Last post by David_Christopher - Jul 31, 2025, 09:19 AMමචං, මම මාස ගාණක් මගේ මුල්ම වාහනේ ikman.lk එකේ හොයන ගමන් ඉන්නේ. අන්තිමට මට එකක් සෙට් වුනා. ඒක බොරලැස්ගමුවේ 2004 TD5 ස්ටේෂන් වැගන් එකක්, අයිතිකරු රු. මිලියන 4.2ක් ඉල්ලනවා, ඒත් ගාන සාකච්ඡා කරන්න කැමතියි.
ඡායාරූප වල නම් හොඳ පෙනුමක් තියෙනවා - කිසිම මලකඩයක් පේන්නේ නැහැ, ඇතුල ඔක්කොම පිරිසිදුයි වගේ.
මගේ ප්‍රධාන ප්‍රශ්නේ තමයි TD5 එන්ජින් සම්බන්ධයෙන් මම සම්පූර්ණයෙන්ම අලුත්. ඉලෙක්ට්‍රොනික සිස්ටම් එක සහ ගෑස්කට් ගැටළු ගැන හැමෝම මට අනතුරු අඟවනවා. ඒක ප්‍රශ්නයක්ද නැත්තම් බොරු කටකතා විතරද?

Last post by James_Stephen - Jul 28, 2025, 09:45 PMTruth is – it depends on how well it's been looked after. Old Defenders (like 300TDi and TD5) are simple and reliable if serviced properly. But if you neglect them or buy one with bad history, they'll give you trouble for sure.
Puma models need more care with electronics. But overall, if you service regularly and don't abuse it, it's a solid ride. Just don't expect Japanese-level reliability, this is more about personality 😎

Last post by Bhagya_Sandun - Jul 23, 2025, 06:51 PMDefenders actually hold their value quite well in Sri Lanka, especially classic models and good-condition imports. There's strong demand from enthusiasts and off-road fans. If you maintain it properly and keep it clean, you won't lose too much even after years of use — especially with import restrictions boosting demand for older units.

Last post by Bhagya_Sandun - Jul 23, 2025, 06:45 PMYes! Take the old estate route via Bandarawela – Passara side and cut through the 21-hairpin section. Some muddy patches during rain. GPS essential. Talk to local estate folks before entering private sections. Epic views guaranteed!
