I had a problem with an oil leak. In my case, they replaced all the oil seals worth almost Rs 8,000, but only after a letter to the regional manager.
This problem came around 38,000kms. Is this generic? Mine is a 2007 3.0-litre. But apart from that, my dicor has been fairly reliable. Little niggles do come and go but haven't threatened it's roadworthiness. Another thing to note, I had just shifted to Delo 400 from Chevron. Don't know if the seals were from the new oil, but have shifted back to the Tata standard.
Extended warranty replacements include all oil seals, rear window winder motor, headlamp leveler and starter repair (the starter was my fault). I can safely say mine has been running quite well and has never left me stranded even on cross country drives. This especially if you consider the horror stories of the initial batches of the 2.2.
But with Tatas you do have to take extra care and keep an eagle eye out for anything out of the ordinary.

If reliability means not being stranded, my safari has never left me stranded even in the most obscure places of this country.
Regarding the oil dissapearing;
I had checked for smoke by following my Safari in another car with someone else driving my Safari, shifting gears at 3-3.5k rpm, but no smoke was visible.
The plates underside had no oil anywhere in the foam either which I had personally checked when I got a local mechanic to check for oil leak initially.
So i term it a oil disappearing rather than a leak. The oil was apparently entering the intercooler where it should not enter, according to the TASS.
This whole episode has left me quite confused.
With the new turbo, the Safari now feels less responsive now than it used to however... or maybe im dreaming.
It probably could be due to excess oil in the sump.
I have to get that checked today/ tomm.
I do not know whether I am posting at right place or not. If I am wrong then please delete this post. I own a Tata Sumo Grande. When I accelerate the car and the speed is around 60 there is a little vibration in the floor of the middle row. In last row it is more prominent. With vibration rattling sound also accompanies. Is this a natural phenomenon in all diesel cars or there is a problem in my car.

From the Swift Turbo fiascos mentioned in the forum, every drop of excess oil is going to make your turbo a time bomb.
Drain the excess oil as soon as possible.
I will be getting my 45k service done soon.
What are the things that I need to look out for. I will check the service booklet for the regular stuffs.
As per the forum I need a ECU update for the turbo does not kick in at 1400 RPM. It kicks in much later. Mine is the first batch of 2.2's.
There is a khat noise that comes on releasing the clutch. Especially on hill roads this becomes quite audible while driving and changing the gear (1st & 2nd). Mine is a 4x4. Someone I met from this forum at Autolinks told me to get the 4x4 kit changed. Can someone explain and expand on this.
I am also planning to replace the tie rods and bush. Is this advisable and would this be under warranty. If not what would be the cost. I find the suspension on city road quite noisy and hard.
The centre pin needs to be greased as there is a khat noise on turning the steering when not in motion.
Any other look-outs. GURUS please advice. Thanks.
All suspension components cease to be under warranty once 35000kms are over.
Infact, I had to pay for bushes even at 31000 as they are rubber and come under "wear and tear".
Why do you want to replace them. Is there a problem?

Like I said. Its quite hard and noisy. This gets onto ones nerve.
Anyone needing service of the remote locking dongle like battery replacement etc., can contact their rep - Shafiq on 9538904232
Got the number from the Concorde Service center on Hosur Road.
Why do you need to call somebody to change battery. Buy a similar battery(most common battery in the market), and fix it yourself.
In Srinagar, our remote went kaput, I changed the battery myself.

TSK, its for those like me who are technically challenged :), but still love our cars enough to be here. and even If I could do it, I would not find that tweeny little screwdriver required to open the dongle..
and for those times when the battery is good and the remote goes kaput.
cheers!

Me too, changed it myself.
Unless it fries, then also they will order a new remote which needs to be trained for your locking system and can be done manually by you. Procedure is given in the manual supplied to you along with a mesh of cables.
Gurus please help me solve my problem that I have already mentioned on this page. It is urgent as I have to leave for a trip.

Get your grande's wheel balanced properly from a competent wheel alignment center at lucknow. that should considerably help, unless and until there is a severe mechanical issue.
Hello Rahul, Thanks for supporting and I will definitely show it in some workshop. I would like to know whether anyone has experienced this type of vibration in Safari or Scorpio? I find it very strange.

Could it be a loose silencer pipe?
