  1. If the original badge with chessy number says Type- ViRS it should be an original. So you can verify the papers to make sure its original manual ViRS. Is it in a car sale? If so the paint may got some touch ups. Better check engine, suspension parts etc, before you make decision.
  2. Well for that price you can get brand new Perodua Viva-Elite. The trend is that, the car is the choice for most who seek brand new but none Indian make Cars. I have driven Perodua Kenari quite often. And overall very good experience for the car at that size.
  3. First of all I think in average conditions EK3 Exi should do 10-12Kmpl and Vi/Vti models should do around 12/13Kmpl. So I guess you are getting low fuel efficiency in your car. And problem must be that your car runs open loop all the time. Once engine heated up it should use O2 sensor readings to get correct fuel ratio which is called closed loop if i'm not mistaken. (there was a thread in A/L too on this topic).If your car running open loop all the time, which means ECU recognize engine is cold and do not take O2 sensor readings.There are several sensors, but do not know if all these sensors give inputs between closed/open loop run.O2 sensor / ECT (coolant temperature sensor) IAT (intake air temperature). These sensors can malfunction even without giving error codes some times. Better test them one by one.
  4. my photo some thing wrong that i cant add flicker photo
  5. hi NPP how much was the Duty fee? I've paid 9K for DHL .. and it was about 3yrs back. Would you mind telling the tax percentage. And i guess it was charged on both item value + shipping. Thats how they usually do that. When I got my RebelXS it was like 50% - 100%. Later that year budget specifically reduced tax on digi cams.
  6. I got Canon Rebel XT (350D) and used 18-55mm lens about 3,4 years back. The seller had his own rating system where he explained his rating in the description. And it was quite informative. According his his own rating body was in one rating below his best. And it was in very good condition. However he rated his lens in 3rd or 4th level.. the photos took from that lens had small patch on it. Anyhow the total both items send with combined shipping and cost me less than 50K at that time. After about 2 weeks i've got a deal and sold it to 52K rupees.
  7. same here.. i had silver colour caps almost 3 years.. few went missing some time back. There is a guy at pertol shed who help to pump air. I think he remove them and keep. So When he come across another vehicle without caps he fix them for around Rs.20 - 50 ..
  8. I use www.beemp3.com check the highest bit rate, the version, etc and download.
  9. Sylvi don't talk thinks you don't know. You are misleading forum members by talking things you are not aware of. If you are posting a price list of a place you know, you should've given proper reference. That is how its done here.
  10. Peri/Watchman - I was out of touch with canon new offerings. So will have to do a full review the new range. Kawz - Yes you have a point there in why going from 1000D - 600D. The reason I wanted to go for new camera is that I gave the RebelXS to my brother and now in hunt of a new camera. I know that moving from 1000D to 500D/550D/600D is not a major upgrade interms of the body except for increased Mega Pixels, as all fall in entry level DSLRs. Since i'm not a Pro-photographer, I thought of going for decent body, but not a professional high end. And put money on a better lens covering more towards the telephoto end.
  11. What I meant was Nikon D3000/D5000/D7000 was introduced around year 2010 isn't it? And D70, D90 was before 2008 if i'm not mistaken. Edit: err.. or is it use of word "NEWER"
  12. Manual Vi is cheaper than Multimati Vi ..EK3?? I doubt that. Because of the problems with multimatic boxes which haven't maintained properly they tend to hold less re-sale value. At least that is what I observed here in forum and my day to day experience with the car. For the question 5 - I dont know him personally or ever been there. But I highly doubt if he or anyone can change your ECU during a tuneup. If you don't have valve timing related issue, only thing a tune up would do is clean the throttle body, clean the sensors and some clean/change spark plugs, and run the engine with 3M/Wurth fuel system cleaner. I dont know how a someone can change your ECU during the process, unless you left your car with totally unreliable person.

    Express-Way Updates

    Guys what is your opinion on the break down lane? If you check the training video the Pajero Jeep has one side almost touching the white colour line on the driving lane (outer lane). So vehicles will pass it just 1 - 2 feets away around 120Kmph. Isn't it too dangerous?
  14. Yes.. I guess the Canon is more feasible option for me. Even i'm now getting used canon features little. One main reason I was attracted to Nikon is the newer range of cameras and its price. And I think canon 550d and 600 falls with in my budget range so i will check on those models.
  15. The main reason I'm looking for new camera is that my brother is start using my rebel XS as his secondory camera and he really like the ease of taking a good pics with it. my budget can stretch from 50,000 - 150,000 (depends on who I purchase, the body only or with lens) The reason I look for Nikon is that new range D3000 - D5000 seems more affordable and easy to use. However from Canon side i'm femilier with 500D. And not sure what other models available at Entry level DSLRs. Most likely I will go for ebay because they don't charge much tax here at local customs (not sure if this changed at last budget. But previous budget they've reduced tax on cameras if i'm not mistaken)
  16. Does anyone has hands on experience with Nikon D5000? I've noticed most reviews says this series does not have an Auto Focus motor built in. I thought focusing comes with the lens instead of the body. Anyhow, I'm looking for an upgrade to my Rebel XS. Planning to buy the body only and find telephoto range lens later. Another option I have is Canon EOS 500D.

    Bmw X1 Vs 318D

    Does introduction of X1 has any negative impact on the target market for BMWs? (Assuming BMW and Mercs are competing the top end of the market)
  18. And funny thing is Gov is spending money on advertising to save electicity power, thus making us low power consumption category. And now blame us for been low consumption customers...
  19. My father had some what similar problem in same car (is this DX wagon). Also if he countinously drive around 2K rpm and take foot off the accelerator pedal, engine shut off suddenly. The problem was loosened pipe that connected to carburator. I'm not sure what exactly but its kind of fuel line connected to carburator. Not the main line but some sort of extra line...
  20. Now what is the sports car you have? I don't see any. Well you say a custom build car .. find engine, build up your body parts is that you mean? And I love to see the Air intake on engine once you complete your custom build car. p.s. troll alert.
  21. Well this seems like a budget magic. Budget is coming soon, now Gov can reduce couple ruppees from what they increased and say we reduced prices from budget.
  22. Yep.. good info. Must try that out.
  23. First off all.. are you using chinese bulbs with blue tint? If so change those bulbs. Using high wattage bulbs than what manufactures recommend is not a good idea in my opinion. It will melt the holder.
  24. This is why I rely on my Karma and Savings when it comes to life insurance too. They'll find 1000s of reasons not to pay rather than paying me.
  25. If cars BMW is parked there and owner went to show room, I dont think BMW will bare any costs. Its just BMW can owner has to claim it from his insurance.
