Hi guys, please I have a budget of 600k. Can I get a Nigeria used Honda DC with my budget? Does anyone have any to sell here?
Please, help a novice.

Buying a vehicle is one thing and another is buying a good one u won't have to start spending much on if u get a DC for that price I'm sure the Engine sef will be questionable somehow except the owner really needs money badly

Your budget sud be around 800 850 upwards u might still spend on this afterwards but it will be minimal compared to a 600k DC

Just changed my lower all Bushings and front Driver side and linkages for smoother driving
Honda Accord DC

But my steering still turns to driver side while driving but not like before I changed those stuffs

[/b]So now I guess the remaining thing to touch is Tyres[b] coz I v done alignment after changing those parts on the hand but it still slides to the left but not like before when it pulls itself and u feel it while holding the wheel then

So I'm I right with my Conclusion?

HOW I SOLVED MY HONDA 1999 V6 OVERHEATING PROBLEM;
The car started overheating in march this year. Immediately I noticed it, I took it to the mechanic village (Abakaliki).
All I met prescribed their usual; "remove thermostat, connect fan direct, change radiator to double cell"
Because I had a leaky radiator, I first changed it, but the overheating persisted.

Their next option was to remove the thermostat and connect fan direct, I resisted for days, while searching the net for solutions. Then, the only way to avoid overheating was to drive with AC on. But once AC is off, the temperature needle will climb to red. Eventually I succumbed to removing thermostat, but when the thermostat housing was opened, the thermostat was long gone, removed by previous owner.

Finally, the fans were connected direct. Yes overheating stopped, but I wasn't comfortable with the fan being on constantly, so I continued my search for solutions online.

My efforts yielded this week.
I bought and changed the two coolant temperature sensors on the engine and that ended it. Overheating stopped, fan now picks up only when engine temperature peaks.
I'm now enjoying my baby once again.

My Honda Accord 2006 discussion Continue AC again o last month I changed one of the black rubber on top for the AC and they cleaned all mouth till that of the condenser retighted everything ND refilled it ND early this month the driver side starting blowing normal air ND when I used it today it wasn't cold at all what could have gone wrong again

Coz if I refill it again it's obvious before a month it might be back to same junction of no freon

Leak. Proper diagnosis needed. Run uv dye through system. Also, only ONE side not blowing cold?

Keke and okada would not have allowed Mr. Mills journey to the moon from Nigeria. They would have intercepted him before he left our borders, assisted by our roads.
Yes, that little a distance.

Yes tires would tilt you one side if the brand is not the same or if one is worn more than the other.

Switch tyres, get one from the front side the car is tilting to and swap it with one from the back

Honda Gurus, my EOD was giving AC issues, then changed the condenser and evaporator, cleaned up the system and charged it with gas, when i put in d 1st bottle of gas, the thermostat was cutting as it should do, but when i put in d second bottle, it stopped cutting, i felt i had over charged it, i reduced it and made sure there is no air in d system, yet, the thermostat refused to cut, i checked d harness, nothing wrong, the ac is chilling fine,

Now, i noticed that the engine has started loosing compression when the ac is on, i would have to switch the ac off before it can pick acceleration, if i throttle, it hesitates before picking, it sometimes looks like it's Not changing gear as it should, even to climb hill, e go kind of dey crawl, if i come to a near stop, and throttle to move, it won't respond immediately, i would have to press d throttle like twice or thrice before it will move, d gear 1 sometimes can't climb a small culvet, pls, what could be happening and what can i do?

Scanned, all i got was ECT P2185 and ABS, this are codes that were there before this issue, i am yet to deal with this codes

Buy your gas yourself. Buy ours or johnsen's from Gazzuzz. Johnsen's is our back up when we are in between shipments of ours.

- The new generation is trained to use a computer to diagnose, remove and replace based on its recommendations. The old mechanic can tell you what's wrong with your car by listening to it for 10 seconds and smelling the oil.

Lol. Okay. That's why engines and radiators dey scatter left right and center. The people that put the thermostat in the car in the first place didn't know what they were doing.

Also, this "new" generation has been fixing cars for over 35 years.

Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by kcbaba007: 7:56am On May 15, 2019
i removed the gear transmission range sensor, cleaned and reset it to neutral, i then went ahead and reset d tps, the tps should give u a 5v on idle and 4.5v when accelerated completely, this is done by putting d ignition on, u don't need to start d car before setting it
