  2. We all know every form of investment comes with its own risk if dealing with a legitimate broker, but it's an entirely different ball game when dealing with a fake broker, it always ends with you losing it all. Bitcoin investment is meant to be smooth and direct, but a whole lot of people have turned it to be a means of depriving innocent people of their hard-earned money. In a situation like this, all you need is a reputable recovery Agent to help you recover your Bitcoin.Recovery is very possible as long as one is making use of a very good professional and reliable recovery Agent. Just last month I almost got conned of 98,450 USD by a fake broker I met on a Google ad who promised me high returns on my investment only to discover it was all deceit. The funny thing is that these people once they scam you, they usually stop replying after achieving their aim and this hurts even more. I read about BEST RECOVERY on Quora about someone with the same situation. emailed him for his services. I gave out all the details that he requested and he gave me his word that he’ll get back my funds. He reached out to me after 12 hours requesting to send my wallet to transfer my funds. He actually recovered my funds, something I thought would never happen. Get in touch with him through his email: Bestrecovery890 (AT)gmai l com.
  3. Yesterday
  4. Another price update (508 1.6thp) Engine bottom mounts-35,000 New solenoids and misc on starter motor-18,000. New motor is 100k plus. A/C Blower unit- 50k as told. Will update. Cooling fan- 105k. Got me a mint recon from dubai for 45k. Mine is going through a full mechanical restoration due to being parked for months on end and a rat attack. Almost two months now. So far runs like a dream, Electronics are being looked into atm. Please use a covered garage and never let it sit on rain when possible. Also try to drive these cars as much as possible. Mine drove < 5000kms in 2022 and 800kms in 2023, that did not end well. The more you drive the less it actually goes wrong. Guy I know has a 3008 with 25k thats a real leda goda, another fella with a 100k plus 3008 runs like a biatch. Some parts mentioned were replaced for preventive maintenance.
  5. Agreed not bad at all. The agents are absolute trash. I remember reading that thread of you test driving one. Nice cars but can be finicky if neglected.
  6. The problem is most likely related to the transmission oil cooler you can check the location of the leak by applying pressure to the system. If this is indeed the problem, then you need to replace the transmission oil cooler. then thoroughly flush the cooling system to remove all remaining oil. after all this it would be good to check the transmission and engine.
  7. The brake pads may need to be replaced if squeaking occurs during or after braking. or worn wheel bearings. also check the shock absorbers, maybe they need to be replaced
  8. My Nissan n16 makes creaking sounds when driving.It is very subtle but it annoys me.what could it be it only occurs when driving with some load i think it sound like metal parts brushing against
  9. Thanks for your feedback. Yes it is too hard to give an idea without listening. By the way, I will check it. Thanks
  10. Uhh..it could be something like the ABS actuator or something getting activated. In which case it is quite normal (in some newer cars you would even here a hissing sound coming from the car after you have turned it off and walked away from it because of systems like the EVAP system getting depressurized). Sounds/noises are really hard to comment on without actually listening to the sound and trying to trace it to what is creating it. So...it could be something normal as above (which is highly likely) or something totally different.
  11. Again...I would not say its possible nor would I say you can't. Sorry, really not an answer to your question. If your engine is in good health and you do normal low-intensity runs with the engine coming to proper operating temperature, then yes you would increase the possibility of getting closer to 10K. But the reality is that the quality of the fuel, quality of air being induced into the engine, etc... would also affect this. So, although the oil might suggest 10K and you do low intesity, low stress runs, in reality, this would actually reduce. So...it is all very contextual. The reality is that everyone, from the manufacturers to garages to service stations, gives you a standard recommendation because that would be the safest way to go about it. Otherwise, they would have to come up with 1000 different oil change recommendations, one for each of their customers. So, it is best to figure out what is best for your car by actually studying/observing it.
  12. Last week
  13. I have Toyota Corolla 2003 car. I noticed, when the car key is turn on (without start the engine) a noise is generated. It just like mechanical sound. It happens very first time. This noise is stopped within 2 or 3 seconds. After that, everythings are working well. So, can you help me to identify what sound is that ?
  14. So you mean using this oil we can run 10,000km if it is not harsh driving conditions like heavy traffic? (It is Toyota synthetic oil)
  15. I don't trust people who are selling, So I did not care about the mileage. But got it checked by an agent. But not from Toy#ta L#nka. Going further with the issue I am having, As there is no oil lever up I top up with 4T loose oil, After adding two liters this is the level it shows. Also, that strange sound is gone.
  16. Were you aware or had suspicions about this matter before buying the car? It's sad that people think low mileage cars demand better rather than taking good care, properly maintain and keep it genuine.
  17. Well....I don't know the condition of your car, but in my Mark X driving from Pelawatte to Bambalapitiya in the thick of traffic; I was comfortable doing 7500-8000km oil change intervals on a synthetic oil. 5000km on synthetic oil might be a bit of an overkill, but then, depending on the condition of the engine, it might be needed. I would say start off with an 8k or so interval, see how the car does. Engine condition : things below can and will effect the condition of the oil: oil burn rate, combustion efficiency [less than optimal burn can contribute to carbon deposits], engine compression [oil might seep into cylinders creating carbon], sludge level, condition of gaskets and oil seals.
  18. Thanks alot for the prompt response. I will be using in heavy traffic during rush hours from Rajagiriya to Fort. I guess that's the best traffic there can be in the island..:) I guess a check up at every 5K would be more ideal for my situation right, or rather a change of oil. Even the previous owner has been using the same route to travel can not understand the logic behind every 10K change. Probably the agent recommended to do so with an inspection at the oil levels every 5k. When you say get the oil inspected at 5k, does that mean whether the oil levels have gone down or to check for a change in quality/color levels. Thanks
  19. Thanks for your thoughts guys, The engine is tuned up, and no black smoke either. I used 10W-30 oil when I changed, The mileage is 140K, Of course, it might have run more than that probably because the seller has changed the meter. The car oil indicator did not warn me about this I think the bulb was removed too, So I plan to top up the engine with the same oil and take the car to the garage. I will update you guys with their opinions.
  20. Synthetic oils have a use life of about 10,000kms under normal use. Trust me a daily used car in Colombo traffic or a car that just does short runs most the time is not going to qualify as normal use. So even with synthetics you might still have to change it at a shorter interval than 10,000km (under hard use most sythetic oil manufacturers suggest a 7500km change...so it won't be as short as intervals for a normal mineral oil). Again, it depends on your use of the car. If the car is used occasionally and each drive typically is enough for the oil to heat up to operating temperature, then a 10,000km change with an inspection (change if needed) at 5000k is fine. In Japan that is what I do with my cars (even the 25 year old Corolla after switching to synthetic oils). On each car I only do about 300km a month so what gets me most is the shelf life of the oil (synthetic oils have a life span of about 1 year and mineral oils about 6 months...give or take). So oil gets changed once every 10-12 months and gets inspected every 5 to 6 months. Again...it is totally dependant on your use. For the previous owner that schedule might have been perfectly fine and fine for the car. You need to tell us how you plan to use the car so we can have a discussion if a similar schedule would work for you
  21. Yes....but it would be fairly obvious with all kinds of smoke and smells. I wonder how the water lines are. Sorry you have to go through this in your fairly new car. I hope it is getting sorted out. Apart from some of the reasons I cited above, you might also have a case where the oil is actually leaking into the gearbox housing through a worn rear-end crank seal. The oil has to go somewhere...so it either gets burnt, sludged/gel'd up or leaked out.

  23. @Buccinator you had non smooth drive and unusual vibrations while driving ? How much did it cost you to replace ? I had the same warning lights while I drive, I couldn't take reverse since the vehicle was vibrating too much. In addition I could see Engine warning sign too Anyone had the same issue with Vezel 2014 ?
  24. 🤣🤣 🤣🤣 🤣🤣 🤣🤣 🤣🤣 Oh..sorry..that was rude... uhh...no...maintaining popup lights is a pain like you have never imagined Actuators, relays...they are all pretty much out of production and have been so for like decades. Popular models like AE86 Truenos, RX7s, etc...have after market reproductions that cost an arm and a leg and the kidneys of your first born and your first grand child. Even then those who cannot be bothered just convert them in to fixed headlamps. When these go bad you are at the mercy of a good electrician/electrical-wizard to sort it out for you using alternative parts. It's cool to say you have pop-up lights, but they are a pain to maintain and lack practicality. As for the other parts....you are going to have a similar problem with whatever old 80s, 90s or older car you get. Even for cars like 80s Corollas, Sunny,etc..body parts are becoming an issue. The exception are cars like the KE72 DX wagons, Lancer wagons, E100 Corollas etc...where they sold them buy ship loads around the planet and have a large aftermarket parts supply. Obviously the rarer (i.e. sold less number of units by the manufacturer) the car is the harder it will be to find these parts (sadly the Astina, Integra fall into this category). Going back to the pop-up light car...normal body parts are a bit easier to come by than the pop-up light as things like door handles, switches would have been used in other models of the period. Body panels..since most are actual metal you need a good tinkering guy to beat it our and fix it properly. Lights will be a hard to come by item. So no...don't expect to walk in to a speciality store or any body shop to find a stock of parts for these cars. You will have to walk, beg, cry, yell, walk more to find these parts.
  25. If I am on my learners permit still but can drive well and I decide to remove my L boards and drive, what is the fine price for doing that?
  26. If I am on a learners permit but can drive well and I remove the L boards and drive,What’s the fine for going without the L boards?
  27. That sounds like a real headache with your revenue license. Dealing with important documents like this can be stressful, especially when relying on someone else to follow through. It's frustrating that the previous owner hasn't sent the original license despite assurances. While navigating through this ordeal, if you ever find yourself in need of a backup form of identification, you can explore options like visiting fakeyourdrank.com. Although unrelated to your current situation, it's good to know where to find such resources for potential future needs.
