You need to replace it with a AGM battery I don't think normal sealed DIN 100 batteries would work!

You can get genuine stuff from https://www.powerbulbs.com if ur not sure about eBay sellers. They got free shipping from UK to SL with 25% off these days. I got "Philips X-treme Vision +130" since I like the yellowish 3600k colour. Huge difference from stock bulbs. There's also the new "OSRAM Night Breaker Laser" if you like 4000k white like the pic from @Magnum.

Literally in tears right now!!

Happy New Year everyone!!

Lol

They don't make Civic's in Japan anymore

That isn't the main issue but I'd say that loss is normal. I've experienced that in all my past cars

That's what i thought too. But I check it every 2 weeks. All tires had lost about 3psi on average when I check.

Yeah it's there on both the outer and inner edges on both front wheels. Ok I'll do another alignment at a new place other than my usual tyre team kohuwala this time. Heard good things about macro auto tech near raththanapitya junction.

Thanks for the info guys. I'm not that much of an aggressive driver except for an occasional spirited run. It's an e46, RWD so shouldn't the rear shred? The pressure tag states Unloaded front: 32rear: 38and for a more under load setup:front: 38rear: 45 So I went for an average. I guess it's tire age then. Tie rods are ok, checked. Shocks are new. As I said, aligned every 5k. Time to fork out some cash for new rubber :'(

Guys any idea why I get wear like this? Both the sides of the front tires are like peeling off. Rears are fine. 205/55/16 dunlop sportmaxx manuf 2012. The middle of the tire shows even, normal wear. I keep a consistent 35psi and align every 5k.

Norbar torque wrenches at ACP can't go wrong the cheap ones are cheap for a reason. They aren't pre calibrated or accurate at all.

And I they sell it here with a with crappy SOHC variant of the 1.6L R16 found on the 8th gen FD4. New body + old engine + new CVT gearbox

Happy New Year All!!

Lucky you

Hi All, Any idea how the condition of the ella-wellawaya road is? It looks like its under construction in google maps street views but thats from Oct 2015.

Its against forum rules to link external sites. Fuel economy wise don't expect more than around 5 city and 8 out station. Never liked diesels much. More trouble than petrols and almost no resources online if ur a DIY'er.

If you're talking about a pre 2007 model with a M54B30, which is an extremely good engine IMHO, has the following common problems with age (which can be dealt with quite easily) Cooling System failures (expansion tank/radiator/hoses/thermostat housing/water pump) VANOS seals failing Crank Case Ventilation (CCV) valve failing Oil leaks (Oil Filter Housing Gasket, Valve cover gasket, Oil pan gasket, Rear Main Seal) DISA valve failing Do a search for them online. A lot of info!! With some preemptive maintenance,the engine at least is pretty reliable.

Theres a good looking 735 for sale. Admins please remove if against rules link removed - advert

I use "3M car wash soap" and that foams up pretty good

I think that's how it was when it came from the factory. It was the same with my previous carina GT. I'm not sure whether what you have in the pic is a CAT or a small resonator that usually comes before main silencer.

I think the premio 260 has just 1

The genuine belt is 35USD on amayama JAPAN (5000 LKR ish) https://www.amayama.com/en/search?q=90916-02713 So theoretically with legit tax (close to 50%) and shipping it comes close to 10K
