Mahanu🚧 Draft — not final. This page was auto-generated as day-one scaffolding for the project and still needs a human pass before it reads as finished. The blanks and placeholders below are intentional — someone who runs this project should fill them in and delete this notice.
The car — state & service
The honest baseline: what the car is right now, what's been done to it, and what it's likely to complain about on a hard trail. Off-roading in the Ghats punishes the thing you didn't check — this page is so nothing gets checked by surprise at the bottom of a slope.
The car
- Make / model / year / variant: _____
- Odometer: _____ · Tyres: type, age, tread — _____
- Drivetrain: 4x4 / AWD / 2WD, and what that honestly means for these trails.
Known weaknesses (the honest list)
- (the noise it makes, the part that's been "fine for now" too long, the low-clearance bit that scrapes)
Service history
| Date | Odo | What was done | By whom | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Maintenance calendar (by odometer AND by season)
- By distance: oil, filters, brakes, fluids at their intervals.
- By season: monsoon is its own service interval — underbody, drainage, wipers, tyres before the rains; recovery gear checked before any Ghats trip.
Recovery & trail kit (checked before every trip)
- Tow strap / shackles · [ ] jack + board for soft ground · [ ] tyre inflator + gauge · [ ] basic tools · [ ] first aid
