U&H has two other large buildings in nearby church street which they operate as a garage. It’s name is Auto Box. I’ve obtained their services several times and can say that their work is good.

Yes Devinda, they don’t employ the person but it’s through them only he can be contacted.

Go to U&H union Place .They have a person who does wheel repairs. Very skilled guy.

Pleasure to be of an assistance ?, and really glad to hear that all is ok. Anyways this 141 AC issue is a real pain in the ass isn’t it? That much of money for the repair and things people suggest to do as low cost solutions... just baffling. Just to give you a perspective, a Japanese imported used AC compressor for the Lancer CS cost me just 8K... Total repair 15k and that’s it.

My New Ride : Mistubishi Lancer CS1 GLX (A/T) YOM 2007

I’ve used those aftermarket products on my CS many times. They do give up easily. Usually an engine mount will last about 20k kms, the bearings NSK brand will last about 25k rack ends more or less the same. Replacing rack ends is a fairly easy job and you only have to get a wheel alignment done after that. So in my experience going for after market product is ok considering the original at the agent is too damn expensive. However when it comes to engine mounts, and wheel bearings, it’s a different story, the labor cost for these are high. Also you’d have to spend a day at the garage to get it done, that’s if you are lucky. Now imagine busting engine mount, bearing and rack ends at very close intervals. You’d get fed up with the car easily. Ive experienced this at one point of my ownership of the car. The other thing is that for spares like timing belt, it’s always better not to substitute as failure could have adverse effects. If you are using the car for a longer period of time and as you say runs a lot, it would be much easier to get the following replaced with genuine ones. 1. Timing belt 2. Bearings 3. Engine mounts 4. Brake caliper pins ( you can import these from Partsouq as well) You can use recon imported part for lower arm bushes. You can buy an entire arm for like 6 - 7 k from Mahinda. These will last way more than the Tai parts. Rack end and tie rods use OEM. Since your brake caliper pins and bearings are bad , there the option for buying the entire assembly from Mahinda. That way you’ll get, fairly new discs, entire brake assembly, Genuine bearings. I’ve replaced the entire rear arm set as well as rear brake assembly, bearings and the drum set under 20k in my CS back in 2018 before I sold the car. Windscreen is the issue, insurance won’t pay for recon ones and these after market windscreens are very low in quality. BTW, is this car white white an SP number plate? -
Guys, Im thinking of lowering the car a bit as those hideous gap in the wheel well is a sore in the eye to me... Suggestions are welcome.
-
Ha ha , the inevitable leaking brake cylinders.. looks like yours have leaked quite a lot. Anyhow glad that you’ve got it fixed.

For a split second I thought it’s your car.. ?

I can share the contact details of my trusted A/C repair place. It’s located in Pinwatte-Panadura . Workshop name is Himara Engineering, owner is Palitha and this is his mobile number (077) 753 7409. He knows his stuff and well experienced. You can talk to him and get an opinion on what needs to be done. Just give it a try, you won’t regret it.

There you go, As iRage correctly mentioned, its best to start from here. Usually the petrol filter needs replacing after about every 60,000kms (Thats what is recommended for Lancer EX). I've asked the above question from you cuz, one of my friends faced the exact same problem with his FB15 sometime back. It started with sluggish acceleration and gradually went up to a state where you had to stand on the accelerator to get the car moving at the snails pace. Changing the fuel filter and solved that issue. Cant be sure if that's the case with your car as well. But as you said if the filter hasn't been changed at all, I think its a good place to start with.

Has changing of fuel filter done on time?

That some CIA shit man, I mean the redaction of personal data ?... -
I’m sure your intentions are good as your track record here proves. But the thing is that if this is continued, it’ll be leaving room for someone with ill intentions to do the same thing and mislead the public as we’ve seen happened here before. Those incidents did not ended well for those who tried to do that. Having two profiles and concurrently commenting using both of them makes an illusion to the reader that two people share the same sentiment over something whereas in actual it is not. If I were you I’d compromise a bit and let one go. Just my humble opinion. Cheers!!!
-
Just that its confusing... Man of many faces has no real identity You could've just asked @MADZ change the profile name.. or @Davy can you do something about it?
-
WTF are you using two profiles???
-
Thats a 5 year old car.
-
Genuine ones plus shipping and tax?? That's a fair price.
-
Exactly!! (Magna has a AWD version but Verada doesn’t And there are no Magna’s here in SL AFAIK)
-
Exactly my thoughts.. it just doesn’t make any sense to swap the engine of a perfect car just because the it comes cheap. Best to leave it to someone who will buy it as it is and settle for a Mark II or a Crown. Ive seen a blue Verada for sale few months back which looked to be in great condition. If that is the car OP is referring, it’s just blasphemous to mess it up like that..
-
That Makes sense ?.
-
Updated the original post.
-
Yeh; need to check that ..
-
Yeh get it done as soon as possible... I’ve had this experience since my CS days . Quicker you do this you can avoid replacing the entire cylinders which is much expensive..

5.Rear Brake Cylinder Washer Replacement After almost 9 years the washers of the rear brake cylinders had busted. I noticed a small reduction of brake oil level and asked the agent to check it while doing the wheel alignment as i know that the issue would be this. And I was right. Yesterday got the repair done at Unit#d Mot#rs - Orugodawatte. Not going to post much details as all info is available in this post made by Hyundai . However I was charged Rs.8,358/- for the job> Will check the bill when I get back home and update here. Edit with the price details Labor Cost - 3,450/- Cup+Boot Kit * 2 - 2,677/78 Mitsubishi Genuine Brake Fluid - 1,611/30 Vat - 619/12 Total - 8,358/20 So in comparison to what @Hyaenidae paid, the labor cost is slightly higher but the parts are slightly cheaper. They've done a full brake oil flush as well. Wonder why it wasn't done when yours were replaced @Hyaenidae. The price difference is the brake fluid and the vat.

We don’t have the P100D here are we?
