    I see another loophole which would be abused by crooks and the market will be flooding with post 90s vehicles. Then of course the loophole will be closed and no one would be able to bring in even a genuine classic car more than 30years old.

    could be valve seals,piston rings. If it gets worse,recommend to put in the new engine,not try to repair the existing one. The workshops who do machine work with Japanese engines do not know how to work on these heads/blocks.

    what about body parts and spare parts availability?
  4. vag2
    i think not good unless it as a joint model with a Japanese. May be UK-Vauxhall and Aus-Holden have same model and you might be able to get from those countries or their agents in SL.

    is there a pre-supply pump in the fuel tank? In diesel engines same symptoms come when the fuse or pump has issues.

    why not start with something less risky like bikes or 3-wheelers? The current situation is not optimal for cars,especially new cars where prices go up-down and with design defects.

    is the Kia picanto made in India,with weak body structure and low quality steel like the Altos?

    great timing with power cuts to use the budget concessions ?

    yes,downsized engines dont give best mileage on the Highway compared to bigger engines. But should give better mileage in City than 5-6kmpl.(Maybe better after Break-in period?)

    looks like Defender fans are going to get not One,but TWO possible candidates to choose from. Which one will be closer to the original? https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/ineos-will-use-bmw-engines-defender-inspired-suv

    here we go, make sure to put the Thermo couple in a warm place(A$$?) to get the maximum cooling effect.

    Theoretically the reverse function of heating(Cooling) should be realizable if you Reverse the polarity of the seats power supply.

    Budget 2019

    its that time of the year again ?

    Liqy Moly is a well known European product. But I don't think it will fix it if the piston rings are worn out or valve seals/O-rings damaged. But only a bit worn out,might expand the rubber parts and reduce oil burning.

    If you consider the additional costs and headaches that will occur for the maintainance of the hybrid parts, the vitz will be hassle free although smaller.
  16. vag2
    maybe the push start control unit? Get it scanned at the agents

    I think Mercs hold well against time compared to the others,at least most models.

    none of the above are SUVs nor provide smooth comfortable rides. European,US SAVs give smooth ride and handling closer to a car. Its coming from the suspension with many control-arms and mounts.

    I think @The Don helped another member to import a Volvo engine from UK last year. @sampath gunasekara

    get a battery scan done,cost only 100rupees. It will check not only the voltage,but also ability to hold charge (CCA) against the original specifications.

    Is maradaane kaluakka better than Tunmulle Chooti akka? ? Getting serious, the Panda is like marrying a woman with 2 kids, while you may have small orgasmic moments, you will get screwed in places you cannot even think of, and getting parts is a big headache even at the agent.

    This is not rocket science. Fuel quantity is based on Torque demand(calculated based on Pedal position,Vehicle speed etc) If theres no Torque demand, the Injector opening time will be reduced close to 0ms. On highend Euro or US cars however is a more advanced system,where the Control unit can deactivate some cylinders during coasting/cruising(4 cylinders of a V8 engine deactivated)

    meanwhile, Mazda sticks to nonhybrids and focusing on improving gasoline engines. First gasoline with compression ignition released in US. http://europe.autonews.com/article/20181127/COPY/311279914?template=mobile02&X-IgnoreUserAgent=1

    oh,boy. Hope a piece of gunk in the fuel tank doesn't come off by the "magic arishte" from Mr.Potato Estate and block your high pressure fuel pump /fine pitch injector nozzles.
  25. vag2
    Thats common to all Japanese Common rail diesels,due to our hi-sulfur fuel quality. This issue in 2012ish Pajeros is with the Fuel pressure and Temperature sensors. When it comes the vehicle wont start. Temporary solution is to remove the sensor. The vehicle of our "Loku Hamuduruvo" is at the agents for months now.
