    Getting To Know About Bmw

    Are you guys referring to the blue colour one? There was while colour 320i appeared on classifieds for quite long time isn't it?

    Honda Civic-Ek3

    What you mean by jumping exactly. There is a problem with Multimatic gear boxes if you didn't maintain it properly. And I have experienced sudden RPM drop while driving that caused sudden jerks kind of thing from engine due to sensor errors which solved after tune up.
  4. Guys I am in a dilemma to deside change the shock absorbers or not. I get some rattle sounds ( dug .. dug .. dug ..) when going in damaged roads. One EK3 user said its normal with EK3s. No visible damages or wear in bushes or components observed during the service. How do I figureout to change the shock absorbers or not.
  5. I don't think scooty will dissapoint you. However I doubt if battery is fully dead and depending on the condition/unused period it's re-usable. There is a mechanic I know which he recovered my brand new battery which I used few months, but went dead again since I didnt use the bike much. This is the procedure he did. Since its small one you may try out if battery didn't charged after start using it. Remove all battery acid left in the battery. Fill the battery with hot boiling water (be cautious). Keep air tight for 24hrs. Remove the water. Wash the battery with hot water again. let it completely dry. Add battery (sulphuric) acid and charge it with external charger with low current. This will remove the lead-sulphate generated over the time and clean the +/- plates.
  6. Willies Auto. Near Eriyagama Junc (peradeniya), he is the stafford authorized person in Kandy. Or you can take it to Magcity.
  7. As you said car is in excellent condition and if its Vi (VTEC) engine take it to test ride, do the engine scan for check light errors. That 14.5 - 15 is ok price. It is the same price we saw similar cars in few months back. Also see why it's in open papers and check service records if available.
  8. Does it has mesh grill or standard grill in front? Any way I don't know whether its same car that i've mentioned. What is the price?
  9. I've heard there is one blue colour Vi with mesh grill but it met few accidents.
  10. Where you got to see this car in Kandy? Any how for 15 laks you will be able to find 96 - 98 Vi. Price will varry from 13.5 - 15 laks depending on the condition.
  11. Yes.. most of the brands like Dell, Nokia, etc. I was referring to the Chinese fake headset identical to orginal. They say its original but materials they use, or resistance, gauge makes entire thing a different product.
  12. Yes based on the quality of the wires, speakers your sound experience will totaly be changed. I have come across some chinese headsets that fully looks like OEM Apple still made in china, headphone but incapable of producing some sounds that the song had in it. Copper in not just copper.
  13. A friend of mine used a Scooty pep for almost 2 years as a daily ride. And she still use it once in a while. No issues with reliability or spare parts. If its only short distance travel I think it's good value for money. No experience with Bajaj so far.
  14. hmm true.. but I hope cops will have mercy to direct the retard to Angoda then..
  15. +1 If the cops are convinced that it is not careless driving but retard no issues.
  16. What will happened to the bike finally?
  17. There was a rumor i Kandy that police has captured HC bike and investigating on it. I had a chance to go there and see what it is.. it was R1. Any body knows the owner.. police said court case is filed.
  18. Yes.. but when suddenly someone pop up and say Attention: RS is not good in fuel.. it does take attention and worst is it's incorrect statment in relative terms in given scenario. So it's fair enough for those who have off hand experience to correct it. That is forum is all about.
  19. How much its does .. ViRS.. 7, 8, 9 Kmpl??? As far as I know even ViRS would do 11 - 12 Kmpl in average if you are not an aggressive driver.

    Honda Sensors

    Hi guys.. today morning I just noticed check light gone off. So took it for test drive ECON light came up as it supposed to be. Any how i'll be taking it to the tune up as it's not done for about 5,6 months.
  21. thanks for the info. What my plan is I can go for my next car with say 1.8M - 2M. So I have the option to go for some of the Jap cars at that price with this so called English plates. So I am thinking of getting 318i YOM after 1995 (if possible) around 1.6M - 1.7M. And have couple of hundred thousand left in my pocket... which I believe sufficient enough to maintain it for 1 or 2 years (depending on the what i get) .. If things are favorable I can continue of not get downgraded to Jap again
  22. If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it! I've heard this before. But I can't give any specific reason as to why I want BMW except that getting it is a kind of a Challenge for me. And as i stated before I have no issue in fuel economy, etc and most importantly no other priorities and commitments like family , wedding, housing loan.. at least for another 1 to 2 years.... I can get one. Try that out and use it for may be even 3 months to 1 year .. see how it goes. Then I can decide to keep it or resell it again. hmm.. I know it sounds weird and not fit to the BMW profile.
  23. Correct. I know.. none of my colleagues, relatives friends does own a BMW/Mercs. Only my father owned some old VW, Peugot, Fiat and Fords in 60s - 80s. So in typical Sri lanka context I am supposed to be a normal guy who use a common Jap car. That is the reality with me.
  24. Hi guys.. can some body help me with below information of E36 - 318i manual car. Prices of the Air filter, oil filter and cost of a regular service at Agents and other out sides parties.
