wwhhooo really there light is good atleast compare to yellow light . they consume same power right ?

is that ilango by any chance ? just guessing
technically, they should consume less power. these are LEDs lined up in that small light setup!

and that is ilango by the way!

well most of aftermarket people have everything ready build so its same like changing bulb but i haven't tried till now so ilango can tell better


yesturday night came from himachal 1100 KM travel .
Driving in night specially on highway is pain thanks to lot of slow ,dangerous and parked truck .
Before leaving delhi got tank full as safari was already running in reserved fuel and came back in same fuel only but reserved light did turned ON as soon as i touched delhi border .

while running around in himachal . i was going toward taliwal from una and speed was 80+ by my surprise suddenly a road which was much very low at height compare to road appeared and i was in air almost 3-5sec and landed very hard on all tires . checked the car everything was in place :P . recently road widening are causing this type of road to appear most of time . If it was corolla or i10 i am sure there alignment would had been out .

Every day my safari goes out clean and shining and comes back to factory with mud all over it and as usual i make my workers to clean it thanks to road widening .

thinking of buying second hand maruti 800 or alto for himachal [thinking]

some random pic i clicked .

I stopped here in market as father had some work. some sardarji in his swift was playing music and with little boom boom sound . i got excited i started my Boom Boom [evil] music then was setting idle there so clicked this photo

The cars used in political rallies can barely survive in the condition which a true enthusiastic owner like you will maintain it. The unfortunate part is, Scorpios and Safaris are hot favourite for this purposes. Had your car been in the rally today, it would have come mucked up with dirt, and many posters. Thankfully, it has been saved this time. Perfect pictures for a Safari vs Scorpio comparison review, BTW.

Drive Safe,

Let’s hope that Safari will keep you happy in future. You’ll have a jackpot if you can manage to find a trusted local mechanic who understands Tata cars well. It’ll be better off than throwing away bucks on Tata’s infamous after sales. BTW, Do they sell second hand cars too in Mayapuri?

yes some dealer at outer circle sell but inside only accident cars are on sale like BMW,Merc,Corolla,civic,land cruiser, fortuner ,etc if you are lucky enough to find any accident meet car then you can buy it in dirt cheap before shop keeper start cutting the car into pieces and restored it to its full glory [evil]

I haven't found any mechanic but mechanic i have found have good knowledge . They are group mechanic which are expert on their work like one is expert in engine ,another is expert in suspension,another is expert swamping engine etc.

One of mechanic said to me that my safari rpm is bit then usually it should have been . So i will get it checked when i will get my work done .
