  1. Thanks a lot for the great explanation....!!!!!
  2. Hi, I have a Japanese Swift 2008 with nearly 42K Milage. No issues with the car and maintained well. I hope to sell it and move for a Hybrid Like Aqua or Fit GP5.(with fuel economy in mind) But, after reading some posts; it seems that Hybrids may not be that economical in long run. Hybrid battery issues Fuel economy is not that much, etc Can somebody enlighten me on this issue: Is it really worth ? Please help me Dear experts !!!
  3. Thanks a lot for the reply. So, it seems the 'expensive' thing is a myth. So, wheb do we need to replace this. e.g. every 20,000 KM ?
  4. Normally at services we only replace the oil filter or air filter. When do we need to replace a pentrol filter ? If so, what would be the cost ? I have heard that it is very expensive. Thanks a lot in advance!
  5. There used to be a LUCAS PREMIUM SERVICE CENTRE at No 64, Dutugamunu Street, Kohuwala. Does anyone know where it moved to ? Thanks in Advance

    Has anyone tries Maxxis MS800. ? http://www.maxxisgre...glish/MS800.php I got a quote for Rs. 11,280/- for size 185/60 R15 (Made in Taiwan). Has any of you bought it ? If so, please share your feedback . Hope someone can help me out. Thanks!
  11. Suzuki Swift Japanese (2008 or later) would be a good choice. City Fuel = 10 -- 11 KM/L Outstation > 15 KM/L There is a Swift 'Style' Variation which has distinct interior colous; which might be appealing to you. Good Luck!.
  12. Are cars good if they are JAAI certified? or it's an unreliable thing JAAI is a mandatory certificate if a vehicle is exported out of Japan. It is quite reliable unless forged It's better if you can view the 'Auction Sheet' of the car; which shows the auction grade. If auction grade is above 4 ; it's a good car with small issues (e.g. paint scratches, minor dents, etc)
  13. Yes, I once had such an issue. It dissapeared after I replaced the bearings.
  14. Swift Tyre Prices (185/60 R 15) Yokohama A-Drive(Philippines) 16,700/- Bridgstone B250 (Thailand) 12,770/- Maxxis 13,500/- & 11,000/- GT Super (Indonesia) 11,000/- AV Touring Mastercraft (USA) 13,750/- I am not keen on changing tyre size. Thus, Dunlop doesn't have this size.
  15. Thanks for the recent updates...Abbas J !! Anybody have an idea where to buy tyres for the swift (Size :185/60 R15)
  16. Retract Mirrors : On the door panel (on driving seat side); you can see a knob to adjust the mirror. It can be twisted up/down or sides. Just do it gently. Security system : Well, its working :-) Try to close doors with the remote. Then remove the key from the remote. Without having the remote nearby; try to open the car just using the key. Car mats : I bought 3M @ kleenpark Dehiwala . Bit costly (Rs. 12,000/-). But they are really good. You can check your air @ most fuel stations. It should be 28 (check your driver seat side door for sticker for the correct pressure) To avoid Transmission issues; never change gears while the car is moving. You could see all this in the user manual (even if its in Japanese; there are still pictures to show it). Just go through the book.
  17. Please let us know the outcome. TC.
  18. I have used BG44K; and have noticed an increase in pulling power afterwards.... and also the ride is much smoother. However, I have not noticed much improvement in Fuel Economy.
  19. Among tyres which is more reliable ( I mean with less probability to go flat while running). Is Dunlop or Goodyear ok ? Bridgstone Adrenalin Potenza has two steel belts. (http://www.bridgestone.com.au/tyres/treads/Adrenalin.aspx) But those tyres are very expensive (Nearly 30,000/- per tyre )
