Okay problem 2 (or 3?)

xc90 3.2l

Also where is the Engine serial number located in the 3.2l?

what do you need the engine serial for?

use your VIN for registration and whatever it is you are trying to do

Unless you are ready to pull out your engine you are on a long thing, its stamped on the engine block underneath and also on a sticker under the timing belt cover

lilachiever:
I lost my NIMC slip which contains my NIN, I also lost the SIM card that I used to register it.

Is there anyway I could get the NIN and the slip back?

If you have enrolled for the national ID card scheme, you can get your NIN by dialling *346# from the phone number associated with your voter's card, drivers licence, or BVN registration.


Ensure you have at least ₦20 airtime on your line and then dial the code.

If you want to get Nigcomsat with the first (Primary) LNB, take your dish down a little, maybe 2cm, then scan this frequency, 12519 H 29500 you should be good.

Nigcomsat 42.5°E

Yayi 45°E

MYTV 51.5°E

Guys enlighten me about something. I'm really outdated.

I have an installed dish with one PRIMARY LNB that's currently showing Yayi TV. All scrambled.


I put another LNB right on top of the first one, the LNBs touching, skew at 3 o'Clock and blind scanned,

the 2nd one is showing MYTV.




Which satellite is Yayi on? I thought it was 42E
Which Satellite is Mytv on? I thought it was 45E (same as Nigcomsat)




Anyway

Actually my intention was to try get Nigcomsat on one of the LNB


What would be the best course of action? Push the dish up or down?


I was hoping to get Nigcomsat and something else useful bad as e bad.

The disadvantage there is RESTRICTION of phones to a network. Just like the dstv HD decoder


Kunja2:
how does it work?


haryorbarmie83:
I still don't get, what the e-sim all about, will it be permanently put into ones phone or is like wifi.



It's exactly the same as physical sims. If you buy a phone from a Network it could be locked to that network only.

If you buy from open market, it will be open to use any network



You can have more than 1 E-Sim profile (accounts) on a device, so that means you can have more than 1 line or network on your phone

And you can switch networks easily too.


It's like having multiple online accounts in Facebook app or Telegram and switch between them.

The networks just have to load a profile for you and you are good to go.




www.pocket-lint.com/phones/news/motorola/134640-what-is-an-esim-and-how-will-it-change-connected-devices-for-the-better.amphtml

The use of eSIM brings a number of advantages to device manufacturers and networks, but there are also some advantages for you, too, since you can have plans from more than one network stored on your eSIM.


So you could use one number for business and another number for personal calls or have a data roaming SIM for use in another country. You could even have completely separate voice and data plans.


But what exactly is an eSIM? And what exactly will it offer you? Let us explain more.


What is an eSIM?


The term "eSIM" simply means an embedded SIM card. There are no physical SIM cards involved and no physical swapping over required by you. eSIM needs to be supported by the network or carrier and enabled by them and not all networks support eSIM as yet (see below).



An eSIM is basically a small chip inside your phone and works in a similar way to the NFC chip that's used for payment tech like Apple Pay and Google Pay.



The information on an eSIM is rewritable, meaning you can decide to change your operator with a simple phone call. They're really easy to add to a data plan – connecting devices with eSIMs to a mobile account can be done in minutes. And, as we mentioned, it was


eSIM is backed by the GSMA, the association of mobile networks and that organisation has defined the standard for eSIM worldwide.


Are there any disadvantages to eSIM?

There could be a disadvantage for consumers in terms of choice. If a phone is sold exclusively, it's possible that all handsets could come pre-loaded with a particular network rather than being open to all.


The days of storing numbers on SIM cards are numbered anyway for most people using Android or iOS thanks to cloud backup, but it does involve a change of mindset for those using older or cheaper phones; you'll no longer be able to swap a SIM card to a new phone physically.

Does anyone by chance one a way to change the highlight text menu on MIUI?

Even if it requires root.

Normal Android highlighted text had those text formatting options like bold, underline, italics.

MIUI doesn't.

If you were so smart and learned on the subject, you'd educate him yourself.

Really?

You think the smart thing to do is engage in arguments with a person who doesn't have up to date information about what he was talking about?

You think Nairaland argument winner is a job description of value?


That he doesn't have up to date information is not an insult or slight on his person. He simply doesn't follow that subject matter well enough to know.

Man's can't even tell you the range of a iPace or Tesla and thinks you need to charge them every 6 hours like a mobile phone

Sorry to burst your bubbles, but ICEs are not going anywhere! Electric cars are not practical enough to completely replace gasoline/diesel cars



Do you think an electric truck would match a diesel one for long distance haulage?


Ever considered the time spent at a gas station versus a charging bay?



Increased environmental pollution as electric cars are more likely to be disposed off faster than ICE vehicles


Even on ICE vehicles, most electric components fail and have to be replaced several times during ownership of the car whereas some of the mechanical components even outlive the vehicle.

You don't know much about electric cars and you don't follow their development

That's the simple answer to the lengthy English you are typing.

read up on where they are at. do some research and educate yourself

then make educated submissions that are not based on outdated, and wrong FUD

mh53:
you will need to do a lil maths; do you use up to a litre to top up biweekly? Calculate the monthly oil top up cost x 12 months Versus the one time cost of changing that gasket with the associated labour cost/lubricant replacement cost. My car leaks oil too...a gasket seal cracked underneath when I parked the car for two
Months but it drops once every 5 days or so. It doesn’t make economic sense to drop the entire engine for me when I can easily top up once every two months. Weigh the pros and cons.


as a long term strategy this isn't exactly smart. i don't know what economic sense you think you are applying here

Hope you realize that leak WILL get worse and it will just get worse suddenly, usually when the engine is running under load.

if your engine dumps oil whilst running you will buy a new engine.



I don't get the logic of being afraid to change a seal. It only shows you like extremely cheap, incompetent mechanics
