This is regarding Ssangyong Korando of one of my friends. 60000 km done.....
The vehicle failed to start suddenly with Check Engine light on. As recommended by the agent, the matter was temporary solved after loosening the fuel cap and then start. The agents' suspicion was the blocked bleeder valve of the fuel tank. Without taking the vehicle to the agent it was got checked by a authorized garage in Kandy. They could not found any blockage but changed the oil filter at a cost of 14,000 Rs.
The problem has not been solved. As usual, after costing 14,000 Rs, the option left by the garage is to take the vehicle to the Agent saying a problem of a sensor. We observed that this issue comes up for stop and go events and the vehicle starts normally after 15 after the stop. otherwise, often to start we need to loose the fuel cap and start.
Officially joined the thel-hinganna normie horde with ....drumroll... a 2025 Vezel... I am eagerly anticipating joining the 'thel keeyak karanawada' debates at almsgivings.
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....
...and just like that from having parking space issues a few month's back I'm car-less.
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?
