Well this is a god forum mate n i have learn a lot and most have been very kind to help me out... but its not an excuse to ask silly questions like this hmm? what Pericles say is true, its just coz of tax reduction that people opt for it. including me wanted to know abt the hybrid after this tax issue, otherwise be honest would you have considered this hmm? unless u hv been using this car abroad n so on. would u take a risk on buying a car that's hardly anyone used in SL no mechanical knowledge no tech support even, except now the company refused all claims abt being able to handle Prius according to there ads on papers. u just cannot compare the hybrid shipped to UK n the one in Japan now can you? like many appliances the qualities vary... why would u think a xbox gets busted here? the hot climate here wont do any good to it. buying something reliable even if tis a recon Toyota is worth it buying a Prius which can screw ur hard earn money in secs. again hving a a brake issue is a serious thing, would anyone get in a freaking car if the damn brakes wont function when u want them By all means by a Prius BUT at ur own risk. if ur environment conscious then leave ur Prius or Insight alone the stock standard way, way its designed to function and save the planet. if wanna save the planet reducing taxes would have helped so people can chuck of there old cars n buy new once and then go for a scrapping scheme or what ever. i went behind a bloody bus and i had to face with a blooming smoke screen i couldn't see s**t and mind u i was two cars lengths behind. so what a Prius does is undone. what i pointed out abt international forums is to get knowledge from them, are there any repairs they faced, living with a Prius etc... end of the day all brought hybrids coz of tax n now they flood the forum with useless topics coz they never did any research nothing what so ever. like the bloke who wanted to put lights on a gear lever n etc. why u think i shot ma self in the 1st place nxt time any one want to put a topic do ur damn homework 1st and then post it. anyone can ask stupid questions its k but this is just ridiculous

just to clarify here i shot maself not to insult the poor soul but this is just crazy asking how the Prius does on fuel. hv nothing against peeps who buy them it not my money, personnel cant afford one n not planning to either its just too risky and peeps who hv brought them have no clue abt the car just coz the tax went down everyone brought one that's it... period now only they think abt the parts and problems associating with owning a hybrid. i met a guy while at a tire shop... he didn't care abt any damn thing he wanted to fit bigger alloys, low profile tires etc just to impress others. (btw he was putting nitrogen on his tires) didn't know the whole point why certain parts were made in a Prius to reduce drag etc to make it more fuel efficient. after explaining to the poor bloke that this would ruin the whole purpose of buying a hybrid (i mean come on i thought this poor deluded bloke didn't know anything abt it wanted to help him out) only to know he's a stu**d mor*n who was a cheap skate he said if certain stuff stops functioning he has the insurance to claim it. i mean do the freaking research on the net, try forums, contact the dealer try asking friends abroad etc watch videos wat ever... to get proper understanding of the technology that's new to SL. asking info here isn't worth it coz all of the Prius owners are new to this car. forget abt the fuel consumption it has to be good... just be sure in a harsh climate like here the car can survive. i know i know all the cars are depended on electronics...Yes. but USA brought Xbox will not survive in SL... this might have the same situation. your Prius electronics might not be cheap now would it. any ways this is my thoughts. luv the tech on any car but not stupid questions

Oh for crying out loud is there any icon to show shooting ma self

it depends on plugs you have i think some require change after 15,000km those would be normal plugs others like platinum tipped once should be around 50,000km right.... anyone correct me if m wrong here guess a good check on the plugs would show if tis time to change them or not. this is what i found on Haynes Manuals, should be useful Examination of the spark plugs will give a good indication of the condition of the engine. If the insulator nose of the spark plug is clean and white, with no deposits, this is indicative of a weak mixture or too hot a plug (a hot plug transfers heat away from the electrode slowly, a cold plug transfers heat away quickly). If the tip and insulator nose are covered with hard black-looking deposits, then this is indicative that the mixture is too rich. Should the plug be black and oily, then it is likely that the engine is fairly worn, as well as the mixture being too rich. If the insulator nose is covered with light tan to greyish-brown deposits, then the mixture is correct and it is likely that the engine is in good condition.

what headlight glare its more like the heat will be low right, coz i hv done it on me cab n i'he not experienced what u say although the heat is a bit low

this is just fantastic really no clue y the brake issue is not so important to him hmm? maybe he's like the Flintstones era its basically show-off coz people who have these cars are now fitting fancy lights, 16,17 rims which basically is pointless if they wanna save the planet n run green... there are plenty of threads showing this in AL nw. how to put lights around the gear lever etc I'll still vote for the Honda Clarity by far then a Prius coz that's way ahead of any tech car at present. isn't making a Prius battery more environmentally damaging

I just couldn't have said it much better than this "No, no, no. There's no such thing as cheap and cheerful. It's cheap and nasty & expensive and cheerful."

Ohhh blimey just saw the pic... no clue about these gadgets

well then there are Pioneer,JVC,Kenwood brands u can opt for, or even used once that u can find in Ad***ce or P**co m using a JVC mp3 player with USB support guess u can buy one of those under 10k but if u can survive with the stock one till u can get to buy the good one would be worth it

what ru stuck with now anyways? should be coming with a standard unit right? y not stick to a used one instead no point in going for something new if u wanna replace it later with something good

hmm m having few symptoms relating to these but I'm having a MAP sensor. this includes gas millage, slow acceleration etc. any ideas on how u can tackle a MAP sensor?

Hmm i came across the Bosch brand in a kirulapana parts shop near the cargills building, but if u can't find better to opt if have some one kind enough to send from abroad other than that its kinda usual places like Ad***ce, P**co etc... but i do believe without a proper reflector to handle the HID its better off to stick with white 100w halogen bulbs & might also wanna change the holders too. just went through eBay again u can get Philips around the $170 mark but no shipping here. what i would do is ask someone there to buy n send it here.... just a thought like Mr.Clarkson would say "No, no, no. There's no such thing as cheap and cheerful. It's cheap and nasty & expensive and cheerful." (me telling about cheap HID's n expensive once)

isn't it Rs5000 bucks now... driving without a license and under age driving

ok dont buy from ebay although other products i came across were good.i brought down HID's n they tend to flicker slightly...i think best option although a little pricey to buy from here coz u get warranty etc...it will be worth it... has anyone tried Bosch or Philips HID?

I was also waiting to put Saturns reply here...i still have it saved in ma pc gud guide lines. guess hvin a less ODO makes people sort k to buy the car or makes them happy....but true judging a car ODO meter alone is crazy when there are so many important factors to consider

Nugegoda and dehiwala both same, both vibrates when vehicles go past...i dont find anythin to be not worried about damn thing feels like it will fall down soon....its just a freaking bridge that starts near a bus halt and ends near the next halt so yeah traffic flow is awsome i like to see an ambulance go past on those rush our times when its full of cars btw why do people call it rush hour when nothings moving

For gods sake man put the damn info in one thread wat the hell....??? 5 odd topics for putting lights on a bloody prius... u dont get marks for putting new threads on AL... info myt be usefull but come on use ur nugget once in awhile

wonder is that will be more Econo to ur purse as well

True so true...but i did like the dash...funny thing is dats all i liked about it....i would rather drive me cab... 20yrs so far and still running better then ever.... still like to see anybody brave enough to wade through flooded roads on a prius

Porsche Hybrid ??? i would stick with a Land Cruiser or a non Hybrid Porsche Caynne S.... i mean common if u can buy a Porsche n can maintain it also y go for a freaking hybrid...its just wrong

Y not consider a Toyota IQ which has 1000cc engine 2seater with a whooping fuel efficiency better then any bike or hybrid nw that's a great city run about in my book...u can park two IQ's in one

Well i hv never heard abt sumtin like that...mayb they cudn't find the right pump n just syaing that seriously hv been using this for yrs hv never got any sorta problem relating to breaks

just thought of pitching in here. so far no issues found on brakes 6yrs with us now still has the grunt

Hmm did u try places passing Nugegoda? before turning to the Uni... i found the shell in a place in Maharagama body panels are bit hard to find... but its a sturdy ride...planning on going on a Hilux convoy pretty soon with ma cousins...that would count for 5 cabs rolling out...NICE
