I broadly agree, so wish MSIL acts fast on their missed opportunity as well and launch the Jimny 4x4 in India. It would be a more reliable and cheaper alternative to the Thar and we would be a lot more comfortable going in for as the second or third car in the family.

Could someone throw light on this please.
Well spotted. I don’t want to sound to sinister, but that is not normal. Not for a new engine or an old engine.

It definitely needs investigating.

Well said. While some minor shavings are acceptable on older generation new engines, this one seems to have loads of them in the oil filter and pretty big ones too!

Re: Brand new Mahindra Thar | Oil leak | Towed to dealer

When Karl Benz invented the automobile in 1886, he might have had reason to start such a thread.

But this contraption in 2021 ?

Not suggesting anything but I personally know a certain person, who got a brand new G-Wagon that never reached home and the transmission simply burnt itself.

Less than 100 km, the car had to be towed back to the dealership.
