There has been a lot to report over the last week.
First of all, I migrated from a browser-based password manager to a better one with multiple device support. For my bad luck, I tried changing the password of my Autolanka forum account and ended up losing the new password. for some strange reason, the password reset email from Autolanka never came. after struggling for nearly a week including writing to Autolanka as well, created this account. So, until I recover my old account, I will be using this account.
With regard to Brake pads, I managed to find a genuine set from Panchikawatha, said to be brought on order for the water board. costed 29k. Tried to find Akebono, but couldn't find it anywhere. I also ended up changing the tyres. This time wanted to get GTRadial. But the tyres are 1 year old. Negotiated and got the July manufactured Maxxis Tyres for 141k including wheel alignment, balancing and valves. I was keeping my hopes low as I was on Goodyear tyres. However, the Maxxis didn't disappoint when I drove to Kandy and back this weekend.
