| ![]() GTO, Good to know that your Jeep has become your daily drive now. For me Jeeps were always a daily drive. Yes there is nothing like driving a SWB Jeep whether in city or OTR esp with the windshield down. ![]() |

I meant to say a weekend evening drive on Marine drive in Mumbai, Marina Beach in Chennai or in MG road in BLR with windshield down or even a quiet country side. I was not saying about commuting to work!!! I know its not fun. And if you do that you need to have your helmets on and have a shower in your office before you goto your desk. ![]() JC | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hi, I wanted to know whether the Mahindra Voyager - 4 cylinder XD-3P BM 2498 cc engine is the same as the Bolero's XD3P 2498 cc engine? |

I really doubt as Bolero's XD3P is mounted on under the bonnet where in the voyager's engine between the seat at lower level. There is a difference in the sump where the oil circulation tube for vacuum pump starts, This is one major reason for "Wanderlust Saga", check it in else in the forum. The block got some engine mounts which are not same for both these engines, you need to study the engine and feasibility before plonking in to the bay. | |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() You know, I finally figured out why the Army uses Mahindra Jeeps. No no, its not because of the diesel engines, off-roadability or abuse-friendly nature. It's all down to this : See, adaptability to changing environment is a must for any Army man. And Mahindra Jeeps sure teach you how to adapt. Get this, I've driven my Jeep without: a) Front disc brakes. The fluid lines burst, brake booster completely lost pressure, and I drove home on the rear drums. b) Without headlamps at night. Mahindra electricals have a mind of their own. c) Without wipers in the rains. They'd give up just when you need them the most d) This one takes the cake! I've gotten the Jeep home on front-wheel-drive!! How? The (rear) driveshaft once broke. No problem, put the Jeep in 4x4 mode (thus, power to the front wheels) and came home. Several more, but you get the gist of it. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() GTO, that sure is a beauty. I would not use anything else as my daily driver if I had one. Always wanted one but never seriously pursued one. Looks like a lot of research need to be done before committing oneself to own one of these. Experts like DB are heaven sent. Have fun. |

Drove back to town from panvel (45kms) at peak traffic time at night without a horn, indicators, or lights. Bought a 5 rupee whistle from a shop and used that to warn off people! | |
