Hi, I bought a Nespresso machine and a milk frother from the US. Both run on 120v 60Hz. The machine requires 1200W and the frother requires 550W. Now, voltage conversion shouldn't be a problem. However, since our supply has a 50Hz frequency, will I be able to use the machine at all? Thanks..

Hi. I own a Cruze. It is the old model with 150ps horsepower. Does the Cruze in India come fitted with a DPF (diesel particulate filter)? The reason why I'm asking is because cars that do have this filter require a ACEA "C3" grade engine oil. As per the car manual, I need to use 5W40 ACEA C3...

Hi. I've been using Vodafone 3G on my iPhone 5 since December. The overall experience has been quite dismal. I do get good speeds, but the problem is the strength. In my house, which is in South Delhi, I get 1-2 bars in the front facing room on the top floor. In all other rooms the signal...

Hey guys, After many years, I finally decided to buy a new car and bought myself a Cruze. I have a few queries as follows: 1. What should I use - Standard fuel or Premium fuel. 2. The ICE does not have support for ipods, but it has a 3.5mm aux port. Should I buy a good quality aux cable, or...

My uncle wants to change the OEM head unit in the Fortuner. The primary reason is ipod connectivity. A double-din sized HU would be better since the original one takes up that much space. I know he might have to compromise on the steering controls, which he has been made aware of! Please...
