I had a similar issue with my Corolla 141, front passenger side brake got stuck while traveling from Kandy to Colombo, and the brakes became extremely hot which was not observed before. Managed to travel to Colombo somehow and went to the agent to do an inspection, and after checking informed that no issues with the brake systems. The issue came back after a few days of city driving and went to a known garage when checked the piston was corroded due to the damaged boot. They managed to fix it and no issues till now for more than 1k KMs. Wonder what exactly the agents checked during their inspeaction 😏

Was able to collect my parts from the EMS office today, no hassle the process was pretty straight forward. The customs officer was very helpful and explained the details. Paid a minimum tax and was able to get the parts within a 1 hour.

@vitz Is there any specific procedure to follow, I got the pink letter mentioning that I have to come and collect my parts from the G.P.O.

මොවුන්ගෙන් Shock Absorbers මිළදී ගැනීමේදී ප්රවේසම් වන්න
walkernet replied to udayasl's topic in General Automotive
Similar thing happened to me, I bought 4 KYB shocks to my 2008 Corolla 141 from Nama**tne motors. They get the shocks from T**s as well, the first set that was given to me was not fitting well and my mechanic checked and informed me to check with them again. Then they provided me with the correct part. Better to check with your mechanics in this situation. I think your mechanic should have advised you not to put them in your vehicle at all. -
Say no to wiper blades, windscreen nano coating
walkernet replied to Lahiru Sachintha's topic in General Automotive
I had a large scratch on my windscreen and had to solve that and from the polishing place got a nano coating as well, what I feel is it stays well for few months and loosen the quality quite quickly. And in the heavy rain wipers are always needed.May be the one I got was not a high quality one, anyway it's better to check them out before applying the coating. -
Buying New Shocks From Which One
walkernet replied to invisibleuser's topic in Feedback & Suggestions
Bought all 4 shocks for Corolla 141 (2008) from Namaratne. Please find the prices from Taas & Namaratne. Namaratne gave the same unit sold by Taas at a discounted rate. Shocks were KYB Excel-G, made in Japan. Taas Front - 19685 per unit Back - 14580 per unit Namaratne Front - 13750 per unit Back - 10125 per unit -
This is what most of the people have mentioned in the threads. Have to check them out. Please let me know if there are any other services as such.

Hi All, One of the alloy wheel in my Vitz has a small crack/hole and leaking air in a slow rate. Anyone knows a place to repair the alloy wheel using any method. The tires are ok, no punctures or anything.

Toyota Lanka are replacing the Air Bag detonator of several models that came around 2008(Corolla 141, etc), which is free of charge. Check with Toyota Lanka whether your model needs this replacement as well.

Yes..for brand new cars bought through the agent, the agents are legally obligated to provide recall services and tech updates as instructed by the manufacturer (i.e. free).
Grey imports are different. On one hand, cars like Allion, Passo, etc.. are not cleared by the manufacturer to be sold in the SL market via its official dealer network. Thus, certain costs may not be covered by the local dealer as the use of the car in the country is out of bounds of what the manufacturer has defined (reason why manufacturer warranty does not apply to cars like the Allion). Therefore, when it comes to recalls some charges might get applied.

Anyone has idea about brand called "Lassa", the tyre shop says that it's produced in Turkey and has similar characteristics as Bridgestone tyres. They quoted Rs.14750 for 195/65/15 Lassa Impetus Revo tyre and says it will last for more than 60k KMs.

I have the removed one with me. Thanks for the information.

Is it possible to get a new windshield sticker. My one had to be removed as I had to replace my windshield. Does anyone knows the process for that.

One of my friend also did some major repairs from VTEC motors, they did it on satisfactory level and he only had to fill the insurance forms as the garage manage all other matters. They also get the parts required, but better to check them out so you can make sure they are genuine.
