Nissan March K10 2-Door Modifications
carboy2011 replied to Tharanga Bandara's topic in General Automotive
yes you can convert to power steering mate and I do know someone who could do it,but do you really need power steering for such a small hatchback? also keep in mind that conversions are costly affairs -
Nissan March K10 2-Door Modifications
carboy2011 replied to Tharanga Bandara's topic in General Automotive
rather than just modifying a car and molesting it why not bring in it o good shape just like how it left the showroom,check all the ancilliaries and do good maintenance then when those are in order maybe you can tint the car a bit change the rubber mats if you want to get alloys and new pedal covers etc but pls do try to keep it in original condition -
I was suprised to find that Amila tyre shop is no more at Dehiwela and a car sale is there in that location,any idea why they closed up like that I have been a regular there some years back but lately noticed the service levels not that good ,so switched to Ravindras down the road only issue is that its always over crowded and parking is not easy at all recently found another place in Allen Avenue and they seem quite good but since its new too early to say,there is also another tyre shop near Keells in Hill Street but never been there

for almost 24 hrs the Bell 4G was down most of the time and at other times painfully slow I called the cust service no they gave a ref no and promptly said 'an engineer will visit you' nothing was done and no follow up calls as promised,today the service is back to normal Good when it works well but really bad service from their call center
-
Yes thats what many who use Dialog complain and the service provider too has not defended themselves against it either (to the best of my knowledge) so better stay off it
-
using Bell 4G and its very reasonable and after a year they keep increasing quota too which is good speed is fast .......most of the time ,BUT there are times when it becomes very very slow and couple of time before it stopped working for short periods their call cnetre staff is average and some days they have no answer and say 'we will escalate to management' to escape the irate customer and nothing gets done but having said that still compared to others Bell 4G is good for us and should be ok for you too (I assume)

oh great does that mean I have to go to the central province to get this done (in my case since its a 'CP' no) -
I have the following querry Bought a car for business use and it has a CP prefix number Got it transfered to WP prefix now my question is the old revenue licence is valid for few more months but has 'CP' prefix so it it still valid or do I have to get a new revenue licence to reflect the 'WP' prefix no of the car? can someone please advise

I went to A*W pre owned car sale in Nugegoda two weeks ago to see an Alto LXI for business use they had a few cars and here are the things I observed apart from the 6 months Engine ,Gearbox warranty and roadside assistance i) the price is much higher than private sale cars in same condition ii) One car had visible damage in front fender and I asked if they will repair and give for whic they said they can try to cut and polish that area but cannot repaint it as its expensive ! (now thats shoddy service as A*W has all facilities for such repairs and should not sell cars with damages iii)prices were NON Negotiable even for outright cash purchases iv) They wanted Rs 5k for transfer process etc Eventually we got a privately owned Alto for a much lower price
-
yes im also keen as a C12 fan to know if you were able to get the parts and restore it
-
I would never take the car there but buy the stuff from there and get it fitted elsewhere many items found in Darley road are found elsewhere too at a slightly higher price (Dehiwela,Maharagama,Delkanda,Ratmalana etc) but considering the pertol cost to go to Mardana and the hassle its actually much cheaper to do it elsewhere

High rate of accidents on the divulpitya area in Boralasgamuwa
carboy2011 replied to carboy2011's topic in The Lounge
Thanks yes once a life is lost its gone forever I fully agree with your comment about point # 3 these digital adverts should not be there in high speed roads in the first place -
Had the tragic incident when a family members life was snatched away last week near the Divulpitya (B'gamuwa) keells super area when knocked down by a a CTB bus (120 route) it appears that many accidents have taken place there after the road was done up and it seems that there two main reasons for it and according to one source 14 fatalities since the last year i) reckless driving by our drivers just because the road is good ii) lack of street lights so pedestrians crossing the road cannot be seen by the drivers of vehicles Why is the local authorities blind to the fact the road is dark and how much money is wasted on useless stuff in the country while neglecting vital areas and precious lives are lost Our cops are just wasting time by switching off the traffic lights in many areas and creating a messs trying to direct traffic while dangerous stretch of roads are not policed
