Common issue with Micro Panda (Geely LC 1.3)

2012-01-19T09:00:00.003+05:30

Guys, my car has now exceeded 13,500km and found few issues that cannot be rectified by the Sri Lankan Micro Company namely: (1) Rear Door Alignment and (2) Power Steering Rack noise

1. Rear Door Alignment (Production failure)

This is a disaster: Noise coming from the rear door, regardless whether I drive on the carpet road or just a normal road. I have given my car to the company for repair several time and they did several adjustments. It can’t be fixed. Finally they told me this is because of single shock to lift the rear door (production failure). So far, no replacement for either the shock or the door.

2. Power Steering Rack Noise (Production failure)

From the day I brought my vehicle, this issue was there. Despite my bringing this problem to the attention of the company whenever I put the car for repair, the problem was not fixed. Finally, an advisor promised me a replacement the next time. Because of this, I'm unable to take full left turns or right turns as well as whenever my right tire went into a pot hole this irritating sound will come.

Dear Krishan Wasalage

The average fuel consumption in China for LC 1.3 MT is about 7L/100KM, but it also depends on your driving habits, the road condition and other aspects.

I found this on the Panda LC Owner's Manual. If you own a Micro Panda LC 1.3, please turn to page 99 and see official fuel type recommendation form The Geely company.

"This vehicle is only filled with unleaded gasoline of #93 or above; otherwise it will cause poisoning if catalyst of three-way catalysis system and engine knock."

ALTO K10 vs. Micro Panda (Geely LC 1.3)

2011-03-29T09:23:00.002+05:30

First off all, I want to blog about Maruti ALTO K10 car. Before I start this, I want to say that I'm just an ordinary person who doesn't have much knowledge on technology. I wanted to buy an ALTO car because most of my friends recommended it to me. So I have visited the showroom located in Borella. When I was entering the building I saw the new K10 car and straightaway I headed to that direction. The car is nice and I wanted to see its options which left me disappointed.

When I was seated on the driving seat (after seat adjustment) I found that there is not enough space at the back seat and front (Knee space). Basically the sales person told me the car comes with full options. But when I inspected the side mirrors it came only manual adjustment levers; only the front doors are supported with power-shutter facility; no radio; driver's seat is really small; and, 1000CC Engine.

The car comes to a total of Rs.14,250,000/-. My budget for the car was at 1.5 max, and there were no other solution for me. So I left the showroom and on my way to home, I saw the Micro Showroom located in the same area. So I thought of dropping by.

To tell you the truth, the Micro showroom has changed my perception on car. I told the Micro sales person that I want to check cars within the budget of 1.5. So he showed me the New Micro Panda (Geely LC 1.3) car. The car is really awesome --- nice design, enough space (knee space) between seats. It comes with full-options. (Including Power Mirrors). Basically once I buy that car, I don't have to do anything. Also the car has a full band tuner with CD, MP3 player that supports USB. When I inquired about the price, it left me with a smile. It was just Rs.13,950,000/-. I told the sales person that I want a test drive. The car is really stable. I drove in a speed 110 KMph and the breaks are working perfectly, not like ALTO. Micro Car comes with VOLVO technology 1300CC Engine. This car perfectly fits me.
