Reverse camera is being told 7600

They said warranty will get void if I get it done outside
This statement kishore by the dealership is pure C R A P. They are simply pushing it on you and in today's time, who buys additional stuff from the dealers? There are same brands available at half the cost in open market and after-market workmanship is now a days at par to dealer's without any warranty issues. You may safely consider an after market alternative for the reverse camera. I have seen in my relative's new Dzire, he has used a IRVM which has the rear view camera display stuck on it and it looked pretty good.

I faced an issue while driving today :

It was B2B traffic. I was about to climb a speed breaker, and the car stalled. I can understand that there was a mistake from my side in handling the clutch.

But then the engine did not crank at all. I tried to start it 3-4 times. It did not !
Then the 5th time it did start. I did not understand this behaviour.

Any one can explain that ?

Buddy its pretty normal. It happens with many cars and drivers. Half issue is with the coordination of speed-gear and clutch and the other half is that if the speed is too low and the clutch is left all of a sudden on a bump and the accelerator is immediately pressed to increase speed then it happens. If in such case the car stalls then be calm and in 5-10 secs crank it again and it will be good to go. This mainly happens when due to incorrect coordination of clutch the gear and self motor stall suddenly and thereby the car refuses to start for 5-7 seconds. No major issue in that just use the right footware and be precise in co-ordination from now on. It might also happen when you may proceed after waiting at a traffic signal. So, be careful and alert and do not get pissed off when the traffic behind honks due to sudden stalling of the car for a few seconds. When you are waiting at a signal or slowing down to pass a bump/breaker never speed all of sudden and just gradually press the clutch and shift the gear and then accelerate.

The accessories on paytm are pretty cheap

I was surprised to see the prices when I checked zest accessories in paytm website

Apart from seat covers and reverse camera almost all can be bought from their site

Anybody installed cng in zest?
I spoke with the my CNG dealer who is the main dealer of Lovato in Pune. Following were there comments on this topic
1) TATA is testing Zest with Lovato Suqential Kit.
2) The Reports are not yet disclosed.
3) The biggest issue that is currently faced is if a CNG tank is installed at the rear there is no option to remove the spare Tyre.

Discounts are there only for 2015 left out stock.
Zica is a 3 cylinder engine car, zest is 4.
Xms in hyderabad is around 5.6-5.8 on road so we can say it to be 20k cheaper in panvel
Discounts on automatic will only be there if they have stock else there are high chances of not getting any discounts as they are brought on order

Are you sure 5.8 OTR for Zest XMS RT? I got a quote just now for 6.73 Zest XMS RT. ON road with around 50K discounts.
