Well Ive had first hand experience of the terror due to poor handling of terios few years back. I was the front passenger in my friends Terios,when it went with two wheels(Like a night rider type of stunt) after taking a bend just after Belihuloya. Thank god,it came down on right side and still remember the silence inside the vehicle for few minutes! .

Ha.. ha..Got delayed to Sunday due to saturday on call duty! . You have a point there. But what I did was , just put the door in closed position like when you put into AC fresh air vent door off mode from dashboard.Ive noticed a another small rubber flap covering a another opening in the rear end of my car closd to the fuel lid.May be it has something to do with cabin air circulation or pressure balancing.

I'm talking about fairly heavy parts like wheel hub assembly or suspension links.<br /> <br /> If the total duty are anything like 50%, I can expect to make a saving of around 25k LKR/part on most of the items on my checklist - even compared to Panchikawatte.<br /> Unfortunately the HSCodes/Tax calculator on customs.gov.lk is down so I do not hv a reference.<br /> <br /> TIA</p></blockquote> Machan PM our conversion Guru , komi!. He has brought in some heavy stuff including Type R GB, seats and hundreds of other stuff!.

Yep, its the AC fresh air door not closing properly. In Eg/Eks its a sheet of foam pasted to thin metal door which will build up rust over time. As Rumesh mentioned you need to remove glove box and blower motor to access it. If you are lucky bit of WD 40 will do the job for you . In my case its not closing properly as lever mechanism was busted. So permenently closed it with sheet of foam and power connector to AC fresh air vent door motor was disconnected.

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="SAM K" data-cid="232067" data-time="1359979027"><p> Hi Don,Thanx a lot for the fast reply ..well noted and one more thing, can the t belt cover melt due to excessive heat and it get deformed and touch the t belt? and do i need to dismantle all and check the t belt propelry and also a compression check for any cracks in cylinder liners.. Will these be necessary .please advice..</p></blockquote> If you are reffering to lower part of the T belt cover , its due to hot water escaping through water pump seals. I had to replace them with the pump as I mentioned before . Suprisingly T belt cover was available brand new at tech motors!

As don said check the water pump because "kara kara " noise is most probably related to bad water pump. I faced to similar situation 3 y back and paid the ultimate price due to ignorance. ( I too have Eg single carb). In EGs water pump situated near the area you are discribing and see any water leaks from the right side of the engine ,below the pulleys. Hope you havent blown your head gasket, but run the car with close eye on temp gauge specially with AC on.

Ive got samsung infuse4g official car dock which was a petfect match for s3 and worked with ICS. ( charging and audio out option). With JB they have removed it in all the updates except in one us network. It is a huge blow to the after market car docks like i Bolt.

Machan schifer, are you using a car dock with your s2. . If so, just check wheather its working. Because I upgraded to JB in my S3 and later realized that they killed the dock function with the JB!
