Hi @AVANTE I saw you comprehensive answer on Peugeot 406. So I submit a question and if you could, could you have a look on my post(· 0 replies
) I would like to have your opinion on that. So my obvious choice was Peugeot 406 D9 diesel one. but what i heard was, probability of some one selling it due to considerable issues, and it has hard time of reselling and repairing and spare pats finding and cost may considerably high. Seeking advice on this.
Thank you

Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 4 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

I was watching a Yangwang U8 struggling to make it up a muddy hill on Youtube. I was wondering why cant an EV be more capable off road than an ICE vehicle. Given the fact that this behemoth has 4 individual motor on each wheel it should be able to direct power to the wheel that has more grip and stop power to the slipping wheel. Cant be rocket science right?· 3 replies

Question
JadeyBlitzen
I was having a wicked day in colombo when i noticed a tiny oil leak. just below the front bumper
so i opened the bonnet and inspected the whole engine bay. and weirdly all the oil seemed be leaking out of the radiator reserve tank. so i popped the radiator cap expecting the worst. and i was right. oil started gushing out of the top
so i'm guessing the gaskets are ruined from inside the engine. mixing oil with coolant. i'll know for sure tomorrow morning.
what i'm trying to figure out is how this happened. first of all this engine (a toyota 2c) was rebuilt a month ago. and i heard after the build the mechanic topped up the engine with 6 L of oil claiming its a new engine and since the engine was empty more oil was needed than the standard 4.5 L capacity to reach the f mark on the dipstick.
i was also told to drive a bit gingerly for the first few thousand kms. which i perfectly understood as the engine needs to be run in. however i must admit i've revved it over 3000 rpm quite a few times (the redlines at 5200). which i dont think would have had any effect on this.
my idea is it would have been
a ) some poor quality gasket
b ) having too much oil in the engine
what do you guys think?
