Drove to Raipur for Diwali and also visited Jagannath temple in Puri. This total trip added around 3300 kms to the tally.<\/p>\n
Drove on Samruddhi Mahamarg for the first time and it is truly marvelous. I was able to reach home in flat 14 hours(1035kms) despite below average road conditions of NH53 between Bhandara,MH – MH\/CG border. It always was minimum 18-19 hours earlier.<\/p>\n
Early morning start:<\/p>\n

Maintenance:<\/h2>\n
The stock clutch at 98000 kms is finally showing sign of age and is hardened quite a bit. I am planning to get it changed soon since office has become a 5 day affair now.<\/p>\n
Changed the gearbox side engine mount as it had became quite brittle. I am planning to change the engine mount near timing belt as well.<\/p>\n
The mount, old one can be seen lying on floor:<\/p>\n

The strut pads stock for left suspension are still coming defective and company is looking at some different vendors to procure the part.<\/p>\n
Apart from this preventive maintenance, the Linea is performing exceptionally well. Hope this continues further.<\/p>\n
