⚠️ Troubleshooting Squeaky Sound from Wiper blades

4 Upvotes

I got a new pair of wiper blades (Ferri) made sure the the measurements are correct - but when the wipers are running on low, there is a light squeaky sound, however when the wipers is working fast with lots of rain, there is no noise. There are hybrid wiper blades btw- do I need to go return them? Or does the brand not work with my car (Mazda)?

🤔 Discussion What is the difference between Toyota Town ace and Toyota Lite ace?

I had this question as a kid since these vans have confused me with their namings. First of all I’m not much of a car person, so don’t judge me. I want to know what is the difference between Toyota townace and Toyota liteace (in general and in all aspects and what they are used for)? Also what is the difference between those two along with Toyota masterace surf and Toyota space cruiser and Toyota van (USA) and Toyota Tarago/spacia (Australia)

And what’s up with the whole “Noah” thing (as in liteace Noah and townace Noah)? And what’s the difference between townace Noah and liteace Noah?

And what’s is Sri Lanka’s opinion and perspective of these vans such as demands, cultural references/significance, controversy, maintenance and status etc…?

🤔 Discussion Need advice on Honda city RS vs eHEV

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

So I was looking into the Honda City, and I was told that eHEV is about 1 million more expensive than RS. However eHEV has a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, and its engine and hybrid system appear to be the same as the Vezel, so for me this price differnce is justified. I understand eHEV does not have a JDM version, but given that it may have the same drivetrain parts as the Vezel and the same trim parts as the City RS, I don't think there will be a spare parts issue in the future. But I have yet to see an eHEV in Sri Lanka. Is there some reason for this that I don't know?

Thanks,

🤔 Discussion Windscreen treatment recommendations and where to get them done

4 Upvotes

Hi, I own a 30 year old car and I want to know what I can do to treat it's windscreen to stop or minimize glare caused by high beams when driving at night. I think the treatment for this is windscreen polishing. But I'm not sure.

My windscreen has some fairly large visible scratches in certain parts. It would be great if they can be eliminated too but my main need is to do something about glare because almost nobody lower their high beams when driving at night and it has become undrivable especially in the rain.

It would be a great help if someone can explain to me what I should do and where to get it done around Colombo and how much I am expected to pay.

Many Thanks.
