Thanks for the info. Is this relay easily available or should we do it (DIY)..

Available at every electronic shops, small sealed ones. Get ones used for soldering on to PCB, very compact and consumes very little current. 15-30 rupees only. One for each side.

For reference:

Thanks for the info.

Can you also suggest any timer relay for rear wiper so that it can come back to its position as in the front.

No idea on that. I think the 3rd wire in wiper motor is for wiper parking. Feeding it positive should bring back to normal position.

what is the wattage of your HID in the headlamp 35w or 55w?
also, is the VXI's foglamp as brittle as the ones on LXIs? I was thinking of putting LEDs in the foglamp.

I am running on 55W Phillips bulb, not HID. VXi comes with factory fitted Lumax fog lamps, and LXi does not. This one is cheap aftermarket foglamp.

H8 and H11 are interchangeable except some size difference in one of the notch, which most units can accommodate. Even the connectors are same. So there wont be much mod needed to swap them. Most people use 55W in place of 35w without any mods.

Lumax makes MGP foglamp.

DIY steering center correction . Steering wheel was pointed leftwards when straight after wheel rotation. Balanced, aligned and then corrected.




Had a workshop visit after some time. Found a new workshop, very reasonable and good job.

Changed brake pads. 549 for a set. 600 INR labor for 4 brake overhaul. Silencer had holes, got weldedm charged 250 for that. There was a dead frog inside engine bay and blood all over there. Washed it at 400. Total bill some 1.6k.

 

[deville_56]

Crossed 60k some times back, now closing 62k. Renewed insurance through Maruti. Default was HDFC Lombardo, but they gave option of almost all insurers in India. Opted New India Assurance. Total premium 3644 after 969 NCB. Forgot to add PA cover.




OT: Trivandrum's first Estilo. Carries VIP number and still got original Maruti-Kenwood Cassette player in it.

Is zen estilos steering direct fit to alto?. Advice me a good 3 spoke steering wheel for my alto :) and where did you find this fog lamps?

Is zen estilos steering direct fit to alto?.

Being Maruti, it should fit, but not 100% sure. Broke the gearknob and got Alto K-series one, so hope steering also fits

where did you find this fog lamps?

Got from Swaraj Motors Karamana. Original Lumax one for Alto was available at MGP. I think they got plastic benzels too.
