Yes. This may be not related to vehicles . But a loss for SL. Specially to construction industry . Even most of the elevators in hospitals are Mitsubishi. Who is going to maintain them now?

@sathyajithj99...Mitsubishi Corp does not directly handle sales and after sales service of things like elevators and HVAC systems,etc...They usually do that through their dealership network. At least that is the model they use in pretty much every other country. So as long as the dealership network is there servicing etc..should not be impacted. However, since there wont be direct oversight of these dealers...the dealers might completely screw things up (as our guys are not always the most professional or ethical).

What would really be impacted would be the construction sector. As that usually has a more direct involvement.

Ha ha, it was just a guess. @Hyaenidae just coincidence may be. I actually looked up for these korean SUVs these days. Since they are cheap, and saw some good reviews too. 

we discussed the terracan sometime back on Quick Trivia if I'm not mistaken. 

Really?  I may have missed that 

I know a person who owns a manual yaris 2008 which was converted to auto. It is full of gearbox issues.  He's trying to sell it for some time now.

Well...a conversion can be done with no issues. My guess is that in SL they just do a cheap job and focus only on swapping the transmission and getting the car moving and does not bother look in to anything else....I am sure even the labor that goes in to it is minimal with barely any effort and a lot of tugging and pulling that breaks other parts happen almost every time.

Regarding the Yaris,  my friend is the second owner. He didn't know it was a converted gearbox when he bought the car. The car was ordered through a permit by Toyota Lanka.  When he went to them for repairs he was informed by them that the car was a manual when they ordered it after checking their information. 

I thought it is intended to be used only with the tyre sealer. Glad that I cleared it. It comes in handy when you're nowhere near a tyre shop or a gas station and suddenly you realise one of your tyres has low pressure 

It's best to double check whether it's getting the tyre pressure accurately, sometimes those hand carry tyre inflators can be inaccurate 

I pump 34psi to my tyres as recommended in the manual. So the one tyre which seemed low pressure had 24 psi according to the inflator.

So I checked a normal tyre also and it was 34psi.  So I guess it is accurate. 

Yes....it is the size of a Vitz..length and width wise it is just like the Vitz. The SWB Terios was also the same size as the Vitz...

Yup. I contribute to TG SL and member esdeez is the deputy editor.

Proud of you guys

I think the jury is still not out on that yet....

For starters new engines which are lighter and low friction are "theoretically" not supposed to have that heavy crank vibration/gust when it stops and starts like the older engines. Also, I am sure the manufacturers would have accounted for the excess crank vibration that the mounts will have to under go when they designed the mounts. So far these cars seem to be handling okay...and the older ones are not as refined as the newer engines as well. However, the start-stop on standard cars seem to be a lot more smoother and vibration free than the start stops on those little kei cars.

Using the same logic wouldn't one think that Hybrid engines would have the same problem with the engine cutting on and off all the time ? And so far those seem to be holding up quite well too.

@Jor-el @iRage Thanks for the explanation. I have a friend who owns a BMW 520d 2013 and he was so worried about it. So he drives with idle stop switch off all the time.

Well...I seriously doubt the idle stop start process is going to break the engine mounts that much quicker than without it. Has anyone else reported it as a problem ? I seriously doubt all the 520d owners with idle stop have it turned off all the time.

Seems like people will have to be satisfied with Toyota Yaris, Mazda 2 and Honda City which are going around 6 M.

All of those agents at the Ceylon Motor Show were trying to promote these models than the corollas, civics and 3s

so this is the Yaris Sedan thats going for 6M ?

Yes.

We had to revert back from a 6-8 hours old backup. Due to that I regret to inform that the posts created during that time duration may have lost. We have shifted the forum upgrade process to next week.

Ok MADZ.

MADZ has visited my profile yesterday. Hope I haven't done anything wrong. (puppy face)

don't worry man I just checked your post history

Ha ha! Ok then.

I love that program and the FJ Cruiser. They are just trying to say that Sterling aftercare can be used with any car I guess.

Ah! Is that so? I thought it is only for the Japanese brands.

Ok, I'll try that. First I'll check it on Google and get to know the road. Thanks asrock

What asrock said. Take the High Level all the way.

But machan there's a lot of traffic @ Nugegoda and Kirulapona junction, Wouldn't it be the best to take the route via Pepiliyana, Kohuwala not Kirulapona and join the high level?

The simplest answer is Yes.

Ok , thanks Davy.

Thanks guys appreciate it much

Happy Birthday!

Thank you Joey

I can remember them. Most of them were fitted with new engines like Isuzu, Tata , Leyland

hehe yes. they were a bit comfortable compared to the tatas back then

Ha ha yeah.

That group is a set of extremists... They should take the "Nissan Presea" club members as an example.. we only posts Presea related posts and have never posted anything related to any other vehicle...

Panda morons feel the need to justify their purchase. A panda will fare no better in such an accident.

Indeed

Dashboard polish? Should try then.

By the way I found a bottle which says car tyre wet look spray @ keels.

Anyone use that?

if you want to give your tyres a wet look, drive the car in the rain

Lol, that's a good idea.

It's fun trolling but we should make sure not to get banned, otherwise we might miss the fun.

hmm used 2010+ mazda 3/axela seems pretty rare.

Agree... those Mazda 3s and 6s are so damn sexy!

Hell yeah!

Latio sounds really weird! Same goes with Sylphy..

Latio sounds weird and looks weird too! even the new model.

They're all govt. cars. The new Sylphys I mean.
