- What should be checked before going to drive like checking tyres, water level, oil level etc etc. In fact, real question is how to do that in suzuki mehran ? Is there any online manual book, I can read and learn.
tyres won't be a problem, buy a 12v airpump just in case. battery can last more than 10 days but if u have electronics(sound system, security alarm) installed then its a good idea to start the car and keep it at rpm a lil above normal for 15 min every 3rd day.
- During drive I cannot put first and second gear on first try, is that me ? or something wrong with first and second gear.
could be clutch adjustment or worn out synchro or maybe its mehran's inherent fault.
- What makes difference if I push clutch and start the car or start car without pushing clutch ?
pushing the clutch is safer and i've heard it puts less load on starter in winters.
- When I drive on inclined road, should I rely on hand breaks at starting each time, should I make this habit to pull hand break each time on stop of car, and start like clutch, first gear, race and release of hand break in sequence and smart way.
depends upon the type of incline, in Sialkot, i never needed handbrake except if I have to come to a complete stop in Javson Hotel's parking incline(pretty steep that is, even civics are spinning tyres, only 2.0d saloons are successful there)
- If battery gets very low due to parking long time, can I do something myself rather asking electrician and attaching other battery ?
put in 2nd, ask someone to push and release the clutch(don't forget to twist the key to start, it helps
)
- Other tips and tricks like how to drive car on busy roads and streets, how to know if there is enough space for car to pass along ?
it all comes from experience, to get better, when u see a pothole, damaged area on road, try to pass only one tyre over it, it'll make you confident about where ur wheels are also mehran isn't much curvy so as long as it seems alright it is alright, try to see how other cars pass a gap.
- What 's included if I go on workshop and ask for service, how much they will charge in lahore ? and what things they should do or I should check if they are doing service with responsibility.
depends upon kind of service, 300-500 for general tuning (spark plug gaps, fuel mixture and idle rpm if carby mehran, ignition timing, valve clearance aka tappet set krna, oil change)
- What's alarming in cars like when should I change engine oil, filters or go for alignment ? anything else ?
oil+ oil filter change every 2500km (sgo for relatively new car, caltex havoline 20w50 for older), air filter must be cleaned every oil change and changed every 3rd-4th oil change, general tuning(mentioned above) every 10000 km, alignment every 15000 km or earlier if u've driven hard on rough roads. fuel filter every 20000 km.
