so criticizing a so called man of god is a rule breaker. You are very funny

Fine girl, why do u do this to yourself.. Better beg God for forgiveness, quick! quick! Apologise immediately too in order to obtain mercy...

Keneking:
Our yams, this month of May is critical for Jonathan.

He has a date with EFCC before the first anniversary of PMB government.

Recent revelations from those who served in various capacities in his government are sufficient to nail him.

He can keep moving from city to city and country to country, the time is now to retrieve all that his government stole from Nigeria.

Those that love him are beneficiaries of his corrupt government. Nonsense

Jonathan sef

Thunder fire your head. Nigeria has never had a president like Goodluck Jonathan, despite the fact that you and your perpetrators tried everything to mess up his government . That was the only man with good intentions for Nigeria and was competent to it, though not withstanding, the numerous detractors that tried hard to mess him up.

Let PMB finish in 2019 and come out in the public and to see how many will hail him for a job well done? You thing it's easy?

MrHackmed1:
Helloooooooo, I said politicians NOT Murray bruce, and Only use Atiku n Tinubu out of some known as an example, so no sentiment like you think and incase you don't know Atiku owns FARO water, that's just to name few..

He direct Intels Services in Nigeria too

kITATITA:
The bolded portion is absolutely unnecessary. It reduced the value of your post.

I bet you the more he look, the less he see, else the economy wouldn't be helpless the way it goes under his nose. I doubt his brain to comprehend those papers

Well, I may be foolish as you say and also the learned judges of the appeal courts that ordered for a re run are also fools for upturning the elections.I still stand by what I say,if the best way to get justice is the courts,then forth coming elections will be war zones henceforth.The way to go is,raise your private militia,kill as much as you can,rig and ensure you win.Because our learned ones wont see anything wrong in that,Simples!!

You didn't still get it. However, i must really apologies for calling foolish there, that was a bit too far, didn't mean to insult you.. I don't belong to any party neither have interest in politics, but could always see through some fabrications.

If you follow the drama that ensued the appeal court court judgement, you could see that they were stage managed, and wisdom of life and property as well as wastage eluded them in that judgement

Reruning elections in Rivers state without adequately tactful and very efficiently sophisticated security, which we lack means lost of precious lives and property as well as wastage on the part of Government.

Also, if you did a little analysis, all things being equal you could see that the result could always be the same, hence needless for rerun and to waste human lives and resources. .. If you also from your short comings, allow for rigging by both parties , the winning party will always have the upper hand in such rigging, hence the result still remains the same . So why allow the ego and arrogance of some politicians to lead to waste of life in the name of rerun of elections in such areas when you know that the result will always be the same?

Trash out the human vices first. Trash out all the violence. Tackle them with intelligence and sophistication;close all loop holes with intelligence before you think of elections in such an area. These are the duties that the Government owe to her citizenry; the protection of life and property that is lacking in the Niger Delta, not spending millions on election ignoring the human protection factor. Those judgement were just there to portrays people ego and power that could always be contested against, leading to more violence than justice..that is what eluded the appeal court but couldn't elude the supreme court because they are more tactfully experienced and thoughtful in their analytical judgement, rather than by the influence of politicians. You could see through the judgement of the appeal court, in the manner and attitude it was given, if you have the discerning mind.

Please appreciate the good things you have ,be unbiased and follow things objectively. Not everything in Nigeria is bad, the more you label yourself bad,even in the eyes of the international community, the more things tend to go bad even into the future generations, and posterity will not forgive you.

scarter75:
This is just the tip of the iceberg.The supreme court has legalised war during elections in Nigeria by its ruling on governorship elections in both Akwa Ibom and Rivers state where there was massive rigging,killings and even evidence of over bloated results,yet it counted for nothing to our learned judges.What we now have to expect in coming elections is for contestants to raise their own private armies and anyone who kills the most and rigs the most wins. Afterall,when it gets to court they are sure of winning their cases.We have no one to blame,but ourselves.

The supreme court are learned and wiser than you, you look foolish in that comment. The best they could do was to stop that election from holding. Nigerians never deserve to die in a senseless election civil war, simply because some people want to show power and pains of hatred, with reckless meaningless waste of our resources.

If the law makers election was like this, do you imagine what the governorship election would have been? Does it now justify that that rerun election was even necessary in the first place? Maybe to satisfy some egoistic politician at the expense of human life..Better grow up. Tell me one good need of that election that has just concluded? and why it was even cancelled in the first place to perpetuate such human lost to satisfy some whims of egoistic politicians? Stop talking nonsense about the supreme court, they delivered their best judgement there for the interest of Rivers and Nigeria at large.

mrvitalis:
This shows that he is really scared of ameachi
Cos he knows that's losing tomorrow will be worst that losing at the supreme Court

Ameachi tried for Rivers State.... I really thought wike will back Tonye princewill to become Governor.... Cos we all know wike has nothing to offer

Will Rivers people made there choice let them live with it

The way u dey panel beat this grammer ..na waoh!!!!

If this can go across board and not selective probing.

Also , governors account and Politicians in general too should be look into. Unfortunately banks would no longer see money to finance the economy as all the money would boycott banks and transactions would be subjected to cash and carry stored in boreholes wardrobes and underground tanks. Already politicians have started doing so, depriving the economic growth of Nigeria. May God help us

mayor2013:
You have spoken well. Petrol is more abrasive than kerosene. Have personally used both and the result was different, petrol being a harsh and volatile substance takes out those sticky oil easily. Also it dries up fast unlike kereosene which is non volatile in nature requires more time to dry up and doesnt clean up the parts well that needs to be cleaned up. Another substitute to this is carb cleaner but the big question goes thus; how many cans of carb cleaner would you use to clean up those sticky oils away? A dozen ?

Well as for me I would stick to petrol. Another important thing we should not forget is as at today in Nigeria petrol is much more cheaper than kerosene. As for me I would put into the consideration the nature of the part am to clean up. I wouldn't be using kerosene to clean up nozzles. My fuel injection tester and cleaning machine does that. My opinion

Well! nothing is ever straight in life, there are always some gray areas, that's where your brain comes in focus. I for one uses diesel a lots to clean up stuffs because it is a very good cleaning agent and it leaves some brilliant protective lubricants on the items.

But when it comes to nozzles, i uses lacquer thinner, because of the way it breaks the dirts out of the tiniest crevixes

PMB and his team needs to wisen up real fast. They should ask God for wisdom to lead a place like Nigeria and in a modern economy of today that people and analyst really have to think out of the box before you can succeed.

Its no childs play thing to govern Nigeria, a country with so much good & criminal brains with complexity, couple with modern time economic challenges. It is not enough to sit back and and said things would work out nor apportioning blame on past administration for your incompetency without taking proactive moves to trash off such incompetency. No one was born with knowledge/wisdom, but it is freely available for those that seek after it. They should just pull serious sensible effort to fix up things. Look for and consult the brains. They are all available in this same country. Give the right persons the task and see them deliver to you.

Kennydoc:
Perfect response to him. I was pissed when I read his attack on the guy.

As a very economical guy, I always do this every time I fill my tank. Because I'm too sensitive about minimising my fuel consumption, I rarely use my AC. Too bad. Despite the whole economy, I rarely get beyond 22-24mpg (both city and highway) with my 2003 Corolla-S. It's very annoying cos initially, I was thinking I could be getting up to 28-30mpg. I guess the age of the engine is a factor in the low values.

Age of engine not withstanding , if you clean up things around your air intake; your combustion chambers;your air filter; your cylinder heads(clean up all the carbon buildups over the years); use the recommended set of plugs and make sure your current is not leaking between your plug wires and coil etc you could gain your 28-30mpg or even more. Just try it and your will never let it go, it will remain your regular maintenance tips.

If you are savvy, it could also help you keep your car in perfect health all the time, as in, if you observe high consumption rate you will know that all is not well with your car . Curiosity should take you to issues before they even happen.

Wouldn't you like to drive your car like new right from day 1 you pick it from the showroom or dealer/factory level? Wouldn't you like to keep it smooth at all time with top performance, and learn little but very useful and cheap maintenance skills that keeps your state of car and you happy all the time. So its not about poverty but good maintenance culture that is so much lacking in our society. Buy a car from some Nigerian, be ready to overhaul every damn thing , i mean every damn thing , if you wish to retain that car to it perfect shape.

chimexview:
Please learned and experienced gents I need some advice on the pros and cons of Merc benz c280 4matic 2006 model. Any other vital info I can get on this ride will be appreciated. Thanks

Ps I attached 2 pics of the ride

Eyop and Gazzuz and many others please I need ur advice and suggestions

Hello Chimex, my honest opinion to you.

The c280 4matic is overly extra engineered; front & back differentials; shaft; suspensions and the 4 wheel driven thing as standard. What that means is that you would definitely have high cost of owning as a luxury car of which it is: shaft replacement being a wear item, suspension replacement too being a wear item. Personally, i hate anything shaft in a sedan. I can only manage it in my suv.

It is a fantastic ride except for those over engineered stuffs. The truth is any road your 4matic will enter , your RWD can also enter. So the choice is yours whether to trade off for RWD or remain with extra engineering budget and just mop up the extra finances in maintenance.

202kmh 2006 mercedes c230 sport

Recently did 225kmh but didn't snap a picture of it.

That's my nigga!! I hail you oh. You beat me to it by 2, though in a more superior sport sedan. Waoh!!!

Have a car cam coder to take record for you next time or the android speedo thing, that snapping thing, though i have done it before is too nerved. Now i uses car camcorder very cheap from konga.

grimadult:
Good evening all Guru's here, thanks for the advice u gave me the other time. Have serviced the vehicle(2006 C230 sport) but the car still misfires and still brings out blue-white smoke that pains in the eye when u start it in the morning.the smoke also smells like burnt oil. Also found this.

Hmmm! What was the original problem again, are you sure you fed us well? Because i'm afraid, It looks like head gasket issue. Your oil and coolant may be mixing and sipping into the cylinder. You might need to plan replacing your head gasket. Dont be in a hurry yet.

Any ways, pull off all the plugs, check to see if there is any oil or coolant on them, then do a compression and leak down test and let us know the result.

princemillla:
I love this mehn.. .. Thank Bro, but this ur diesel oil, where can one get it?

At your regular gas station, they sell both petrol and diesel.

shortgun:
truth is that I bought the car from a friend and the only thing I see on the dash display is 300 and sometin miles after RESET.

This shows that the Odometer has been tampered with.
The car lags sometimes but moves smoothly most of the time.

I know for sure that the previous owner has a bad maintenance culture.

aside the lagging every other thing works perfectly.

I am very happy sir that u have interest in my Case.

At the bolded, the lag is a very simple thing to handle here(it's an MB thing), you could be cleaning your air intake regularly each time you experience any lag. Like i usually do, each time i come back from a long journey, or from a dusty road and before embarking on any journey, i clean up my air intake by myself:

I will usually do this with either a carb cleaner; or distilled water; or even a windscreen washer that i flits into the air intake intermittently while the car is steaming with my other hand on the throttle control under the hood just to keep up the steaming, preventing the engine from quenching while doing this. This way you will never experience any lag but only ups in performance and very good fuel efficiency with pepping engine sound. Sometimes i blow the air cleaner too and clean the compartment with the pvc pipe.

Clean your nuzzles and blow your fuel lines, then clean your air intake, throttle body and replace your air filter and fuel filter.

If the symptoms persist after you would have done these properly which i doubt, then check your plug cables for leakages, you could best do this at night to check for such leakages and replacement of such cables. Good luck.

Thanx boss,it uses injector.gave a rewire who later found out it was the injector mouth.says its too wide,so i will change it and get back to you guys

My guy, "Abeggy", before you start complicating issue, wasn't it the same injector before you change the throttle cable?
I ask because personally i use to adjust my throttle cable to make my 4 cylinder c180 run like an 8 cylinder, so first thing first:

Check to make sure the length of the throttle cable you replace is the same like the one you removed, if not , what you actually need there is to adjust the throttle cable at the tip nearest to the engine to slacken to give you the kind of slowdown that you need, and not any complicated and expensive thing. You will turn it clockwise to slacken a little bit if it is too taught as a result that the cable is shorter than what was there before, or the tip was just too taught at installation-you wont believe the magic you could do with these things.

Just check these things well(you could play along with it till you get it right) be sure before you go for any expensive complicated repairs that was never needed in the first place. Because i refuse to accept that your rewire man wide injector mouth theory. Worst case scenario, go and get the exact length of the previous throttle cable and install there, instead of trying to give Benz a bad name by the way it is going.

Speed boat

Speed boat Toyota. I thought Toyota has available mechanic everywhere that can trash any kind of abuses?

My Bro don't change the kick starter again. By now you would have had a lot of spare ones. Just open them all and look for what is called brushes(carbon brushes) , just replace the brushes in the starter motto with the ones you could buy from a spare part shop then have your spare kick starters all over you again, in which case you would only need one of them for now.

But before you install back to the car, make sure your key usually return back properly after kicking, else do so by your self consciously(or replace the key) The brushes shouldn't cost you more than N1,500.00 depending on your market and area. Good luck

Just stopping by. My bro, buy anything your heart want that will give u comfort and satisfaction. Something that will give you that much desired aura and pragmatic feel. Life isn't straight as thought, when you get to the cross road you will learn how to cross it.

Scammer, if you have been dreaming of this ride, then buy it to satisfy your whims and live the pleasure that you deserve, but if not, and you need advice, why not buy the MB black series AMG ,clk,cls, sls, AMG GT or the Lambo, or the M3 or the Ferrari, if you can afford them.

It's more tight and captivating, a reward from the sweat of your labour. You will feel much more better and happier and would attract young guys too to celebrate your firm with you, while the mere site of the car alone will be fuelling happiness into their heart than the okon big shoe that only matters to you.

You came late

She has joined our bandwagon

rofemiguwa:
Thank you so much for ur response. I showed my husband all ur replies. At the end of the day he decided to go for the ML. His main issue was getting a good servicing point incase of maintenance and all. And a friend happens to know one.

The suv is more like a pleasure car we already have two odr cars at our disposal.

Thank you all for ur time.

We win! We win! we win Ntorrrr!! She has joined the kings

Madam, my 8 cylinder 16 plugs ML500 no dey chop fuel at all. If someone else's own does that, better check your system for buildups. I use 30 litres of fuel from PH to Calabar, and 50 litres from PH to Obudu Cattle ranch against 25 litres and {(17+25)=42} litres respectively in my 4 cylinder C180. You can see that my c180 takes just a little below that and it saves more fuel than Toyota Camry talkless of Highlander.So fuel shouldn't be an issue if you keep with cheap but knowledgeable regular maintenance that will cost you nothing. Talk of mechanic , you can drive a whole year plus, even 2 without changing a pin. I have never seen a rugged maniac like this before. My little sincere experience.

5hit happens everyday..just like the lots here, and could always be justified no doubt. What a bullshits

Madam, these two cars cant be compared in any measurable way if you want sophistication.. Just take the decision first , when you come to the cross road, you will work around it and overcome in the simplest form. Life isn't just straight as pointed above by Naija Toyotans mentallity. Bland may not always be the best.

chinene1:
Hi everyone, thank God for a thread like this. Please advice me. I bought a 2003 clk 2 door Benz from a friend. He wanted to upgrade so I seized the opportunity. We worked in the same office so I knew that the car was okay cos he was always driving it to work. At the beginning the car was fine but after parking it for like 3 months ( although I warm the engine daily and drive it within the area) the car developed issues. When I try accelerating whether am in motion or at a spot the car sounds like it's struggling then the engine cuts off or it becomes so slow no matter how much the press down. Sometimes when I restart the car it acts fine for another 30 minutes then starts acting up again. To cut the long story short 3 mechanics one of which was the mechanic working with the car from day one, three filter and pump changes, change of plugs (4 plug engine), ejector cleaning etc the problem persist. The annoying thing is the car will perform okay for about 2 weeks then the problem starts again. The fuel Guage has issues as it does not give a correct reading but I don't think this is the cause. Anyone with experience please help. Am already thinking of selling it again less than 6 months after purchase.

Hello Chinene1, that lovely car of yours, clk just need a turnaround maintenance in the cheapest possible way(your air intake, cylinder head and maybe combustion chambers just need a thorough cleanup even as you have left the car for so long for build up to dry up in the system), and nothing more. Pls you don't need to open your engine for any of these clean up, Just follow this thread to the letter and don't waste money. Mechanics will always give you the expensive kind of repairs: https://www.nairaland.com/2656502/bringing-power-fuel-efficiency-closer

Pls also note that 99% of Mercs issues apart from electricals that owners go to spend so much money falls around here too. So therefore Benz owners, digest this thread very well. don be in a hurry, https://www.nairaland.com/2656502/bringing-power-fuel-efficiency-closer

I drive a Mercedes menz ML 320 1998 model and been having problme of steering rag. I have changed this steering rag twice in 6 months and it works perfectly each time I do but fails after about few months.

I don't know if it's a peculiar problem with this ride and if it is,then i'll probably have to go for another make but will be happy if I can get a better solution here.

Please I need an advise on what to do!

Steering rack issues can make u dash away your ML and GL Mercs if you unfortunately start experiencing it. But there is a way out. When you buy another one,make sure you order it directly with the correct part number as the original one you removed(there is hardly a good one in our market that could last, they have all been worked upon). Make sure it is correctly fixed and look for the specific fluid for your car(google for it , cant do that for you now) that is usually poured inside there to lubricate that system and prolong the lifespan else it will keep on reoccurring at specific interval, hence the slogan, "chai dis motto chop steering rag die" whereas it isn't so, your mechanic will hardly know this except he is a researcher, but you do the work for him . Good luck

@auhanson
I really need a competent hand to help fix smoking issue in my 1999 w202 C200 CDI Lagos. Was told the turbo charger is bad.

Sorry, i just saw this now. Smoking issues like this may be as a result of damaged catalytic converters in your exhaust system in most cases.
Do the the following to confirm:
Fire the car, if you here scattered and loud noise, just know that your catalytic converters are scattered and damaged, and may be clogged as well. The best thing to do here is to change the exhaust system with a new one , you wouldn't see the smoke anymore else you would just go spending money for what it is not it. Even if you could change from the back port alone, if short of cash, you will see significant improvement and lowered noise as well...Good luck

Hello house. Happy Sunday to you all. I just bought a 2006 C230 V6(my first ever Mercedes) . A day after it showed check engine and service overdue. It now misfires and smokes in the morning when I start it. Anyone know what I can do??

Service the car immediately with recommended oil and filter, clean the plugs and double dose your fuel with xft for a while to decarbonize the system, all will be well. You dont need any expensive repair there..

car cam is very expensive oh...this one that $1 is now N280....if u add shipping n charges...abeg, na 2 tape my fone for windscreen dey record go

Please state where u got the glass if online or in a store. I'ld like to to one

The good news is that nowadays you could order these things so cheap in naira from Konga and Jumia in their numerous discounted season sells

This is a cool contraption..how much is it...me i use glasses sha...except i buy a strap on camera

Just about N9,000.00..

I think the car cam is still better off for the fact that it will remain stationery all the time, unlike this that u might have to move your head left/right and upwards as you negotiate bends and hills and forward view
