Actually no, If the light starts to glow then it means that the engine has overheated. If there was a gauge you could tell how much and when the temp was climbing. Here you cant until its too late.
SO I guess as soon as the light glows you stop and then then check coolant and maybe take it to the workshop! Quote:

I'm been quiet on my front. Just got my finances, so will call my dealer and check my status tomorrow. I would also be going for the RTGS option as I hate taking a DD. But a DD is a document and is safer compared to sending out few lakhs by mistake to the wrong person.
I have tons of pending work in the Office and need to also do this task. |
haha thanks! Please if you are buying a figo from metro ask them for this.
Brix a DD will cost you about 900-1000R.s extra. IF that is ok with you then its the best and safest way. I didn't want to take any chances thats the reason I paid this way.
Keep your mind away from the Figo and teambhp maybe that will help you finish your office work lol. Quote:

Thank you nitnbose.
Too early to tell. According to the DTE my F.E in the city B2B traffic with AC is about 11. I will surely update everyone on my next fuel stop. Quote:

Wanted to ask you on ...
In B'lore traffic, how is the visibility w.r.t tiny road dividers ?
Outside noise insulation with all windows rolled up ?
Ease of parking in apartments/malls and with street parking (parallel) ?
Any particular blind spots you noticied ? |
haha! donkeys don't produce milk they are only meant to carry heavy things and people from and to places.
The headlmps are H4's. The car also comes with a couple of spare head lamp bulbs. Give me a day I will tell you what exactly they are.
I guess the difference could be in the way the headlamp itself is assembled and the headlight beam focus is calibrated.
Visibility is excellnt! not a problem at all. You can see everyone and everything. From the small dogs that run across the roads to the big cows that stand still.
Excellent noise insulation with the windows rolled up. You barely hear anything on the outside. But you can hear the engine noise quite a bit once you cross 3K rpm. Like I said the engine feels a bit rough and unrefined. Maybe after 1000KM it should smoothen up.
Easy of parking.
I'm still getting used to the car. It handles great but somehow I seem to struggle when I try to park it in a mall or at my own parking spot.
Maybe its because I need to get used to the car.
poloman Ah yes I had gone to get my number ! But no I still haven't got my number! Metro ford Claims to have lost my number plate. They also say that maybe it was fixed on another Figo which is very scary for me!!
They said by Monday they will order a new set of plates.
