  1. I have taken my Audi to D*MO Bosch/Vishwa and then to Drive 1 for various requirements and decided to stick with Drive one I would not recommend Bosch - Shitty service Vishwa is okish. Mind you i have done some minor repairs with them for rat attacks. Observing their work it seems they have lost focus on quality. Drive one - I did vehicle service plus some minor repairs (Sunroof and few other stuff). They did a good job plus cost was not that inflated i thought. lalana is also ex Vishwa motors i think but not sure.
  2. I would definitely change those wheels, Congrats on the new aquisition
  3. Hi Guys got a new addition to the family. Bought from the first owner who has used it for 10 years and agent maintained throughout and only 89k on the clock for 10 years. Two Germans in the family ?
  4. There are Nissan Patrol Y61 manuals also going around which im looking at buying. Prices range from 7Mn to 9Mn would be a real off roader.
  5. Few organizations are taking work from home seriously. For eg. j********i Insurance has 200 people working from home and has emptied two floors at head office. Abans is offering work from home solutions to staff then there is Hemas group. Only thing to see is are Sri Lankans disciplined enough to work from home.
  6. Not related. I have an Audi that is maintained at Agents. I asked them on Transmission oil change and what they said was change is not required.

    Looking for a LEAF

    go around vehicle yards of finance companies. You will find plenty at dirt cheap prices. Lessee's have given up the vehicles rather than paying lease rentals as it makes economic sense. Even at dirt cheap prices they do not move
  8. DCT normally wear out around 80K mileage. Rarely will last longer if driven carefully.
  9. highly recommended to replace DCT in around 80K mileage

    rat damage insuarance

    I claimed for a collision with a dog and then with a monkey both times there were no issues.
  11. Well I know for a fact that he is not financially sound and hard to think he would be able to raise capital to support the project. I remember he launched a taxi app and do not know if that operate now.
  12. I don't think the guy has real credibility.
  13. try Auto Bavaria for servicing. I did some financing to the guy who was a former director at the Agent and bought all original equipment. A Friend of mine did some work on his 318i there and had no complaints
  14. I used to use those air sanitizing spray that is supposed to clean the AC system as well. I got the one sold by wurth and used twice are they effective?
  15. Have driven a friends 2 pretty oftain and you get the same feeling of power of the 6

  17. Wow you are lucky that those buggers have not eaten anything. I was not so lucky with my rear and front parking sensor wire harnesses. Better to have that rat repellant spray which you need to apply every 14 days.
  18. My Audi says brand new in the book although its is a grey import. You have to pay some additional money and go show the vehicele RMV. I do not know how b'cos a friend did it for me
  19. for 5.5Mn personally I would try to nego. for a 2014-2015 Mazda 06
  20. I don't think the average person will do a tampering every year. Mostly people will do it when they think of selling or when a buy and sell guy (Buyya) purchse the vehicle. so if at lease last three years of emission test data is available in a public database that would be a start and we will be able to get some sort of idea of the mileage. Some idea is better than nothing and we need to start somewhere. I sold two vehicles in 2019 - Honda Vezel , when I sold the mileage was 80K and week later I saw it advertised at 30K. Mazda 06, When I sold mileage was 41K one and half years back. I saw the vehicle advertised at 42K still under warranty six-seven months back.
  21. This problem has a simple solution. Make the mileage of emission tests public through a database (At least the problem will be solved for used cars). It is a mafia. I did talk to a few vehicle valuers who are the who and Who's of the vehicle valuers association. They do not want to implement. I spoke to a Deputy Commissioner of RMV who is a MBA batchmate of mine. Neither are they interested. If you know anyone that can help lobby it would be a great service to the general public who intend to buy second hand registered vehicles
  22. Not related, but there was this famous turnkey construction company who was contracted to build my house. I was not satisfied with some of their work. They did not attend to correction work even with several reminders. I sent a letter of demand but no progress. Finally I kept commenting on their Facebook page. They deleted in the morning but I re-commented in the evening, this went on for about two weeks. Finally I think due to the negative impact they gave me a meeting with the chairman and got the issue solved. Power of social media.
  23. Thanks guys for the feedback. Thought of not proceeding although the price offered was very tempting.
