I say this because: your's is the 3rd Duster I'm hearing in recent times to be afflicted thus. |
Thanks for your appreciation.
Regarding the injector failure, it's pure negligence from Renault.
You can have a look at this thread. I do not believe it to a problem with this particular batch, its happening for more than 5 years.

And as for Shillong, well thats my home town so all I can say is.. Country roads take me home. |
I missed visiting Jaswantgarh temple, but the other members from our team have visited the place.
Great to know you are from Shillong. What i saw is, most people in Shillong are car lovers! Even Alto's or M800's had offset tyres with jazzy alloy wheels! I guess most of them love to push their cars through those beautiful curvy roads!

Lets have a Duster meet at Botolbari.
On a serious note, Northeast is beautiful and its wort a visit. The photographer in you will love it.

Keep travelling & gifting us such gems !!

Thanks Pawan da. Yes i do remember our conversation and we were talking about option's like hiring a Zoom car from Guwahati, but luckily things worked well.
Red Express has just started it's journey, whereas Hulk is already a legend!

Thanks a lot.
Yes, the lower route to Zemithang via Sangetsar and T-Gompa is really beautiful. I drove till T-Gompa & from there i got an idea what the rest of the route can offer. But to our bad luck due to some blasting works going on, this route was closed.

I must say, am blessed to get such a team. I consider myself lucky for this.
