One thing I want you to know is that if I have the money, I would have bought this car. I do much lobe the car and don't even mind it being manual. I believe the other faults detected by Gazzuzz is not even too bad but its a welcome information to at least know what one is buying. They can be fixed one by one over time.

As for Gazzuzz, I believe he is a professional who knows his job and he should not be hated for giving his honest opinion on cars. Rather he should be encouraged. Howbeit that it seems to affect the car sellers.

As I said earlier, if I have the money, me I for buy this car and I will not convert Nada.
If you give me to pay on instalment for on or before 4 months na straight I go collect am.

It is not strange that all the Gazzuzz haters are soar car dealers who's trade is to pass off lemons in place of oranges to ignorant buyers. Gazzuzz has in one way or the other prevented their trade or has shown an impossible example for them to follow.

The are all disgruntled for not being able to keepup.

Don't be faster than your shadow This Is a white elephant project,I will love to test run the car when the task is being completed. I trust o.p to carry us along.

You are? Will I trust you to give us a proper report?

GAZZUZZ:
Mr engineer, if you don't do it, then you will have to return your certificate to the sch you graduated from.

Meanwhile let me guide you on how a presentation like this is done.


List every part/part number you are replacing.

Good luck and happy sales afterward.

As a business man, try and compare the price of a Nigerian used corolla automatic.

Good luck again.

The problem with some keyboard mechanics is that they can put up a fake part list, arrange a photoshoot of the repairs and parts since they know, we will not be there to test drive the car.

He is also helping me me in every possible way
Nd he doesn't pressure me for sex because he want me as partner nd mould me fully.
Moreover why the rush?not every guy has Nigerian mentality!!

You sound like a kid.

Life has not started giving you experiences, by the time it does, you will regret all your wrong choices.

You make it seem this polish guy is made from heaven and your relationship is made of Vibranium. Hearts get broken all the time so reserve some piece of your heart in a safe place in case this guy fvcks ur heart into a million tiny pieces. That stored piece of your heart should be enough to prevent you from commiting suicide.

Nigerians are actually part of Nigeria's problems.

Bro, not part o.

Nigerians are the whole of Nigeria's problems.

Nigeria is what Nigerians make it. There is nothing wrong with this country or any country for that matter, it is the people that make or break the country.

Corruption - Nigerians
Violence - Nigerians
Internet fraud - Nigerians
We don't even think in National unity or progress, everyone thinks for his own stomach. Without putting out heads together this country is bound to fail now or in future.

You will see four numbers by the side wall, the outside wall
The first two numbers state the week of manufacture
The last two states the year of manufacture
This above tyre was manufactured in the ninth week of 2007
And when you buy tyres new or Belgium be concerned with the last two
You add four years to the last two numbers to know if it has expired
2007+4 = 2011

YOU ARE FREE TO MAKE ADDITIONAL USEFUL COMMENTS TO THIS TOPIC

There is no standard that tires expire after 4years. That is a hoax by FRSC staff.

Infact the FRSC list of fines has nothing like expired tires but worn-out. That is completely different from an expired tire.

They convince you that your tire is expired and then book you for wornout tire instead which is not related to the offence they charged you.

I am a kind of person that don't believe in voodoo or jazz but with what is happening in my family now, jazz dey o. my only sibling (we were 3 in family though but our last born of 15yrs died last year) that was doing well in minna suddenly returned to village in Enugu and don't want to go back again.

My mum and some kindred took him to federal neuropsychiatric hospital Enugu where he spent one week and ran back to village. Though I spent over 60,000 during the period he was admitted there. We were thinking he will get better but he wasn't. A lot told us it is something spiritual. my parent visited some prayer house and they told them my brother is afflicted because they want to inherit my father's lands.

They went to a church today at Enugu and the pastor told them to bring 100,000 before he can do anything. is salvation not free again? my daddy has no amount of money and he already called me to send it which I won't send because that pastor sound so dubious. Giving him the money is not even the problem but what if he just collect the money and nothing changes?

If you know anywhere I can take my brother to in Enugu or Enugu axis please do let me know. He's my only sibling and I love him so much

Sorry to be blunt, but your family should have known that he is your only brother before you start fighting over land.

I am an only son and we had a feud over land with our neighbor but my father took a wise step of officially reporting the issue and gave his final decision which i could not go against when i found out what happened. By the time I heard my father had negotiated with the land grabber and settled by freeing a portion for peace to reign.

I protested but I cannot go to the traditional ruler who sat on the case to reverse my father's word. My cousins urged me to get the intruder out but my immediate family refused to support me and even prohibited me from taking any action.

Next time choose your fight well.

Where was custom officers when they are bringing in the cars,they brought in the cars from the border which is guarded by custom officer,God help us in this country

Truth be told, Customs are not responsible for policing our borders. Our customs are under the ministry of Finance, the fact that they carry guns is for anti smuggling prevention but the real border control should either be under the ministry of defence or interior.

Nigeria needs an armed border control.

This is what happens when a burukutu sipping drunkard appoints a gworo chewing maga as customs DG yet you wonder why businesses are running to Ghana and other African countries

Oho dai!

Pay duty if you dont want the embarrassment.

People like you who support non payment of duties are the reason Nigeria is not progressing.

If you donot know what is right or wrong, you actually do not deserve to have a voters card in the first place.

Matured advice please.....

Ever since i was small my mum have always have this unpleasant smell.she baths often but this smell have choose to not go away, i heard she got an infection after a miscarriage because we do discuss it amongst ourselves,we her children. The smell comes from her private and i dont know if she is aware of it. She baths often but after sometime the smell starts again.

She came to my house for visit and i was embarrassed when my husband passed and was asking what was stinking up the kids room, i know it was my mum but i told him something else.

She is someone that always like tying wrapper without any under and you can imagine how it is.

I dont want to embarrass but i know it has always been an issue with my dad(they have seperate room coz of this).she get angry easy too but i really have to.

Ps she has treated infection often and on but this smell is what i dont understand.doctors should help too.
Why is it that the smell refuse to go away because she bathes morning and night(rule while growing up in our house)
9

Take her to a hospital in the guise of check up but speak to the Doctor in advance.

The Dr will know how to treat her for that infection while telling her something else.

This is very wrong
It's like customs raiding a kitchen to seize foreign rice

Wrong!

Its like customs raiding a market or store to seize foreign rice.

Meanwhile they didnt seize any car, they are checking and if you do have a smuggled car, the car should be seized.

Lets obey our own laws so that our leaders will not blame us for not succeeding. Do your part and let government do its part.

The more the EFCC parades Yahoo boys and their lifestyle the more young boys see yahoo yahoo as a profitable business to venture into despite the risks.

Whr can i get elm scanner.i just bought new radiator 30k . O jiat hope im not cheated/scammed cos others said 38k 35k last at least 4 diff places i flew bike too.
I regret using honda. I cant blame myself a car of 2009 start misbehaving 10years after. Though im an aggressive driver,u cant imagine the shock on my face buying fuel of 1500 then as i left the gas station within a distance of about 600metres i bar has dropped from 6 bars on fuel guage. Or is it a v12 spirit engine

Why is it Honda's fault when you or the previous owner or your mechanic removed the thermostat and bypassed the ECT 2 sensor. You do things to the car that Honda didnt do and you expect the car to remain factory spec.

If you are an aggressive driver, please service your car agressively.

My rims are factory. Well tyres get worn out likr 30% since i changed last around april. I just need someone to help me out here. Kazeems have finished me.

Bro, rims get bad especially when you hit a pot hole or kerb. A brand new tire can be damaged beyond repairs. What you need is a dynamic wheel balance not a static one. During the dynamic wheel balance, you will physically inspect the tire and rim for deformity.

Gracesofar:
Wow well I guess you understand your machine better. I used to enjoy my mum 2002 coupe during my teenage days. The car did me burouba mechanic will always find a fault in it. Either I hear noise on the legs or something similar. It was so frustrating and the car turned into tax collector on mum and I. She decided getting a Nigerian used bull Dog afterwards and same problem like the mechanic will say SHAFT NO GOOD. we did all we can until the car pack up. We had to sell them off to the mechanic later on to safe face. I got a Camry aroumd october 2017 and I have never had an issue with it. Though there came a time I had a little problem but someone on Nairalander talked about car scanner which I bought. And I scan the angel periodically even if no light comes on on the dash board. And the testimony is HV never had a better yesterday testimony with the car.

That's my reason for advising op not to opt for Honda. I was speaking totally from experience

I'd say, Honda is for those who know how to maintain and enjoy a car while Toyota is for those who do not know how to maintain and just want to go from point a to b without listening to any sound the car makes.

Let me gist you about the "Shaft no good mechanic".

My neighbor got a clean 08 Corolla few months back. Fast forward, he sees my young mechanic fixing my car at home most times on Sundays so he asked for his number. Mechanic came, test drove the car for the noise complain and the verdict was a toasted shaft (outer CVT joint) due to torn shaft boots. There was wheel hub bearing noise too. Very clean tokumbo car needed well over 50k in parts but my guy said no way. Mechanic earlier complain of the guy's stingy attitude so he was all out to rip the guy off.

Mechanic proposed to grease the bearing and shaft then replace the boots for an inflated cost.

The fatal mistake my neighbor did was not knowing how repair processes should go and would not seek my advise since i know more about cars than him which he never admits. I came out of my house to meet the mans 2 complete driving shaft on the ground. A job I will never allow on my car knowing the car was test driven less than 5mins ago. Pulling out the Inner CVT joint when the transmission is hot is known to damage the transmission.

My neighbor's car has gone from an irritating shaft to a failing transmission. From the moment I saw this mans drive shaft out of the transmission, I knew this man don buy market. He told me yesterday, "my car refuses to change gear". I said to myself, "Aha".

Rach111:
I dated my ex for 6yrs. Who was never proud of me, can't even post my pics on any social media, even the day I did he got angry and removed it.

Have never cheated on him because I hate double dating. Am a virgin and he was a virgin then. we promise to wait till marriage which made me to love him more. I always cook, clean do everything as if I was his wife.

But this guy never showed any signs that he will want to marry me. If I bring it up he keeps quiet over it.

After graduation we came back to Nigeria my grandmother who was like my mother because she was the one who took care of me, was sick I was in the hospital with her for 1 month he never showed up despite the fact that his house was close by. I saw so many signs that I was only wasting my time because he hardly calls even before then we had issues about a girl in his room which he denied everything yet I let it go because of love.

So through my savings from university I went to Dubai got a good job decided to forget about him for good and started dating a Canadian guy who was really nice to me and was willing to wait but my problem with him was that he always calls me sexy and shapy, big botty girl which made me feel like he was after my body because he was always telling me he can't wait to have me on his bed because he feels am too sexy.

Yes, I have great body no doubt, I became confused of the situation and decided to break up that was when my ex started begging for forgiveness that now his working in the bank and his planning to settle down by 2020.

My grandmother died I went to Nigeria and we met I realized he has slept with different girls and was even hiding his phone from me. Acting strange so I came back to Dubai continued my work and the white guy was trying to come back that he won't say things like that because he knows am different but the truth of the matter is that I don't even have any single love for the white guy. I still love my ex but my ex keeps talking to me like am a trash, I got angry and blocked him but he sent me massage on Facebook saying am childish and called me names this is someone who can never say things like that to me before but now he talks to me anyhow without respect because he feels am desperate for marriage because I always want to get married early, am in my early 20's.

Due to the situation all the guys both white and blacks asking me out for serious relationship have said no to all because I feel I can't love anyone again in my life because of my ex I don't know if am in my right senses have tried possible ways to forget him, I deleted all his pictures on my Facebook, always watching movies yet nothing seems to work.

Now am thinking of traveling to any European country look for a good white man so I can forget about him because I know I deserve better than him. I need advice if dating another guy mostly white can make me forget him or it might make things worst since am doing it because am trying to forget him.

Sorry to be blunt, but most girls who are virgins and decide not to have sex till marriage end up with broken hearts and would find it very difficult in their love life.

When you think of sex as a precious property, you will later realize there is no man good enough to let in and that will hunt you. You will not be able to keep relationships as sex will always be an issue when love is supposed to have the priority.

At the end, even retired ashawo dey marry. Those who have had sex will not allow sex be a problem in their love life. Most girls only have the burden of finding love because sex is not an issue but you have a burden of finding a partner who loves you and does want sex. That is very very complex.

You chose the hard way, sorry its not going to be easy. You will lose more men and may end up with an undeserving partner in end, dont beat yourself.

I am not trying to encourage you but sex takes nothing out of you and it is not a gift. If you keep that at the back of your head, it will help you to keep a good relationship when you find one.

Ask those who have been raped, you will know that you have a choice but they didn't. At the end both the virgin and the raped are expected to live normal life's and have normal relationships.

When i was in the dating game, I never date virgins not because of the no sex relationship but because even if she gives me her virginity, i wont take it. Those girls put an emotional attachment to sex which is what i dont want.

And if I may ask where do you stay and how good is the road leading to your place. 2ndly, what kinda management do you do on it (talking about maintenance)

I drive through all the kind of bad roads you can possibly imagine.

2ndly, i have a good maintenance habit but I am not the "throw in new parts guy". I have managed some of my out of spec suspension parts without replacing for years and still did not have a break down since 2013. My ball joints are still factory OEM, my shock absorber, shafts, upper arm are still factory OEM. What i have replaced are tie rod ends, stabilizer linkage, bushings and 1 of the upper arm's ball joint.

Let me assure you that the day i buy a new chinko ball joint to install in my car, I will expect the pull from that day onwards. For now, I still drive up till my comfortable 160km/h limit with complete trust that no pull out will happen.

Issue now. My steering still not straight. I have done alignment done every still same. 2 mechanics said its steering rack that is bad,but i dont believe them because its tokunbl clean title,engine has never been open or worked on.no accident,nothing so how can steering rack be bad. If i'm on 80/100kph steering starts vibrating and shaking. Then secondly my fuel economy is poor. 1 buy 1000 fuel,between a distance of 1 mile 3 litres gone .sp before i reach where am gling and back 8litres gone before you know it yellow/reserve tank light goes off. Its a 4plug but its drinking fuel like v12 engine. I have replaced 02 sensor 1,2,gpt new catalyst still no difference.i even blught brand new pump. Scanner shows coolant temp 2 sensor low. Then thridly my tmps light stays on.checcked the tyres checked all sensors on alloys nothing seems unusual.
I just want to know why its consuming much fuel,ac on or off,and my steerng wheel not straight.
I don tire dor honda

From you description, you have been Kazeemed.

I guess your fan runs constantly and the code is
P2184 ECT Sensor #2 Circuit Low Input

Potential symptoms include:
MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) illumination
Poor fuel economy
Poor drivability
Engine may run rough or blow black smoke out the tailpipe
May not idle May start and then die

Secondly my rpm idle is always on 1
If i start the car it goes to abt 1.7, 1.8 rpm
But when i turn on the ac it goes below 1 and it vibrates the car like it wants to stall. I am fed up. I feel like honda is not for me. Help me.
My idle speed is low,if i put it on park and ac is on my car would be stalling like it wants to go off.

For your RPM to remain at 1, it means your car never gets to the normal operating temperature that it will drop its Idle RPM to the normal 0.8 rpm. For the car to have up to 1.8rpm on cold start means there is something wrong that I cannot point to. Normal at cold start is supposed to be 1.5rpm.

Say your CRV is 4wd, you will obviously have a serious guzzler in your hands.

Lastly, to have steering vibration at 80-100, you definitely have either a bad wheel (rim), bad wheel balance or bad tire.

Well..... I havent had any of the above mentioned issues with my Camry. Talking of the Honda. The leg is the main issue. And do you use an Honda? Or have you used one?

Yes, I use Honda right from the 1986 model (my 1st car) till now and never had a leg pull.

Just like you have never had the mentioned issues with your camry and I never had your mentioned issues with my Accords, it doesn't mean both cars do not come with their generic issues.

We can only discuss them objectively.

Gracesofar:
Camry all the way bro... I haven't used an Honda 2008, but I have a Camry. And HV used an Honda 2002 coupe way back then. HV also used an Honda bull dog and I can tell most Hondas do have issues with the shaft. If the road linking your home and other movement ain't so bad (which I doubt co dz z Nigeria) you can opt for Honda. But if not, hug that Camry and enjoy every pleasure she's got to give you.
Been using my Camry since 2017 and I can tell I haven't gotten any big issue with it. Though I run diagnostic at intervals even when no light comes up.

I am surprised that you have used different cars long enough to have known what "shaft" is and clearly specify.

Funny enough the 2008 Accord has the strongest transmission and suspension compared to all its predecessors and even the 2008 Camry itself.

The Camry has more transmission issues, more strut issues, more AC issues.

I am gonna have to disagree boss. The adjustable camber in the video are from aftermarket parts but not OEM.

OEM's of most Honda's including mine come completely welded with no adjustments whatsoever. I have used 4 generations of Accord and 2 of Civic and none has any of the adjustment depicted in the video.

However, I am aware of some models of the 4th generation of Accord (Honda Hala) and Prelude that has 4 wheel steer, as a result have toe adjustment from OEM.

Johnsonkeyz2019:
I did alignment the second day and the Baba said it was fine I mean alignment for the Back both side coz the tyre was on the back side

As far as i am aware, there is no adjustment (no alignment) for the rear wheels on this model unless you will remove cut and weld the part and reinstall.

As far as man concerned, one of the bushings is bad and would need replacing.

I experience the same issue with my 2003 accord. 1 rear wheel is more affected than the other in my case so i know one bushing is more dilapidated than the other.

Thunder fire una, how can Republic of Benin suddenly become one of the highest importer of rice in the world if not because most are smuggled into Nigeria ?

Some people never see anything good about this administration but to be candid, this border closure has exposed 2 very big problems Nigeria is facing. The smuggling of rice into Nigeria and the smuggling of petrol out of Nigeria.

The rice Benin republic imports mostly end up in Nigeria while the petrol Nigeria imports is substantially smuggled out to Niger especially. This apart from the cars and a lot more.

A think Buhari needs to f.uck ECOWAS and we shall see even the violence in the North east and the proliferation of guns into Nigeria decimate.
