Schoudhury, Dude try for Turtle waxing and washing products too, which are one among the best. Heard that formula1 has a lot of fakes in market.

By the way which was that shop near to HSR BDA?

To give u and idea how much luggage we had, we hired to two coolies to transport the luggage from platform to the car.
Hi Schoudhury, Thats really cool!! Even without using the split seats, I too felt there is space left to load some more after loading those baggages you see inpicture.

And im also look for mudflaps like u have in your car.
It was given as a default accessories. I think it might be the same one as you got.

With mud flops I'm fine. But I really hate the floor mats they have given as default. The current one looks very plastic and it moves along with the leg spilling mud into the carpet when people give little pressure on the mat while adjusting themselves inside the car. I think I have to replace it with some quality rubber mat which covers the floor completely. The additional dicky mat I got for around 300rs does a good job. Do you use the default floor mat or got it changed?

Also planning to buy a vacuum cleaner which is handy but powered enough to suck the mud/sand from the carpet. Without that now its a pain for me to clean it. Need to visit a shop to get some idea.

Yes i checked with a couple of dealers about the flaps and found that they dont have these kinda mud flaps any more.
No yaar im also still stuck with those mats , i agree they are not so good and gets dirty very soon.
I checked out a couple of transparent mats in Reliance autoshop in HSR and they were costing around 1k, and they looked pretty good .Will get in sometime.
Vacuum cleaner will be good, specially the small one, saw a couple of them in the same store.


I guess we should meet up this week sometime in the evening,as i think gaddiwala is also in blore and will be here till friday.
So let me know where we can meet up along with Neo and other Ritz owner.
I got mail and saying my thread has been updated by him,but could not find the post,not sure what the deal is .
Anyways here is what i got.

You can try pasting Velcro strips under the mats to prevent slipping. Cost is only less than Rs. 40/-
Check out my thread for details.

I heard that if we do the upgrade to 90/100 with relay , later the glass starts getting dark and some cracks also starts appearing.If that's the case what all other options i have for the light upgrade.

Hi SChoudhary,

Hows the gear box in Ritz Diesel?
Yesterday I did pre registration check for my Ritz Diesel and I found that the slotting the gear (When vehicle is running)into first and second is like stop and then go into slot kinda thing . Not sort of smooth transition from neutral to first or from first to second.
The gear shift in TD vehicle(Diesel) didnt have this kind of problem .Also pointed out this to Sales guy and he said its normal for the gear to behave like this in New Ritz diesel cars .

Let me know incase you have found any kind of such issues when u did a pre-delivery check or after taking the delivery

Alex.
While the car is on the move , yes downshift to 1st gear needs a stop.
Otherwise its very smooth say putting into 2nd onwards .
Hope i was able to answer your question.
Let me know if you need any more information.
And bdw congrats on your Ritz.Let us know some details about the deal,infact a report is awaited.

Cheers

Thanks SChoudhury, Will definitely update TBHP site about the deal and a simple report on new ownership

Although I do find this problem (stop and then go into slot) while downshifting from 2nd to 1st . However it is more noticeable when I change gear from neutral to 1st. (Clutch is fully pressed).
Will cross check with my friends if they had found such issue when they bought Ritz diesel car.
