I had my 40k service done recently. Had my rear brake pads changed (for the first time).
Asked service person to change front brake pads too, but he said they are good to go for atleast 10k.
SA was shocked to know that I managed to run 40k without brake pads replaced.

Need a quick advice
I have a zero dep insurance cover for my endy (2016 March registration) with royal sundaram. I looked at online on their website, it costs about 47k for renewal. While an insurance agency sent me a quote from ICICI Lombard for about 42k. I tried reaching out to royal sundaram a few times to get a quote through email and phone, so far they didn't respond (seems like they don't need the business type attitude). What do you all suggest? Should i switch? Any hassles to transfer the ncb etc after switching? Please advice.

I switched to Bharti AXA, and my experience is great. And please crosscheck the price with AXA, it will be less than ICICI

I suggest you shift from Royal Sundaram. There are no hassles in the transfer of NCB and ICICI is a better company than Royal Sundaram anyday. Do make sure that apart from zero dep the quote also includes add on covers like consumable cover, engine protector, key replacement cover, etc for similar IDV.

Similarly also take quotes from Bajal Allianz and HDFC Ergo. These are the best companies out there in the business.

Hi,
Have experienced only 1 summer with my endeavour 2.2. I faced the same loud fan issue whenever ambient temperature was above 35 degrees (very common in Delhi and around). It's like the radiator fan is running at 2X 3X rpm. And it's not as if it starts after a lot of driving.. have experienced this issue even when car has been parked for a long time, but ambient temp was 40+.

I checked with the dealership, they said it is by design in Ecosport but not in endeavour. Was not able to make them hear the same as monsoons had arrived. Didn't experience even once from then till now in Feb (winters basically)
Along with the noise i experience loss in power. Fingers crossed for this summers.

Were you able to find any solution to this? Or have to live with it? Anyone else with a 2.2 experienced the same?

Mod Note: Please avoid typing with excessive dots.........like................this.

Since you only need the map updates and not the entire SYNC3 update package, have you tried updating them via Naviextras website?

Sorry for responding late. Claim rejection rate of ICICI and Reliance are very high, so please stay away from them. If your dealer has a cashless claim from Oriental or United, they are the one to go with. If they don't have cashless, don't ever go with these providers (They are Govt companies and getting money from them, will take lot of your time ). (Just posting it now -- even though it is late, so that it can help others ).

Naviextras is not available for India. It's only for some other countries.

I did try with Naviextras but hit a dead end. Then I installed the 'Ford_Lincoln Toolbax' app in my Mac which enabled me to download the latest India maps database (Q4/2018). I tried to install that with a USB drive. First part got installed but the second part got stuck. Thereafter I visited Ford Service in Kolkata several times but they failed to complete the installation. Now they claim that they have taken up the matter with Ford, USA and are waiting for a solution!

My navigation system is working but I'm not sure about the Map / POI database version because it is not showing up in the display -- see pic below.

If any Endeavour owner is in a similar predicament (Map / POI database version is blank), please let me know.

Naviextras was never for India as confirmed by Ford India. Unfortunately we are treated like the unwanted.
Thankfully your Sync 3 system is working fine and did not hang as the whole ECU system is connected in one.

Question on rats eating wires.
My relative got a TATA Hexa. It is in the Dealer Repair Shop for the 2nd time in 2years. Issue is small rats (shrew) chewing through the wires. Has any of the Endeavor owners been through the same issue ?

Apparently it is due to the shift from petroleum based plastics to soy based plastics for wires. This is apart from stealing wires for nesting. Check this link.

And for those who already have heated ORVM's, how do you activate them?
There is no dedicated button to toggle it.
