CareerRe: Switching From Chemistry To Chemical Engineering by 9icetoo(m): 1:31pm On Dec 17, 2022
PrettyBolu:
Do not do it. I repeat, do not do it if your goal is to stand a good chance of getting a job.

Switch from Chemistry to Health Sciences instead.

Your background in Chemistry should give you a foundation for Health Sciences. You are already familiar with chemical composition, you can easily understand the drugs. For you to have graduated Chemistry, you must have drawn so many molecular diagrams, therefore, you will be able to handle diagrams in Health Sciences.

Chemical Engineering is a different thing entirely. If you had studied Chemical Engineering, your mindset will be different from a Chemistry graduate. Where you would have been applying to work by now will be different. Your approach to the job market will be different. You cannot switch now. You will just be a black sheep lost in the crowd. Pick Health Sciences instead.
Follow this advice. I studied chem eng.

Car TalkRe: Tell Us Your Car Faults. Let's Assess And Fix Them by 9icetoo(m): 1:50pm On Dec 14, 2022

Hello good morning

I once had an issue with my car not being able to start but the lights were coming on. I got a roadside mechanic and he tried checking the fuse, kick, and it all, he said they were all fine. He had to run a wire from the kick to the battery so I was able to move pending when I get a rewire.

My mechanic took it and got it fixed up but not up to a month again, I wanted to start the car day before yesterday and noticed a 2 seconds delay. I decided to put it off and on again with another 2-3 seconds delay. Tried putting it on again, but it wasn't able to come on. the lights were just on.

I ran a wire like before from the kick to the battery to start it.

Any idea of what can be done or what is causing this issue?

car is toyota matix xr 2005

@ kingreign
My mechanic noted the rewire will check to see what is making the fuse fail when I bring it
Issue may be with the starter or live wire to the starter.

If starter was failing and was "serviced" by rewire, then it has failed again.

Replace starter.

There are those who believe Mercedes is the best thing after sliced bread.

There are those who believe in practical cars.

Choose one depending on where you belong.

@ Gazzuzz,

Any concerns about the 2014 MDX one should be worried about? I understand the MDX had major changes from 2014.. like the 3.5L engine as against 3.7L in previous model.

Any major thing to worry about?
Until e reach to service the transmission.

E be like to do surgery.

If you can't afford big workshops who service by the book, leave the 2014 mdx alone.

What's normal miles abeg?
You should be more concerned with how well it was maintained.

A 250k mile car with oil changes every 5k miles is in far better shape than a 100k mile car with only 3 oil changes.
Car TalkRe: So All This While I Have Been Doing Oil Change At 3000 Km by 9icetoo(m): 11:08am On Nov 26, 2022
buygala:
Visit any interstate Transport company nearest to you and ask them the oil change duration of their vehicles .

Na we dey make things unnecessarily hard for ourselves..

Except for very short distance drivers, 3k miles oil change is very very unnecessary




So if I travel from Abuja to Lagos and back thrice, my car is due for oil change? ... For what biko?
@the bolded, you are not properly informed.

Some of them change weekly self depending on how many round-trips done.

They do not generally exceed 5k miles.

Rivers to abj guys change after every 4th or 5th round trip.

Do the maths.
Car TalkRe: What does The Law Says Concerning HACKNEY Permit by 9icetoo(m): 8:18pm On Nov 22, 2022
nurey:
Let me start from the beginning and be detailed.

I drive a sienna 2000, the document is in my mum's name and the driver license and documents share same surname.

I was hauling 50 cartons of biscuit the receipt is in my name, you can't know I am carrying biscuit unless you peep into the vehicle and no my glass is clear not tinted. I hope we are on the same page? grin

I was flagged down by yellow fever women, I parked and greet ask for my documents and I handed it over, she now said where is your hackney permit I told her it's my personal car a private vehicle she now flared up that she was gonna delay me fuming and all but my passenger a female talked to her and she let us go Sha.

Before that one, VIO stopped me at Epe and asked for all ask able lights (reverse, brake, side indicator etc) after they saw my paper was complete I was carrying full load my friends from work, they now said I had a private number and was running commercial operation, I explained to him Sha and he asked me to indicate names of some passenger, when I said a funny nickname of one passenger he laughed and asked me to go.

I have noticed that sometimes when I reach bus stops some agbero would also run banging the car saying "make we shadow, shey make we shadow" even passengers do rush to the door shouting all kinds of area.

Is the sienna categorized as a commercial vehicle in Nigeria?

Also a private vehicle used to carry personal goods, should it also have hackney permit?
Interestingly, this question was posed today by a logistics manager.

Nigeria is indeed a failed country.

There is no law that requires private vehicle to have a hackney permit.

Hackney permit is issued to commercial (red number) vehicles only.

The law makes a provision for that and the issuing authority issues that permit along with other vehicle documents.

Vehicles (Toyota Hilux, sienna, ford f150, Tacoma, tundra, haice bus, etc) registered for private use are not required by law to have hackney permit.

There is no Nigerian law that automatically confers commercial status to the above listed vehicles if the owner expressly requests and registers such a vehicle for private use.

The road traffic act is very clear on this issue yet we have overzealous security agencies and touts (enabled and emboldened by the inactions and tacit support of these agencies) enforcing hackney permit on these set of private vehicles.

One day na one day sha.

Pattybf, I was disappointed by your response.

I expected you to know better.

The law is the law.

The vehicle licensing agency is well within their rights to withdraw or demand a vehicle registration is changed from private to public if it deems the owner of such a vehicle is using it for commercial purposes. They have no right within the law to demand for hackney permit for a private vehicle.

I was disappointed going through this page.

WycliffeSMB:
Okay...thanks.
The steering is not stiff.
But once I start my car and the engine is running there is a squealing noise from the pump.
This noise becomes louder when I turn the steering wheel.
Air is getting into your steering system. Have a mechanic trace the leak and sort it out. It may eventually lead to the failure of your power steering pump.
Car TalkRe: Can No Catalyst Converter Cause This? by 9icetoo(m): 8:30am On Nov 20, 2022
Rikze:
I know it can cause high fuel consumption for sure.


Try this:

Go to a good panel beater, ask him to construct a catalyst for you. If he knows his onions, he'll use nets (iron nets) to make up for it.

I suffered a similar fate last year when my catalyst was bad and it was removed. The consumption rate was mad until a mechanic told me about it and it works very well.

My engine is V6, you can understand what that means.
OP do not try this. I repeat, do not try this.
