  1. Is it a TP11 Primera?
  2. Yup Toyota Deliboy. A variant of Townace or Liteace or one of them aces (not Hi Ace though) Floor's all yours mate
  3. Not a maruti
  4. Any takers guys? Ill give a clue. It's a variant of a very popular vehicle in Sri Lanka. So damn popular if you go to the nearest road now, u would see one of its kind within 5 minutes.
  5. tried torque. i prefer scanator.
  6. thats exactly what im wondering, unless he has hacked the ecu and got it wrong u mean the ebay link or how to use the cheap scanner? ill be doing a diy on it sometime soon. if u want to know the ebay store which i got it from, its tomtop-wholesaler.
  7. Cheers Mini. Try this one guys
  8. arent u talking about the place in embuldeniya?
  9. I smell an early contender for the next year's fail awards. I hope he stays alive till then. If he doesn't, he can always get the Darwin award.
  10. Low engine temp suggests a missing thermostat valve or a faulty thermostat switch. Anyway I believe we have a darwin award contender here. Just look at the pic below:
  11. What do u mean by taking time, checking carefully and yada yada yada? When you scan a vehicle, all you do is plugin the device, check for information/error codes. That's it. You don't need to go thru all the 1s and 0s in the cache carefully or take time to do that. Just get a OBDII device yourself and a good scanning software. Once you get the output of the software, do a google search. U will find lots of info. That's what I do. I just use a cheap OBDII device, dozens of software and lil bit of googling skills.
  12. grille suggests rover. rover p4 is my guess. perhaps that's what miniace meant.
  13. are u planning to be a contender for the fail awards next year or are u just too high? sylvi is watchman? yeah right
  14. cali, you and your hybrids have more or less swept the fail awards for this year. majority of this forum thinks you are a loser and thats what matters in this community. so feel free to leave this forum full of hybrid-haters and go away
  15. Totally agreed. The decision at the end is highly personal and should be an informed decision.
  16. Aren't most of the TVs we find in the market edge lit LEDs? In fact, that's what I meant in my statement above. If it's a full array LED, the technology is entirely different. Like I said earlier, the hybrid vs. plug-in hybrid argument holds true if the comparison is between LCD and Full Array LED. If you are getting a full array 32-inch LED for the price of a 42 inch LCD, then by all means buy four of them. But what I feel is edge-lit LED vs LCD choice should be determined by other factors. Picture quality of the TV is really in the eyes of the person who watches it. Yes, power consumption would be slightly less. May be by 5-10%? or is it more? and is it enough a justification to consider the 'new technology'?
  17. Dude, the 'more advanced' part about LED TVs are mostly marketing hype afaik. LED TVs are also LCD TVs which uses LEDs along the edge of the panel unlike the "LCD TVs" which actually use small cathode tubes. Biggest advantage would be lower thickness of the TV and a bit higher frame rate. There may be a slight difference in picture quality but mostly it is psychological. Unless getting the latest technology is the necessity I would actually go by the advice of the guy who supported LCDs. Let me put it this way. Marketing hype would make us believe that LED vs. LCD is similar to hybrid vs. plug-in hybrid but in reality, its not. BTW manufacturing costs of edge-lighting using LED should be lower than using CFL (or the thing they use in LCD) but right now, supply and demand seem to dictate the prices.
  18. Just go to Darley Road. U will find many number plate makers. It's not rocket science, u don't need to be 'good' at it. Anyone who knows how to cut a sheet of plastic and how to use a spray paint can can make a number plate.
  19. seriously is that the best comeback you can think of?
  20. Don't know if he's a headache to you guys but his pseudo-aussie-slang verbal diarrhoea is definitely a headache to the rest of us. The irony is some of those words are outdated and no longer used by most of the average Aussies. Either the guy is hanging out with Bogans (Aussie version of Rednecks) or he's just a wannabe aussie.
  21. Well... he's the only one who canvassed for himself (in his own style) in this thread. Advertising pays off!
  22. Outlander?
  23. If it's the new beetle you are thinking, then I got news for u
  24. ... sold in Sri Lanka as Ssangyong/Micro Stavic Floor is yours
  25. I was aware of the red Giulietta. Haven't seen this one yet. It's a true beauty. Here's mine. My personal choice for the ugliest vehicle on this planet.
