Thanks for clearing that up. I will try to source LAMDA/ AISIN FWH's. But 3 times is pretty expensive. I will try to source hubs from Mayapuri. I have seen them being sold there. Infact a friend of mine has AISIN on his ex-army gypsy, bought from mayapuri itself, working great till now. Thanks for the tyre info. I think that Ill opt for BF Goodrich too and will do the change in a couple of months!!! Just an update. I've decided to give the vehicle at MASS (Motorcraft) this weekend for a normal service and complete checkup. As I am out of station this weekend so will leave the vehicle on friday and pick it up on monday. In the meantime they can check it up completely, do the normal service and all. Further is it recommended to change the transmission fluids too? (differentials, gear box and transfer case) or I should leave it to them? Any other aspect that I particularly need to take care of as this being a 2nd hand vehicle??? Please advise?? | ||||

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() @dwarka @Starter Ill do just that! Completely change all the fluids. In anycase the vehicle has run for 42k kms. It will be a new start and will just cost a little extra! Another thing bugging me is that the seller dint have the duplicate key and I took the delivery with only one key. So I wanted to ask, is it advisable to change the complete lock assembly, firstly because of safety and security secondly if incase I loose the only key I will be totally stranded and will have no option!!! What is the consensus on this??? |

| ![]() Harjeev, For safety sake better change the locking system or install electronic system, which costs you around 3-4 k now. Make a duplicate for ignition system. |

Not sure if your Gypsy is equipped with an engine immobilizer. If yes, i would not suggest getting a duplicate made. If you have the owner's manual with you, try to find the key number written on it and order for a duplicate set from MASS itself. If not, maybe you can check with the owner, the dealer from where he bought the vehicle and see if they've maintained this information in their database somewhere. If not, you can just get the whole thing replaced ![]() Cheers, Deepak | |

| ![]() Don't forget to have the cambelt changed as well. Nothing beats that peace of mind. |

Second hand. OTR. No help nearby. You against the elements. At the very least I would change all belts and hoses, service the alternator and self starter, and clean out the fuel tank (and check it for rust), change all fluids, including brake oil, and change all filters. Check wheel alignment. And when changing the oils, check carefully what comes out. For running about the city, need not do all this, just stick to Maruti's prescribed routine. Sutripta | |

| ![]() Hi Harjeev As suggested by others already - Get all fluids changes, transmission, diff, gearbox.. etc. I would suggest change the locks if the owner gave you only one key. You never know what happened to the other one. Can be risky. Like Bigman has suggested, check the cambelt change time in your service manual and if it is close then get it changed now. Also, when you go to Mayapuri can you pls pick up a set of Asin FWH for mee too. ![]() Cheers Ankit |

Maruti recommends re-greasing every 20,000 kms but not many people do it. Check with the previous owner if he got it done at the 40,000 kms service. Cheers | |
