I have owned a white n/m Maruti 800 Std (MPFI) since Dec 2001. It is my only car. Owing to the loving care given to it by me it has not seen the inside of any garage for major repairs. The paint work is in excellent condition. The car is used for 20-30 km a week in small towns. Odometer reading is 24000 km (no ghapla here, mind you). Very few groans and rattles from the body. I am an extremely satisfied owner.
And I plan to utilise the car for three more years before I dispose of it.
Now my problem. Since I have driven the car frugally it has not failed me till now. But time is taking it’s toll and I am afraid that in near future I will begin to face problems. And since my knowledge of working of cars is limited to what I have tried to learn from various threads and posts on Team-bhp in the past two months I will not recognise them even when they stare me in my face.
Now my request.
What major problems may occur now?
What are the symptoms of these problems?
What are the solutions to these problems?
