BHPian ![]() | ![]() Guys do you know where you can buy Honda Touch-up paint (Taffeta White NH578) in India? There are several websites that offer this, located outside India (including Amazon), but I would prefer buying one locally. |

| ![]() Over the weekend we drove to Agra/Fatehpur Sikri and back. There were 4 of us and there was some luggage, so you could say the car was almost fully loaded. What I noticed was that I needed to keep the steering wheel turned ever so slightly (but not imperceptibly) to the right to make the car track true straight. This was surprising because we didn't hit any major potholes at all. After returning and while driving to office today I noticed that I could keep the steering neutral as usual to track true straight. Now, NH2/Sohna Road are very different from Gurgaon roads, but keeping that aside, what might cause this sort of behaviour? Could it be as simple as slightly lower/higher air pressure in one tyre? Will alignment + balancing + rotation - which I intend to do as part of the upcoming 25k service - solve it? Or is this a sign of some suspension trouble (I hope not!)? Thanks a ton! Regards, spadix |

![]() Anyway, I'll get the suspension bits thoroughly checked as part of the 25k kms service. Mostly the SA will tell me everything is just fine. I don't expect any better from them. Regards, spadix | ||

| ![]() Does anyone know if engine mount gets replaced free of charge under ''extended'' warranty? |

| ![]() Most roads have a very slight camber so having to maintain a slight right bias is not unusual. However, it may still be worth it to get an alignment checkup. |

My cousin had brought the same COM-Paint (with finisher) & painted his Milky White Alto to a small portion of the front bumper. The paint did come out good, but after 3-4 months it was sore to look at the discolouration of the painted surface. The paint had turned into slight yellowish white (more like the OPTRA white). My advice, Use COM-PAINT if your car colour is either BLACK or SILVER, the paint matches & stays, but for any other colour I wouldn't advice on COM-Paint as a replacement. | |

In other news, the right rear tyre suffered a puncture and I got it repaired today. I noticed it losing more air than the other tyres around 2 weeks back. This was just before the NH24 run. I didn't get the tyre attended to then and there were no issues during the 2 trips in the interim. Routine visual checks looked normal, but not today. So I got the pressure checked and got the tyre repaired. The puncture repair shop guy drilled a small hole into the tyre, pulled out the nail, put some small chemical into the hole and smoothened it out. The original valve was replaced with a Dunlop valve on which they offered a 1 year guarantee. Total cost = 50 (puncture) + 150 (valve). I'll take pictures and post them here. The solution somehow looked too "ghetto" to me. I have no idea how tubeless tyre punctures are repaired. Regards, spadix | ||
