem. For these kind of issues, best place is agents because they have scan tools that can connect to OBD port of car to diagnose the problem.

Those fuel savers are nothing other than jimmiks. IF it is possible to save fuel by such a simple technologies, why automotive makers spent billions of dollar to do research about fuel efficient vehicles. Same goes for water powered cars. Even O/L pass student can understand it.
