these kinds of things are expected given the Indian road conditions and i believe is normal. brake pads for me also lasted 45k kms .

must have a lot of patience to go over all the interior plastic with a toothbrush and vim hehe

will look forward to the maintenance cost ..... and yes some pictures would have been appreciated.
Hi,
Thanks for the tyre tip! You can be rest assured that the tyre is only a spare. I would anyway hardly do 140-150 kmph except as a test and for very short durations, late at night on an empty expressway!!!

Seems the tyres were waiting for me to praise them. One failed at the tyre wall when I drove for a couple of 100 metres with a flat tyre. The other which was a spare had a puncture which was in close proximity to three other punctures. Got new tyres yesterday but am happy with 65,000 km with a set of OE Tyres.

Cheers
