We were brainstorming. Keep one grade 1 crankshaft for me for V6. I want to buy a new Range Rover 2015. So I need to put a refurbished engine on it. Thanks for your input. Range Rover,, above and beyond

Instead of buying a crappy Range Rover, buy a 4runner and a GLE.

Or just buy a Lexus LX, lmao. Why put yourself through all of this nonsense?

Since 2011, I have been driving a V8. And it was a fulfillment of a vow that I made that I will never own a six cylinder car after giving out my E240 Mercedes. The reason I am getting a V6 is because of the supercharged attached to it so that I will not be carried away by the V8 like you did. Is there any V8 in a 4 runner? On the 8th day, God made the V8. Stick to it

Just like the Prado. Any way, all Toyota are the same driving experience. From Corolla to land cruiser, they don't have any excitement. By December this year, 11 years enmeshed with a Range Rover and a V8 in particular. The only time I owned a Toyota was the Toyota Supra 2.8 and then 3.0 Targa. Those were the best years of Toyota. Every other models from them are not for me.

Thanks to everyone that participated at our brainstorming session . We appreciate all your inputs and suggestions. The final conclusions are never use coolants that are not suitable for the car. Even Abro should not be found in the car. Use quality oil and if your car requires 5w30, 5w20 or 0w20 or even 0w16, look for it and use it and ensure it is the highest standard. As for the fuel, add octane booster at all times. My phone number is within reach 24hrs and for your towing, call 08098534267.

Yes you are rite...but at what expense ..coolant is meant not only to protect the engine alone. But other parts of the engine.......

This is why some cars are overheating , thermostat becomes bad . The radiator becomes rusty because of the use of water.. This is why people replace radiator left and right. And than people end up buying double cell radiator ......

It now becomes a vicious cycle of fixing 1 thing or the other. The hoses of the car is affected and replacement needed .. You than start to " ring" or replace engine .. You end up doing all these things until the car tires you .... All you had to do was just use coolant to prevent these things .. U basically accumulate unnecessary expenses......


The bible says : "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge"


The car bible vision: people waste money because they lack knowledge or understanding on how to maintain their vehicles.. Or they hast rejected knowledge and understanding

You don mad oo.

My mdx is still running on its original engine. No overhaul like your range Rover engines. One coil, one starter and one alternator after four years. No error codes whatsoever.
As fit as a horse on Nigerian fuel. Same can't be said for your range rovers.

You have a problem Sir.

Mercedes outnumbers your range rovers in Nigeria.

They are not as poorly made as your range Rover.

Maybe you are part of the problem the range Rover owners are experiencing but you do not know it.

You are demarketing yourself here oga.

Rest.

Spew less thrash.

The gurus and newbies in the house please i have a question.
I'm madly in love with range but people put a lot of fear in me whe i wanted to but a car, maybe because of the amount i had, so later bought a Toyota but i have not given up my dream to own a range.

Now my question is this, some times i do see a range on net for sale and with clean body too. buying 2008 range at 2m Nigeria used, is it advised, ? This guy is not a big income guy oo

NUT has failed Nigeria. You can not make a statement without insults. You call me Sir and said that I am mad. When you were crying over your dead pinging engine, you called me for the local solution which unfortunately I could not give you because you will come here to rant that I destroyed your Acura. Have you seen any Acura gliding on the road the way a Range Rover glides on the road? The bottom line is that you have nothing to offer here and it would be better you read threads created by heavenly Banga where God created the V8 on the eighth day. Then you will understand what we are talking about. The V6 supercharged of the Range Rovers is light years away from your Acura MDX that cannot endure Nigerian beautiful fuel.
Nigga I used to hold you in high esteem but from thread 45-47 you have been yapping rubbish. Slow down on the meds sir..
So those users in Nigeria that have been driving their Acura MDX's as their personal vehicles are ghosts abi ? undecided

When people were buying Toyota Supra, where were you? I bought 2 editions but could not bring it to Nigeria in 1998 because we did not have the fuel for it and till today, we still don't have the fuel for Toyota Supra. My friend that bought the turbo of the Supra brought his own to Nigeria and the leaded fuel destroyed it. Have you ever driven a Toyota with turbo engine? They have been trying to build a twin turbo since 2000 for the Supra and it was not successful. Have you driven a Toyota Celica gt 2.0? When you think you know things you never knew, google will not help. Toyota brand for today is not the same as their yesterday and I was not buying Carina or corona, I was driving the highest of the brand and right now I am going to buy a 2015 Range Rover. Because it is my choice and I am the mechanic

Three things to look out for, the state of the engine, the transmission and the air suspension. If the air suspension has been changed to spring, waka pass

I have nothing to reply you with sir cos your misinformation on one post alone can give one headache. And I don't have the strength either to start countering you. Lemme just leave you to carry on with your typings and sit on the fence and watch. And congratulations on your incoming 2015 range rover but others like erico2k2 have done that and dusted it.

Thank you my brother for the congratulations. I deserve it. Fences are fragile nowadays so be mindful of the height. People who buy Range Rovers do so because it is their choice. A 1996 Toyota Supra does not have the fuel available in Nigeria. The only car having such privilege is the 1988 Volvo 760 gle. The options in that car, Toyota never gave it to it's modern cars until recently . The Abs that Volvo gave it's cars since 1983 is the nemesis of all Toyota cars since 2006 to the point where the highlander 2017 Abs module cost almost 2m to buy brand new. It's well

Mister man, the new Supra uses a BMW B58, an engine that has been in BMWs since 2015/2016. People dey drive am for Nigeria, their engine never explode. Don't take your crappy Range Rover engines to be the norm with German cars.

I drive a V8 Merc. 18 months now and still going strong, never had a power train issue. Who dey listen to you go feel say once person buy car for Nigeria the car go spoil immediately.

Haba I never said anything like that. I said that the twin turbo Toyota Supra was not successful, either because the sleeping headlights were changed or the power from the twin turbo was too powerful for a Toyota. There was an attempt to bring back the Supra recently but I am no longer interested. Range Rover supercharged is the deal now. The 3.0 turbo engine of the Supra can get to the maximum speed of 280kms per hour while mine was 260kms.

Hahaha ���. The 90k oil change consists of two gallons of oil at 60k, 2 air filters and 1 oil filter,15k, and labor 15k.

How many BmW are on the road in Nigeria? Even if BMW borrow Supra engine, Supra will never enter the country.

I know a guy who used to go to Ghana from Lagos just to buy premium fuel over there. He drives a BMW 5 series. He said the car has been too sluggish for his liking. According to research, when you use premium fuel, the ECU will increase the performance of the car whenever it senses the premium in the tank. So after a week, he returns back home happy for the experience of the car roaring to perform. It was the same fuel problem that made me ship my Supra to Abidjan instead of Lagos.
