  1. Hi, I had my windscreen replaced about 3 years ago through a known mechanic but he has now closed down following the pandemic. Since about a week or two ago, I have noticed that there is a water leak around the windscreen. Can anybody please suggest what can be done or a good and reliable place to remove the windscreen and fit it again (needs to be done perfectly)? Thanks
  2. Thank you for your reply. As for the hybrid battery, I was given a few contacts and I don’t think that should be a problem. As for the ABS unit, I have been asked to replace the modulator as well as the actuator pump. I am unable to find Brandnew parts at a reasonable price and I am hesitant to buy a reconditioned one since I am a heavy user of the vehicle. Thank you
  3. Hi, I have been using a Toyota Axio NKE 165 for over 7 years now and off late, the dreaded problems of a hybrid started to flare up, that is the battery issue and the ABS issue. I had a scan done on the vehicle and it shows; 1. Hybrid battery fault 2. ABS actuator fault I enquired around regarding the repair and it seems to be quite an expensive job. The technician claims that both the modulator and actuator pumps as well the hybrid battery needs to be changed, but one technician claims that if only the faulty item of the ABS system (I.e., the actuator) is changed, it should suffice and a battery change can be done a little later. Also, the major problem is they are replacing with reconditioned parts but since I am a heavy user of the vehicle, I am a little hesitant to replace with reconditioned parts, instead I am looking for Brandnew parts which seems to be very expensive in Sri Lanka. Any help on repairing the above would be highly appreciated. Also, please feel free to share any contacts of good, reliable technicians who will do a fine job at a reasonable price and any place to buy the spare parts. Thank you

  8. Hi Davy, Thank you for your input. The mechanic claims that he did not disassemble the radiator or any part thereof. He claims that only the A/C fan motor was replaced. Further, he says, usually the engine water pump in any car needs replacement after about 100,000km. I am unable to car from him, since I towed it and left it at his garage and he has already disassembled the pump. Would you be kind enough to suggest some expert to help me on this regard? Thank you
  9. Hi, I own a Toyota Corolla Axio NKE 165 (2014). I have some query regarding the cooling system. Your kind advise and input would be highly appreciated. On Friday, 8/March, when I started the car in the afternoon it was making some unusual noise and I had my mechanic come over and see the car. He claimed that the A/C motor was the cause and advised that I replace it. Also, the front shock absorbers were worn out, so the A/C fan with the shock absorbers were replaced and the car was handed to me on Saturday (next day). After which, I went for a short drive and everything seemed normal. On Sunday, 10/March, I took the car and set off down the Katunayake highway towards Kandy, when I noticed an error message on the dashboard that read “check engine water / coolant level”. This error message popped up near the exit toll gate, so I drove to the nearest fuel station, about 1 to 2 km away, and checked my engine (the Coolant reservoir tank, not by opening the radiator cap). I was shocked to see that there was no coolant in the reservoir tank at all. Later, I handed over the car to the mechanic and he is claiming that it is an issue with the “engine water pump” and that it needs replacement. My query is; 1. How can all the coolant be lost suddenly? (note - there are no visible leaks including in the engine) 2. According to the mechanic, he claims that if the engine water pump stops working, then the coolant will overflow from the radiator/reservoir tank and it will be lost (his explanation for an empty coolant reservoir tank). Is this true? Can this happen? 3. Could all of this be due to some fault/error made by the mechanic during replacement of the A/C fan motor (as this fan also plays a vital role in the cooling process, according to somethings I read)? Please note, there has been never an instance, before this, when the coolant level has been low. All this issue started after the replacement of the A/C fan motor. Your kind advise would be a great help. Thank You, Best Regards.
  10. How is the petrol consumption in Nissan March 12?
  11. Sorry, it was supposed to be 2003 & not 2008.
  12. Hmm... I am quite aware of it, Thank you. I want a recent make, maybe in the year 2008 or above that would be economical in terms of mileage as it is for a day to day usage. I have following in my mind: Suzuki Swift Nissan March Toyota Vitz or Passo Honda City Daihatsu Terios, etc Which would you recommend?
  13. Hi, What would be your suggestions for cars in the range of upto 1.8 Million? Would it be possible to get a low mileage, Japanese car, preferably registered recently within that range? Thank You.
