Visited the workshop yesterday to check the status. All work is almost done, just fitting of fog lamps and few trials are left. Hoping to get the vehicle tomorrow (Friday) as today is a weekly off in MIDC.
Some of the major replacements / additions were battery, rear wiper motor, driver side window motor, suspension bushings, new set of side-steps, power steering belt, bellow (the old one was torn), all break pads, front cigarette lighter, etc. All oil changes including filters to be considered as well.
There were few repair works like the middle seat was not getting locked in upright position, some welding work was required. I guess even rear door lock is changed.
Overall it looked nice though I will have to drive it for a few hundred km before I can make any comments. But I am sure my feedback would certainly be positive about TASS, at least for Pandit auto workshop at Bhosari (Pune.)
Will paste a copy of bill here once I get it. I guess I will have to prepare mentally for considerable bills and wait times for servicing a vehicle like Safari. But that should be fine as owning and driving a Safari is a different experience altogether :)
Wanted to put some big lamps (something like Halogens), so any suggestions would be appreciated. Will post few more pictures of the vehicle (interior & exterior) once I get it and would love to get some inputs to make it really dashing!!!
Cheers.
