          Yes, considering your journey, today is a good day for filling up Nitrogen but trust me, in general it is a sheer waste of money. Tire related accident / breakdown is not just limited to Nitrogen v/s normal air but also depends upon other factors like side walls, tread depth / tire age, sudden puncture due to sharp objects, etc. Although I am from…[Read more]

      Recently one of my friend went for a re-paint job @ rear bumper. He did that from Mohan motors workshop, Near Science City, Kolkata. When he received, the bumper was looking all good and he also checked whether any scratches and dents were additionally gifted to him or not by the work shop guys(I told him to do that I learned from my experience). He inspected and it was all good. The next day when -- more --

          A repainted surface requires rubbing. It is always rough and becomes smooth after the rubbing is done. Normally, the painters do this on their own; its the final stage of the painting process. Seems it was not done on your friend’s car.

          well if he is ready to redo it, use sand paper to smoothen the surface, use waxing machine to wipe it off, smoothen it and then repaint it, … or else try clay bar … you can get this done in body shops, xtra premium outlets, renowned petrol bunks,,, it could cost you around 500/- …

          I guess you should just take the car back to the body shop who worked upon it. If they have not done it on their own, they ought to do it for no extra cost. What is mentioned above(sandpaper, clay bar, rubbing compound) is precisely what I am talking about.

          How long are you willing to keep the car under repairs? If a week is acceptable, get this done under warranty by the showroom guys. If you cant spare the car for more than a couple of days, visit an expert denter. Assuming a full fender dent-paint, it will cost around 3k.

          well fender damage means bumper damage, as its all plastic or fibre, you would have to replace it …. bumper will cost you around 3k excluding, fog lamps, head lights, or any damage…. opt for insurance, well its a month process, but could save you easily 3 to 4 k … only 30% of fibre cost the insurance company offers i guess… get it…[Read more]

          Sorry, I meant insurance. Bumper damage is the catch here, It being a plastic part will cost unless you have a zero depriciation insurance. If you do have it, then it become s no brainer. Give it to the showroom guys and get everything repaired under insurance for no cost.

          Thats a seven year old car. When was its radiator last flushed? Get the radiator flushed if the same has not been done during the last 12 months. Throw away the coolant as of now, and refill with just RO water. The radiator might have to be opened multiple times till the problem is solved, so no point spending money on coolant again and again.

          Safari has the best ride quality and the worst handling(one of the reason is its ladder frame chassis).I am not sure about the ford ecosport.Ertiga has a good ride quality but not compare able to the safari, its handling is ok it is not that great but not that bad too.While on the other hand duster will make you feel pretty confident when you…[Read more]

          ride quality, the safari tops the chart followed by duster, ecosport and ertiga …. in handling duster stands out the best, … overall pick would be a duster, … ecosport is stylish, taller and the powerful one with ecoboost, but it ain’t that sturdy as the duster, … you planning to do nasty things, get the duster …. cheers !!!!

          The Duster, Safari as well as the Ecosport have excellent ride quality. The Safari is the most comfortable vehicle though as it has the most space and the biggest and the most comfortable seats. As for handling, nothing comes close to the Ecosport. The Duster is pretty good in its own right but not even close to the Ford.
