I am more than satisfied post MLD Retrofitment. Post MLD Retrofitment, the TUV300 has become a go anywhere vehicle of the family, with increased mileage figures of 14 kmpl in Normal Mode and 16 kmpl in Eco Mode on the highways @ Speeds in the excess of 90-100 kmph.

Post MLD Retrofitment, the vehicle feels more planted on the road and is well behaved on the roads.

With regards.

Thanks a lot for your response Ameeth.

Is it possible to confirm if the TUV 300 T10 comes equipped with an MLD? I am actually quite far and the service adviser told me over phone that T10 comes equipped with MLD (I told him to confirm any ways). So, if you can once talk to your service adviser or manager and confirm my two queries, then it will be a great help:
1) Does T10 get an MLD right from the factory?
2) Are they offering the MLD on the current cars too? The car in question is a November 2017 vehicle.

I have a Dec manufactured T10 and was told it has no MLD. I have this under chassis picture but probably cannot make out on the MLD

Thanks for your response diyguy, did you try to get the MLD kit installed on your TUV? IMO it should have been a standard item as it increases the vehicle's capabilities by leaps and bounds.

no I haven't, I have had other challenges that I had to overcome with my TUV situation . I haven't driven it enough yet to know one way or another, to be honest.

I too haven't faced any wheel spin in the last 2 months of ownership. Have drove up varying inclines but never had a problem. Guess they may have tweaked suspension or something.

Faced Wheelspin only once. Regarding other issues, the doors rattle. It couldn't be fixed despite their efforts in their first service. Finished 5500 km and nearing three months of ownership.

Interesting renders of how TUV 300 face lift might look like. Looks great if you ask me. I just hope mahindra introduces more features in it.

Does anyone know how to secure the spare wheel and wheel cover from theft? One T8 owner who I met at the service center told me his spare wheel and cover were stolen and asked me to get a lock for it. However am not clear what kind of lock and how one would attach it.

Hi, there is a provision for using a padlock in the bolt that holds the spare wheel cover. You can find this after removing the Mahindra emblem on the wheel cover. Refer to post number 8 for the pictures in this thread. Link to post number 8 is here :http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/offici...ml#post3835566[/u]

Hey architect, what a coincidence. Just today I got fixed my left door rattling issue in M&M's 75 point Mega Service Camp. The only solution to fix it is adding foam bolstering. Although it was a very minor rattle observed only when going over rough roads or speed breakers, I am one person who cannot withstand even the minutest rattle.

I want to thank the kind souls on this forum who patiently guided me through my long purchase journey.

My 2018 silver TUV T8 now stands parked next to my Silver 2008 Honda Unicorn and it has succeeded my Silver 2011 Nissan Rogue which I had while in the USA till Oct 2017. Oh, and I forgot - my sold 2008 silver Swift Vxi which I had till I flew to the US.

I'm all about the silver!



It bounces and floats its way about the city and its innate torque and ride qualities remind me of the rented Chevrolet Silverado and Dodge Ram pickup trucks that I have driven.

My dad who has never bothered about cars has already remarked to my sister - it looks like a battle tank in as many and exact words. I let out a chuckle.

Will post a review soon.

Thanks again!

An update on the touchscreen in the T10 AMT - was driving home from work last night and about, 30 mins into the drive got a call on my phone. Though it was connected via Bluetooth to the stereo the call didn't route to the speakers. The stereo had frozen though radio was on, no controls worked including the power button. It finally turned off only when I switched off the engine.
Have also had issues with the GPS in the past when it would say the system is booting but would never come up. I guess the niggles are still very much there for the oem stereo.

Welcome to the club. Happy miles ahead.

Have now crossed 1100km on my T10 AMT and am now pretty comfortable with the auto shift. It is pretty crappy, no doubt the gear changes, and the slow down in speed when the gear shift happens, but once you get used to it the drive is a breeze. Did about 200km on ECR in Chennai and made the mistake to try and overtake in auto mode. Was scary as the higher rpm caused the gear shift and slowdown in the overtake maneuver. Next time did the overtake in manual mode and then it was fine.

Recently on a trip to Nainital, the TUV T10 again faced the wheelspin issues at a couple of places, in fact once it was quite a struggle to make it go while going uphill and the surface was quite wet. What is disappointing is that even hatchbacks and compact SUVs were easily managing the same patch without a hiccup.

When the car went to A.S.S., I particularly called the service manager and got it noted down to him but he probably decided to ignore my word/complaint as it's over 2 weeks since I talked to him over the phone and he is yet to get back to me. Kindly drop in your suggestions guys.
