          It is common in modern vehicles to have around 60 kms range when the low fuel light comes up. There is 5 – 8 liters of fuel depending on vehicle, its mileage & its fuel tank is still left at that point. Regards.

          as the fuel indicator lights up fuel left in the kitty is say 5-6 liters. there isn’t any point to drive on such limits unless & until it is utmost necessary. fuel at this stage contains some amount of impurities which can seep into & can damage filters if done on regular basis.i suggest don’t wait till the indicator to lit up..

          L&T is a new name in insurance and yes, I have also heard that their quotes are cheaper than the others. No idea about their service though.

          new players like SBI General & L & T to make there place in the market play cheap offer game. & when the claim comes out the process is pathetic i experienced the sayings of cashless claim settlement from SBI General but they are useless. so think wise & go with the old players though they are costly but they do have a good netwotk.

          Good to know! Every day, every time behind the wheel, you learn. By 500-700km, you should be confident enough to take your family out to a weekend getaway.

          About the spare wheel cover, its okay to purchase it since when you have a Flat tyre then you won’t like to have a dirty tyre with bird poops, dust etc. Bumper applique looks good and also if you carry luggage every now and then it will serve a purpose of have your top of the bumper from scratches, otherwise I haven’t seen anyone using it in here…[Read more]

          get the spare wheel cover, guess your’s ain’t alloy, thus the hanging spare wheel will give taxi cab look….. the rear door is for luggage thus no brazing from passenger boots on bumper, get the applique if you going to carry heavy baggages or gas cylinders something which are heavy and need a rest at bumper top after lifting from ground and…[Read more]

          I guess the Spare wheel cover is part of the deal if the wheels are NOT alloy. You need to buy them only for the alloy spare wheels. Regarding the use of the spare wheel, others in forum should be in a better position than me to advise. Personally if my wheel is alloy, I would love to flaunt it and also the black wheel on the back would visually…[Read more]

          I will take the rear view camera with IRVM display, provided it retains the day-night adjustment feature. That, and scuff plates. Everything else is useless.

          Take Yokohama A Drive. Decibel series may be super silent and grippy but is a tad too soft and prone to punctures.

          I am using Yoko C drives, great grip (wet & dry), reduced noise, better braking performance, zero punctures (almost 10k used). I was previously on Goodyear GT3s, one of which had an unfortunate blowout (at 22k with zero punctures) & hence the shift to Yoko. Being comfort oriented they are definitely on the softer side. I run on 195/60 R15 88V…[Read more]

          And yes, you could have got the same from aftermarket for a lesser price. But the difference isn’t much. Though the LED one’s looks good but I’d suggest you to go for the normal one’s as not only they’re cheap but also no chance of any issues. Cause the scuffs will be prone to hits, rain water etc.…[Read more]
