Hi eyepea I travel quite often at night (7PM to 10PM) and early morning (3AM to 6:AM) on the Puttalam-Anuradhapura road. Elephants are not often on the road but generally they can be seen somewhere between the 7km to about the 10km posts before Karuwalagswewa, and again between Thabbowa tank and before Saliyawewa. I have observed that these elephants are rather shy and I have had no issues. They are either on the side of the road or beyond the electric fences. By and large I avoid travelling between 10pm and 3am, not so some much because of elephants but because of reckless bus drivers. I don't advice speeding in these areas (clearly road marked as elephant crossing areas) because should you suddenly encounter a lone bull or a herd, you may end up hitting them. I travel at a speed where I could easily control the vehicle in case of an emergency. Ekendra

Does any other supplier provide a MOBILE services? I am particularly referring to Amaron and Panasonic 5 year warranty batteries. Thanks

Very soon I will need to change my tyres on my Hyundai Tucson. The original tyres are Kumho and have given me 43,000 km so far and I guess I can do another 2000 km without any issues. I have the option of choosing one of the following brands; Kumho - 100 Hangkook - 76 GT - 65 Nexen - 62 GT and Nexen are the cheapest, though Hangkook which is 24% cheaper is also a good option. If any members have experiences with these brands, will appreciate your views please. Thank you

Is there a special format for the NO OBJECTIONS letter? Is it just OK to say; "This is to certify that I Mr. YYY of yyyyy holder of NIC 5555555555 am the owner of vehicle XX-XX YYYY and I have no objections to the transfer of the said vehicle to Mr. xxxx of xxxxx holder of NIC 6666666666?"

Many thanks. Will try that out.

Does anyone know if SNOW FOAM http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/super-snow-foam-5-litre/prod_370.html is available to retail customers in Sri Lanka. Kleenpark uses it but it is not for sale.

I have read that after-market Electronic Tuning Sustems, when fitted to Diesel CRDi vehicle improves performance and efficiency. Please see http://www.tdc-technologies.com/ and http://www.dieselexpress.co.uk/ They are some of the establishments that offer Digital Tuning Systems at prices varying from GBP 90 to GBP 500!!! Is there anyone who may have used these tuning boxes in Sri Lanka that fit between the ECU and Fuel Injection System? If so may I have (only) their views please? Thank you

Not quite what I was looking for at ODM. Very crude in my view (at least what was shown to me) . Will try 4x4M on Saturday. I have seen several Prado's with fairly high quality workmanship receiver hitches. Maybe direct imports!! Thank you for your response.

I am searching for a reliable place where I can purchase and fit a quality Tow Hitch Receiver for a Toyota Landcrusier Prado. Any information will be helpful.

Does this mean that every time you disconnect the battery, your navi will have to be re-set and you have to fork-out 1500/-??

Hi Jerome, I was talking to a guy who has considerable experience with 4X4 vehicles and he suggested that I use Auto Diesel fuel (Cetane of 48) with a regular treatment of Wurth Diesel Additive. He seems very confident that this combination would suffice. I have a 90 litre tank and he suggests that I fill up when the tank is half empty and add 100 ml of Wurth Diesel Additive each time I fill the tank with diesel. I presently use Super Diesel. Would you like to comment? Thank you - Ekendra

Hi Jerome, I have checked the Wurth UK website and I note that they do not have an injector cleaner for Diesel. What would you suggest for Diesel injectors? Regards Ekendra
