Citiwebb1: There’s nothing more frustrating than getting excited about fixing a problematic automobile all by yourself only to discover that the repairs required are well beyond your skills as a mechanic!! Nevertheless, there are times when the average DIY enthusiast shouldn’t begin to ponder particular automotive repairs and leave the problem to the professionals.
Here are examples of when it’s best to protect your vehicle and yourself by not trying to repair your car yourself.
Bodywork and paint – Repairing damaged body panels and applying paint is an expensive, messy, noxious, and time-consuming process. Between all the fumes and required training, it’s one of those repairs that specialized professionals are the only obvious option.
Windshield replacement – This is one of those repairs that all drivers dread, and it’s easy to understand why. The smart thing to do is to get a brand-new windshield professionally installed because the last thing you need is a leaky piece of glass ruining your interior
Fuel system fixes – Fuel systems have the capacity to cause headaches, garage fires, and even unconsciousness. Our recommendation is to play it safe and leave anything having to do with replacing a fuel pump, tank, injectors, rails, or pressurized lines for professionals to handle.
Snapped coil springs – Always under extreme pressure and strong enough to kill a full-grown man, the springs on a car are tightly wound mouse traps. There are dangers and risks associated with swapping springs and it’s best to let a trainer and skilled mechanic do his thing.
AC system restoration – The number of parts requiring replacement on a modern vehicle when an AC compressor locks-up is staggering. Once that crucial component seizes up, it will more than likely send tiny shards of metal through every inch of the system, meaning every line and fitting needs to be replaced along with the condenser, evaporator, compressor, and various other items. It’s expensive, time-consuming, and dangerous, and a task that even trained professionals may dread doing.
Brake plumbing and reservoir replacement – Even the small stuff, like replacing your brake pads and rotors can put you in dangerous territory really quick. Being able to stop safer than when you started is the reason we bleed brakes and upgrade pads and rotors with aftermarket options, but things don’t always go according to plan. So when something like a master cylinder or a line rusts in half, it’s usually best to take your car to a shop for repairs in order for everything to be flared and fixed properly.
Defective airbag fixes – This last warning should be a bit obvious, but that doesn’t stop people from trying to swap out detonated or defective airbags on their own. Unplugging everything properly and removing the old unit is one thing; fitting in the fresh airbag can be a completely different story. While these kinds of repairs may save you money (when not covered under warranty or recall), relying upon trained professionals will provide you both with peace of mind and factory fitment without all the headaches.
Hope you enjoyed reading this, now you know a few car repairs you should never try yourself

CALL: 08035355245 I agree to 1 or 2 but not all. I will do limited body work but not paint. When i hit a dog on 140km/h, it destroyed my front bumper and broke my resonator box. I bought and replaced both myself and took the car to the painter. I wont do windshield, but i wont leave them to it either. I will totally do fuel system. I have replaced fuel pump and fixed fuel pump relay. Volkswagen Golf, Vento, Sharan commercial drivers constantly move with spare fuel pump or they will eventually sleep in the bush one day. Coil spring can be done with the right tools. With the right tools and proper info, AC is a walk in the park. Brake master was my latest DIY. I fixed the failing brake master. I bought and replaced the 3 rubber cup kits and the master came back to life like magic. I did the same on the former brake master and now have a spare. Imagine how i wasted N8,000 to buy a brake master from a salvaged car when the solution was N500 in parts. I also replaced the same rubber cup kit for my 2003 Accord rear brake drum that was leaking hydraulic. I also did brake pad replacements on almost 5 different cars. Bleeding was done by me with an assistant. Infact, i bleed the ABS pump. Airbag is a no go area for me, for now. Fixing a car is not rocket science, it is having the right knowledge, parts, equipment and a little bit of skill. I developed my DIY skills and enthusiasm from Cartalk by asking questions and getting relevant response by professionals in this forum. I will encourage you to give out so you will in turn be blessed. Hausa man says, "rashin sani, bako ya sha ruwan wanka". Translation, "Unknowingly, the guest drinks bath water". Guide people so that they dont drink bath water. Your thread would be better as an exposé for DIYer's than a deterant. I wont tell my 16yr old child leave driving for those 18 and above, i will teach him to drive and tell him wait till you get your license. |

tchidi066: Why are men this insensitive, what stops him from renting an apartment with his new bride... Have you thought of the possibility that the 1st wife could a sugar momma to one area boy? Or you are just biased towards women even if they are wrong. I have an uncle whose wife is a piece of work. Their differences got so wide that he decided to marry another wife. The funny thing is that she blamed everybody except herself for the failed marriage. She will not greet or answer pleasantries from my father, mother, myself or my siblings as if i was the one who told her husband to marry another wife. The truth is that most people where happy that he married another wife and the 1st wife became angry at the entire world. |

Who am I to criticize the man? I may be right or wrong depending on what the wife did to him that even made him marry a second wife in the first place.
It could be jazz done by the 2nd wife.
It could be a mans wickedness to a woman. |

musicwriter: This's descending into debating semantics, which can't be won by anyone as everybody can decide how they define what. That type of discussion isn't helpful.
The POS capturing data doesn't mean that it stores inside the machine. My definition of capturing is that the POS reads the credit card and even additional input like amount.
From your own perspectives, you've said ''my point is with regards to the facts, what INEC has is technically not a server.'' I've told you that I don't care what you call it. It doesn't matter. Whether you call it server, backend, host. The terminology doesn't matter. What matters is that INEC did extract information from the SCR into somewhere. There is no other explanation for capturing data other than reading and saving the data. Get that right pls. I have not disputed INEC not getting data, i am stating that the only official data they got is accreditation data. Voting data that Atiku claims is what i contest. |

Fast forward, my younger sister is 32 now and no boyfriend meanwhile the 34 older sister who was going to parties is married and has 2 beautiful children and expecting the third. My problem with the girl child is puberty to 20yrs at least. After that, i expect the girl to socialize and even fucck responsibly. Girls who have a normal social life in their 20's turn out ok. |

smirn: You dont even understand what a server mean in this case, the Card readers were configured as a stand alone system meaning there are not sending or receiving any code from a central data storage, they only utilizes the code or data stored on them that is why they can only work in their assigned polling units. You can remember Inec saying they need to reprogram card readers to replace the ones affected by a fire incident in one of states. There is no way inec could have transmitted the results to a central system. It was a big blow to the PDP as they were evidently prepared to hack the system and manipulate the result. If there was even a server, how come they have access to it without the permission of the electoral body or the tribunal? We remember the PDP praying the tribunal to grant them access to inspect the voter's materials whereas they claim to have obtained a result from a server which belong to inec without any authority. PDP and Atiku will end up exposing their dubious plan to have rigged the election before the tribunal. The bolded is what the Atiku followers cannot or refuse to understand. |

musicwriter: 1. Bro, POS captures credit card details; name, card number, amount, etc. Without capturing that information, it becomes useless.
2. I already said the difference would be how the POS and SCR go on to process captured data. Now, let's discuss INEC's SCR which is the bone of contention. And note that I am not interested in PDP or APC. I didn't vote for any of them.
If you believe the data captured by the SCR wasn't offloaded somewhere; please explain to me what you mean by ''what INEC has is like a backend where they received mails.''
What did INEC receive in the ''mails''? With regards to 1., a POS doesn't capture card details. The card details are resident in the card chip so the POS only reads the data plus customer input (pin and transaction amount) and sends the data for authentication and then prints the transaction receipt. All through this, the POS itself does not capture the customer data and if it does, that would amount to fraud because that data can be used to duplicate that card or transact in the absence of the original card. On the other hand, an SCR reads the voters card data and compare it to a stored version of the card data and if it matches, the card holder is deemed to have been authicated without the card reader connecting to any network. What gets uploaded to INEC is the list of people whose accreditation was either successful or failed. A card readers operation is totally different to a POS. SCR has every voter data stored and authenticated locally (within the card reader) while POS has no customer data stored in it nor the authentication done inside the POS machine itself. At the bolded, it is not my believe because i didnt say that. I said the data which the card reader stores an is uploaded at the end of the day which is a summary of accreditation data. My point is with regards to the facts, what INEC has is technically not a server. A database server would require that the SCR is the one to receive database from the INEC server but in this case it is the SCR that sends the data and its not expected to receive data or depend on the server for any of its operations. So it is not a server thats why INEC uses the word backend. A server is a computer that stores and provide data to other programs or computers in the network. Lastly, INEC received accreditation data in the backend and not Voting results as Atiku claims. |

citadels: You people did oo I was a PO during the election. They transmitted the results from each polling units using the card reader. I remember the rac manager shouting on me to bring my card reader and upload my results then before I go for coalition. It is your responsibility as the PO of your PU to upload using the SCR. Did you upload or not?What did you upload? Accreditation data or voting results data? Do you know the difference? I was a PO too and i was asked by the RA collation officer whether i uploaded, i said yes and he said, very good. I was among a few who did but i turned around and asked him, the result upload app didnt open, he said forget about it. |
Politics › Re: BREAKING: We Didn’t Transmit Results Electronically – INEC Chair by adanny01(m): 1:11pm On Jul 17, 2019 |
musicwriter: Thank you.
But they both basically capture data, which must be authenticated somewhere else. Admittedly, since the machine could be deployed for many other purposes, how they go on to process that data may be the difference.
You see those highlighted lines (no matter what you call it) that's a database, and I think that's what Atiku and co call server. My position is that the data captured by card reader MUST be offloaded to somewhere- according to you ''what INEC has is like a backend where they received mails.'' I don't care what you call it. In fact, its not important whats its called but that's what Atiku have.
Thanks for your kind understanding. With regards to the bolded, you are wrong. 1.SCR captures data while POS doesn't capture data 2.POS needs online authentication while SCR does not need online authentication. With regards to the 2nd bolded statement, if you believe that the data captured in the SCR must be offloaded somewhere, in this case the server, backend or anywhere, what in your mind do you think will be uploaded, Accreditation data or voting result data? Is the SCR meant for accreditation or voting? Where will the voting data come from? Did Nigerians vote on the SCR? If no, where will the voting result data which Atiku claims has been uploaded to the server gotten from? I am not a fool that Atiku, PDP and a whole lot of learned fellows would deceive. The card reader is meant for accreditation and the resulting data gets uploaded. Any other thing in that election is manual so who is deceiving who, am sure not the one. |

musicwriter: Yakubu is a very dumb man to even say such. Without a central server you cannot compare any information in the card reader to anything. And he should also remember his position also means no information was extracted from the card reader.
That card reader works like POS machines, which is available in shops everywhere. Anybody should go to Google or Youtube and search ''how does a POS machine work''. The card reader like POS machines are not stand alone devices. They MUST transmit information to a sever/backend/host. Otherwise, you cannot compare the captured data to anything neither would you be able to extract captured data. https://4.imimg.com/data4/MC/KJ/IMOB-41945620/screenshot_2018-01-12-14-14-16-500x500.jpg Card reader doesn't work like a POS. While the POS has no database of an ATM card slotted or swiped on it, it connects to the service providers to get information and confirmation for the transaction to be made. The database is stored on the card and on the service providers servers and requires internet to communicate. While the card reader is basically an andoid phone with an offline app like a dictionary app with a database of words without the need of internet or any network to operate. The database of the voter accreditation resides in the phone AKA card reader. Thats why 1 card reader cannot work in another PU other than the PU's voter database stored on it. The only way a card reader can be used in another PU is to physically, have access to it, delete the old data base and upload a new one. Secondly, the only time network is required on a card reader is when captured accreditation data is uploaded. This upload is like presetting an email address where the data will upload to at the press of a button. What INEC has is like a backend where they received mails but not where the SCRs connects to get data back and forth. A server system requires info to go back and fro but the SCR is independent and sends data 1 way and 1 time. |

Now a server link surfaces...if your so tech..y not trace its digital footprint nd stop being emotional....cuz the tech guyz around me has confirmed its a footprint from INEC server I didn't, because the app wasnt active. Before and after i submitted my 2 SCRs, i asked other PO's from my RA if they had same issue, they confirmed the same error message for the result app. I asked the RATECH and he said dont bother about it. Atiku has obviously paid some POs to testify, what happened to their testimonies after cross-examination? You know. |

[b]You asked all APO1's to transmit [/b]results into that card reader adn sent to a particular code....
We know you are not leggally bound to use the result..but its done anyways to crosscheck result that would be physically transported to ABJ for announcement so that they are not manipulated....
Simply admut the truth....liar! The transmission is not APO 1's duty, it is the duty of the PO. The accreditation data was sent to server but not results. They didnt activate the app which the result would have been sent due to the fact that the electoral law prohibits electronic transmission of results. |

truth is Japmobiles aren't designed to do a particular task, they're designed to do set of varying tasks satisfactorily. In comparison, 2003-2007 Accord US has a 2.4L engine that produces 160-166hp and 197hp on the Accord Euro while 2002-2006 Altima has a 2.5L that produces 170-182hp. The V6 counterparts, Accord has a 3.0L engine that produces 240-244hp and 255hp on the hybrid while the Altima has a 3.5L engine that produces 240-250hp. Altima has a bigger engine. |

Even some enthusiasts recommend driving the 4 cyl first before making a decision. I guess one has to drive both cars to really know. I haven't driven the 4 cyl before though, but the 6cyl has disc brakes front and rear, while the other has rear drum brakes, 240hp against 160hp also seems quite much when driving at extreme speeds, my bet is the 4cyl engine would be wailing by then. Both are excellent cars still. Funny enough, the 4cyl never wails. Engines 2.0 down wails but not a 2.4. |

Deluxe8000: the hybrid inverter comes with the charge controller. Yes it does but for what he wants, a hybrid is still not suitable. The problem is when you convert from DC to AC or vice versa, you incur loses. From a solar panel which gives a DC output, the best direct use of that DC output is a DC load. If you convert to AC before the load, the losses incurred would have cost you a considerable part of energy generated. |
