It might not show in the pictures but the paint on the roof, the hood and the trunk has faded patches on it. Today I went to the mechanic and the paint shop guy from next door saw the car and he approached me and told me that the car is in its original paint and only bumpers are repainted. He too, like your goodself, prayed kay 'Allah Naseeb Kare" and that the car stay protected. I am based in Karachi and seat covers were made to order from National Autos on Tariq Road, opposite Rehmania Masjid. There is a person called Arif there. I am satisfied with the work done by them. Cost was Rs 6,500.
Thanks.
Dear Sir, I am grateful for your time and for this informative post. I will inspect the oil the way you recommended. I am based in Karachi by the way. And after posting earlier today, I paid a visit to my mechanic and I have just returned from there. The mechanic sahab told me that very little oil is leaking from axle and he has replaced 'seal' from the left wheel and refilled the axle oil. I hope this solves the problem. After purchasing the car, we changed the main seal, two seals on the timing side, the oil pain seal / chamber seal, the Vtec sensor seals, and may be one more (pardon my lack of understanding for engines).
