Malaka2 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 I used genuine parts from toyota lanka.. Coz there's no reconditioned parts available for this model.. Piston rings and gasket imported from japan directly.. Gasket cost Rs.9000 All 6 piston rings Rs 22000 and 4 pencil ignition coil I bougt from toyota lanka and it cost 45000 and other 2 i imported from my friend in singapore and it cost 20000. Full t-belt kit with razor also replaced and it cost me 15000. My mechanic guy is very goodman, all fittings were done by him self and he asked 9000 for all.. Last tune up done by mag city in kandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaka2 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 My machanic guy is a son of my father's cousing brother.. He worked in dubai for past 3 years and just come for SL, and when the job was started, he doesn't have any tools for the work.. But thanks to his friend he manage to get some tools from his friend's place.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaka2 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 I know macho, this car model is very rare in sri lanka.. But in brazil and jameica its widely used for taxi services.. So in japan also it can get with low as half of this.. But what to do? No time to contact anyone in there and I don't think that I have.

Actually I replaced the 4 on my BM recently Genuine BM parts - Power ERA coils - 4 cost me 6000 + 2000 shipping from UK Courtesy of Ebay. It pays to keep an eye open. I had got 4 and kept a while back - then suddenly blew one - engine was stuttering - diags revealed that Coilpack no 1 was non functional. Useful to have a couple spare cause its a common problem on the petrol bm;s. Cheers, Edited March 9, 2010 by MadMMX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
