Something that his trustworthy friend and supplier didn't/couldn't do. (Translating) Although being in the business.

I'm guessing we're having 'the annual troll on Autolanka 2015 edition'.

Never ever do that. 121 and 240 compressors are clutch driven and the 260 compressors are clutch-less variable displacement. 260 compressors tend to fail. When that happens some cheap asses bypass the electronics, gets a recon 121/240 compressor modifies it and fits it. Its larger compared to clutch-less compressor so will need some modifications. But believe me it won’t last long and will probably fall apart on the long run. Also it won’t give the same efficiency as the original compressor. So if the issue really is due to a failing compressor your best bet is to replace with a Jap recon 260 compressor. About a year ago, I replaced mine for 33,000/= including labour.

Hi does anyone in Sri Lanka own a Galant VR4 or knows anyone who does? Thank you!

Actually there are two different liquids carb cleaner and EFI cleaner. Difference is carb cleaner is some what stronger than the EFI cleaner and might harm the sensors .

At lower range, its very difficult to read the right idle RPM. Is your car vibrating? Is it emitting smoke? Is it low on fuel economy? If you are not facing any of these problems, why worry? Anyway you can get the injectors/throttle body etc. cleaned up. You can do it yourself. If the car has absolutely no issues, just use an in-tank injector cleaner and a spray carb cleaner. Sorry, I don't know any place in Negombo area but Toyota Lanka is in Wattala which is not too far away. Some valuable information for you:

one of my best friends bought one despite our protests bugger doesn't drive much so he didn't run into any trouble yet. I mean it hasnt given him any pains so far but its been about a year...On the plus side it's dirt cheap (900k i think for a 2007ish sorry I don't remember I did my best to forget it ) but when it comes for your turn to sell it you would have to give it for even less. Its difficult to like those cars and they are very very noisy... just like an Indian

Once you say good bye... please don't come back. It will be so out of your class if you do.

There are no Night breakers or premium bulbs for parking, however based on the type of socket you have, you can replace them for a set of LEDS; you can find osrams etc but will be expensive, but a generic chinese led set off ebay would do fine in sorting out the colour Mostly OEM DRLs turn off / dimm out when the main lights of the car are turned on, If you do decide to wire in DRL, use a relay to break the circuit once the headlamps are on, as for how it looks, its a matter of taste and how much you are wiling to invest. These mods will cost between $10-$20 online or even local, so do experiment, and do post pics

That would be a very expensive tool bag but then again would the masses know that a Porsche's trunk is in the front ? So I guess they went with whatever worked for the masses' minds/perceptions

Yes, it doesnt have good second hand market and Yes, its a piece of shit, an ugly piece of shit. These cars produce a lot of electrical issues. They simply refuse to start some of the time. you would be better off with a older japanese car. There is a very good reason why these old tata's are cheap. They are shit.
