  1. Thanks for the info.... Recently I did a scan ( I did it for something else) and got two report with 4 min apart. In first one coolant temp was 74'c and second 81'c. Is this alarming something? usually my temp gauge come to middle and stay there without change
  2. Great write up Davy..... I haven't gone this far in interior cleaning... wanna try this in coming vacation.
  3. Saw this while browsing youtube. unbelievable nerve and muscle speed, co-ordination and response. What will happen if he become a race driver?
  4. Yeh... it seems like that. good observation.
  5. Is this somewhere near Diyathalawa?
  6. Windscreen was cracked after parked under a tree. Though I get payment for windscreen I have to spend for Windscreen Tint the same amount of money as a windscreen as I haven't shown any of my modifications to Insurance company.
  7. "When you park, the best practice I'd say is to first select 'N", and then apply parking brake, release the foot brake for a second so that the wheels get locked with the parking brake, and then press the foot brake again and shift to 'P' This way, the weight of the vehicle is off the gear box when you park. Have you seen, if you just shift to P and then leave the car (with or without parking brake) the car rocks forward and backwards a few cm before settling down. This is not good for the gearbox in the long run if I'm not mistaken. " Good one I should adopt this. I used to do it, apply parking brake while keeping foot on the brake paddle and then put gear in to "P".
  8. Yes it is cute........
  9. What is this? Also adding that, at cruising speed torque converter gets locked (like above 60km/h) so that energy waste will be low after this unless you do a hard acceleration.
  10. Thank for bring up old memories. I missed some of those because we didn't have proper coverage in my area. Adding to the list Team Knight Rider.
  11. Is it a fake advertisement? I mean are there any 10000cc car engine?
  12. 1. Can that be 32-24? It cannot be that much low. For a GT tyre 175*70*14 it's 44psi for inflation on first time 2. Agree. Go for the tire placard (most of the time it can be found near driver side where door comes and fixed) . If it is in kPa divide that value from 6.89. 3. There're also some safety issues http://www.tiresafety.com/ , http://www.michelin.co.uk/tyres/learn-share/care-guide/tyre-pressures
  13. I think Hoonigan has explain a lot. I think He is correct regarding restriction. Tint cannot be applied for Windscreen and front Windows. Still you can apply up to 25% for front windows is undetectable. If you go for a Windscreen tint always go for a quality one otherwise you will end up having Migraine. Cheep Tints available from 3000 onward quality brand will be from 16000 onward.
  14. Wish you all a happy and a prosperous new year.....
  15. Thanks
  16. Yes, Heard it too. Initially they are planning to give fuel at same price. i think that is to counter Euro3 issued by IOC some news sites says octane 90 not available in international market http://www.colombopage.com/archive_13B/Nov04_1383546557JV.php http://www.ft.lk/2013/11/05/cpc-to-import-92-octane-petrol/
  17. Don't get m wrong here but I wanna know your opinion on synthetic over normal ATF (both of above types have Dextron III). Is there any chemical degradation time for Synthetic ATF as you adviced me for Synthetic Engine oil?
  18. The newbie of year title has gone to correct person. He is truly an asset to Autolanka. Congratulations Rumesh.
  19. MD please stay in commissioner of election without getting retirement due to "ATHTHATHIYA"
  20. Thanks VVTI. Another thing, there are two types advertised in SL mobil agent's site Mobil 1 and just ATF. What do you recommend ? I mean when it comes to Engine lubes they say though you are running less still have to change in 6 month as fully synthetics will start chemical break down with time. Is that rule still applies here?
  21. I'm also looking forward to that. Specially home page need new look sooner than later.We are still showing 2009 news most of the are of the home page. Love to see new one with some good suggestions in this http://forum.autolanka.com/topic/13674-autolanka-new-site-2012/
  22. Please sorry for disturb but I have a question relating to this. My car manual says use something equivalent to Dextran III I changed all the fluids of my car (except steering) when I bought it. At that time I had to use C*ltex Tex*matic DIII ( Which was the one previous owner had used ). Now I'm near next ATF change. Please tell me any bad reviews or reliability issues for this brand or shall I move to Mob*l as you all suggested?
  23. OMG its acceleration. From 50 to 240 just about 7sec. No added support for aerodynamics. it's a death trap on the road. God bless on coming vehicles
  24. It is that Lancer ( ? CS3) and that Actyon cab which were repeatedly advertised in AL saying those are the best in it's class but couldn't sell to anyone
  25. That professional's Lancer and Actyon also for contest nice selection MD
