HARDDON:
Recal him not batter him

Recalling them is nearly impossible. Check the electoral process of recalling a rep. It is cumbersome and very difficult to achieve.

Nuezha:
It took me to Total Filling Station in Kawo where it stopped and refused to start for a while.

That's farther than I expected. That's Zaria road. Should be up to 155miles from Abj. Guess ur cat is well and your car fuel trim is running on closed loop.

Mine is on open loop with bad cat and bad O2 sensor. It used to be well until the cat got blocked and the mechanic killed the O2 by hitting it.

Anyways, not a good thing to do though you weren't on high speed. You know fuel pump cools itself with the fuel it sits inside, such low fuel for that distance would reduce the life span of your pump considerably.

It's high time Nigeria spends money in redesigning the N1000 and N500 notes just like it was done with the N50 and below.

This will make looters dig their money graves. However, those who have money in FX will escape the policy. Atleast fair share of looters will either immediately use the stash or lodge them in banks.

Nuezha:
Kaduna to Abuja is 185km
Kaduna to Zuba is 165km.
The Low fuel indicator came on about 60km into the journey.

By my calculations, Zuba to Kaduna all things being equal should consume at best N1,650 - 11.4L of fuel and N2,350 16.2L at worst.

2003 Honda accord is stated to have a 67L tank. Usually, the pumps clicks for me at the range of 50-55L depending on how low on fuel the car is. By my assumption, 10L should be the reserve.

10L should get you 90 miles at very best and 64 for worst case. Usually it cuts it somewhere above mid way so 80miles would be probably it. If you add the 60miles you traveled before the light came on, you will get 140 which should get you around Abj junction in Kad.

That makes your estimates right. You make me wanna take the risk sometime.

Mine doesn't show any lights at all. Could that be the design or do you think something isn't right?

Something definitely isn't right.

Nuezha:
I don't know but Honda Accord of ALL cars travels the longest distance (75km/hr) as soon as the low fuel indicator light comes on.

I have tried it with my '03 Accord. I travelled a distance of 90km/hr and then drove into a filling station and put off the engine, the car refused to start until after a while.

My speed never exceeded 100km/hr, I wind up all my mirrors to eliminate drag, did not use AC, was alone in the car, no heavy loads in my trunk, maintained one gear and never braked hard. Well, the road was good - Abuja to Kaduna.

You mean you did Abuja to Kaduna starting from reserve? Wow!

Anyway, I believe it because I use like 2k fuel from Zuba to Kad. My normal speed is 140km/hr. I usually buy 2.5k fuel and will get to any location in Kad. I have never emptied my tank.

Elnida:
it depends. A big engine Peugeot is 20litres my dad has it, he changes car but not that particular one. Honda Odyssey is 15litres I tink. my friend drives one.
last last it all depends on the product

I doubt the 20liters reserve for Peugeot.

Even the Toyota Prado and landcruiser that have two 90L tanks does not have reserve level of 20litres.

I think what causes the difference is the fuel efficiency of the car. A very fuel efficient car will travel more distance on a 5L reserve than a bad fuel efficient car with 10L reserve. For example, a diesel car with a reserve of 10L will travel almost twice as much distance as the same car with 10L reserve petrol.

Reserve is a percentage of the tank. Also, there is a very small percentage of the tank that is totally unusable to prevent pulling up dirt and water that might have settled in the button.

Technically, a car has no reserve tank. As in a separate tank to reserve fuel. However, what obtains is a reserve level.

This is the level you know approximately how much fuel you have and how far it could take you while finding a solution to your low fuel level.

I thought I will see proof that Ameachi owns the Ikoyi 7b flat where money was found instead am seeing one cock and bull story.

The entire article has no connection to any minister.

I was reading to find how or why they think the minister owns it, but no, it just sounds like a frivolous accusation without any iota of truth.

Keballl:
Stories that touch. So the apartment no longer belong to Muazu/Anenih daughter/PDP ?

You should tell me cause you claim Ameachi owns it.

Keballl:
What a sad hypocritical zombie you are. What is the money doing in Amaechi apartment ?

How pathetic, how can you confirm Ameachi owns the flat when this thread says Bishop Dale investment Ltd bought it and sold to Chobe ventures ltd.

What a coincidence that GEJ's CSO died of a massive heart attack when the money was sieze?

It's a perfect propaganda by GEJ using Wike to divert attention.

Very big lie.

If the NIA is using it for covert ops that GEJ approved and we are now in the Buhari regime, how come Buhari doesnt know. Is the NIA not supposed to brief Buhari? Who in this govt apart from the NIA boss know of the money. If non, then I don't agree with the Story.

olaboy1:
Why? I went to Toyota company here directly and bought the thermostat from them. I live in Europe cold Sweden if that makes any difference, because I know mechanics in Nigeria remove thermostat or something I'm not so sure. Is the thermostat not responsible for on/off function of the radiator fans. My 2 fans come on and off

As long as you have a working thermostat that is not stuck open, your temp should never run below the opening temp of the thermostat usually above 80.

However, most recent cars have 2 coolant temp sensor. Sensor 1 and 2. Sensor 1 is located in or around the thermostat housing while sensor 2 is at the radiator bottom cover.

From experience, I think sensor 2 controls cooling fans while sensor 1 is the main one used by the engine computer to control other dependant parameters.

Each faulty one will throw a specific code.

I will be really confused if your thermostat works well and you have no code.

Jesus died so that all our sins can be forgiven. At the moment he died our sins were forgiven which signifies a very great good Jesus did for human kind.

Secondly, the veil covering the Holy of Holies in the temple tore allowing every Christian to worship and communicate with God directly unlike the practice where sacrifices and priest make the communication on our behalf. Mankind was connected directly to God through the death of Jesus Christ.

Saints woke up that day and many people saw them.

Those who didn't believe Jesus was the son of God saw several miracles on that day that Christianity was uplifted.

Every thing about that day was a sacrifice towards upliftment of Christians which makes it a Good day. There are much more reasons.

Guest2017:
Y will it be a sin when the essence of the death wasn't In vain. He died for the redemption of man from D Bondage of sin and put a stop to Sin and Kingdom of darkness.

In Conclusion, it ain't a sin. In fact, it's blessed

You are the 1st person to give the valid reason why the day that Jesus died is a good day.

SmartchoicesNG:
No sir. I asked about the reliability of switching to Toyota rings.

As far as am concerned, the design for Honda and Toyota piston rings could differ so I would not like to use Toyota for my Honda.

Note that the usual problems are not the compression rings but the oil control rings.

I would make sure I buy the correct rings and a quality one. Else the oil control rings could fail in a short time.

olaboy1:
I want to know if my engine coolant sensor is working as it should.
When am on the highway 120km/h with my odb2 connected and my friend keeping an eye on engine coolant temperature on my iPad, it stops at 70 degrees Celsius and not more, but my manual says temp must be within 80-95 degrees Celsius after warming up, however once am standing still idling at the car park the temperature starts moving up to the manufacturer's required spec up to 90, is this a normal or abnormal condition.
I am changing my coolant anti freeze and thermostat as routine service, should I change the engine coolant sensor also.
I noticed my drivability issues and very bad fuel economy is tied to too many components, but I found out my TPS is behaving funny when I did resistance check on it at WOT, the resistance starts reading when the throttle is opened at almost 30-40% and not from 0%, and when you close the throttle valve the resistance also stops at 30-40% before final close of the throttle valve.
So this means from 0-40% opening of the throttle the ECU is not informing the injector to supply fuel as it's not aware that the throttle has been opened since the TPS is not sending that signal until after 40% opening, hence why I have poor start and sluggish movement from gear 1 and 2.
My MAF result in grams is good within spec, but my intake air temperature does not equal ambient temperature, how do I check my IAT correctly.
You said timing chain should be changed at 170,000km, I've heard they last up to 400,000km
Can you give your expert opinion on this. Also note I have no DTC's but failed emission test with CO 0.8 instead of max 0.5, and HC 118 instead of max 100

The following things did not meet the right manufacturer's reading
1. TPS reading 30% at WOT on highway and even on idle and engine rev at 6500RPM instead of 64-98%
2. IAT not same with ambient temperature. I am also confused it looks like my IAT is together with my MAF. It's a Toyota Avensis Verso 2002
3. Engine coolant temperature as explained above

There is no way you have a thermostat in that car.

Oya nah I av heard so come chop

Wow that's a huge dinner. How i wish I could help with that.

SmartchoicesNG:
Answer my questions​ please

Thought I did already?

erico2k2:
yes I do, this is where you are missing the point, any currency can be bought or sold at a price hence its called Forex foreign exchange, I have been earning pounds in 20 years so Im in a good position to know what Im talking about.My local currency is the £, if you approach me Im selling, if I approach you Im buying, it goes both ways when it comes to forex its totally different from goods and services.I have bought Naira in the UK b4 and I have bough the £ in London too cos I had Naira in my bank in 9ja so I transferred to the guys bank in 9ja and he paid me the equivalent.SO in teh context of forex whoever is approaching who is the one buying.
PS:Foreign Exchange is

the system by which the type of money used in one country is exchanged for another country's money, making international trade easier:
Watch the word exchange so it goes both ways.

In the streets, people can use buying and selling anyhow, in economics, it is specific. What I told you is what obtains in economics.

I believe I made that point clear. You can buy or sell Naira in the UK but not in Nigeria. That's because in the UK Naira is a foreign currency but in Nigeria it's not foreign but local currency. Like I said before local currencies are not bought or sold.

If you got to the BDC in Nigeria with £ but intend to travel to US in which case you need $. The BDC will not quote you a direct FX $ to £. They will first give you £ to ₦ then ₦ to $. That's because you are in Nigeria.

In UK a dealer will give you a direct £ to $ rate. This signifies that the local currency must come to play and it is not the one being sold or bought. Saying you are buying Naira in Nigeria is wrong because economics recognise that you are selling a foreign currency not buying Naira.

Not that the forex market in any country is a direct relations between the local currency and any other foreign currency.

In any banking hall you see rates in two columns we sell, we buy. You will then see the rows for different foreign currencies. What they are selling o buying is the foreign currency. All the rates being advertised are a relationship with the local currency and no direct relationship to 2 foreign currencies such as USD to EUR.

i want to rebuild my eod engine, any idea which mech u can recommend for me in abuja?

SmartchoicesNG:
I am curious to know why rebuilding​ Honda engines​ are deemed difficult by most auto mechanics I have met?

Your contributions​ will be highly appreciated. Apart from block issues

Cc
Nurey

I am shocked.

No engine is difficult to rebuild. However, spare parts quality is the main issue here. Some mechanics even use Toyota rings on Honda because most Honda parts available are substandard. This will cause the rebuild to fail in a short time.

With the right parts, no engine is difficult to rebuild.

erico2k2:
Ok if I come.on holidays with £€$ . And I want to convert my money , won't I buy the Naira with my £?

No, you are not buying ₦, instead you are selling £€$.

By the time you are going back to your destination, you are not going to sell ₦, instead you will buy £€$.

You don't buy or sell local currency. In the UK, the £€ become your local currency, you don't buy or sell it, you use it to buy or sell. The £€ become your purchasing power.

erico2k2:
U don't get it do you ?
We buy and sell physical Naira ask me how and I will tell U.

I don't think I have to ask you. If you have a point especially one that I will lead from, you should not hesitate or withhold.

However, on this matter, my secondary level economics is still sound but not perfect.

In the shores of Nigeria, you don't buy or sell the Naira. In US, UK or anywhere abroad where Naira is not local currency, Naira becomes a commodity and can be bought or sold. Let me hear what you have to say.

erico2k2:
Who told you we don't buy amd sell naira ? ?
From where did you get that plz ? ?

You seem to misunderstand the point.

You need a local currency to buy and sell. Technically, it is not the Naira you are buying or selling, it's the foreign currency you are buying or selling.

Example of illegal buying or selling of the Naira is buying N1,000 mint notes for N1, 200.

In forex market, Dollar is the commodity you are buying the Naira you are exchanging is not technically a sell but a matching value for the commodity purchased. The same way around you take your commodity (Dollar) to the market and sell same way a fish seller will go to the market and sell fish. No one buys the Naira.

If you meet a BDC operator, they tell you we buy dollar at say N420 and sell at N425. What is bought and sold? Dollar. Naira is not the commodity bought or sold.

erico2k2:
Nah physical currency do not in any way cause the weaknesses of a curency if not the dollar will be weak . Rather lack of positive economic activities is the cause . Ie our relationship with global trade .

I totally disagree.

Too much physical currency in circulation brings inflation and other negative effects. This is with regards to local currency.

Foreign currency is only meant for trade. In this case, buying and selling of the currency itself. While the local currency cannot be bought or sold.

If the foreign currency can be bought or sold, it means the principle of demand and supply will apply to it. In the principle of demand and supply, when there is high demand, supply falls and price increases. When there is low demand, supply increases and price falls.

So in the twilight of the GEJ dispensation, politicians and top members of the administration who had so much illicit money had only 2 means to hide their loot from the expected anti curruption crusader president about to come in. One means was to hide the funds by shipping it out. The second is by hiding cash. The first will incure a lot of losses and risks by going out and bringing back. From the Abacha experience, it is difficult to repatriate money back especially if it's not earned. So most resorted to hiding cash at homes. Hinding cash in Naira is like hiding an elephant. So the only solution is converting the elephant to a mouse. This enables you to store as many elephants as possible without getting noticed.

So they started converting all the Naira they had to USD, GBP and EUR. The huge sums they were demanding was beyond the supply of the BDCs. Note that, this level of transactions cannot be done in the bank as you can change it but illegal to access it in cash. They needed cash so they mopped all they could get from BDCs. The BDCs unable to meet demands of their ordinary customers hiked the price due to difficulty in accessing the cash. Effectively, demand became very high, and supply wasn't increased and price increased.

When the Buhari administration came and saw the low foreign reserve and the demand for the FX was high taking much of the reserve and oil prices had crashed meaning very very low supply or income, they stopped supply to BDCs knowing well that the demand was created to fund corrupt interests.

This is the reason only black market prices were affected by the high price of FX while the CBN window remained the same.

These cash being found here and there are same cash funds that initially created the scarcity in the first place. Believe me or not, the surface has not been scratched. This is just a layman's explanation of the trend to another.

bigsecsyde:
Thank you sir, since getting a good one is such a hard task, I will just continue using this one.

Its not like you will not get it, the problem is that since this engine has this specific problem most of the ones you may see are already bad.

My concern is the guarantee you will get if you buy a used one. Even with the guarantee, it may leave you with repeated workmanship charges and risk of tampering with a healthy engine.

Amazon and ebay is there to get an oem replacement if you can afford that.

U want my honest truth.Those are not dollars,.check the wrap, look closely.
I gave up on teh Nigerian security forces wen dem koro koro blackmailed a prisoner to confess in court that he sold my friend stolen DVD player only for the guy in court chose not to comply that God warned him true his father in his sleep lastnight.Fear our law enforcement

That we know but that only emphasize the fact that Nigerians are absolutely corrupt. One of the reason i avoid police like a plague. They are the most dangerous set of Nigerians.

On the bolded, i think you are finding it hard to believe that this kind of money exist cash in private hands. I want to tell you there is more that will make you say "impossible". This is the evidence of the kind of activity in the last dispensation that caused the weakening of the Naira.

I hope you saw more pictures on this other thread.https://www.nairaland.com/3738542/photos-money-uncovered-efcc-ikoyi

And they managed to count all that money lol

Bros, lets be realistic here.

Am sure even the owner didnt count to the last currency note. That makes it an estimate. 10 wraps of $100 is $100,000. That makes it easy

igbozionism:
all this trash is political propaganda used to distract Nigerians from the failure of this government until they are able to prove and convict the criminal in the law court





if they can break into the home of judges by 1am and plant money there and later accuse the judges of laundering money in the morning then the can actually arrange money for photo shoot!

nothing is impossible with this government that has set out to govern with propaganda




stop brandishing words as if you made any sense. how can DSS raid the house of people at night and claim that they found millions of dollars without any independent verification from journalists or the media. man you must be unreasonable to believe that millions was found in the houses of judges.

why pretending that you love Igbo's? you have never hidden your disdain for Igbo nation why the hypocrisy now?

just in case you want to deny that DSS never said such like your colleague did.

http://sunnewsonline.com/what-dss-found-in-homes-of-three-judges/

Your post is the truest and the best form of political propaganda/distraction i have ever encountered.

I could easily vote you the most ignorant literate Nigerian.
