  1. While that sounds good on paper when you realize the car isn't moving the reflexive reaction is to depress the accelerator harder Conventional automatics are much smoother in similar situations. Either they move without complain or start doing a burnout!
  2. Normal behavior of Toyota CVTs when driving on steep inclines (that are steep enough to make the car roll back if you don't use the brake)
  3. Come on, don't be like that. Didn't you enjoy TopGear back in its glory days? Episodes with shouting and bashing things were the most entertaining ones
  4. Assuming they were being truthful they must be replacing the internal transmission fluid filter due to possible shavings from the break-in period (or something like that)
  5. Well it really isn't the dishonesty of them but the stupidity of people who are ready to pay whatever price they quote to own an Allion/Premio
  6. It seems like the thieves aren't aware that you need to depress the brake in order to change gear of an automatic ? Reuploaded to YT because FB videos get hidden for some reason Warning : Explicit Language (Sinhala)
  7. "That's like saying the ocean is just water! Or, or the Krabby Patty's just a... a... a sandwich!"
  8. Wow SLIC has driven their prices up. My premium at c******o V*P is 75k for a 3.5m cover and no increase of premium no matter how many claims (instead I lose the NCB for that year)
  9. Along with the mileage? I hope not
  10. Happened to me in Kurunegala. I ended up on a road which ran through a coconut cultivation at about 1am in the night. Not sure if it was a private road though. Had to chase away cows left to graze in the middle of the road because I had come too far to reverse (the road was badly pot-holed too) and there was no room to turn the car around. Imagine a guy yelling "hui, hui!" in the middle of the night waving a tree branch around because the cows were too stubborn (or too sleepy, idk) to be cowed by me honking and revving the engine ? tl;dr : eff GPS
  11. I don't even blame them for that, if I was a 580 owner I too would lose sleep thinking how to get rid of the POS without incurring a major loss
  12. As a loyal UNIMO customer I can't believe how they'd make such a clusterfu_k out of a car they imported. As if Transmission replacements weren't enough, they're going to mess with the chassis too to accommodate a different engine?
  13. @vitz pumps 92 into his 2018 C-HR too and has carbon deposits in his tailpipe more than my 5-year old 95-pumped Lancer So I'm guessing that octane rating of the fuel doesn't have much, if anything, to do with this carbon deposits blocking fuel injectors
  14. Bet they replace the inner transmission fluid filter which needs complete disassembly of the transmission to get to
  15. In that case, the holy workshop manual dictates that you should take a "Luminous Intensity Measurement". HIDs are complicated asf to troubleshoot it seems
  16. Well it sounds easy enough on paper As long as you heed the warnings and precautions that is
  17. I have the perfect antidote! Bet no one would want to buy an 121 after seeing this. This is the kind of people who'd own an 121.
  18. I'm guessing 6AM, apart from the factors @Kavvz mentioned the AC would be working under minimum load due to high humidity in cooler environment
  19. The automotive world in SL is screwed up in a way that you can't expect diligent service from a mechanic, you can't expect justice from a traffic police officer, you can't expect sanity from another driver/pedestrian who shares the road with you and you can't expect a seller not to go to the extreme extent in order to fleece as much as possible out of you... so it pays to be prudent and look up the vehicle you're going to buy in every humanly possible way
  20. Yes the term is justlow Vans that are designed to transport goods instead of passengers are the ones called "justlow" variants. Those have a flat rear floor in order to make loading and transporting stuff easy... rear wheels tend to be smaller, rear ride height would be higher,rear suspension would be different so the ride is relatively less comfortable and the bodyroll is more pronounced than the passenger variant (some say they can identify which is which after a quick drive even if its modified to look like a normal variant like @irage said.) I've heard that you can use a VIN decorder to differentiate a justlow variant from a normal variant
  21. Correct! Your turn
  22. Johnway SUV imported by Unit#d Mot#rs. The unimo workshop which I get my maintenance done had one of these for almost an year dusting away in a corner for some reason
