The BG-107 is a very good thing to do on a regular basis. Engine smoothness and performance is fairly enhanced. Probably also the relatively low cost of doing it also makes it more appealing. You should try it!

There is a lot of flak for Safari in this forum. But I have not been convinced otherwise. Unless some manufacture produces a more comfortable, handsome and an almost go anywhere vehicle for under 10 lacs, I think I am going to be a repeat customer of a Safari for my lifetime. I am hoping to add my third successive Safari very soon.
And keep taking very good care of your ride.
Thanks rrsteer! 350k is well, a lot! When did you overhaul the engine or incur any big expenses on your way to 350k?
Totally agree with you on the rationale - Sub-10 there's very little that you can get but I still think what would be perfect is to be able to have an 2.2 VTT LX 4x4 - that would make it very accessible to people as that would roughly be a 1-1.5L less than the cheapest 4x4 option - the EX 4x4. And then I would also be able to get grey interiors instead of beige
