    Autogear වාහන වැඩි ඇයි?

    Which 3 series is this? BMW dont use DCT`s in the 3 series, only in a very few "M" cars.

    Autogear වාහන වැඩි ඇයි?

    Remember these? Same reason.. Newer and better technology.. People dont want to row their own gears anymore.. Also, Certain safety tech like Autonomous Emergency Braking cannot be made available with manual transmissions.. However, with certain sports cars (Porches, Ferrari's, even 90`s...

    Yeah, about 41k AUD if one can find at retail price... Personally I am not a big fan of the design and cant see a 40k watch there personally, but my friend who owns it seems to love it for the way it wears and the flexibility with strap change (though he owns many Rolexes and other stuff as well)..

    Got to try out a friend's VC today guys... I believe this is a Vacheron Constantin Overaeas 41mm.. Can't upload photos'.. will do later.. Attaching some pics.. It`s got a cool strap change mechanism, which is basically just pulling out and pushing in to change the strap (I haven't seen this...

    Nice! More like Longines on "milaananda" hands.. 😀 Good Lankan genes of ours.. :😀 Great minds think alike! I also dont plan on buying for the next two years or so, unless i get a call from Rolex for the GMT Master.. Or like a 50% off deal end up on my lap for some reason. There's a massive...

    CANADA හොද නැද්ද?

    Unless you have 3/4 children, can live easily with 10k (after tax)... Housing is what mainly affects cost of living based on the city. So if you keep housing costs equal, there`s no major difference in living costs (presume a relatively modest lifestyle with no excessive spending on 'wants'...

    Torque converter leak

    Yes machan, it`s sealed. Can still leak from the bearing/oil-seals at both ends.. it should leak to the bell-housing if this happens..

    Torque converter leak

    I dont understand how a torque converter can leak fluid to the outside. If the torque converter has actually developed a crack and is leaking, the car probably wont run right (gear change issues, shuddering, etc.. ) Places where a front-wheel-drive transmission can leak: * oil seal near the...

    Nice write-up machan.. Thought I'll share a some extra details. The caliper type above is called a 'Floating caliper'. Most of the time there`s only one piston (towards the inside of the car). There are two glide pins which helps the caliper to move and apply brake pressure from the...

    Longines joining the party with a Heritage Moonphase piece too.. With their low end releases, mostly yes. But this for example, is an in house movement with great specs.. But yeah, as a brand they are a bit meh! ------ Post added on 1689670006
