[quote=rjstyles69;3733437]My car used be serviced at NEXUS on new BEL Road. I suggest you go to the same place D-bhp'ain Nikhilb goes to.
It's here :

I had been to Bay 6 and had a good experience, Jeboy and Balachandra were courteous and very helpful. I got the complete front suspensions setup removed and refitted and figured out that the Ball joint and Tie rod end are the culprits for the noise coming in. A complete change for Ball joint, tie rod end and Lower arms will cost me about 29400.
One more issue I am facing now is the Clutch is becoming a bit harder compared to before. When I had changed the clutch about 5k kms before, the Clutch was feather lite and very smooth, Today got the clutch cable changed thinking thats the culprit. Previously when I had changed the clutch cable, it got sorted and was very free. But today even after changing the cable, it is just free but there is hardness in operating the Clutch.
Upon enquiring, I got to know that the Clutch that is coming for Baleno is MGP and not SGP. The folks at Pratham motors said thats normal for some cars to get hardness in the clutch after some driving etc., They somehow werent able to give me a convincing answer. I told them its just 5k run and how can it be feeling hard so soon.
I need clarity and information on this issue by fellow Bhpians and petrol heads...
1. Is the MGP Baleno clutch set worth it, I presume they will have a normal life of about 40K at best ? I guess it would even have impact of performance as my original clutch though had run about 65K was very good in terms of pickup.
2. I came to know that SGP clutch assembly with entire set is available for import from Delhi? Is it so ? if so any contacts and cost information ?
3. Any other reason why clutch is hard(not too much but its not completely light either), any other problem ? I have changed entire clutch assembly including plates, fly wheel, releasor bearing, cover, oil seal etc., just about 5K kms before.
4. Do i opt for some performance clutch upgrade like Exedy stage 1 etc.,?
Need some guidance to solve this problem or options to have better clutch response.
