I think Capital Honda should take their chances with servicing pedal-bicycles! Even there, I am not sure if they will be capable of handling it.

One hundred percent true. My Honda City is with them for past 2 months, and not a single word on it, No estimate costs or delivery time.

Capital Honda is probably very good up to the point where a sales is made. When it comes to after-sales service, they are the pits..!!
My Honda City was towed away on 27th Dec 2015 because the car wouldn't shift into gear (clutch service) and today, 23rd Feb 2016, after nearly 2 months, it is still... with them. Not one single word from them, no estimate repair costs, no estimate delivery time. They put you on hold every time you call them. And if someone answers, the answers are always wishy-washy.Read More

@shreyasmax sorry about the delay, I have not visited MS for a while. I have not had the opportunity to audition the Andes E07K. But from what I hear from users is that it is a darn good sounding headphone DAC/amp. If there was such a thing as a weaker link in your combo, the iPOD Classic could be i...t. Your 'upgrade' path probably lies in the direction of FiiO X5 or the forthcoming X7 (expensive, I bet).Read More

@triloki1094 it is people like Mystery Shopper that make life interesting. The question however is, has anyone else tried the HD 558? And what is it like?

Nice one, thank you. Changed my mind about 2014 City, and now I am going for a low mileage (12-15,000Km) used previous generation S or V-MT City. There will be enough change left over for a set of HRS alloys with 195/60R 15 V88 for better breaking and a quieter ride.

I don't have this phone, not yet, but try these two things to stop sudden battery drain:
1. If your phone is still on Android 4.2 or 4.3 Jelly Bean, upgrade (free) to 4.4 Kit Kat, it is said to resolve the battery drain problem.
2. Manually set the screen brightness to 65% or less, from default A...uto setting.Read More

Hello sherie68, I am not aware of the kind of audio output terminals are there on your Samsung flatscreen TV. If there is a stereo mini-jack (3.5mm TRS - like headphone jack on mobile devices) on the TV then use a mini-jack cable between the SB100 and the TV. If there are a pair of RCA jacks output ...on the TV (normally a Red and White one), then use a cable with a pair of RCA plugs on one end and a mini-jack on the SB100 end. Look at it this way, the SB100 just replaces the built-in speakers of the TV. So, ideally all out puts from various sources (like Set-top-box, DVD player, etc.) should be connected to the inputs on the TV. And the audio output on the TV should be connected to the SB100. If this doesn't fix your problem, I think you have to call in the experts to help you.Read More

Hi MfM.. I have not heard the Sony soundbar, so it is not possible to say if it is better than the higher priced JBL unit. If it is possible, try the Sony out in your own TV room first. One thing for certain, any soundbar is going to be an improvement over the sound of the LED/LCD flatscreen TV.

As shown on the VW website, the tyres supplied for the four runing wheels are tubless radials of 185/60 R15 fitted on 15' diameter wheels. These tyres' have an OD (overall diameter) is 603.0 mm and circumference of 1894.4 mm and rotates at 528 revolution per km (straight line).
If the spare ty...re fitted to the 14' wheel (stepney) and has one of the following markings:
165/75 R14 (OD = 603.1 mm, Circum. = 1894.7 mm) 528 revs/km.
175/70 R14 (OD = 600.6 mm, Circum. = 1886.8 mm) 530 revs/km.
...you should have no problems with the ride quality.
As msprabhakar has pointed out, the 'skinny spare' has been around for many years. Though it may serve some physiological support to the owner, it is just meant for a 'limp' to the nearest tyre shop. Tubeless radials, when they go bad, they usually go very bad. I have driven a German car fitted with tubeless radials (Goodyear NCT, Pirelli P700 and P6) for close to 17 years and have had just ONE flat (and that was because I hit an upright metal plate at high speed). With today's quality radials, you will never have the chance to use your spare, hopefully.Read More

This is in response to puneribond: Thank you. Since the time I had written this review, there are a couple of pie places in Chennai that have raised the bar - Bella Ciao at Thiruvanmyur and Little Italy at Eldorado, Nungambakkam.
Pizza's from both places are authentic enough and are baked in woo...d burning ovens. Unlike Bella Cao, which serves only Chennai, Little Italy has twobranches in Pune. Unfortunately, Little Italy serves only vegetarian stuff and their pizzas are very close to what you may find anywhere in Italy. They do have Indian flavours but their Mediteranian, Ortolana, Pesto, Pavarotti, represents Italian versions at its best. Yes, pepperoni is dearly missed.

’’...Because, the Airline’s policy being overlooked by few subjugated board of directors. CEO will only function under their remote control....’’.
I agree, as long as ’people’ who knew the business ran the business, all was well. Infact, during late 70s and early 80s Gulf Air’s quality of servi...ce was on par with the best in the field, say, Swissair, Lufthansa, Quantas, Singapore Airlines, and their likes.
Here’s a date-line on Gulf Air and a certain Mr.X:
1951-1970, BOAC (British Airways) was the major shareholder of Gulf Aviation Company.
1973-1974, Gulf States (Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Oman and Qatar governments) purchase BOAC’s shares.
1969, Mr.X joins BOAC ground services (scales/paycheck from BOAC but work under management of handling agent).
1974, Mr.X takes an option given by BOAC to join newly formed Gulf Air as Airport Officer.
1993, Mr.X quits Gulf Air from the post of Asst. Airport Manager (Acting Airport Manager, at times).
(Genuine reasons: ’’nationalization’’ of work-force, discriminant racial policies towards passenger service, lowered standards).
1994, Mr.X refuses offered post of Area Manager, South India based in Chennai (4 flights a wk Trivandrum/Chennai).
Mr.X confirms that there came an inhumane stage where immigrant labour forces were treated like ’’un-touchables’’, customers of certain type of skin colour more often were able to make their flight on time even though it was their aircraft that was grounded for some technical reason or the other, while some poor sub-continent bound bunch were left stranded. A Sri Lanka or Bangala Desh bound aircraft suddenly found itself heading towards Frankfurt or London.
The vast amount of money that is being pumped in by the four share holding states is what’s keeping Gulf Air afloat. On it’s own legs, this carrier would have taken the same route that PanAm and TWA took... and way back sometime around mid-90s.
