Got 90k service done. Some 85,700 kms on the OD and 10,300 kms since last service. Must say that the Castrol EDGE lasted better than the motul. It was definitely in better shape than Motul xcess 8100, i used during previous 10k kms.
Bought 4L pack of Castrol Edge 5W40 SN from palika bhawan for Rs.2300. December 2011 import, made in malaysia. Service charges at Asian Motors Rs.1010 and Rs.140 for the oil filter. Total damage Rs 2300+1010+140= Rs.3450/-.
Got the air intake off and got the carbon cleaned of the throttle body valve. The pedal was sticky since last 1k kms or so (K&N anyone?). Its sorted now. Got K&N cleaned with air pressure, still to buy cleaning kit. Also got the AC cabin filter cleaned, its still in good condition after 7-8k kms. Last but not the least, the engine head cover bolts were a little loose, got them torqued.
The car was thoroughly washed and handed over in 3 hours. The good news is that after launch on pajero sport, Mitsubishi asked Asian Motors to expand its facility but for the time being the ASC has increased its working hours and will expand its facility once the number of pajeros go up. So, the new timings are from 8 in the morning to 8 in the evening.
However, the bad news is that the parts of cedia and lancer have further gone through the roof
. Didnt check actual prices but in general the prices have gone up by 40-60%.
Other update: Last week cousin's black cedia had two major issues but have settled for now. First, the Horn got direct and was blowing like anything without anyone being in the car. The car was parked when the horn started blowing on its own. My cousin opened the car and tapped the horn pad and it went off. Two days later the horn started blowing again when the car was parked and we decided to get it checked. Second, the ABS motor was kicking in when one had light foot over the brakes for more 2-3 seconds. It made a wierd grumbling noise. Took the car to asian motors and all the codes were checked. The wheel actuators for left and right front wheels were working on different speeds, so got it reset. For the horn pad, the fuse and codes were checked and we were told that the Horn pad has gone kaput. But the worst part is that the horn pad is along with the air bag is a complete assembly and costs about Rs. 60k. We were not to get it changed anyways. However, I asked the electritian to take off the stering wheel and all the wiring and install it back. Bhpian Raja Taurus had the same issue with his car and the airbag assembly was replaced under warranty.
Now, the ABS issue came back one day later and we took the car to our mechanic Raju to get the BS sensors (magnetic) cleaned. Its been 4 days since then and the isue has not come back. The horn too hasnt got activated since last 6 days, so looks like reinstalling the wiring did the job.

Yes Sir, i got the keychains on 31 March. Also got the Ralliart pedals last week. The quality of keychains were v good but I found them a little expensive. My brother got VW keychain last week of similar/may be better quality and its price was Rs.100 compared to Rs.285 plus Rs.91 ebay charges.
The ralliart pedals are of incredible quality. Must say they are worth every penny spent. Still to get them installed. In btw, fought with my 5 year old nephew to give me the hotwheels EVO scale model (costs only Rs.100 but not easily available, he got it from chandigarh. I was looking around at hotwheels stalls for evo for over 2 years now, didnt want bigger scale models as I wanted to place it on the dash). Gave my nephews N number of offers including 3 cars for this 1 car etc but he didnt bulge. Finally my sister hid the car that night and gave it to me
. Now, the day my nephew see the car in my car, I am DONE.
