psalmz:
but what of the fuel consumption

If you want the catalyst, its 20-30k for that model. Its more important to have a sound car than chase catalyst up and down.

psalmz:
I plan purchasing a Honda Accord 04 this week,seen one,body is still standard,engine sounds fine,checked the exhaust,no unnecessary black carbon on it,Brown on the inside,water still flows out from it,just minor fixes to be made,just wanna confirm how do I know the catalyst is still in order

Are you aware that you will remove it when it becomes a problem.

Catalyst or not should not stop you from buying a good car with a good deal.

We Have Been Dating For 1 Year and 6 months now. I’ve met her parents, we wanted to get married last year but her dad told me to wait till she finishes school which is supposed to be next year. I’m 25 years old and she’s 22 .

I live alone in the city while my mom lives in the village. My younger sister who I’m sponsoring through school sometimes comes to my place during holidays and weekends. My girlfriend practically lives with me because she comes from a type of an Abusive family. So she lives with me and I even assist her with school fees and house rents sometimes. I’ve spent even more than her father for her school.

Everyone In my family knows her and she’s a very wonderful girl. Typical wife material. She supports me every time even when I’m broke. I’m not the type of guy that dates a lot of girls . I don’t even cheat on her. Since I met her I’ve done away with a lot of ladies. I’m 100% committed to the relationship

But the problem is that she Has very bad anger issues. I mean she can destroy your property when she’s angry and I’m the quiet type. I don’t like hitting a lady execpt once in a while a general brain resetting slap. When she starts she doesn’t listen to anyone. Not me, not even her parents. So anytime she’s angry like this I will just find a way to make her laugh. Both of you can just be eating and she will get angry if you ate the fleshy part of the meat and left oily part for her (we have quarreled because of that I mean serious quarrel) . Sometimes I get tired of the whole situation. At the end even when she’s wrong I’ll let her for peace to reign. So I try to manage the anger at home so it shouldn’t go out

So we went to visit my mom in the yesterday. Because of curfew we slept over. So my mom bought us mangos this morning and told us to carry.

My girlfriend then said she doesn’t like mango that if I want to eat my mango I should carry it myself. Then my mom (she is the type that always shouts at every body. The real wahala woman) told her that if she can’t carry the mango then she should just put it on my head for me to carry na (If you no fit carry the mango u for kuku put am for e head make e carry am na).

That was the only thing my mom said. Then she sparked. Started shouting at my mom. That she should stop talking to her like that, that she doesn’t like it. In fact she’s going home. So she carried her bag and started going home. Every one in the compound started saying it’s ok (Na dat thing why dem tell u Dey make u Dey vex so) she was still shouting. I was even try to calm her down but no way. She was still shouting. Even my sister who had never seen her angry before became angry (na so you b? She said). I was really disappointed In her

The issue is what even made me angry is how she reacted. If she didn’t like what my mom said made her angry. At least she should have waited till we got home (this was the first time we were both sleeping over) then she would tell me. Or she could have called my sister and told her what my mom said. After all the fracas, she went inside the room till we left. I just told everybody to just leave her.

So when we got home I told her what she did was wrong that she shouldn’t have reacted like that. Na there war start. She started yelling and shouting at me that if my mom talks to everyone like that she won’t take it (my plan was to tell her that she should apologize to her. Because my mom already apologized that she won’t talk to her again like that. Which I know she will o . So we can just forget about the issue. But she never accepts she’s wrong ) She said I took her to my village to intimidate her in front of my family people, I was really angry and called her uncle and told him what happened. He said there was nothing wrong with what my mom told her (If you no fit carry the mango u for kuku put am for e head make e carry am na) and that he would talk to her .

I even scolded my mom before I left that I didn’t like what she said what she did that’s she was just causing issue. My girlfriend said when my mom said the word (If you no fit carry the mango u for kuku put am for e head make e carry am na) that I should have immediately rebuked my mom. But me sef no see anything wrong with what my mom said( If you no fit carry the mango u for kuku put am for e head make e carry am na)

I just Dey follow her uncle advise and leave her be until she calms down and I talk to her

So my people what’s offensive in this word? If you no fit carry the mango u for kuku put am for e head make e carry am na)

But this her attitude don tire me. Break up is not on the card for me at least not yet. She always thinks that they are other guys out there because she has a lot of toasters but I know they can’t do quarter of what I’m doing for her. In this modern time it’s difficult to see a guy who will allow his girlfriend stay with him thereby losing his freedom to do certain things. A guy who doesn’t cheat, a guy who takes care of her does everything for her .

I just think the things she went through in her family is affecting her physiological. And sometimes when I think about leaving her I feel pity because she can’t go back to her parents house.

Bro, you need to quit that relationship. Its heading for disaster.

The bolded is the reason.

You are too in love to realize that she is not giving to you 100% like you gave her. If she can be this disrespectful to your mother, she will beat her when you marry her.

Quit now!

Piyke:
At bold, is this option even still available with all the border closures? Just scared to use the Jumia shipped from abroad option. Most cargo are moved on passenger flights...

2 months ago, I ordered for a phone charger and battery for my car key fob that i keep changing every 3months, not gotten any. It is obvious, I won't have them anytime soon.

In addition, I have been romancing the idea of DIY paint job. 3 cars in my family including mine desperately need a make over. Its one job I understand needs time, energy, knowledge and experience. The high cost of a paint job of 3 cars is just too much so I considered the main tool i will have to get as the Electrical spray gun. I can get a sander attachment for a drill. I will pay for panel beating the do the sanding, taping, priming and painting. The challenge is getting the paint viscosity right and the fear is if I can get it done.

SpeedRacer:
Please can you give me your Whatsapp number so I can send you an Audio file of the engine when I rev it
Just got back from a mechanic and he says it’s crank shaft metal bearings
Says engine is gone and I should look a a replacement .
I’m screwed


quote author=adanny01 post=89586162]

You just need a very good mechanic who can listen and accurately tell you the problem.

It depends on what is bad.

There are 3 type of bearings; main, conrod and trust bearing. The last is a rare occurrence.

If the sound is from main bearing or journals, your engine must be dropped for a repair or


replacement bearing or crankshaft but if it is conrod, that is easily replaceable while still on the car.

It is not easy to diagnose but an experienced mechanic can listene and differentiate.

Basically, thats the expected diagnosis.

I have gone down the repair road, I must confess, it is possible but the road is bumpy.

The issue here is that, the last crankshaft I bought for the car was 40k and bearings were 15k. You will spend anywhere between 80-100k to repair with no guarantees. Experience of the mechanic matters even more than the money you will spend. So if the mechanic cannot give you a guarantee, am afraid, just look for 250k and save yourself the headache and possible loss of 100k.

Tasha7:
Hello, I am a black woman born and raised in North America and married to an Igbo man. We have been in a long distance relationship for the majority of our relationship. We got married almost 2 years ago while still long distance and he recently immigrated to Canada in Jan 2020 under the spousal sponsorship. He has a wonderful bond with my mother and sisters. (my father has passed). I have met his family and we get along very well.

Everything was going well until I was looking up something in the search history of the laptop we both share and stumbled across emails he had recently accessed. Please note, I could not read the email itself, I could only see the subject lines in the search history. I will attach pictures if possible. It wasn't a normal email account like yahoo or Gmail. It was from a website called: Roundcube webmail. I had never heard of it before. Anyway, there were a bunch of emails forwarded from a hotel in Istanbul where people were being asked to pay their outstanding hotel bill (unfortunately I didn't take a screenshot of the hotel stuff). In addition to that, there were emails to 2 different women (named Wendy and Elizabeth) with the subjects: re: Thank you for written, re: back from customs baby, re: I am so happy our paths have crossed re: I am writing you with much sadness in my heart etc. I will try to attach the screenshots I took.

Lastly, within the same search history, my husband seemed to have been looking up songs like: 'what songs make a woman feel confident about herself' and 'what if I never get over you', and 'songs that make a woman feel beautiful'.

I confronted my husband that same night. It was 2am. He was already sleeping. I woke him up bc I wanted to catch him off guard. His explanation was that his friend in Cyprus had a bad internet connection and asked him (my husband) to look up something in his friends email account. He insisted that he had no idea what his friend was up to, as it was none of his business. In the process of me confronting him, he grabbed the laptop from me and deleted the search history. I told him that was making him look real guilty and I started packing my things to leave. He pleaded and insisted it had nothing to do with him, it was his friends email account blah blah blah. I wanted to believe him but some things just didn't add up...like why was he looking up those songs if he was just checking his friends email for him? His only saving grace was that the subject lines were written with poor grammar and my husband has excellent English speaking and writing skills.

Fast forward a few weeks later, my husband left the bathroom to put out the garbage and accidentally left his phone in the bathroom playing music. This is significant because he has never parted from his phone from the day he arrived. He sleeps with his phone beside him. He showers and uses the bathroom with his phone beside him. When he cooks, he keeps his phone beside him. The day in question, I went into the bathroom and locked the door shortly after he left the bathroom. Side note: I only lock the door bc sometimes he jokingly sneaks up on me to scare me while I am in the shower, so to avoid being snuck up on, I sometimes lock the door. I digress. I commenced using the bathroom when I noticed that hubby left his phone on the side of the bathtub with Nigerian gospel music blasting. I was shocked! It was the first time he was separated from his phone! I didn't touch his phone and started using the bathroom. Within 15 seconds, my husband started knocking on the door saying he really needed to use the bathroom and wanted me to open the door. He was saying he really needed to pee. I asked him to hold a minute, because I was on the toilet. He said he didn't believe me and then things escalated from there. He started pounding really hard on the bathroom door, demanding that I open the door because he really needed to pee. He was eventually pounding so hard and yelling to the point where he started to lose his voice! I was freaked out! I told him to hold on and I would be done in a minute! But he wouldn't listen and eventually broke open the bathroom door by force...there is literally a large crack down the bathroom door now. I was shocked. Beyond words. Once he broke down the door, he quickly did a scan of the bathroom and saw his cellphone was right where he left it. I didn't touch it. Then he was more calm. He then reiterated that he really needed to pee and went into the shower, pulled the curtain and turned on the water.

I started freaking out. I started yelling telling him that he was a liar and if there was any doubt in my mind he was hiding something, I need not doubt it anymore! He broke down the bathroom door NOT because he really nedded to pee, but because he was so terrified I was going to snoop through his phone! Of course he denied it. He was saying that if that was the case, the first thing he would have done is grab his phone. I responded saying that he's not stupid, if he grabbed his phone first, it would have made him look guilty. After that blow up, we stopped talking to each other for days...

And here I am today. If anyone could provide me insight into what is going on, I would be so appreciative. What is this hotel stuff and what are these msgs to multiple women? I am thinking he may be involved in a 419 scam or his friend is a yahoo boy....but why is he using such poor grammar when he speaks and writes excellent English?

I am so stressed over all of this that it is literally consuming my every thought. My husband only denies everything and gets defensive then ignores me if I keep pushing for answers. Outside of this incident he is incredibly loving and affectionate and treats my mother so well. He cares so much about what she thinks of him.

I have turned to this forum with the hopes that someone would have more insight into what is going on. Thank you so much to anyone who has taken the time to read this very long post and respond. I truly appreciate it. Again, I attached photos, but scratched out names just in case.

Thank you,

Tasha

The only conclusion my mind came up with is, you are a means to an end and his phone can prove it.

His doting your mother secures his position and makes you more vulnerable to the lies.

However, you have no proof, you need to be smart. Keep your finances to yourself for safety. Act normal and don't be inquisitive or confrontational. Your last confrontation only makes him aware of his mistakes, he will do his best not to slip again. Discretely gather more and more evidence and eventually the truth will be revealed.

Vikky1425:
I just created this account. I'm at my boyfriend's house and I'm bored. His family member called and he asked me to wait for him.
I promised to come and make him vegetable soup today, since morning hes been disturbing me to come because his friend is also around. I sha got there sweating because of the heat and entered kitchen immediately.
I made the vegetable soup and swallow. He said the soup is delicious, after which I served him and his frnd. It is me that took his friends food to dinning table o. I went to sitting room which is just like right from the dinning. In front of his friend he started asking why I couldn't bring them water to wash their hands and also put water inside cup for them to drink.
It's annoying to me because washand basin is right in the dinning and also a water dispenser in the dinning, glass cups are also there so why cant he do that? Knowing well I've been preparing the food. Just that one he cannot do.
After eating he said "it's nice that you can cook, but you're a woman it's your duty to put water for washing hands and to drink, what if any of my family member or my mum is around?"
There was a time he talked about visiting his mum and how I would be the one cooking, that's not a big deal to me as long as am not reduced to the maid.
This is my second visit to his house, the first time I cooked too.
Am still angry anyways. Traditional man in this modern world, he wants to enjoy wife benefit without acting like a husband.
Update; I have told him about it and he says "me that says you should serve us water dont I know the water is beside us?" I asked him why he had to even do that in front of his friend and he said "it's no big deal, I should have still come to serve it too" kept insisting on how it's my duty and him not a believer of division of labour. He then said "I wont take that from you next time"
So now he just told me he'd invite all his friends over soon and have me cook for them all
My ranting goes beyond serving water or not
The relationship is barely one month

I agree he has some issues but you are not completely free from issues too.

At first, i presumed he was trying to show you off but it seems he a likes the traditional woman which clearly you are not willing to be.

Its simple, the relationship is not old to back out. Its better to deal with it now than later when he's got his hooks on you.

If he cannot come to your level and compromise his expectations and you are not willing to shift grounds, its a bad sign of things getting out of hand.

You know anyone you can recommend to me . Because The guy that assisted with changing the camshafts is saying the noise isn’t coming form there but I think it is and the sound was never there before replacing the cams chains and adjuster.
Engine replacement isn’t an option with this economy

What am telling you is a likelyhood of which I experienced.

I have not listened to it, so my suggestion is not to be taken as a diagnosis which I cannot possibly do remotely.

I cannot recommend a mechanic because of location difference.

Lastly, what did your mechanic say is the problem? Did he check valve clearance after last job?

The newer the better. If you can't get a more recent Lexus, buy the Camry. A 2008 Lexus can never be compared yo a 2014 Camry or do you suppose Toyota made no advances in technology on the Toyota, 6 years after the 08 Lexus was launched?

Exactly

I have been dating a girl for about 18 months now. Very pretty but my brothers, let me tell you... Look before you leap when it comes to pretty girls.

From the minute I met this girl it has been one money request after another. If it was small sums I guess I wouldn't really mind, as I have always worked for blue chip companies and can afford it. The thing is, her requests are always very big!.....20k this, 20K that.....but my brothers, I have to tell you the one that has made me even disappointed in myself.

She lives with her parents and they are the most dysfunctional family I have ever heard of... Everyday one person is fighting the other, and this my girlfriend, as fine as she is, is the most arrogant, prideful, violent & rude person I have ever met. She hounded me everyday that I must get her an apartment of her own, so she can escape her home, and I agreed to but by saving monthly.

Would you believe, one night, when she was working at a bar as an usher for guinness, she gave her number to 2 different men just because of this apartment. My spirit kept telling me that she gave her number out, but she kept lying...only for me to catch her texting one of the men when we were at church of all places.......

She even went as far as going to meet this rich man at a hotel, but the man ran away when she made that request, and I as a fool decided to finally do it for her. (I suspect she cheated on me that night and I always tell it to her face because she has cheated on me twice before)

I live on the Island and tried to get her to rent here as well, as I really want to keep an eye on her..... She has too many guys around her who live in that area and she is this kind of person who cheats out of revenge, even over small things.....this girl refused and threatened to break things off!....bro, as a mumu I sent the money to her to rent the place and for other things, about 400K.....

Ever since that money left my account, it's like my eyes cleared!!! I couldn't believe that instead of saving my hard earned money, I went and sent it to a girl that has cheated on me twice (or even more), lied to me, slapped me and done so many things.....but I just decided to leave everything for God, seeing as she was desperate.

The problem now is that the demands for that apartment is now becoming too much!!! The expenses just to get the place finished are such a burden on my financial and mental state...

The worst happened about two days ago, she wanted me to pay 20k. Infact I just got so tired of bills that I kinda was stalling on it, but what happened next truly shocked me. Would you believe this girl started punching me, slapping me and even tore my shirt cos of 20k. She even threatened to break my office laptop (working from home) until I sent the money, after that she left........

Now she is trying to apologize so that I will pay for bed and gas and the remaining things....my brothers, I know u will say am a fool!...I accept...I am a handsome guy, studied abroad, I just don't know why loneliness made me fall in love with such a sadistic user... My only problem is, do I pay for the bed and just finish what I started or just free the whole thing and the nearly 500K I have already spent...

Please help!

When i finished reading, the only reply that came to my mine was nasty but I won't say.

Na charm she do you?

What are you wating for? Pay her and marry her then turn to her punching bag?

Let me tell you what i would have done. I will provoke her, record her on video punching me then lock her up in jail and throw the keys in the ocean.

Good riddance to rubbish.

Lol Tyrant Wike shut down the ports to serve lagos as instructed by Lord Tinubu. These power drunk mumus are deadlier than any virus. The federal government is weak for allowing the state governor to shut down federal properties. If there was time to flex federal might this would be the it.

The state citizens clearly wanted a violent and crude governor, they got it and are complaining. FG is just doing the bid of Rivers people, they want him, they have to tolerate him.

SpeedRacer:
Thanks a lot
Had to replace both cams ,chain and adjuster for it to line up
Car now moves better only problem is there’s this strange noise between 2000 and 3000 rpm

In most cases, when repair work is done and power is improved, any new sound would be from crankshaft. It could be wornout crankschaft bearings or wornout crankshaft journal.

My AC suddenly stopped working. (Compressor doesn't pick). When connected directly, it will start working so the AC technician told me it's an electrical fault. I took it to a Rewire guy who suggested I buy a new fuse box which I did and same problem persists. Please if you know what the likely cause may be, kindly help.
It is a 2003 Honda Accord. Thank you

First of, what you mean by connected directly?

You ran a wire from battery to compressor? If so, you need to check AC fuse, AC relay and AC switch button.

It was very wrong for the governor to sack the driver.

The governor is supposed to launch an investigation on how a driver who is not trained to handle such emergency ends up arriving for an emergency alone without a paramedic or trained specialist.

It is the system not the driver who failed. If the driver is a trained paramedic and the was issued appropriate kit, he needs to be sack thereafter but not now.

The whole scene was an embarrassment to the state government which should own up not transfer blame.

This is Nigeria, where one thinks he is helping but ends up ridicled.

Good evening I have a Honda Accord 2008 with Po341 , sensors and all are ok so we suspected the timing was wrong. It also rattles on start up a
After taking the valve cover off yesterday and turning engine the marks didn’t line up so we decided to reset the timing. But the issue now is I can’t get the timing marks and chain to line up at the top .

The chain has marks where it’s meant to fit into the cam but We’ve tried several times and the cam seems to be always out by one teeth.

The top ones are not as important as 4 and 5 in the picture.

4 is the top dead center, the cam shaft must line up to each other (5) if not, it needs setting.

i have one sreal and wood saw for 80k brand new with all accessories

A circular saw will suit my needs better than a reciprocating saw.

I am in the market for

1. Circular Saw or mini circular saw

2. Impact screwdriver/drill

3. Mini router/trimmer

I need them used or new and must be affordable. I have no brand preference but something practicable that will last.

Who has an idea where or how to get.

The shipping charges scared me from AliExpress. and Jumia is a little bit more expensive.

The terror we voted

I dedicated my time and energy campaign and voted for this terror.

I did it not becos I really love him but becos I didn't want APC to succeed in Rivers State in that case I picked Wike as a choice.

I regret

The lesson to be learnt here is that true democracy is a choice between perceived good leaders and not a perceived better party.

Party does not lead, people do. At the ballot, the choice should be which person not which party.

And which state Judge gave an order for demolition.

In a sane environment, the state government will pay through the court but we all know, the owner won't be getting justice especially if Wiked Wike still exist as governor.

When foreigners, especially those from the western world see all these images, they will believe that Nigeria is a Muslim country filled with unqualified old men deceiving themselves.


No wonder they now screen every Nigerian at point of entry to their countries as Muslim terrorist


Just take a look at how people handling Nigeria's presidency and future look old, tired, unkempt, haggard and dull Can't these northern guys learn from Lagos Despite having lots of Muslims as Lagosians you can never see Lagos leaders dressing like people from Afghanistan all the time, it's disheartening

A big sorry to well meaning Nigerians being represented by these set of old religious bigots just because Nigeria have more number of mad people than sane people who keep voting fellow mad people into power

You judged them based on the native acceptable attires they all wore.

Last time I checked, suit and tie is not native to anyone in Nigeria. You must be from Europe of somewhere.

I will actually be weary of a person like you in Aso Villa.

Both Engine and AC were changed, even the instrument cluster was changed.

The car was a full blown lab rat. Op didn't listen. I've never seen such stubbornness.

Op said conversion will cost 220k, Gazzuzz said 500k. The car was advertised 1.1m and now 1.6m, with difference of 500k. Gazzuzz was right countless times on this matter but op wouldn't listen.

ShenTeh:
Seems her incantations are already working. FEAR!

First what you did is cruel to both man and animal, and should be condemned in every possible strong term. You need to learn tolerance and communication.

That said, to be brave is to meet the woman in the middle of her incantations and say "Mama, stop that nonsense!. Stop wasting your time and energy. I did it because I warned you repeatedly. I have been looking for the appropriate time to tell you. Please don't disturb yourself again. If you have 100 goats and you don't control them around my place I will do it again!"

That is the brave thing to do. Otherwise, you will live in perpetual fear. Even when you have headache, you will attribute it to the woman's incantations.

She will shout, she will rant, she will fuss and swear, but everyone will respect you and your space.

He should also be prepared pay her if the goat dies or just to appease her.

His actions was animal cruelty and also a wicked act. He is only scared of the incantations not that he regrets his action.

Hello Sir,

I have been using my 2002 babyboy V6 for six years now. The car has served me beyond my expectations. Very reliable.

The only recurring problem is whining power steering. My mechanic has worked on it and doesnt seem to get the issue.
Last month, I went to another mechanic who bled the system and the noise stopped completely for 5 days, only to resume again while driving.

I am using John Holt ATF. Are you saying the Honda Genuine will solve the issue permanently if I do a complete flush?

It's going to cost me 19k so I wanna be sure. Thanks and sorry for my long story.

First, Honda PSF is 354ml and the whole system should not require more than 1litre. That means 3 bottles should do for a flush and maybe 4 if its an overhaul. I am not aware of the current price but 6k per bottle is rather steep.

Let me explain my findings even though i couldn't get the tech sheets of Honda PSF, what i got was an aftermarket replacement tech sheet.

PSF
Kinematic viscosity at 100°c - 11.7 mm²/s
Kinematic viscosity at 40°c - 72mm²/s
Density at 15°c - 0.871kg/L

Dexron III ATF
Kinematic viscosity at 100°c - 8.5mm²/s
Kinematic viscosity at 40°c - 33.5mm²/s
Density at 15°c - 0.814kg/L

Total Quartz 5000 20w50 engine oil
Kinematic viscosity at 100°c - 17.85mm²/s
Kinematic viscosity at 40°c - 156.8mm²/s
Density at 15°c - 0.883kg/L

Mobil 1 5w30 engine oil
Kinematic viscosity at 100°c - 11mm²/s
Kinematic viscosity at 40°c - 61.7mm²/s
Density at 15°c - 0.855kg/L

Total Quartz 7000 10w40 engine oil
Kinematic viscosity at 100°c - 14.81mm²/s
Kinematic viscosity at 40°c - 96.8mm²/s
Density at 15°c - 0.874kg/L

This means that 20w50 engine oil is highest viscosity and ATF has lowest viscosity.

The main thing here is that if an optimum viscosity is specified, you can only treat that as minimum. Going higher or lower will give you bad results but which among the two bad result is a lesser evil.

A lower viscosity will cause the oil to heat. Secondly, you will notice the PS oil in the reservoir whirling with a possible hole at the center due to the suction of the PS pump. This would cause a little suction of air and then the oil starts foaming. The air causes the vanes in the pump to vibrate leading to the whining sound. At this point the pump itself is very hot. Its just a matter of time then the pump overheats and stop or the pump vanes get bad.

On the other hand, a higher viscosity oil will not whirl and prevent air from being sucked by the pump. It will not heat neither. The side effect will only be that the level of efficiency of the pump will reduce. It will not pump the oil at the standard pressure required so your steering will not be at its best.

In summary, ATF is not suitable as power steering fluid, Engine oil will be better. such as Total 5w30 or 10w40 which has a closer viscosity to PSF. 5w20 will be worst than ATF.

I want to have an idea how much it cost to buy granite countertops per m².

Or is it cheaper to buy a sheet, cut what is needed and dispose the off cuts?

I'm just stunned a woman can allow herself to date a man for 11 yrs. Like WTF

I started dating my wife in 1997 when I was in SS3 and she in SS2.

We got married in 2011. She never had another boyfriend.

What did you say you cannot allow yourself do again?

But how do you know the car had good service records

This is Nigeria wey the seller or dealer can lie for Africa.

You will know, if you know how to spot or listen to tell tale signs.

A properly washed engine is a sign of hidden defects.

A missing AC low pressure port cap indicates a possible frequent AC repair or gas refill.

Car manufacturers don't run bare wires, seeing wires uncovered and free tells you the kind of Electrician who worked on the car.

New paint tells you something, the seller is trying to increase the value of the car or is hiding something. You need to find it and decide if you can tolerate it or not.

Just yesterday, i saw a car on Jiji and got seriously interested. The pictures were great but no side, engine and trunk. So i called and asked for it. When I got the engine pic, I asked if AC is working and was told it needs small work (i assumed worst, it needs big work). I only noticed a missing port cap.

One wheel cover was missing and the side picture was not as clear as the front and rear. The only reason for a bad picture is that there is something to hide. I only asked if it was painted and he said yes.

I didn't need to ask anymore cause I already lost interest in the car after 2 questions and 2 more pictures.

The pictures on Jiji highlighted the good sides of the car but left the bad.

Basically, one will be looking for red flags in answers to questions and physical signs of previous work.
