Please I need your assistance and suggestions. Due to light situation in my area, Enugu State, I'm thinking of solar as backup. what capacity and brand 'of inverter, battery, and solar panel will be required for 2 TVs (55inch & 32 inch), 2 decoders, 5 ceiling fans, 2 rechargeable fans, 4 laptops, 15 bulbs (5 watts), 1hp inverter AC, 8.5kg washing machine, pumping machine and 259L freezer. I intend to only to use the solar system as backup to NEPA. The heavy load appliances such as washing machine, AC, pumping machine & freezer will run only during the day (10am - 4pm). Also, a rough estimate on the cost implications will be appreciated. |

Scanfrost 8 kg top-loader washing machine 6. Haier/Thermocool 259 L chest freezer I’m a newbie and want an affordable/durable hybrid pure sine-wave inverter, long-life batteries, and efficient solar panels that can reliably power these appliances for several hours.

Hello everyone, I need some advice. I recently purchased a 2008 Nigerian-used Toyota Corolla. Could you please recommend the best engine oil and transmission fluid for this car? Also, my installer presented me with three car tracking devices (pictures attached), but I'm having trouble deciding which one to choose. Please, which of these is the most effective? Your input would be greatly appreciated!

My Peugeot 406 is consuming lots of Fuel. I spend about 16k or 18k every three days on fuel for a distance that is not up to 1km - just city drive work and school runs only. I used to use 10 - 12L for one week, but now it's about 20L every three to four days. What could be the issue? The last time I scanned it (three weeks ago), I was told and shown that there were no permanent error codes and the temporary ones wiped immediately they were cleared. But, this high fuel consumption continued. My catalyst is also intact. Please, help a brother! |

Lol! I'm kinda immune to it. I'm yet to book and I'm tempted to book now, hence the question. What do you think of KLM or Airfrance with one connecting flight/layover? Must I have Schengen or transit visa to use them? Thegamingorca: |

Greetings everyone. My vehicle (Peugeot 406) have some AC issues. When the AC is on, only the air vents on the passenger side will be chilling while the 2 air vents on the driver's side are not. What could be the problem and how can it be resolved? I have visited several AC technicians and they seem clueless about the issue. Pls help a brother. |
