Greetings All,

I am from Peterborough and am just getting my Maruti Gypsy MG410W back on the road after it has been stored for two years. I have owned the vehicle from new having purchased it in Zambia in 1995. It has since seen use on Zanzibar, again in Zambia then in Tanzania Dar es Salaam and is now with me in the UK. I have been watching the site for some time, but have only just got round to registering. I must admit I'm more interested in keeping the vehicle in as near original condition as possible, rather than preparing it for off-road adventures.

It is good to find somewhere that I can get some answers to questions on basic maintenance etc.,

If someone can tell me how to upload photos then I will happily post some photos of the vehicle.

Kind regards

John
