Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 4 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

I was watching a Yangwang U8 struggling to make it up a muddy hill on Youtube. I was wondering why cant an EV be more capable off road than an ICE vehicle. Given the fact that this behemoth has 4 individual motor on each wheel it should be able to direct power to the wheel that has more grip and stop power to the slipping wheel. Cant be rocket science right?· 3 replies

I woke up one day and I now want to buy a W140. The brain works in mysterious ways. It definitely doesn't understand the concept of money since I am nowhere near affording one.· 2 replies

Question

Hi,
Please advice me on what should I do when I came across 2 times in changing gasket (I have nissan N16 super saloon, YOM - 2000, 1.6L) either to go for a new Engine HEAD or New Engine?
1st Occasion
- My careless driving (I never came across such a situation and didn't know what to do..but i was checking regularly the water level of over flow tank and the radiator)
- No cracks found in Engine Head and did not pace the head surface (after checking from a leading workshop which is located at Maradana)
- Replaced the gasket with a genuine nissan one.
- There were no any leaks found and however cleaned the radiator to make sure there are no longer any blocks (whether existed or not).
- Replaced thermostat valve with a genuine one, because there were no clue that the old one was functioning properly.
- Replaced Radiator Cap with a genuine one because there were some scratches at the rubber cap of old one.
- All of the mechanical part done by a experienced mechanic.
2nd Occasion
- Regularly monitored the engine heat level while driving and checking the water levels of radiator and over flow tank in daily basis.
- Replaced thermostat valve with a genuine one, it is not opening the valve at the correct temperature. (replaced with a genuine one)
- Replaced sensor which brings the temperature level of engine to indicate at the dash board temperature meter. (replaced with a genuine one)
- Both occasions,
- No any leaks found (Radiator and hoses)
- Replaced genuine thermostat valve. (both occasions)
Now i'm in the 2nd occasion and according to the mechanic (the Nissan agent in Sri Lanka which located at peliyagoda),they said, after proper scanning and testing this time also found that there is a issue pertaining to the gasket or engine head.
First occasion occurred in last December and again it happens now. Feel that if I fix the thing with existing engine / engine head from the agent it will cost me a lot because their labor charge is very high and if the thing happen again there is no point.
Please advise me what to do next?
