Led interior lights issue

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I changed the two roof lights in my 2014 Toyota Innova to 5W LED bulbs. They worked fine initially, but suddenly all interior lights stopped working. The high-beam and door-open indicators on the dashboard also stopped working.
I found that a fuse had blown. The same issue happened once before, after installing LEDs.
The replacement LEDs also have slight blinking, so I’m planning to switch back to the original halogen bulbs.
My questions:
● Can LED bulbs cause fuses to blow?
● Could my car’s small battery be the reason?
● Is it better to stick with the original halogen bulbs?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

#BikeRepair Access 125 front disc gets locked making it impossible to move bike.

Post image
3 Upvotes

The front disc brake of my access 125 gets locked quite frequently and I am unable to move the bike. It gets jammed. I have to wait for it to cool down and then continue riding.
I showed it to a few local mechanics but none were able to resolve the issue only temporary fixes that last a month or two or until the temperatures rise.

Has anyone faced this? How to resolve or what’s the issue?

Please help and thank you.

Bike service(Activa)

2 Upvotes

Went for 1st year service (3rd free service),
Service advisor went for a small ride within the service floor, can back and said,

BIKE HAVING FULL BODY VIBRATIONS.

I don’t feel any new vibration, it’s same as the new one, very less driven 2500km in a year.

He was persistent on the full body alignment, I didn’t knew that existed for bikes. I refused to do it.
Cost: ₹800

Later he added ₹650 for tyre puncture liquid refill.
I refused it as well.

Should I be worried?

Noob here, should I change service center next time??

Thank You.☺️

S-Cross 1.3 DDiS: Need front lower bumper garnish stock & brake pad recommendations in North Bangalore!

2 Upvotes

I drive a Maruti S-Cross 1.3 DDiS and need to get a couple of things fixed:

Front Lower Bumper (Lower Garnish): The Yelahanka Nexa/Maruti showroom says it's out of stock. Has anyone recently sourced S-Cross body parts around North Bangalore, or know a Maruti Service Center / MGP outlet nearby that actually keeps body inventory?

Brake Pads & Noise: Getting some squealing/braking noise and it’s time for a pad replacement.

Should I stick to OEM (TVS Girling/MGP), or are there better aftermarket alternatives like EBC, Brembo, or Bosch for better bite?

Pro-tip check: Has anyone used Baleno RS pads for the rear, or TVS Girling HD pads up front?

Garage Recommendations: Any reliable independent garages or honest Maruti Authorised Service Stations (MASS) around Yelahanka, Sahakarnagar, Vidyaranyapura, or Hebbal? Looking for places that won't try to pad the bill with random add-ons.

#BikeRepair Scooty stalling mid ride

2 Upvotes

Scooty stalling mid ride...

Okay, so since last one month, my scooty (Burgman) is stalling both at high speed and while I stop at signal. I got it checked at both authorised service center and local mechanic, and after changing the coil, spark plug, fuel filter cleaned and general servicing done, problem still persist and right now I don't know what else am I supposed to do anymore. I bought it 3 years ago,so it's E20 compliant, so fuel may not be the problem, and my commute is pretty simple 15 minutes in the morning to my work place, and then back to my place in evening, and some odd days, mostly on weekends I used it to go to market, so I've hardly rode over 6500 km, and never drove roughly. If anyone knows what could be the potential problem, plz help me out 🙏

#CarRepair Hyundai Venue side cladding broken — can it be repaired?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I own a 2025 Hyundai Venue SX(O) Turbo DCT. While cleaning the roof, I accidentally stood on the left rear door’s lower side cladding, and its mounting points seem to have broken. The cladding has come loose, as shown in the photos.
Can the mounting clips/tabs be repaired, or does the entire cladding need replacement?
What would be the approximate cost at a local garage vs. Hyundai’s authorised service centre?
Is plastic welding a reliable fix?
Would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

#CarMaintenance Anyone interested in starting a casual DIY garage/wrenching group?

3 Upvotes

I'm looking to connect with people around Noida who genuinely like getting their hands dirty and want to set up a small, casual DIY wrenching community.

​The idea is to help each other out with basic maintenance, troubleshooting, and weekend fixes like brake pad changes, spark plugs, basic electricals/wiring, or installing parts. Doing this stuff alone in tight society basements can be a pain, and having an extra set of hands makes a huge difference.

​I already have a decent set of basic tools and an ELM327 OBD scanner for pulling codes and reading live sensor data, and I'm happy to share and help run diagnostics.

​Just to be clear: you don't need to be an expert mechanic, but you should have a genuine interest in turning wrenches and learning how to fix things yourself. This isn't meant to be a free repair service where you drop your car off for someone else to do the work, it's for people who actually want to participate, learn, and collaborate.

​If you're into this, drop a comment or DM me with what you drive, which sector you're in, and what projects or fixes you have lined up. We can set up a WhatsApp/Discord group to troubleshoot issues, swap tools, and plan a weekend meet to tackle a few jobs together.

Also help me with

Your ride & location: What car do you drive, and which sector/area are you based in?

​Tools on hand: Do you already own any basic tools (like a socket/ratchet set, spanners, jack, multimeter), or would you be starting from scratch?

​DIY experience: Have you tackled any basic fixes/maintenance before (even household or bike work), or is this completely new territory?

​Current focus: Any specific job, fix, or project you're currently hoping to get done on your car?"

#BikeRepair (ADVICE) Converting duke 200 to a dual sport

Post image
5 Upvotes

(Image for reference) (AI generated image)

Hi guys, I just bought a 2nd hand duke 200 2013 model for ₹26k and want to convert it to a dirt/ dual sport. I wanted to know if I can directly fit the xpulse wheels and front suspension with the triple clamps to the hole of the duke and not worry about the radiator touching the front wheel... I got the Xpulse 200 front shocks from a friend for free as he was fitting the rally kit for his bike.

I only have the non rally shocks and pipe. I'll be getting the wheel soon but I am curious if anyone has done this before and faced no issues . I'm new to this but I'm a DIY enthusiast, but this is my first project with the bike.

I still need to get the front/rear wheels, swing arm, rear shocks (rally version)

I'm not looking to buy new as by expenditure will skyrocket.

Feel free to ask me anything..
