Can anyone please share the pros and cons of buying a WagonR? I see many says don't buy and some says it's a good car. Could anyone elaborate the arguments please? Thank you.

someone has to drive it at least 240kms a day without any day off for 42 months to make it 300000kms This is possible if someone starts around 4am and run until 10pm in taxi service assuming you get hires without no time gaps. if the current market conditions apply, you might be able to sell it for about 2mil. If you maintain it off the agent and do all the hacks to make it as 40000kms as milage, you would sell it for about 2.5mil. better to find someone who has done 300000kms on a wagonr and ask what sort of problems he encountered during maintenance. and also share it among us as well.

Since there is 4DR5 Short Wheel & a F50 on that link, The Mitsu is 25 Sri which I think comes under Land Vehicles category which is what is best as per my guest because of the very low annual fees for licenses. And being a short wheel and not being a 31 Sri, it might goes to that price. But still worth it if someone wants to modify or restore. (Number doesn't matter) and the engine says 2.6 but I think it should be 2.7 F50 price is higher than expected as those have a lower market value here in SL. It seems the F50 is maintained well and therefore he tries to sell it for an amount he think is reasonable for him.

In terms of maintenance and repair cost. Yes. Relatively better second hand market.

you might need to install gps movement tracker to each vehicle. uber is free to register and pick me charges 24000LKR Better to go with commission based rental because if you pay a salary to driver they may not try to make more trips. WagonR or Alto would be ideal but Indian alto would be best in terms of repair and maintenance.

Though I own a J44 (Mitsubishi) now, DEF90 are much more comfortable with it's coil spring suspension if I am not mistaken. All I can say is, it's better to buy a same Jap brand jeep than spending all money on Diffenders selling at cheaper prices. These vehicles do need attention to detail if anyone willing to travel across the country and for my experience most of those are being served as second vehicle and kept away from expensive repairs. Look for a better maintained and repaired for a reasonable price no matter the number plate is. Body/Interior/Chassis/Engine should be maintained well. Or else you buy just a chassis and rebuilt one from the bottom which will cost you more but ended up with a better vehicle and you will know about all the nuts and bolts of the vehicle. The fever of "Defender" is very dangerous these days. Hunt more, inspect / drive and see. Believe me, I look 17 vehicles and all gave me different different problems to think of. Good luck.

Yep. Those manuals are rare to find. Those who inquire about it are cheap enough NOT event to pay the copying fee. So how do you build a jeep if you can't pay the copy fee to get both manuals printed? That's the nature around here. So bad.

@matroska @Vernon De I have both Service and Workshop manual. I never let it borrow because I had a worse experience. You know typical Sri Lankans. So anyone want it can pay the copy fee to me and I will make it ready. You can collect it from Piliyandala or Union Place. Thanks for understanding.

This is exactly what I would buy...

Hi Guys, Could anyone give a comparison between Mitsubishi Delica PO15 & Hyundai H100 van? Both give competitive pricing while H100 is newer. I would like to know pros and cons compared to both vans. Appreciate your reply. Thanks.

As per my understanding, this strip is a tow strip that attached to the chassis when a vehicle is modified. Because the tow head could be covered with body-kit and this strip will do the job when it needs to pull the vehicle. But as it turns out, here people do it as a style where it has no value. If you try to tow using that, most probably you will only get the bumper. ?

Friends, I am looking for a Toyota LH 30 Van to buy. I read wiki and found it comes with Toyota L 2.2 Engine and there is no much information online about this. Therefore I need your knowledge/experience to look for a better one. Could you kindly share how to inspect this vehicle to identify the issues most probably not mentioned by the owner of course. It is Ok to have minor problems because these were built around early 1980s. But I should be knowledgeable about what to inspect and how to inspect. Thanks and appreciate your feedback. Nishan

Well, I didn't buy it. And it's almost 9 years ago. It said, the mistake was done by RMV or relevant personnel who were responsible for entering data at the registration. You may contact RMV and get it updated. The seller at that time had no idea about Chassis numbers and after convincing him, he told me he got it corrected sometime later though RMV. But since I restored a J44 &, considering all the facts, now I don't mind changing it as I can get the license and registration for the vehicle without any matter. However, It could be the same jeep that you and me are talking about if the previous seller lied to me as he corrected. Most 4DR jeepers don't expect it to sell these days as you can see the demand for that vehicle. That said, I mind restoring it rather than spending lot on changing from T to J. Anyway, did you buy it recently?

Hi Guys, Though this topic is not the type that can answer directly, I appreciate if anyone can add something with contacts or contents, really appreciate it. I was looking at EV Conversion kits on internet where we can buy one and install in to a car or jeep. The problem is that, I don't find anyone doing it in Sri Lanka or has done it as a project. (Couldn't find) For instance, look at this kit. Though it's expensive and has 4 motors, same will come much cheaper with 2 motors. But lack of knowledge and experience will waste money and time if one is going to do it. So, hopefully if you are a mechanical / electrical engineer or even auto electrician that has something to say about, please post a reply. This is just a start of gathering some details about it before going to a practical installation. Thanks so much.

Couldn't agree more. I still wonder how come the pajero 4D56 is bad compared to a bighorn. May be a personal experience. In my opinion, it has to be other-way around. It's true there are lot's of pajero's that I have seen not maintained properly and treated very bad way which is a big sin i think. Despite of such vehicle, a pajero is a vehicle that can't be compared to any other in that range i guess. hopefully many will agree.

Could you say why?

Did you manage to contact him? What happened?

Call this guy and ask. Let him know your genuine reason. He might help you. (Not a personal friend but he does sand blasting. ) 0779777899 KRISHANTHA

Use a lead acid battery (12V) to continue the power while main battery is disconnected. You do not need to start the engine. And mostly you shouldn't start the engine and do the electrical works if you are not a professional in that field who knows the stuff all around.

Why do you start the engine?

If you need a continuous power supply, you may need to connect a 12v battery parallel way and then remove the terminal from the battery you want to clean the terminals. I don't think removing terminal connections while engine is running is a good idea. Simply connect another battery (12v) parallel way. Make sure the open connections are properly covered to avoid any damage.

What is your vehicle?

There is one place. https://www.google.lk/maps/place/Nico+Tyre+Center/@6.7959702,79.9323953,3a,28y,157.76h,91.63t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sAA2Yo2_rfVjvuRQpm_hVQA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m5!3m4!1s0x3ae24fed12ec6535:0xebd0698fba9348c7!8m2!3d6.7960917!4d79.9319744?hl=en If you are able to go to Horana, I can give you a contact.

If you know this won't be the case, you can enjoy your AC.

In high speeds your condenser is capable to cool down faster because of the wind and good ventilation. If you measure the temperature coming out from the vents, you will see a noticeable difference. Hopefully, your evaporators have been cleaned and filters changed. So they works better now. By the way what is the vehicle?
