Guys what is your infortainment wallpaper.. I use this, I think I got it from CivicX site

I replaced the rear shocks on my FC1 at Stafford. The existing ones are repaired and kept. I repaired it in a place in Nittambuwa through a colleague

Sorry for your misfortunes with the car. I had AC condenser leak and got it replaced at the place next to Nawalanka in Dehiwala. I also replaced the shock when I bought it, as it had both rear shocks leaking oil. (by the way, I repaired it and kept it in case we run out without spares. Goodyear tyres are said to be around 40k at Carguys, Kohuwala who gave me 4 of those for 107k begining of last year.

I'm having a problem with the infotainment system & speed dialing. Whenever I connect a different phone to run Android Auto, it clears out all the speed dials set up. Is it normal. In my case, I'm carrying two phones. but what if the vehicle is used by two person like Husband & Wife.

I previously used a Prius with 185-sized tyres on 15 or 16 inch alloys and had a hard time with the ground clearance, At the very first tyre change, I shifted to 195 tyres which mostly solved the problem in my day-to-day use. If I recall correctly, the Civic has a 215-sized tyre and a larger alloy compared to the Prius. So far I have not faced the challenges I had with Prius with my Civic. last week I managed to take it through a kind of a bend which usually requires a couple of forward and reverse menueres to pass with my Ex-Prius 😊.

Guys sad news, my left side mirror lens got stolen last night near Wellawathe Foodcity. Don't know how much it's going to cost, Any ideas?. Insurance needs a police entry it seems.

Interesting note that the fuel type is mentioned as 95, whereas the sticker on the fuel lid says 91.

Isn't a non-hybrid mid-sized car achieving 24kmpl something unbelievable?

I saw this question on fuel consumption a few days ago, since it was on 1000CC I didn't bother to respond as mine is a 1.5L. However, I keep records of Odometer and fuel costs using an app called "my cars". I have done 22,080km & 55 refuels since purchase and 95% of the time pumped 95OCT. Fuel stats are as follows, best - 6.37L/100km (15.7kmpl) worst - 13.36L/100km (7.49kmpl) (full week in Colombo traffic running between Lady ridgeway hospital and home) Average - 9.11L/100km (10.98kmpl) My average run per month is 1,148km with AC on. Hope this helps

In case if you are interested in keeping the infotainment system screen off without the clock and wallpaper, it could be achieved by setting the wallpaper to blank and turning off the clock. the display goes completely off and turns on when required. Hope I'm not doing something not good for the car system.

Hi, Anyone recently replaced the wiper blades or refiled the existing blades. My one need a change, don't know where to find a good product without paying a hefty price at Saffords.

Once I pretty much raced from Colombo to Kandy, in between locking VTEC at high RPMs. Fuel efficiency was worse than Colombo city running. Keeping the RPM low helps lot with fuel efficiency & passenger comfort.

At least my one never shut down the engine ever since I bought it. may be due to the fact it is a 1.5L Australia import, as opposed to most being UK imported.

I didn't know CIVIC has Idle engine stop feature..

I was hoping to find a similar thread for Montero Sports 2012 in the forums, to help a colleague to find a harness for his vehicle. Unfortunately, not all the vehicle owners are lucky enough to have a dedicated thread in the forum it seems. By the way, if you guys know any places to get hold of harnesses, and inhibitor switches for the Montero Sports please do let me know..

Hi guys, I recently noticed that the 1.5L sedan has duel exhaust pipes vs 1L sedan has single exhaust. I have not come across this anywhere in the reviews or it may not be an important consideration. Would be interesting to discuss any other not so known variations between the models apart from these.

Hi, I think its time to replace the wiper blades or replace the wiper rubber in my Civic. Stafford quoted north of 7k for the rubber few months ago. Any other places to buy a decent wiper/ wiper refill rubber.

Check with car guys Kohuwala also. Their prices "were" reasonable.

What they didn't know is my car itself is assembled in Thailand and came here after taking a quick trip to Australia..🤣.

Have an update on this. Stafford said they are out of stock and previously sold it for 250k. They also mentioned someone else has a Thailand windscreen for 125k. However I managed to find a replacement grass from Galle Windscreen Centre for 50k and got it replaced. they visited my place and completed the job also. pretty satisfied I am.

Hi all, today my car has a weird accident. Yesterday I parked the car at the apartment car part with rear of the car exposed to the sky and rest under a slab. a Crow carrying a piece of bone has dropped it from quite far up in the sky on to my car. the impact point was the rear windscreen. Although the impact was on left top most corner of the glass, the entire glass is fully shattered. Luckily I had witnesses to corroborate this incident. My insurance will cover the cost, but my problem is where to find the rear windscreen. Tried contacting the company, but couldn't get thru to the parts division Galle windscreen Centre said they have the glass and offered to bring it to the place and fix, not sure how reliable their products are.(their price was 45k) Please let me know if you know any other contacts who have reconditioned or brandnew windscreens for Civic Sedan 2018 Thailand Manufactured, Australian version.

Surprisingly they (Stafford-Maradhana) have put 10W30 oil in my car.. After previous post, I read an article about the oil dilution issue. It appears to be affecting the cars operating in the freezing cold temperatures. I hope the Colombo folks will be least likely to be affected.

I've only done 6,000km since purchase. previous owner had 36k on Odo. Stafford has put Motul 4k semi synthetic oil on the last service. I may have to switched to synthetic oil soon. By the way, yesterday I was on the highway and was able to hear a very mild racer/pully sound from the engine bay. tried turning off the AC with no change. Car was on cruise at about 1600RPM doing 90kmph. Starting to wonder whether I should check the turbo immediately.

My car is a Australian import, made in Thailand. Is oil dilution issue is a known issue in 1.5L, if so isn't it better to use a ...W30 oil with higher viscosity than using a w20 oil.

Today I got the new price list for Mobil oils, not looking good though..
