The service guy then took me to the inhouse stock store and it was confirmed as 1200 as the cost plus labour and taxes would get it till 2k. I am not sure whether changing locks cost this much. What if i buy these from MASS, Can i get it installed from outside. |

I bought the lock-set 3 days ago from GAPL - Delhi's biggest MGP parts supplier for 938/- including taxes. And it does not have a lock for petrol tank lid, instead it has a lock for glove-box. \N |

My Gypsy is on full clutch setting (cant move the vehicle with 3/4 clutch release) hence asked for a clutch setting, the service engineer pressed the clutch a couple of times and told me that the clutch plate is gone, cost of replacement is 7.5K. I have asked him to hold on to it. I just changed the complete clutch setup. 3k for OEM full clutch assembly(CP, PP & Br) and 1k for labour. before that pls do the hand break test to check if the clutch needs to be changed. He told me that cannot be done as it might make the brakes loose. This is something i didnt understand. Can someone help please. Crap. It can be done, 15 min job again. The cost of parts vis a vis the cost of labour is nearly the same at MASS. Here are the approx costs. EngineOil - Cost 1000 Labour 760 Brake Oil - Cost 250 Labour 290 Coolant - Cost 1200 Radiator Flush - Cost 450 labour 255 Throttle Body Lubrication (God knows what this is) - Cost 175 Labour 315. is this that big a task? Injector Cleaning - Cost 348 Labour 480 The consumables cost is ok but you should pay a total labour of Max 1k for every thing put together I asked for the cost of locks and was told approx 3000 (for 4 locks - Ignition, driver door, petrol lock and rear door). I argued saying it was not so expensive as Kaushik had mentioned approx 700 for the same. The service guy then took me to the inhouse stock store and it was confirmed as 1200 as the cost plus labour and taxes would get it till 2k. I am not sure whether changing locks cost this much. What if i buy these from MASS, Can i get it installed from outside. Get the locks from outside, i am sure it will cost you less than 800. Cost of painting (without the hardtop) with bodywork, rust treatment etc is 30K at MASS. This paint will be only from the outside and will not cover the engine bay etc. If i am not wrong Devang was telling me that Maruti sells new Gypsy body(white) for 30K, isint that a better idea than getting the current one re done Again, is this cost justified. It seems the parts are cheap but labour is where they recover their moolah from The Gypsy will be back on Tuesday, Shall post updates then. Get it back now and do the work outside, ill send you contacts for all the jobs. |

Now where in Mumbai do we get MGP parts. If such is the case, then better to buy the required parts and get it installed by a trusted mech. You get them at Laxman Auto @ opera house - Auth dealer I think i should only learn how to change most of these things. The labour charges are driving me nuts. This way half what i plan to do will never get done. Perfect idea, spend more time at the workshop. Be sure it will help when you are stuck somewhere. My GF threatened to leave me(during the Gypsy restoration period) because i was not giving her enough time. I would go to the workshop straight from work and spend the entire weekend there from morning to evening, sometimes midnight:D Secondly can anyone tell me if i dismantle the hardtop, how many parts does it dismantle into. |

A Gypsy body for 30K ??? I hope you haven't misspelled it. Engine comes for 60K, that means the rest of the interiors and the chasis will turn up to around 1L. So the total cost turns out to be 1.90 L. Cool. Turns out that the Gypsy is the cheapest car in India. :uncontrol How come Maruti charges 5.37L ex-showroom Delhi for the Gypsy. Frankly speaking I don't think the Gypsy body will be available in the first place (Considering Maruti takes a hell of a lot of time to deliver Complete Gypsy's), and even if it is available it would cost at least 1.5L and above. Just my 2 cents Regards, Zorro4X4 |
