The Storme crossed the 28k mark day before. Got the 30k servicing done. All items covered under warranty / AMC. All routine stuff, except for a hard clutch. Not that the clutch was not working or had gone bad, but it was hard to operate.

Have you gotten the clutch replaced? and could you share the total bill plus the amount covered under the AMC.

Have been regularly checking the shocks/underbody ever since I changed one of the rear shocks recently. Today noticed that the front right was leaking. Need to get this replaced as well under warranty. Hopefully the replacement units will last much longer. I mean 20-25k kms is hardly any life for the struts

You are right 25000km is too less. Speaks volumes about the quality of parts used. On the other hand, narayan you should be fortunate they lasted that much atleast.

I might get delivery of my truck this Friday or coming Monday. Do you suggest filling in regular Shell diesel?

Regular works best on 2.2 VTT Engine IMHO

Guys, the Storme is a VARICOR engine, yet the engine number says 2.2LDICOR. What gives? Or is it because mine is from the first lots (Feb 2013) hence?

Actually it is same engine with new name only the plastic cover and layout of things around engine such as power steering fluid reservoir etc have changed inside engine bay.
In Aria they have changed the tuning to 150 PS.

I remember someone (Behram ji?) mentioning that the Varicor was also a different state of tune to the Dicor. Not in terms of peak power, but how it got there.

I actually just wanted to know from other Storme owners whether their engine numbers also mention Dicor (and not Varicor) ! Nothing technical as such.

I was supposed to tell my insurance agent the chassis and engine number, and that's when I noticed. Wanted to confirm I wasn't the only Storme guy here driving a Dicor in disguise!

Even my (soon to be) truck has 2.2LDICOR as prefix on the Chassis number

Please check. It must be the engine number. Chassis number starts with MAT....

Then there is a Cab Number plate riveted as well.

Even mine engine no. starts with 2.2LDICOR and I bought it in Feb 2014 so probably Varicor is probably a new marketing term for the same engine.

By the way, is there a way to "decode" the engine number (like what is done for VIN)? Just curious.
