Anybody experienced the same with stock Dunlops that come with Honda?? The tyre guy at S#n R#se Auto Spa (Kandy) says it’s something common with stock Dunlops. I have a set of Dunlop sp sport 2030 that came with my Honda. Done 38k on them. I check tyre pressure frequently enough and keep it at 34psi. But, sides are worn out equally on all 4 tyres with about 25% of center tread remaining. (Tyres manufactured in 2017)

USD 25,000/- permit still remains expensive- 1.7M as per y'day.

Sorry for the delayed update..! Finally sorted the thing out! It was funny that none of the mechs I went to could find the simple issue there, until I figured it out myself. (Thank you Sampath Gunasekera!, saved by your technique) Strangely it turned out to be the right hood hinge giving some abnormal sound at specific speads. Oiled both the hinges and the sound was all gone. Thanks everyone !

These tend to change frequently with market trends and rumours cos' there's no such thing called "correct price" for the permits but, it'll stabilize once this turbulance is past. If you're interested in buying, I guess you'd better wait .

That's 'cos they are offered under two different permits as two other members have explained..

"Geen park" restaurant at kegalle about 400m from famous Ambasewana (towards pilimathalawa) also deserves mentioning IMO, a small but pretty decent place with very good food.

Thanks..

Thanks maheshw

If you like pure martial arts movies(without computer generated effects) you would like this( especially last fighting scenes). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg6IiGjJyM4

Strange storyline.. but, wonderful imagination... Inception(2014)

Has anyone watched "summer in february (2013)? A good movie........... here goes the trailer....

Hope pro members in kandy area can shed some light on this. Saw a separate thread on "good mechanics/ garages" started with good intention in the forum but sadly it was all about colombo.

Thanks Suranee for the eye opener... Please let us know that place; at least the location (hope this's not violating the rules ) so that AL members can avoid it at all cost. regards !

Actually this goes to AL members residing in and around Kandy area. I need to get the suspension system and bushings checked in my Toyota Vitz (2008 model). Appreciate if you could recommend me a reliable mechanic in kandy/ Matale area for this job. I don't want to go to the agents cos' they won't let the me watch what they're doing (and more importantly, I don't want to get "ripped off"). Thanks!

Wondering why discussions on hybrids always end up in a negative note..! Probably Hybrid technology is still far from being perfect.

IMO you already have the answer to your question. If hybrids are not as efficient as they claim to be, then you can live happily with your non-hybrid. Why would you ever bother about Hybrids?

It may be so!. I have grouped above information came from different sources (although most through my own search). Some may not be up to date. Anyone wishing to update above is most welcome!

Found one place near general hospital. but, I was told their cut jobs are not that good. Finally decided on getting an original mirror. Planning to visit Panchi after the weekend. I tried going for the whole unit at first but, found out it was bit too expensive for the model. Everywhere, even at panchikawatta, they were quoting prices around Rs. 27,000 to 30,000 for a single winker mirror unit.

Thank you all. Your comments were very informative and highly appreciated. Checked out at T_yota L_anka today. They're offering original mirror alone for Rs. 7000. Not firmly decided on anything yet. Will keep you posted.

Thanks for you input, Trinity ! Guess they did a good job of it. Please let me know the place where you got it done or any other shop you know of in the Darley road where such things are undertaken.

Thanx mate...! Would be a big relief if such thing is possible. Was on hunt for winker mirrors whole day but sellers were quoting unnecessarily high prices even for a single winker mirror unit. Surely will check that out....

Hello!, anybody please! there must be at least few who had to do it before...

Thanks dude..! mine didn't have any tint. highly appreciate if somebody could mention few places by name particularly in K'gala/Kandy.( guess it won't violate forum rules). Wish to hear from anyone out there who recently replaced winker mirrors
