Yes...like everyone else said it is about high time you did a tune up </p></blockquote> What is the optimum milege to do a full tune-up? ( for a B/N vehicle)
  2. Axio doing 19-20? I say fill her up with vitriol and try again.
  3. Maybe your car comes with a factory-fitted immobilizer. If that is the case, they provide a keytag with a number carved on it, or, your driver's instruction manual should state a unique "key number" or such. Can't remember exactly. Request a new key from stafford motors stating that unique number. They should be able to bring down a spare key for you.
  4. Nice! They should bring down Mitsubishi Mirage 999CC variant too. Wayyyy better buy than vitz, passo etc etc.
  5. <quote>Assuming you are from Kandy, I can recommend Viskam motors at Kohombiliwela, from Matale about 2 km towards Kandy (Kandy -Matale road). Very satisfactory workmanship and I personally know many happy customers including myself. They handle insuarance stuff as well.</Quote> But I thought as agents they would have the original paint and the correct color that used in Mitsubishis. I'll give viskam a call too.
  6. <quote>When it comes to workmanship it becomes worse, during my visits to the company i witnessed that some cars are painted outside with out using the paint booth. when it comes to my car there was over spray of clear coat and very bad deposit of paint residues from other vehicles. Finally the paint they have used is inferior quality and it got faded very fast.</quote> hapoi what to do now... The deepest scratch is on a side of the front bumper, black plastic is clearly visible. I thought I should paint minor scratches in back bumper while I'm at it. They said they are going to remove all the paint from bumpers and repaint again. So that means they will be removing factory-spec paint. I was thinking as Mitsubishi agents they would atleast have correct paint for vehicles they sell. Now if the agents themselves are using inferior quality paint - I am doomed. They quoted Rs. 7000 for repainting the rear bumper of CS3 - (paid by the insurance) is this too cheap? I'm just trying to figure out if they are going to use cheap paint.
  7. Guys, I have some deep scratches on both my bumpers so I decided to get them re-painted. I'm considering UM kandy to get this done. They checked the color codes and they say they have the correct color. And they have a paint booth. Do any of you have any experience with their body painting section? Are they good?
  8. Mazda 3 (5.1M) or Lancer EX (4.8M)
  9. Use imgur

  11. I, too, have a scratch on side of my front bumper, Should I repaint the whole buffer or will I be able to get away with painting only the affected part of the bumper?

    2Din Dvd Player Help

    Thanks don.
  17. Watched Taxi 1 (1998) and Taxi 2 (2000) today. Good comedies.
  18. Autolankans, I'm looking for a good 2DIN DVD player for my car. My budget is 50k (max). Can you guys recommend me any particular brand? What is the brand you are using - and are you satisfied with it? Are chinese ones reliable? Requirements: 1. Main requirement is the reversing camera. 2. GPS 3. Entertaintment 4. USB 5. iPod connection Car in question is a Lancer CS3 GLX (2009). To install reversing camera, should they cut electrical lines or are there factory - fitted ports for plug-and-play? I'm asking because I'm worried about fire hazard due to a shoddy job by whoever installs it. Should I buy the player elsewhere and get that fitted by agents? (Uni*ed M*t*rs) Your assistance is greatly appreciated. J.E.
  19. What if someone suggest a non-toyota vehicle in the same price bracket which exceeds both of those cars when it comes to your reqirements - would you still go for one of above cars? You want a toyota that badly? Just curious...

  21. <blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="Crosswind" data-cid="269668" data-time="1418316544"><p> <br /> I remember ramishkad because he bought a hybrid civic with 'sterling' warranty and got the battery of the hybrid system replaced by them. After that he was full of praises for 'sterling'.<br /> <br /> Few weeks later, his gearbox went bust and he was asked to f*ck off in true 'sterling' style <br /> </p></blockquote> Really? I searched google for "sterling gearbox ramishkad site:forum.autolanka.com and nothing came up :/ what's this gearbox story?
  22. Wow, Nice! I saw the advert too. @iRage, According to advert, it's an automatic TT. Muditha, you should post more pics on your carina GT thread (or open a new thread) for our viewing pleasure *_*
  23. <blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="Muditha420"> @iRage - yeah she isn't with me now, moved on to another more different sorta animal </p></blockquote> So what's your new ride Muditha?
