  1. did you contact Autodrome? If no one has this particular size, then maybe there is an alternate size which you can use at least until the correct size becomes available.....
  2. https://greasemonkey.lk/product/bridgestone-60-series-175-60-r15-ecopia150-t-l-thailand/
  3. Based on your requirements, go for the Premio. I own a 2020 C-HR (NGX10 - 2WD), and it's not a very practical vehicle especially if you have a family (rear seat visibility is horrible) and need to haul stuff around (limited boot space, say, compared to a Honda Vezel or an MG ZS). Oh, and the 8NR-FTS engine requires 95 Octane (I've never had difficulties finding 95, even outstations). Driving it, though, is quite fun.
  4. Utter nonsense. 92 RON fuel is also imported by Ceypetco for distribution. You can verify this yourself by referring tender documents (which are publicly available on the internet (http://ceypetco.gov.lk/wp-content/uploads/BK-TERM-GAS-OIL-GASOLINE-DTB-MUTHU-2018-2019-3P.pdf). It is well known that the contaminated/out of spec shipment which caused lot of fuel pump issues in 2011 was directly imported.
  5. As far as I know, the local Audi agent does not repair, service, or provide warranty assistance for grey market cars.
  6. How about the engine cooling system (i.e. radiator, fans etc) and AC compressor? Are these of higher capacity in tropicalized versions compared to the models meant to be sold in temperate climates?
  7. Install Google Translate on your Android phone from Google Play Store. There maybe similar apps for the iPhone as well, but I'm not familiar with the iPhone ecosystem. Use the image translation mode. 1st text - user customization 2nd text - please stop the customization setting and put the lever outside the selector into P Looks like you have started come sort of a configuration setting, but has not completed it. Never driven one of these....so I could be wrong.
  8. Hope these will help. To my knowledge, a brand/model breakdown is not available in the public domain. http://www.motortraffic.gov.lk/web/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=84&Itemid=115&lang=en http://www.transport.gov.lk/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=255&Itemid=&lang=ta
  9. This car looks like it has been stationary for a long time. There is a big rusted out hole below the rear windshield. What this probably means is that rainwater would have accumulated in the trunk (possibly even the passenger compartment) and the floorpan is likely to have rusted out. All rubber parts, including the rubber parts in the Toyota engine (such as belts) would need replacement. Likely, all joints in the suspension system and wheel bearings would need replacement. And then there is the cooling system and braking system which will need to be completely overhauled. Another problem with long term stationary vehicles is mice and squirrels enter them, and this usually means electricals would be completely messed up too. All of that is in addition to all the bodywork and cosmetic stuff which needs to be attended to. So unless there is some sort of sentimental value associated with it, the cost, time and effort required to bring this upto roadworthy condition is not worth it. My 2 cents is, walk away. If you like classic large BMWs, get hold of a decent, roadworthy E39 5-series (can be had for less than 3mn) and fix it up. P.S. The seats and door cards looks to be in surprisingly good condition. How come?
  10. If finding a complete gearbox is impossible (or is prohibitively expensive), can you not dismantle the existing gearbox (by someone who specializes in automatic gearbox repairs) find the part(s) which needs replacing, and import them yourself through a reputed supplier and rebuild it? There are separate parts catalogs available depending on the market the vehicle was intended to be sold such as: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/toyota/corolla If not, then maybe another option would be to buy a condemned car from an auction.....
  11. A 5-sec search on ebay reveals that you can buy all 4 door actuators (not genuine, though) for $50.00, shipping included.

  13. @NPP Your credit history is one of the metrics used in the formula for pricing a financial product. All other things being equal, a bad credit history can add 1-2% to the average rate quoted. This would, obviously, depend on the institution concerned, but banks tend to take a more serious look at the credit history than finance/leasing companies.
  14. Given there are so many Supersports channels in this package, I'm guessing this has something to do with South Africa (Supersports is a South African company). Ask these guys what feed they supply, and verify whether it is ad-free. Watching a movie on an Indian feed with so many $hitty ads in between (Zee Studio, anyone?), is a suicidal experience. Does anyone know whether we could get a DStv connection in Sri Lanka? I am really tired of the "Indianization" of the TV channels like Nat Geo and Discovery Dialog has on offer (including the HD channels)....
