I have a vitz ILL 1.3 since 2010. Reliable car. Two years ago my HID headlamps were troubling me and I replaced with new units meant for the equiv Yaris. The new headlamps were for Halogen bulbs. I changed the wiring slightly without cutting wires to suit the halogens. Now, two years later I find that I cant adjust the level of the lamp units. Looks like the units come with auto headlamp levellers. Now the options open to me are to buy two new levellers or switch back to the original expensive HIDs. What would you recommend? Is there a place in Colombo where I can buy used headlamps ie with HID bulbs, levellers and ballasts?
Is there an alternative to the Maruti 800? A friend of mine is looking for an extremely cheap to run and fix car for around 1.5M. While I do advocate old Japanese cars in that budget - if his need is basic A-B motoring at the lowest possible cost - maintenance wise and with fuel - is there any other option that I am forgetting?
Does anyone know how exactly this is supposed to work? They haven’t really started brand new imports again right?
Pricing seems relatively fine in the grand scheme of things, given how 10/15 year old cars are still pretty expensive in our market
A guy advertises a mileage blocker on the quick site saying that his device blocks the vehicle mileage from changing on the odometer. Is it legal to advertise stuff like this?
Bought a 2007 (Reg 2011) Vitz SCP90 (Mileage 180K+) for the family (will be used by my father). Seems to be in good condition but had some new owner repairs/replaces done to have a free mind.
