  1. I’ve replaced 2 old LG 12k units with latest model LGs last month. New units are made/assemble in India and due to some bilateral agreement with 2 countries Indian units are much cheaper they told me. Anyhow build quality is very good and I’m pleased with the performance. Outdoor units are very quite and without any vibration. They are with new R32 gas and I find them very economical, almost half the consumption compared to old units which were about 12 years old and with R22 gas.
  2. That’s not how it works in the industry as far as I know. You just give the car for a rate daily or monthly. Rest is driver’s business.
  3. If you are regularly remitting your salary from your employment to a bank, they are the best people to ask for a loan. Still it won’t be easy. Good luck! My experience is banks only like your hard earn foreign currency, that’s it.
  4. Lately I’ve seen lot of issues reported with belt auto tensioner in hybrid models. It’s a costly repair, new part about 70k but some establishments offer repair for 15k. However AFAIK A*W model does not have this issue due to different design more suitable for SL conditions.
  5. Talk to Damco as well, they are providing door to door solutions.
  6. Only if they are a charity.
  7. Only from the display indication, not bothered to go any further but from what is left on the tank after returning, I think it’s a fairly reasonable calculation.
  8. This is reasonable. I’ve got 27km/l from Malabe to Matale via Kurunegala and 28 km/l from Matale, both trips on early morning.
  9. Yes and you’ll be surprised by the skills of local artists. Just visit the pola next time, not to buy only looksy. anyway we are definitely not on the same page wrt paintings. Good luck with your search.
  10. You can buy genuine paintings from Kala pola (https://www.kalapola.lk/). unfortunatly you’ve missed the bus for 2018 but good luck with 2019.
  11. Depend on the engine size, smaller engines got less value for 1cc. Usually changes every other budget. we’ve got lot of funny going on here. Come, have fun.
  12. I know, I’ve sourced & changed mine from A*W, couple of years back though.
  13. Wrong. They have 2017 facelift model which is the latest. Oh with new tax system it cost over 17 mil so they don’t expect any sales hence no ex-stock.
  14. What did you findout about Premium? I have a JDM model so no reason for me to check with A*W but I’ll help to compare 2 models. when I bought mine (05/2017) A*W did not import this model but if they had I’d defiantly buy from them, just FYI.
  15. Are you referring to average fuel economy Gayan? Mine is 10.2 km/l, never reset so far. How about the fuel economy report as in this picture? I usually get about 10 km/l in CMB city even in heavy traffic. Outstation (non highway) about 14 & highway about 18. Definitely it does better than my previous Chevy Cruze which did about 8 average. recently my brother borrowed my xtrail as his Premio met with an accident. His itinerary is pretty routine traveling to same places on same time of the day. At the end of the week his fuel cost was exactly double than what he usually spent on his premio. I didn’t ask the mileage but that’s a pretty decent comparison I guess.
  16. According to a car importer CH-R Petrol version will be about 7.5 mil.
  17. Land cruiser tax up by over 12 million and so will the politicians vehicle permits?

  19. I’m using a Xtrail and average Colombo city consumption is about 10 km/l. Best was 19.5 km/l, from Malabe to Matale via Kurunegala at late night. Sometimes consumption is only 3.5 km/l for city/short driving + idle running when my toddler is sleeping in the car while I’m doing grocery shopping. Colleague of mine got 22 km/l as best on his Xtrail. Point is there are too many variables and judging consumption without setting them is not fair for any Vehicle isn’t it?
  20. Nwe CR-V with small (1.5 Ltr??) turbo engine? Slightly above 10 mil though.
  21. Your opinions or facts? Proven how? Where in the world (literally) you get consistent wind speeds? not all solar panels available in SL are substandard and do you know brand considered #1 in the world (domestic installations) also available in SL?
