personally i would prefer the pajero as a friend of mine has one in mint condition and it has not given any problems. it is also more comfortable than the trooper. however if you are looking for a vehicle for yourself i would recommend a diesel hi lux single cab it the same cost or if money is no option a used 166.... for a little more $$$

Air Filter box Air flow sensor Door Handle Long story, Im currently using a K&N cone filter but it doesnt seem to be working out as that has caused the MAF sensor to pack up so I want to replace everything before it does damage to the engine. ------------------------------------------- Noted AMG will try them.

Hey Guys, Was wondering what the cheapest mode of freight (and the name of the forwarder) to bring down a few small car parts from the UK is? The value of the car parts is about 60 quid. Thanks

Hi guys, I was just wondering if any of you have come across this before. I have a 320i 92 model and every now and then (especially when the a/c is on) the rev counter begins to hunt... ie from 1000rpm to 2000 and back to 1000. it keeps happening quite frequently. I thought the issue would be the airflow sensor and I replaced it. The car peforms much better but the problem hasnt stopped. Does anyone have an idea as to what this could be? Right now Im thinking a hose leak/loose hose from one of the hoses going into the engine letting in extra air??? Any help would be appreciated...

Awesome wheels, I agree with DON, try to get the original CD changer for the car. The only thing is it will set you back a couple of hundred Euros at least. They wanted 600 for the CD changer in my BM.

Hey, Dont know if Im allowed to post this, If Im not, mods, please delete. Just wanted to know what the best leasing package or vehicle loan is currently in SL? Anyone have any ideas? Cheers

I saw 2 for sale last week advertised on the office intranet..... they wanted 1,435 and 1.5 mil respectively. Both would have given for 1.4 tho. both were 99, 1 liter Vitz's.

Further to some of the points raised in this thread, the following article was in todays (15th May) Daily News and the author raises quite a few valied points as most/all of you in this thread have done as well. http://www.dailynews.lk/2007/05/15/fea01.asp Unfortunately however, the people that are being appointed to positions that can do something about this mess are corrupt, stupid and just lack basic common sense in order to do anything. This seems to be the legacy of Sri Lankan Politics.

I saw an opel astra advertised somewhere recently (YOM 96)...it had very low mileage I think the owner wanted something like 6 Lakhs for it if im not mistaken. Im sorry but I cant advise on maintainence and such for an opel but its likely to be more than a jap car. ------------------------------------------------------------ Milindu machan can you drop me a line (click my name to open my profile and get my email as im not sure I can post it) need to run something by you. thanks ------------------------------------------

A friend of my dads bought a 301- ML 320 for 4.5 mil recently.... I think the transaction was between friends tho... it had 45 k or 65 k on the clock.

The X type is the worst Jag ever made. Despite the E46 being common I think the 2002 is the facelifted one and thats a little less common (esp since its petrol). Expect to pay around 4.2 for the BMW. Also have a look at the Audi A4 (2003), you may be able to get one thats in that range.... or even a Sing Rx-8 if you want something rare. But from what you've said I'd go for the BMW.
