Yes i got it fixed. Went to Nilwala motors in madiwela. They install the repair kit and the issue is fixed. You can do it at the agents too but the repair cost would be about four times.

Don't expect it to be cheap. Honda is a cheap car to maintain compared to a Euro. Believe me personal experience.
Thanks..great to hear from your personal experience.
I would like to know what i am looking at. A regular service at stafford would be around 15-18K, at 5K intervals. What will i have to expect extra in services?
Also could you please share some examples for the cost difference in regular parts, such as shocks break pads etc..

Don't buy a Euro if you are used to substandard maintenance with cheap low quality parts. You may get away with it with a jap, but a Euro will punish you hard!
Thanks. I maintained my civic at stafford from day one. I always went for genuine parts through agent so i do not think i would sacrifice the reliability by going for cheap parts from outside.

Spot on iRage??
Current scenario is purely a result of SPECULATION created by those crooks who want "Happy Endings" & is temporary till the hype is over? (simple economics)
If Im a buyer, I would invest the additional amount I pay for a "culprit" car sale guy (say 01 mil) in share market (which is performing brilliantly right now) & earn a sizeable return till the car prices return to normalcy within a short period of time?
Use your brain, not emotions & be patient till you get the fair price for the vehicle you wanna buy?
Wise man! I am actually doing that now..sold my car while back and money is in stocks. Using wife's old vitz

Hi All,
I have sold the Honda Civic FD1 i have used for several years now and I am looking to buy an Audi A4. My preference is the 2016 model, budget is around 8 - 9 mil. Currently using my Wife's car until i find a good one and also i am thinking of waiting for the import restrictions to be lifted so the vehicle prices become sensible again. However i would love if you could share any experiences you have had or heard of, regarding the A4 2016 model. I have done some research on the net and i saw some complaints about wiring, cooling and transmission, however i am not sure if users is SL have experienced these. So appreciate if you could share your valuable comments or experiences. There were several threads here for A4 buying advise but not for a recent model such as the 2016.
- I have maintained the civic at Stafford from day 1 i bought.
- I wouldnt mind spending few extra $ for the European badge.
TIA..

Hi All,
I have the same issue with my Civic FD1 2006. At cold starts, the car jerks when engaging and shifting. Switch off and restart makes the problem go away.
Can anyone who had this issue and solved it or anyone who has experience help me fix this issue? May be 'Civic Fan' could help me?
TIA.

Dear AL Team,
Can you guys using Hondas (Specially the FD series) recommend a good place that does honda maintenance (mechanical repairs)? Need to change the Shocks and lower torque mount as well as check the rear wheel bearings.
Agent quotes too expensive.
Thanks in advance.

Anybody know a good place to get a set of JBL speaker system installed?
Car is a starlet ep91 so a couple of speakers at the front and a small sub will be enough?
Thanks.

Thought I should add my experience since I have been using a starlet EP91 which my dad bought for me and its been close to 6 years now.
Its a 1997 AT EP91 and has run close to 150k kms. Had no any major repairs since I got it. I usually do the service every 3.5-4k kms and tune up once a year from toyota.
I have driven some Indian small cars (Maruti and TATA Hatch(not nano)) and i can tell you its way better than a brand new one of those two in terms of ease of driving, ride and comfort.
Fuel consumption is around 12 or 13kmpl around cmb ( just a rough figure) but it does close to 17kmpl on the hgway.
The only problems are that it gives some rattling noises on a bumpy road ( probably from plastics in the dash) and the space at the back is not enough if you push the front seats a little more to the back but i think thats common to all hatches.
If you are looking for a car with comfortable space for 4 or 5 adults then better to go for a 110 I think and IMO better to go for a japanese.

Guys,

Members,
First of all thank you CJ5 for explaining the situation during that era.
I was a young boy at the time when B's first elected to power in mid 1950.
Have seen the changes taken place in Ceylon, how profitable institutions were nationalized.
Ethnic problems were created in late 1950.There by majority of our Ceylonese had left the country.
Dark Era in early 1960. Later imports were liberalized in late 1970. Thereby we Sri Lankans are enjoying all benefits.
Sylvi Wijesinghe.
Amen to that.
Even if this thing was held in the UK, I am sure that UK govt wont get RRs for the delegates. may be a jag or MB.

Dear all,
I am looking to buy a used toyota sedan for around 30 - 38 lakhs for day to day use. My preferred are the Axio and 141. Found some decent ones in AL as well as in sales. However I need your opinions before going ahead.
If anybody has any info on these models, personal experiences, any other model suggestions please post.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone know how much this is for the $30k permit?
-
I read most of them and one thing is that they are quite old posts. Most say go to the agents and thats in Wattala. So that's why i am looking for a good spot around colombo. Is Lal Alawatta good? how much will it cost?
-
Dear experts,
I am planning on doing an Engine tune up and spark plug replacement this weekend for my Starlet EP91 ( fuel consumption too high).
Please suggest good places I can get it done. Name of place, location and if possible how much it will cost me generally.
Thanks.

My brother is planning to buy a new european car and he has test driven both 5 series. He says A6 interior is better and has his mind on the A6 I think. I dont know about the prices but since both are of same class, I think its going to cost about same money as a new 5 series .
I seen that most of Al senior members have European cars and know much about these two cars.
I need the following info about these two cars and your ideas on which is best to buy.
1. Any known issues with the F10 5 series. (520d)
2. Running costs of two models.
3. Agent's after sales support
4. Anything else we should consider
Thanx in advance.

Pannipitiya. Any place in Col is ok

. Where can i get a good tune up done? Cost is not much a problem if they do the job well.
