Hi, Is it worth buying a used Japanes car DVD (double din) player for a Corolla 121? Please let me know good/ reiable places in Colombo and about such price range. New chinese players are in 40k range and Japanese players are above 60 range, please help. Thanks

I think atleast five lacks. Shell, Steering wheel, Dashboard, The size of entire car, rear lights are more modern and the new car is bigger and more attractive.

Seems like less replies for 121 x and g differences, by the way how to identify the vehicles month of manufacture apart from the year of manufacture.

In X grade 121s there are 4 speakers for 4 doors

Thanks for all the replies. I think there are X with teak and G without teak ( have seen if not mistaken). Apart from such differences there can be more. X usually have manual airconditioning. Some told X doesnot have a light inside the dickey. Your ideas please.

If anyone could describe me the various differences in Corolla 121 X and G grades, I would be grateful. Thanks

Hi, My first car was FB15 2000 model which I used for 4 years. My father has an FB.. which he uses for 4 years. My Brother inlaw has N16. Now I use a Carina AT212 Ti Myroad 99 model for 3 years. I use cars very carefully and sparingly, and maintain them very well as the need arises. FB is a good car, can get a better fuel figure. But shocks, CV Joint, Ball Joints, Tie Rods, Lower arm bush... repairs should be expected frequently. Same is true with N16(heard). But FBs are more popular than N16, and have higher market. FB is better in interior. Further I had Alternator troubles and trouble in the coils which comes separately for every spark plug and had to replace one of them(Rs 10,000). Several battery replacements too. Carinas are robust in every way. No such repairs for me so far. I had a CV joint boot torn recently, though I have ridden unknown for some time, no CV joint trouble and the boot is Rs.1200 (non genuine) The battery is lasting and still good. Very solid body frame but heavy. Ample space inside and the ride is comparatively comfy. Engine is relatively simple, easier and good space for repair work according to technicians. Interiors especially when teak is very attractive, and the interior is also very robust. My Ti MyRoad does 10km/l (in relatively heavy traffic)and 14 km/l in city and outstation. I had my one doing only 6-7km/l when I bought it. But there are things that you should look for apart from tuning. Then you can improve it( would like to help anybody). Pulling power is very good. (I have not driven an SI My Road)(May not be as same as same class Honda/ My sister had a Jazz-Fit). I have seen carinas throughout. But most of them have very poor interior. But there are ones which has the looks of unregistered ones and very attractive outside as well. These are expensive. Buying a Carina really is an investment. (Though I am planning to switch to Honda) This is a very surface level explanation. But I can go into detail on aspects of Carina. Thanks

Hi Guys, If you have a look at this Japanese site, you will see the Ti MyRoad Carinas are the most expensive in Japan. What is the situation here in Sri Lanka. your comments please. http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan...carina/3452607/ Thanks

Thanks, I wonder whether this guy still work there, I'll check and let no.

Hi, I felt a smoke in the driver side control panel of power shutters on the controller for left, front window, one day. Now that side is not working from the driver side controller. But works from that left front window controller. Can anyone of you name a good place for such power shutter electrical repair. Thanks

Hi, Sorry, I dont have factory fitted keyless entry. But was trying for a manual for a long time. If you find please notify. Would like to share details too. Thanks

I had a copper tank done for my AT212 Carina, though the core was Aluminium, 2 years ago from Rad Hou, Peliyagoda.Cost only Rs. 6000. No issues so far.

Thanks Ruslan, I will check and let you know.

Seems like no one can answer my query!

thanks chana, but mine won't remember, it returns to a particular setting which now has become the default. Any idea?
