Recently, got the opportunity to see and get inside of The one and only Japanese V12, Toyota Century(a.k.a Japanese Rolls Royce). Is it really upto Rolls Royce standards? Nope, I don't think so. Items like Switches and mirror housings are in plastic. But, we can be assured that the dashboard will not light up like Christmas and would run forever....· 1 reply

...and just like that from having parking space issues a few month's back I'm car-less.· 2 replies
The cost of renting something for a month or two (even more - personal imports have been quite messy of late) made me wonder if it actually makes sense to buy a quickly disposable car and get rid of it in a couple of months - but it seems the 'popular' models aren't moving. A few messages to sellers (registered owners) on marketplace resulted in them sending me daily price reduction updates.

Sleepless nights have begun. I'm twisting between SL320 and SL500. Should I just pay additional 2000 euros more and go for the SL500 and go broke or settle with a SL320?· 1 reply

Question
bart simpson
Hi Guys,
We recently bought a 2004 Kia Piccanto (1086cc, auto, 45000km, one owner) for my wife. However, this car has now developed a gear box issue where it revs up in gear without actually moving. The car feels like it is in neutral even though it is in gear. I think it is something to do with the torque converter or the electrical unit that controls the torque converter.
I contacted Kia Motors (Car Plan) but they have been little help and are unable to have a look at the car as they are fully booked out for quite a while to come. I will also need to tow it there as the car cannot be driven. As a result I have handed it over to the local mechanic who has come up with various theories and has sent the gearbox over to a 'friend' for repair. I have little faith that the issue will be resolved by this guy.
Does anyone know of where I could buy or import a used gear box for a Kia Piccanto? I guess I should have just bought a vitz or a march, where parts would have been easier to source, but we decided to leave the herd and are now paying the price.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Bart
