To all the guru in the house, pls my acura mdx 2007 bluetooth is not working as I can't use my phone with it either to make, receive or play music. what can I do and who can elp me out. I stay in abeokuta and can come down to lagos if the need be. thanks
Your Bluetooth module is bad. It's under the arm rest. You can get a toks and replace it or buy a small bluetooth plug in device (you plug into the 12v port). It's a 10 minute job. You can watch youtube videos of how to replace the module. It's easy. I unplugged mine when it failed and was draining my battery.
Another fix is to bake it in an oven at 220 deg f for 10 minutes to reflow the solderings. I did this on mine and its working again. Though it's a temporary fix because it is known to go bad again. All the best.

Heavenlybang, one bottle for you for Stanel World Awka cheesy

I suspected that the Mobil 20W-50 XHP is becoming too light for that rugged motor.

Could it be (burning oil) the cause of the rattling noise I hear @ 1500 RPM when accelerating?

Which one I go come switch to now?
Why did you start using 20w50 in the first place?
Wey that oil guy?
You can continue using the 20w50. When the oil burn burn becomes unbearable, you can refurbish the engine or slap in a toks engine. After 20w50, na straight 50 or 75w90 gear oil na him be next weight oo. cheesy

Car TalkRe: What To Do When A Tyre Bursts At High Speed by 9icetoo(m): 7:21pm On Oct 28, 2020
Dtruthspeaker:
Could you please offer any explanation to why my post is struck or incorrect?
1. There is always something you can do in the even t of a blowout. Always something positive. Death is not hanging over anyone's head as a result of a blowout.
2. Underinflation is the major cause of blowouts and not overinflation. Underinflation is worse than overinflation. The sidewalls need pressure to stay rigid. Without adequate pressure, they flex too much, heat up and boom.
3. When properly inflated, tires probably add about 4-8 psi due to heat buildup when driven at regular road speeds. I've monitored this severally and it has remained true at least on my car.
4. 50% 0f accidents are not due to overspeeding.
Most accidents occur due to sudden change in road conditions (potholes, unmarked bumps) bends, distractions (phones, sleep, entertainment systems), mechanically deficient vehicles and belligerent drivers.

Even if a keke marwa has an accident, frsc will still tell you it's due to overspeeding.

A good driver should be aware at all times and be prepared for sudden changes in vehicle behaviour so he can take actions to manage whatever situation arises.

This post really helped me today. Maybe even saved my life.

I was driving at 130kmph on a smooth street of highway and my rear passenger tyre burst.

What I heard was ‘PAO’ and the steering started jerking left and right but mainly right (towards the side of the damaged tyre).

I just took my foot off the accelerator, then made a mistake of switching to neutral but immediately recollected myself and switchback into drive and held the steering firmly till the car slowed down enough me to consciously steer the vehicle to the shoulder of the road.

But I found out that this tyre bursts is a 50-50 thing, if you’re speeding along with other cars shoulder to shoulder, on a downhill slope or trying to overtake you will be in soup. I was lucky I was alone on that road at that time.

I also notice that the heavier the vehicle the better it’s stability whenever there a burst tyre Emmergency. I might be wrong though because I’ve never experienced a front tyre bursting on me before.

Thanks for this post, you were heaven sent.
That's why cartalk is here. You are welcome.

[s]I do not think anyone can do anything with a burst tyre on high speed for a burst tyre in motion is bad (see how one bounces even on low speeds).

A burst on high speed? Death is over your head already.

The best advice is AVOID HAVING BURST TYRES AT ALL COSTS LESS THAN DEATH AND INJURY!

That is the only way!.

Tyres Almost Always burst because it is inflated therefore, if you must drive too fast, ALWAYS ensure that you are under-inflated before the speeding begins.

And after speeding, stop and guage your tyres to see if it is swollen.

If you have old tyres (because I know that there are people like me that unless the tyre is burst
or damagedd we would never change it), so ALWAYS CHECK them BEFORE and DURING THE the journey.

Whilst driving be SUPER-SENSITIVE To Vibrations and ANY CHANGE in Driving Smoothness. If Slight Change is detected, Stop and check your tyres.

I agree with road safety's data that more than 50% of accidents in Nigeria arise from burst tyres and Speeding.

Love yourself and drive safely![/s]

olumzzz:
How is this possible in a tyre burst.
Wont one need to press brake before downshifting?
You don't need to step on your brakes to downshift in an automatic. From D to D3 or D2 can be done without stepping on the brakes but I do not advise you to do this in the event of a blow out. Just take your foot off the brakes accelerator and your car will slow down. Unless you are on a very steep incline and your car keeps gaining momentum, then you may downshift to D3 and subsequently D2. Mind the revs. Do not downshift when your revs are too high. You may lose control of the car, damage your engine and transmission and lose your engine braking effect.

SamuelLoch:
But it would take a longer period of time for an automatic car to stop compared to a manual shift.
So holding the steering firm is sufficient?
Yes. Just hold the steering firmly. Take your legs off the accelerator. That blown tire will introduce enormous drag to the car that will naturally slow the car down. Do not downshift. In an automatic, the drag introduced by the blown tyre and engine braking will slow your car down in less than 10 seconds to a manageable speed where you can steer to the side of the road. Watch your rear and side mirrors for other traffic.
Do not ever step on your brakes. Ever.
I am assuming the speed of the car is less than 140km/hr.
I've had a front wheel blow out in a Camry (automatic) along onitsha owerri road at 120km/hr. No fuss.
Had a rear blow out in an octavia (manual). Can't remember my speed. Didn't even downshift until speed dropped to about 80km/hr. And it was a rapid decrease in speed without brakes. Just engine braking.

Can she try dt thrash during Civil war, asking a fully kitted soldier to join queue B4 he can make a cash withdrawalhuh
Ekwekwana ka kitikpa gbawaa gi onu. Outside the barracks, the military is a civilian like you and I. If he's on official duty within the country, he should use the convenience provided for them within their barracks.

Nigerians pay the tax used to pay their salaries and fund and equip them.

They are to serve you and not the other way round.

In times of conflict, they go out and defend our territorial borders. We owe out gratitude to them for that. We also pay for it. And that is where the bullshit ends.

If the lady feels like honouring and respecting him because of his uniform, it is her prerogative and not his goddam freaking right

She can decide not to give up her spot on the line and he should join the queue just like everyone else. He is not more Nigerian than you and I.

If your commute is on relatively paved roads devoid of flooding, consider the following:
1. 2012-2013 toyota camry
2. 2010 to 2012 es350
3. 2010-2013 toyota corolla
4. 2013 Honda Accord
5. 2010 -2013 Acura TL

If your commute takes you through relatively rough terrain and you have to swim through a few floods, consider the following:
1. 2010- 2012 toyota highlander awd
2. 2010-2012 toyota rav4 awd
3. 2008-09, 2012-13 Acura mdx
4. 2010-2013 Honda CR-V (awd)
5. 2006-2009 mercedes ml350 or ml550
6. 2010-2012 Lexus rx350

Honourable mentions to 2008-2010 volvo xc90 (ask for the reliable engine variant. Valarinz should be able to guide you on this).

All cars mentioned here are under 6.5 million. With the most expensive being the 2012 lexus rx350.
