wonder if has improved any over the telcoline ITO performance + quality
yeah but it's still a tata... :)
here's my experience with tata
the day i got my telcoline it was raining, the driver that delivered it to the dealer smeared the whole driver side interior with muddy hands & feet - they didn't even bother to clean it before giving it to me
they also gave me the wrong book - gave me the indica book - when i asked for the correct telcoline book they told me "it doesn't really matter - can't understand why i fuss about having the correct service book"
when i took my tata in for it's first service i showed them that the indicator lever doesn't work anymore and the second gear scratches
when you pressed the lever it didn't stay there - you had to hold it in place if you know what i mean?
they told me that it's not covered under the warranty so i'll have to pay R3500 to replace the whole unit - i just left it
their service department also lost my extra 2 year warranty certificate which i bought for an extra R4000 +/-
when i sold it the 2'nd gear was still scratching and i'm still waiting for them to find my warranty certificate hehehe
the other day i also had to fork out R6K for them to replace my fan belt and cam belt - i just got a quote from a toyota dealer to replace the cam and tensioners on my KZ - it is R1800 (i little more affordable...)
oh and i loved it when they charged me R600 for oil - i asked them what oil could possibly be so expensive - told me it's "tata brand oil" - i wanted them to show me the bottle/container - was told i'm not allowed back in the workshop
as you can see i had a lot of fun with the tata stealers
anyways no hard feelings anymore as i bought the lux - i will never ever ever ever ever buy tata or similar brand again - as the saying goes - "goedkoop koop is duur koop"
i sleep so much better now that i have my lux...
