47,000 km with my Tata Tiago: Annual service & other updates

Bosch doesn't make brake pads for BS6 Tiago; and hence was offered TVS brake pads.

BHPian saurabhgupta710 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Resurrecting from ghost mode, here I am again!

As always, glued and on ghost mode to many updates.

For the last annual service, I did the shopping part on my own, went to an FNG, and got things done. After all items were sourced, TLC - detailed cleaning and washing/polishing, labor the bill was still less than my previous year.
items purchased:

4L Shell Engine oil; oil filer
Air filter; cabin filter
2L coolant; of this 1L is still in reserve in the car - in case of any long drives
2L of Shell Gearbox oil - this is yet to be done.
NGK Spark plugs

Apart from above, one fine day in city drive realized the brake was getting softer, so went for a check and lo-behold the front pads were worn out and hence replaced at Bosch, at ~39250 KM. Sad to know, Bosch doesn't make brake pads for BS6 Tiago; and hence was offered TVS brake pads. The car has been working fine thereafter.

Thanks to office usage, the car runs mostly over the weekend, when I decide to venture out. But that might further drop - with update 2 below.

Also got Woodman's front & rear dashcam installed.

As I type this, want to share with you all - 2 major updates:

Toothless is about to kiss 47K on the ODO; never thought I would drive the car so much! or perhaps enjoy driving to this extent!

Though got too tempted to upgrade, but decided to not bite that!

Total Stats on Toothless:

Total KM Run: ~47K Km
Highway Run: ~ 28K Km
Overall Mileage: 17 KMPL

Something I did not share here earlier. After a year with pre-loved Ronin - which I enjoyed having and toying around, finally took a step, and here's introducing LightFury to you all: https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motor...ml#post5809401 (Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Review)
