  1. If anyone's interested, the same camera is available on eBay for about 2200 bucks less. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-HD-1080P-Dash-Camera-G-sensor-Night-Vision-DVR-Video-Driving-Recorder-8G-SD-/272246609912?fits=Make%3AMini&hash=item3f632997f8:g:C4QAAOSwboVXO-f~&vxp=mtr
  2. I'm interested in getting one as well, I have a high pressure tap water line. Does this have any difference compared with a basic spray nozzle? Does the pressure increase to a certain extent or is it the same?
  3. My apologies, didn't really mean to call him that, was quoting a statement in the video itself. @PreseaLover sorry mate, couldn't control myself Agreed, everyone is considering fixing a dashcam these days considering the possible advantages available with a small investment of around 5k. Not to forget the CCTV cameras fixed in front of shops and roads. No offense to PL, but there are so many people breaking traffic laws every single day, some them are even available on video as proof. Why does the Sri Lankan traffic police stay until a pedestrain gets run over to watch these videos? Then they release these videos to the media to raise awareness, but the damage has already been done, an innocent has been heavily injured or is already dead. If they can take action before these incidents happen and introduce a point system or something similar, the number of accidents will vastly reduce. Plus Sri Lankan roads will be a lot more safe and enjoyable to drive on.
  4. Once an as*hole, always an as*hole! haha
  5. It probably won't start a fire due to the sun while driving, but if you leave your car parked under the direct sun for several hours then you have a problem. How about using windscreen shades? You can protect the interior from fading as well.
  6. Looks okay for a low end camera to me, considering that it costs about 1/4th the price of a branded dash cam. Did you change the video quality to 720p from settings?
  7. Thanks for posting the video, now we know where you live The video quality (@720p HD resolution) seems good for the price, do you have a video you recorded at night?
  8. Yap, a high end camera will come in handy if you had to zoom in on a number or plate or someting in case of an emergency.
  9. +1. I second that. You shouldn't have given it away with the car bung, aparade. One more thing you should note is that most of the chinese cameras advertised on ebay which have Full HD, 1080p, HDMI etc mentioned provide decent quality, but aren't actually HD. For a camera to be HD, it should have at least 720 or 1080 horizontal resolution, so make sure you look at the actual resolution if you want a high quality camera. The camera you have linked has a recording resolution of 1280x480 which is standard definition (SD) video. Say for example you buy a low end and a high end camera which can record in 1080p HD, both will capture the video in HD, but what matters is the compression applied by the camera on the recorded video. The low end camera will have a higher compression, hence more discarded video data which results in a lower quality video, whereas the high end camera will have a lower compression, hence less discarded video data which results in a higher quality video. So ultimately even though the resolution is the same for both the low end and the high end camera, you don't get the same video quality. If you're on a budget, a basic chinese SD camera is fine, but if you want full HD quality, try to go for a slightly higher end camera with a recognized brand. I saw several Transcend dashcams advertised on sites like *ow.lk and m*store.lk for around 20k.
  10. ^Agree with the gentlemen above, its better to be safe than sorry.
  11. What's the jeep, if you don't mind me asking?

  13. So you gave up stalking on Preseas and have started hunting down ghosts?
  14. All these 3 cars have been discussed in excess. Please use the "search" function or use the links below. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#safe=active&q=site:forum.autolanka.com+swift+cruze https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aforum.autolanka.com+vitz&oq=site%3Aforum.autolanka.com+vitz&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i58.2045j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
  15. Take a look at this:
  16. If you can recreate the sound while the engine is off, something is probably loose inside the dashboard, but the environment temperature shouldn't have an effect on this. If you get everything done at the agents, stick to them instead of a random mechanic.
  17. No, you don't need to take the vehicle to Unit#d Mot#rs, any decent auto electrician can fix it. Check the fuse associated with the cigarette lighter socket.
  18. Now this is too badass!

    ABCD

    What made you think that the ECU is causing your A/T to slip gears?
  20. There's nothing wrong with the ES series, I know a person using an ES8 for sometime without any issues. The spares are somewhat expensive, but that's common for all Hondas. The high prices of the ek3's and 110's are due to the mindset of the typical sri lankan sellers who think that cars more than 20 years old are still worth 2mil.
  21. Its hard to drive a trailer here, unless you plan driving on open roads. There'll be a bunch of people who'll end up honking you for no reason. Changing lanes and making turns at junctions would also be somewhat difficult as the people who are willing to give way are reducing exponentially. Doesn't a double cab suffice your needs?
  22. Maybe the chassis was made here, but the other parts probably came as a kit. They hired some guys to wield the chassis and fix the parts properly. More photos; http://www.vilanguwa.info/2016/06/made-in-srilanka-cars.html
  23. I remember people complaining about WiFi causing headaches and cancer back in 2010 or so when it started getting popular.
  24. A strict rule is followed when wiring houses, only a direct wire is allowed to be used from one point to another. Say for example, a wire from a switch to a lamp cannot have 2 joint wires under any circumstance even though the joint can be insulated with electrical tape. If you care about your safety, make sure that the correct gauge of wire is used and that every joint is soldered with soldering iron (to prevent rust) and covered with heat shrink tubing.
  25. Maybe you don't get the point because you didn't read his entire post, he currently owns a Bluebird Sylphy 2011. @bid87 - If you intend to buy a vehicle for daily usage, try to stick with the newer models (YOM 2010 onwards). The Prado is one masterpiece of a vehicle, but it'll be hard to find a vehicle with YOM 2002 that has been maintained properly. Try to avoid the ones used by politicians and "mudalalis".
