Today I came from Buthgamuwa road around 9.20 AM found huge traffic in vicinity of Rajagirya Junction. Usually by that time most roads are free from traffic. Anyone have any idea about the unusual amount traffic in the Rajagirya Junction.

We had a old Alfa which looks very similar to racer but not the same quality only extirior looks

I used a Dwewoo Racer which belongs to my brother in law. Fuel consumption is around 10-12 with no AC. Pros: Comfortable Good leg space Good pulling power Cons: Parts are expensive and available in few places Poor head lights Although it’s a full option car most things did not work properly Hard to recel(He waited almost 5 years) I had a really bad expriance with it as wiper stop working when i driving in a rainy night. During five more he used this car he spent lot of money on the car including engine overhaul.

I went to this palace in Cotta road some time back.There I met some customer who complain about high fuel consumption after his tuneup.In my case I went this place before a emission test and this guy recommended to put a fuel injection cleaner. But my vehicle pass the emission without any injector cleaning in the same day .

Motorcyclists in the Western Province are requested to travel with their headlights switched on even during daytime from tomorrow, police said. They said according to studies carried motorcycle accidents had been reduced in other countries by adopting this method. Police said it was being introduced here on an experimental basis.

Meanwhile the police said that from tomorrow the law on heavy vehicles having to use the lane on the left would be strictly implemented. The lane on the right should only be used when overtaking.

In other similar site they have options like search by prize range and vehicle model.This site needs some updating....

Not sure about the suspension .According to my knowledge its having same engine with some miner changes like electronic throttle control. When we looking for wagon few years back we found some of these are converted for LPG.So you need to watch out for these ones.

In both AD and Wingroad both having same engines as FB15 and B15 .Hence there is plenty of spares and easy to maintain. In the Wingroad you get better seats with head rests so its more comfortable. Specially if you concern about the rear passengers comfort its better go for wingroad. In Y11 wingroad there is two models.New facelift model(2001 onward) more expensive compared to older 2000 model.

Here is some comparison between AD and Wingroad In Wingroads Two front seats with head rests More comfortable rear seats with head rests RPM Meter in the meter cluster Power Shutter(AD only in Driver Side) Dual Air Bags(Ad only on driver side) 1500cc Engine(Most of the Newer AD comes with 1300CC Engine)
