All Duster and Terrano owners or drivers - I would like to share one important aspect:
- The front bumper bottom portion; please take care not to get the portion damaged due to Road hump in-between; though it is a low possibility for some reason if it gets hit - the radiator mounting is too fragile and it could get damaged.
Then you have to replace the radiator and intercooler assembly - which will coolly cost Rs 25000/-.

Recently one of the owner of Terrano belonging to Gulbarga, Karnataka District - Terrano hit some uneven bottom surface twice and the radiator assembly got replaced onn both occasions- warranty not covered as this is considered as accident,

I completed 33333 km last month. No major issues.
Current ODO is ~ 34150 km - this month another trip towards Bangalore is round the corner.

Completed 35000 km servicing.
Apart from Engine oil / filter replacement; changed for the first time front brake pads.
Driving at consistent speed without sudden braking helped for a longer life. Service workshop mentioned to me that the change in other Terrano is between 20000 to 25000 km.

I completed 2100 km of driving my Terrano.
Onward from Hyderabad to Bangalore - covered in 7hours 15 minutes [incl. 15 mins bio break]. Just from Toll 4 [just before Goothy] till Bagepalli [AP-KA border] the rain was very heavy - at times I experienced AQUA PLANNING where wheels tend to glide - kept the car safe and maintained safe distances.
