Ohh.. Forgot to mention that the same Maruti Omni (the one with the battery breakthrough) ended up with a seized engine on our way back from Goa to Mangalore!! Luckily, I had gone along with my friends, so had plenty of manpower. We hired a Tata 407, loaded the van onto it and took it to M'lore for repairs!!
We still have the van with us even after 15+ years .. No problem whatsoever after the engine was overhauled.
