  1. But remember nothing gives you the good look like CBR AVE Turbo man Agreed. That's very true.
  2. Like I said when you buy a used car you have to expect spending some money on that.less or more.In my case,the timing belt was due( according to the records I could have used it for few more hundred miles but I didn't need a chance.) So I changed it and the water pump,changed some minor front end parts like a ball joint,a tie rod end,changed rear links,and did a fully complete tune-up. Mine is automatic,manufacturer says the AL4 tranny lubricated for life but I got it drained and refilled.May be it wasn't nessasery but I liked some fresh juice in every reservoir in my "new" car . I would suggest you to show the car to a Peugeot pro to see if you need to do anything on it though you 're not ready or not need to spend any money on that. That 'll give you an idea about what you're driving and what you're up to if any,especialy if you're a fresher.
  3. I bought my first 406 Executive around 6 months ago,and things were pretty much same as yours.Almost everyone were against about my choice but I went for it.I did listen to the others but confidently gave priority to my taste,to my living style and to my affordabilty. It's a 10 years old car driven on SL roads so I did spent some money on that but same as you,I have no regrets 'cuase a dream came true ! Today I am so happy because above all from a car I get what I need; A LOT OF DRIVING PLEASURE! There are not many reliable,affordable,cars with decent driving pleasure in SL ,so Iam sure you did right. So,take good care of the beauty and GOOD LUCK!
  4. Do you think the riders height matters for back pain on a CBR ? May I ask how tall are you?
  5. That's it. Subasinghe Motors ! Thanx brother! Thanx everyone!
  6. Is there a place called "Abeysinghe" something on Punchi or on Armour street? Do they sell any Peugeot parts? If someone knows the location let me know please. Thanx.
  7. Lock elbowes ? i don't get it. Can you explain little more?
  8. I am a CBR lover since my school days,only yesterday rode the beauty for the first time.I was like,"Oh no,how do you ride it like this?This is not what I expected.I wish if it comes with a height adjustable handle or if I have longer arms".On the short road test I felt like I had to take my whole body weight onto my arms. But I've seen physically avarage guys ride this bike normally,maybe they got the same feeling on their first ride and over the time got used to the particular riding position? I am an avarage built guy,5'4",light weight ,right now I use a 250 Hawk wich is too heavy for me.It's a great ,steady bike though. So my question to any CBR users out there is, (No other bike satisfies me ,but CBR!) Is this a good match for a 5'4" guy? Is the back bending riding position gonna be feel alright once I got use to it? Is it a good bike for longer trips OR is it gonna kill my back and arms after a while? Thanx in advance.
  9. [Hell of a job bro!
  10. Hey,It's great to hear about you CBR fans,'cause Iam trying to buy one. Never owned,don't know much about them ,so, what would you say for a fresher? What are the places I can try?

  12. Forget it. This is Sri Lanka.
  13. I bought a 2000 Executive a couple of months ago,you should think of what LBoard and SpeedyAsA posted.I totally ,positively agree with them.
  14. Sifaan, Thanx brother.I am sure you sugested the best but I just wanted to keep the baby in it's original way, anyway I'm gonna look into what you told.
  15. Guys, I need a CD changer unit for my '00 Peugeot 406 Ex ,so far I couldn't find any from the locals . I go to E Bay and to a couple of UK sites everyday but no luck yet.If anyone can pass me the model number of the unit please do so then I might have a chance to get one shipped. Thanx.
  16. Right now my reverse gear is totaly dead,the car won't backup at all,and yeah I got a kind of thud noise with a jumpy move on farward,not sure if it,s 2nd or 3rd gear.
  17. I got a transmission prob with my '00 Peugeot 406 2.0L ,what I learned from a couple of Peugeot pro's was that 406's inherited with short life automatic transmissions and aren't reliable even after fix them. Does anyone have expieriences,openions or any usefull info on this,please share with me.
