  1. Anyone know a place where i could buy a pair of Wiper blades for a Merc W204 other than D*MO?

  2. Schiffer

    Nissan Leaf

    God that looks so much better than the previous Leaf.
  3. Mitsubishi MPV (Think its called XM) Looks a lot like a Honda in the Rear and sides
  4. FB14s love to mark there territory. expect oil leaks, from the sump, from the rocker cover (Tappet Cover), it will somehow find a way to leak oil.
  5. That. When the clutch starts to west out it starts to struggle a bit when you go uphill, you start noticing a drop in the response. That's your indication to check the clutch pack
  6. DCT issues are not only down to maintaince. 1. it's down to the heat, these vehicles are Japanese domestic models. There are build to work in a different moatly colder temperature, thats why they hardly ever use the DCT boxes for there export models. I've read about cases in Pakistan where they used to fix Fans underneath the gearbox to cool it down. 2. In any dual clutch transmission its adviced not to crawl in traffic. It's adviced to keep a gap between the vehicles and then move forward. Which is something you cannot do in Sri lanka with our threewheelers and bikes creeping in between the space. When you crawl in traffic it puts a lot of heat on the dry clutches which cause for early wear. Anyways this could be a problem for kandy, since unlike Colombo it's always traffic any given time. Consult 'mechanics' in your area and find out and the cost of replacing clutches if they wear out. And whether it is a common issue. In kandy though I have come across many (mostly vezels) with DCT and electronic handbrake issues.
  7. Thel Higanno "Jeep" Edition.
  8. Damn ive been searching for one of these for sometime a 2017 Fielder WxB but most of the cars i found here were G grade converts.
  9. To drive honda's always feel better but, i have been a backseat passenger on both these cars on route to Nuwaraeliya and let me tell you the Axio is far more better for the rear passengers. The Grace felt like sitting in a roller-coaster that i wasnt feeling well after i got back down to Kandy. Different Drivers though, so it might be down to that too, but i found the rear ride on the Axio much more pleasing. To drive though. Grace is a bit better than the Axio. although they aren't miles apart. and i agree with you on the Axio's steering feedback, you have to know your car well to throw it hard into corners. For everyday use. i would go for the Axio, Would go for the WxB option if possible.
  10. Axio, For one reason. A lot of Dual Clutch Honda cars in SL have gearbox Heating issues due to our Sri Lankan climates. which result in slow pulling power and quick wear-out of the clutches. A set of clutches is around 400K. Other than that i have heard no complains about the grace. i have got the warning on a mates Honda Vezel driving in Rush hour traffic, the message literally said: Transmission High Temperature, Please stop in a Safe Place.
  11. For those of you who missed this masterpiece
  12. The FZ looks damn nice but the Stingray looks like a "Special Child"
  13. We got a Tune up done but the vibration didnt go away, it was a bit less after the tune up but its still there. but next time we should try Iridium spark plugs,
  14. When asked they said it's only temporary, after a few thousand miles it will start vibrating again.
  15. This is a common issue with the Vitz. After a certain time the engine starts to vibrate in low revs. we were told it can't be repaired. I am not sure about this but the mechanic who Checked it said something about the car having Gel engine mounts that doesn't last as long as normal mounts. And evert single 1000cc Vitz I have come across have this low rpm vibrating issue.
  16. Actually that is kinda true. I've driven both quite extensively and for the same journey the fuel cost was around the same for both TRH and KDH plus the TRH must have a gem of a gearbox being a petrol with 10 people on board it wasn't under-powered at all. and to drive the TRH was more comfortable as well, The KDH has a lot of body-roll at least the one i drove but the TRH didn't have it at that extend. I don't know how the maintenance cost will be for both vehicles but re-sale wise the Diesel will be easier to sell, that said it wont be too hard to sell the petrol variant too.
  17. This is sort of a common prob with this van. had 2 in family and both were very under compression, The 2C engine is just not enough for that van, probably the same issue.
  18. all new Toyota vehicles have a Angry/Mad or a Evil face now :/ what happend to you toyota atleast they havent gone overboard with the Coaster.
  19. Apart from the exterior differences such as smoked tail lights and honeycomb grillsand led fogs and a bit better but still bad alloy wheels, the RS has white halo lights around the meter cluster instead of the blue, lane departure warning and lane keeping assist, Collins mitigation warning, different dashboard material (sort of like a soft denim),
