The wrecking ball brushing past the bonnet had me laughing my a** off anyways I bet one of them new Hiluxes wouldn't even withstand these stunts.

Transport Minister who has no clue of road rules. Shame indeed!

When I checked 1 month ago, Wheels Lanka (Euro Motors) service center was still operating and they claimed that they are able to supply all necessary spares for Grande Punto Italian version (Similar to Abans Auto still importing Geely spares, although Geelys are handled by Micro now). True that they no longer import Fiats. BTW does LOLC import Puntos too? And do they have the same duologic gearbox as the Italian version?

As for the OPs question, Grande PUnto was officially imported by Wheels Lanka (under their subsidiary, Euro Motors). Wheels Lanka still runs the official service facility for Fiats also stock/import spares from Italy and Turkey. This is the contact info: Peliyagoda Service Center 25A/14, New Nuge Road, Peliyagoda. Tel: +94-11-5377152-3 +94-11-7887878-81 Hot-line: +94 772 612 612 You can also try ebay to bring down spares. WHeels Lanka people will gladly do the installation for you. LOLC Motors import Indian FIat and probably Indian spares too.

HIghly unlikely. Here's a list of the 18 cars http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Phantom_IV#List_of_the_18_units

ur right about the Panda. It's called Panda Cross though. Definitely has a sexual connotation

Would love to drive around in Colombo roads in an HSV UTE and the dream of all dreams for me would be the Rolls Phantom IV. Only 18 of this I8 monster was ever produced and 16 of them survive!

We have a few tree huggers who provide the entertainment in this forum, but didn't have a tree wanker yet.Perhaps you could be the first one

ok let me take my turn then. here's an easy one

Toyota Rukus (PS. That's the Aussie name for that fugly car. Don't know whether it comes to SL with a different name)

AFAIK there's nothing wrong with connecting the negative to negative or to earth, IF the negative is properly earthed. If not, there is a chance of sparking. So to avoid that risk, it's better to connect to the body of the car.

Peek under the rear of the car to see whether there is a big ball like thingy between the two wheels. If so, it's a 4WD Cruze and your fuel figures could be pretty normal. If it's not a 4WD version, try going thru the following thread for possible solutions. Outside condition of the car is not an indication of anything buddy. AC Filters are available with any AC repair shop. Why do u need 2? You can get car covers from Darley Road. Get a good quality one. You can also get carpets from Darley Road.

Just to add to the comments - MB140 is not made by Mercedes. It's a rebadged SsangYong vehicle. You might want to take that also in to account when making your decision, knowing the questionable reliability of SsangYong vehicles.

Yikes... am I the only one who's understanding the gravity of Sylvi's note? Obviously the guy is being sarcastic at the beginning but he pointed out something important. Many Sri Lankans are daydreaming of oil in Mannar basin but according to his post (if it is a true first hand account), it may be just another political stunt pulled by our master manipulators.

Daihatsu Boon and Toyota Passo are identical Daihatsu Sirion is the export version of Daihatsu Boon, which may have slightly differing trim levels There is a brand-value for Toyota in Sri Lanka due to the market perception. You may need to consider that too.

Not a big expert of bikes, so thanks for the correction there. In my case, I happened to get thick white smoke after using the bike for some time, which actually got reduced after the engine overhaul. Don't know if I was cheated by the baas unnahe long time ago .

Ripper and Newbi has already given u a good insight to it so here's my two cents as well... Owned one few years ago and it was definitely great riding experience, especially when the power valve kicks in. First up, TZR 125 production ceased in late 90s so u will not find anything newer. Even the ones with English numbers are from the 90s. There are two types of TZR 125s - front disk model and the rear disk model (which has disk brakes on the front and the rear). If u can't recognize which is which, you are better off going for a Scooty or something. But the point is, I would strongly recommend the rear-disk model, which is a bit pricier. You will know why, if you took them for a spin, even on slightly damp conditions. Problems - TZRs have a notorious power valve system, which has an electronic component, which doesn't hold out too well against hot and humid conditions. The electronic components tend to die with time but there used to be folks who could repair those (I had the power valve repaired a couple of times). Few years ago, power valves were also available for sale in the breaker shops in Maligawatte for about 5000. Expect them to be a bit pricier now. There's no 100% guaranteed method to check the power valve but before you buy, ensure that you take a good test run and see if the power valve kicks in at the right time. There should just be one clear squeak when u put the key to the ignition. If you hear any constant sounds or unusual squeaks, be prepared for some repair expenses. Second problem I faced was with the cooling system. Make sure coolant (not plain water) is used in the bike and make sure the radiator is in good condition. Could be a bit difficult (and expensive) to source a radiator. Take a good look at the owner and see if he's a cheapskate or a guy who likes sports bikes. the reason I'm saying that is because TZR is not a fuel efficient bike. An el cheapo would have played around with the carb and possibly even the engine itself with the desperate hope of increasing the fuel economy. Check for white smoke emanating from the exhaust. If so, you may need an overhauling. Not a very tough job but you should have spare cash in hand to take up the repairs. Not sure about the problem with the shock (TZR has a mono-shock) but I agree that it could also be an expensive repair. Most importantly, check if the frame structure is intact. check if its been painted, whether there are any cracks, bends, holes or any kind of welding marks. If it's painted - ask why. check the chain sprockets to see if they are ok. They could end up being safety hazards. Check the tires to see if the wear and tear is even. Having said all this, time must come when you have to let go of things that you love the most. And that's exactly what I had to do to my TZR. I believe that the TZRs days are far behind us and it will be a small miracle if you find one in pristine condition. So if you have any other options, think twice before you go for a TZR. If you need any more help, do let me know. Cheers.

Vauxhall Zafira alright. The floor goes to Schiffer.
