Hi Guys,
Have had some unwanted developments on the Nano Twist.
A couple of weeks after doing the last service - on 1st. September - I was filling nitrogen and checking the tyres and noticed there was slight wear on the outermost treads. Could not make out for sure and the tyre guy said it's nothing. Got busy with other things and a month later noticed that there was definitely tyre wear and the outer tread had almost worn away.

Reported this by email with pics to Tata Motors who suggested I visit an authorised MRF dealer to check the alignment and find out the reason for the tyre wear.
The MRF guy took one look at the tyres and said it's due to wrong alignment.
He put the car on the ramp and we found the alignment was way out. I mean really way out!! He also found that both front wheel bearings had "play" in them and would need to be renewed.
I took a print out of the alignment report and on confirming that they had the necessary spares, visited the Tata garage yesterday.
I have made an official complaint blaming them for the tyre wear due to the wheel alignment done at their workshop (which I never asked for) and also for the failed wheel bearings which could be a possible cause.
They have replaced the bearings and done the alignment again.
They have given me a letter to submit to MRF claiming defective tyres.
They fully expect MRF to reject the claim after which my claim will be submitted to Tata who should give me a set of two new tyres on a pro rata costing basis.
How long this is all going to take is anyone's guess!
They have also replaced the clutch cable which was wrongly routed from the time of delivery and hence was causing the "hard" pedal feel.
Even though I mentioned this at both the first and second service, no one found anything wrong with the cable whereas yesterday the senior mechanic found the problem in 2 minutes flat.
Checked all the gears before leaving the workshop and all seemed OK.
Drove out of the garage onto the highway and after about 8 kms when I had to slow down for a speed breaker, I found that I could not put the car in first gear at all. Managed to put it in second gear with great difficulty (and with a Volvo bus sitting on my tail with horns blaring) and went to the side of the road.
First gear & Reverse gear were not engaging at all. Second with great difficulty.
Anyway, managed to limp back to the workshop where they reset the cable setting and now all seems OK. In fact, the clutch is now as smooth as silk.
Just a word of caution to other owners. Keep a regular check on the tyre wear on the front tyres. The response of the mechanic with regard to the bearing failure was : "What do you expect? These are two wheeler bearings and are not expected to last very long"!!!! (I have done only 7000 Kms on relatively good roads).
Regards,
SS
