thanks @Rohnd and @Rumesh88. Appreciate your input.

How important is it to get the correct oil filter? I have no clue what is the correct oil filter for a Mazda Demio? The service station guys used a 'VIC C-415' but how would I know if that's the correct oil filter for the car? The box shows OEM for Mazda JEYO-14-302 JE15-14-302 8173-23-802 G6Y0-14-302 What does this mean? Also the User Manual is all in Japanese so I don't know how to refer the manual. Thanks, Rehana A.

Thanks @vishkid for the hints. Also thanks gain @Rohnd. Rehana A.

Thank you @GayanR, @Rohnd, @NRX and @Nish D. Really appreciate your input. According to the mechanic, the rack would cost around 15k. Repairing the rack would not last long and replacing would be the best option. I will definitely check with mazna. Any landmarks finding mazna (never been to papiliyana). I'll be coming via Nugegoda Junction. Sound: I hear and feel a strong click sound while steering the wheel about quarter away either side. One of my friends suggested that it's also better to get an OBD check while getting the steering rack repaired (not too sure what that is - I only know that this will detect engine problems). Do I have to pay if I get this service (this might be a stupid question but I'd like to know)? Thank you. Rehana A.

@The Don appreciate your input.

There is noise coming from my steering wheel when I turn it both ways. The mechanic suggested that I need to replace the steering rack of my mazda 3. I rang couple of places to check the price buy it was not available. Can someone suggest where can I purchase a steering rack for a mazda 3 and if possible the price range? Thank you. Rehana A.

This thread has been sort of violated due to the <//Sylvi //Watchman //Pericles> argument. This thread/topic really has lost its purpose. The next viewer will have to read through all these rubbish to get to know about the service offered by CM. Isn't it? I'm not blaming anyone but I've lost interest in this thread but for the sake of keeping my word, I wrote that single sentence about CM.

My personal review about C**Mart Rathmalana : 8/10 (I'm satisfied with the service they offered) MAZDA Car.

As in many other forums worldwide, If there was a points system within the forum and displayed POINTS ACHIEVED below the profile image thumbnail, it would have been helpful to differentiate the "good pros" from the "bad pros". (i.e.: The person who starts a thread is able to give each helpful answer 5 or 10 points depending on the quality of the answer).

I will be collecting my car hopefully within the next day or so... Will write my review with pics...

Thanks. Good info. Thanks Sylvi.

@W: get over it! use your time to only post something useful...

My husband has already sent the car to CM I'll keep you all updated (perhaps even with some pics of my car)... As to what I've told and read, it appears that CM is offering a much better service now. This would certainly be helpful to all mazda owners... fingers crossed.

@Watchman: I already did that before I opened this thread. I did not come across any C**Mart customer satisfactory reviews... Get your facts right before making a comment.

Thank you sylvi.

Hi All Have anyone done any Accident repairs at C** Mart Rathmalana? I know they are the Mazda & Peugeot agents but I'm keen in knowing the quality of their repainting, dent repairing. And also do they complete jobs and deliver the vehicles quickly?? One of my friend said these guys usually do not give or mention a delivery date when they undertake a job?

thumbs up - nicely explained crosswind! thanks and I agree! RA

I don't think so. thanks anyway I've learnt from you too RA

it's something than nothing agree? RA

Thanks iRage. When a person is totally new to something, he asks the stupidest questions. right? Same with you and same with me - I'm very excited about my new car and I want to know everything about it... I knew the answers to this questions would be similar to "join a Japanese class", "it's a ghost", "strange!!", "wired", "hire a tourist guide", etc etc... Anyway I have a habit of asking. RA p.s. You 'experts' (as everyone greets you guys) don't know everything about vehicles or even about your own vehicle. I believe an Expert wouldn't bother/take the time to type something in a forum...

I hear Japanese sentences in my car. How can I find out what the meanings of them? Are those standard in all cars? RA

LOL ~ LOL....

Another fact is that doctors are always with patients with various diseases-germs... so the interior is !!!!!!!!

So how about buying a car from a MrsDoctor? lol... I don't know about Doctors but nowadays you get very good lady drivers - seriously!!

The reality is that car sales are doing bad these days!!! One of my friend said they haven't had sold a car since Sinhala New Year! Therefore you can bargain and Bargain and BARgain and BARGAin and BARGAIN.... (coz you loose nothing but only you win) I guess everyone should do the same for these second hand vehicles. If not walk away!!!
