Crosswind

Already discussed sometime back,... but what the heck! Mini MkV was my all time best-car, followed by the Proton Impian I had.

When it comes to whatcar advice, there are three types: Lies, damn lies and Sylvi's advices.

GN125 is made in china, not korea or malaysia. call suzuki motors lanka if you want to get a brand new one. Suzuki Motors Lanka Ltd 795 Sirimavo Bandaranaike Mw Colombo 14 Phone : (+94) ( 011) 2542883-5

FB14 Lucino?

What's a Yamaha Daystar???? It's probably a Dragstar you idi*t... or just a Virago with some 'daystar' decal on it. Stop being a poser. You are an epic failure at it.

Viva Elite is probably the best of the three, considering other factors like build quality, spares availability and current market tendencies, in addition to fuel efficiency.

Discussed before. This is a number converted from the old numbering system to English numbers. Currently running series are EA- and FW-

Are u frickin serious? Do u think the ECUs of the world have been fooling us poor motorists all this time until some whizkid developed this chip you are talking about???? I don;t know what this chip is, but the only thing that can happen through electronics is to change the indicated mileage on the odo. ie, your car would run 100km (let's say with 10 litres of fuel) but the odo will indicate 150km and u will think ur car is doing better on fuel now... that's the only possibility I can think of.

Let the mechanic remove the injectors and give u. Also let him remove the throttle body, fix new plugs (if necessary) and change air/fuel filters (if necessary) Ultrasonic for injectors. I've only done it at ASNU @ Talangama Koswatte 011 2888898. Not sure about the areas you mentioned. Perhaps a resident in that area can help. Around 6000 if filters and plugs need replacing

It's actually a good idea to allow heavy vehicles on expressways. Development of a country like Sri Lanka depends heavily on road transport of goods, because our railway system is cr*p, we don't have stable internal waterways and air freight is virtually non-existent. By all means, cargo should be allowed on the expressways. BUT the drivers should be trained and certified for expressway driving and heavy vehicles should be inspected prior to letting in to E01. Hope this happens before the first pile-up on the E01.

Disagree. Street prices in UK (or anywhere else) is not an indication of the CIF price in Sri Lanka. Just an example - street price of a Ford Focus in UK is around GBP 18,000 (~USD 28,000) but the agent's CIF value for Sri Lanka is USD 17000-odd for the same car imported from the same factory.

on the day you stop asking dumb questions

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news here. You will need a riding license even to ride a moped in Sri Lanka. This was brought in last year, due to countless number of kids and idiots on mopeds heavily contributing to the anarchy on the roads. Here's the proof: http://www.colombopage.com/archive_11/Mar04_1299250483KA.php Strictly speaking, you will need a driving license of Category A or A1 (not Category D. Category D are bus driver's licenses now!) from any country, which can be converted to a temporary driver's license in Sri Lanka. The other option is for you to get an International Driving Permit from your country. But do remember that this is Sri Lanka and laws are quite flexible here for willing risk takers.

This has been discussed to death. Please go to Pet#o La#ka and get it done.

Homebrew is definitely a bad idea, as Kavvz mentioned Once you find out the correct ATF type, do an ATF flush, not just an oil change. It will help u in the long run. You can get it done in many large service stations as well as the agents.

It's registered as an invalid carriage... meaning a vehicle to be used by a disabled person. There are three wheelers, cars, vans and also there is one Peugeot 406 I am aware of, that uses PZ- plates. Many of these vehicles were bought by ex-service personnel, who were disabled in action. I believe there were significant tax concessions for these vehicles. However, it is unclear whether the vehicle will continue to retain PZ- plates or not, when it is transferred, because the purpose of these vehicles is for use by disabled persons and if it is transferred to a non-disabled person, the purpose of the vehicle is changed. Also note that if the PZ- plates are to be changed, the vehicle class also must change (ie. from Invalid Carriage to Motor Car). There may also be taxes involved. If you are contemplating on buying one, it's best to avoid it.

I've noticed that cops in cop sheds behave better than the ones on the road. Hopefully u wouldn't have much trouble with them. To make your life easier, go to the cop shed in the area that your residence belongs to, and tell them that the incident happened near your home (even if it didn't). Then, they can't ask u to file the complaint in some other area. And tell them a credible story like a tree branch falling on the windscreen (even if it didn't). Don't forget to get an extract of the complaint certified by the OIC.

That sounds good machan but what do you do with the negative line?

All manual transmission cars as well as three wheelers come with the push start option. yes you can. all you need is a few 'kudu kaarayo', if you can't find anyone else. 100 bucks a person

It's called Jonway something Imported to Sri Lanka as I have mentioned above... Still I'm trying to figure out why they call it A380 and why it has UFO on its badge.... perhaps an old RAV4 with a JET engine??

Most likely culprit is the wiper motor grounding. Perhaps its loose. Also check if you are using fuses with the correct ampere rating. BTW why are u showing this to a mechanic? It's an electrician's job.

Jonway SUV promo pic! Thank You S*ftl*gic for bringing over this A380 UFO to Sri Lanka!!!!
