  1. Nissan pulsar hatch back
  2. we had a slimiler issues in a Alto because we had to go thru 18 humps (safety conscious neighbors) each day, so the EPS did not work as the front bar was bent so put the suspension new do not agree to put old parts. i think the part was - "torsion bar" I think.
  3. the gearbox is CVT or DCT looking at one
  4. We had 2 Susuki alto -2 and Suzuki 800 and charade they all had the came issue after 150000 Km 660 - 1000cc cars. They stated puffing blue smoke so we sold them quick. the new engines have start stop as well and some are turbos so the engine has do a lot more.
  5. Rexton motors - maradan fire station they are good. A few weeks ago they did mine cost was Rs 1000.
  6. Hello darrel still at the bank ?? go for new GP5 2016
  7. when they checked the car battery condition i was there, and they did not even open the engine. Stafford guy did a scan under the steering wheel and kept the engine running. there seems to be a lot of misleading information about hybrid cars but well looked after once have less trouble.

    Kelisa

    Daihatsus and kelisa is the same thing. only problem is kelisa engine is a 3 cylinder 1000 cc one so be care full after 125000 miles it tend to blow blue smoke that then you will have to get a new ring set. We had many susuki alto,800, and Daihatsu charades and new Audi and the civic too will have this issue.

    Kelisa

    if you can come to kohuwala when you go towards dehiwala in front of cargills you get spare parts shop they specialize in Daihatsu parts
  10. I have a GP1 I am the first owner. and in april i got the battery checked by Stafford and it gave 75%. My car is used daily and it at home and at office it sits in a nice par park. so the 75% battery is good but if you park in the hot sunshine all the time the battery gets drained
  11. Irage know it all !!!!
  12. The A*W service is shit. My father used to take his alto there and the service person said the timing belt has to be chained at 100,000 miles. BUT THE CAR HAS A TIMING CHAIN. so next time I took the car and told me to show the timing belt?? and the stupid A*W mechanic looked at the the engine and scratched his head and said this car has a timing chain. Susuki alto 2004 32S engine has timing chains!!!! when you open the oil filler you can see it!!!

    Japan alto

    good car, wife's alto 2016 does 20-24 kmpl. on the long distances the TINY car is not stable and the driving position is not good. A good car for the city. The auto shut down is better to be kept of as the 3 cylinder makes a big noise when stating etc.
  14. Sri lanka police only do when a green note exchanges hands only!!!! So give way to the 3 wheeler and the buses. Sad state of affairs.
  15. This should be stopped, A lot of Am* drivers put the AC and just wait in the car for hours, the amount of pollution this generates is a lot. There are mothers with children who do this as well. Police should ban this but our cops .
  16. I was given a ticket/fine for hitting a vehicle from the back and had to appear in court, do not get a lawyer they are a complete waist of money, just accept the charge and pay the money. do not hire a lawyer!!!! just take a friend with you and he will have to pay the fine and show the receipt to the cop, then you will be released !!!!
  17. I also had the oil burning issue at 54K the Stafford guys said the had done about 75K in japan. now the car has done 72K. they changed the rings and it was 60 for the repair Mr Guruge of staffords did the repair and now its ok. they said the FIT and the insights have the same engine and both have the problems. 1330 CC
  18. very true "clarkson"
  19. Try Asiri Motors panckawatta
  20. alto rear in not good the lights are way down It should be moved up like the viva, otherwise large vehicles don't see you.
  21. what I said was that the all the 660 kie cars have almost the same engine, because the output is limited.
