Bros, you don't purchase from those cheap offerup deals? Or does eBay offer more competitive prices?

What is the cost implication of the below anyway

TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by buddie(m): 12:58pm On Nov 15, 2019
My cover letter indicates I'm spending 950pounds for the entire 7days trip.

Nothing more on the letter apart from that second paragraph.

josiahese:
Kindly share a comprehensive photo of the refusal.
We can't see your estimated expenditure you gave for the trip.
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by buddie(m): 10:38pm On Nov 14, 2019
Hello All,
And the refusal letters follows after all the recommendations as shown below. Clearly many things were not put into consideration before reaching this decision.

1. Two bank statements were submitted for the application( One salary and personal account) with about 400K and 1.2M respectively why no reference was made to the other well funded account i don't know before reaching this decision.
2. A cover letter was also provided detailing all these information which certainly wasn't used
3. Documents regarding all the large deposits was explained in the cover letter and photocopies of all the treasury bills liquidated attached.

Is there a way of appealing this case as i feel the refusal is quite unjust?

Would i be thinking of applying for a trip and exhausting all i have saved just for a 7days trip?

Were the diligent enough not to have seen or noticed all the several other supporting documents i provided with this application?



BizBloke:
[color=#000033]Looks better to me.
I'd like to add this: perhaps you chip off £20 from Transport & add to either Shopping/Feeding/Hostel.

Here's why: I'm not sure you're going to spend more than £35 on Transport within 5 days except you do a Coach Ride or Train Ride from one town to the other.

And you used a £1 = NGN445.65 exchange rate (correct?) I'd suggest using AbokiFx too, alongside Oanda. Actually, I think it's better to have a margin of error by overstating an exchange rate than understating it - in order to manage currency fluctuations.

Good luck![/color]

Thanks again boss. Would enter my DIY mode over the weekend and revert with my findings then.

My Kareem dem already want to set me in that mode of theirs where we just start to throw plenty parts at the issue with no clear knowledge of what's really wrong.


GAZZUZZ:
Two things are possible,
P0354
P0351

Faulty ignition coils. They might be bad, or sockets removed with ignition on when testing.

P0455
P0441

Incorrect flow and large leak. This could be causing the hard start, confirm the device in first pic is only allowing air in one direction, if it is going in both directions replace it

P0010. Just reconnect the camshaft actuator at the back of the engine . 2nd pic

Boss,
Toyota matrix 2007 has the listed codes when scanned.

P0010
P0455
P0441
P0354
P0351

Recently it wouldn't start up but crack well after driving few minutes of driving and making a stop. Kick on one attempt after resting for about 20mins.

A woman drives the car so the intermittent not starting up after small stop over is really worrisome really.

What do you recommend?

Abeg is there a reason why every recently listed customers of yours are all doing only 0.55mm sheets alone lately? Or it's just coincidence?

Maybe this was my intended question gangan.. Yes plan to do burglary proof first for security reasons and to cut cost small since we are building in phases actually.

My fear is with the direct beating by weather conditions wouldn't the irons been weakened over time?


rotecch77:
I believed this is separate question,
The 1st one is for security reason.
To safe guard the burglary bars again rust, red oxide paint will do that
PropertiesRe: The Finishing Of Osun State Edifice By Rotech77 by buddie(m): 7:07pm On Sep 28, 2019
Thanks baba.

So installing and painting with red anti rust covering alone isn't an option then.
PropertiesRe: The Finishing Of Osun State Edifice By Rotech77 by buddie(m): 5:21pm On Sep 28, 2019
How are you oga Rotecch77

For how long is it advisable to leave this type of burglary proofs only pending when the aluminum windows would be installed?

Perhaps one wants to safeguard the building from strangers coming into to do any nefarious activities by immediately installing doors and burglary windows alone

TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by buddie(m): 6:25am On Sep 26, 2019
Corrected as directed

Cost breakdown for 7days visit
Flight 495
Hostel 100
Feeding 120
Transport 70
Sight seeing 70
Shopping 30
Miscellaneous 30

Total 920pounds Equals 410K naira

420K minus 180K disposable income
= 240K by 2months = 480K

Hope it is better packaged now? I must really appreciate your positive feedback this far my good people.




BizBloke:
[color=#000033]Not a guru, mbok.
1. Flight: This is fine. £495.

2. Hotel: Giselle has covered this; so no need really touching it much.
You need to work it down low. Use Booking.com, filter the search to hotels within the postcode you're travelling to; also, use "Lowest First" filter to get cheaper/affordable rates. You can get £100 for 7 days, or lower.

3. Feeding: This means you'll spend roughly £21.5/day if we go with 7 days or £30 if we go with 5 days. I think this is fine. £150.

4. Sightseeing: NGN45,000 (£100 @ NGN450/£) should serve, instead of NGN80,000. Even if you plan visiting a museum, a ticket should be around £8-£15 but it depends.

5. Intra-City Transport: This, I know is fine. Mention in your cover letter that you'll purchase "Dayrider Ticket" per day so that it covers your bus trips within the city. So, £50.

6. Shopping & Miscellaneous: Chocolates, cookies, et al. could be gotten from 50p up. So perhaps the budget for this is okay or you can work down "Shopping" to £70 so that both adds up to £100.

£495 + £100 + £150 + £100 + £50 + £100 = £995. Still look at these categories & see what specific category's budget can be realistically reduced (Feeding, for instance?)

Cheers![/color]
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by buddie(m): 10:23pm On Sep 23, 2019
The guru like giselle237 BizBloke and others, see what i have updated it to below.I however still need some clarification

Depart Lagos Nov 24th arrive UK 25th (Overnight flight)
Depart UK Dec 1st arrive Lagos 2nd Dec (Overnight flight)

How many days of visit in this case as applicable in the UK application process?

Below is the breakdown for my 8days visit (All cost in pounds)
Flight – 495
Hotel – 250 (estimated)
Feeding – 150
Sight-seeing - 80
Intra-city transport – 50
Shopping - 100
Miscellaneous – 30

Total 1,200 pounds budget



giselle237:
what currencies are these? And your hotel budget is much..
Miscellaneous, sight seeing, intra city transport budget are not compulsory to be mapped out... you can sum it up in one and write a lesser amount
redo your budget using 400000-180000... which is 220k x 2
Ur safe budget shudnt be more than twice ur disposable income.
My advice

Reduce your disposable income,
Look for a cheap hotel or hostel
Reduce trip to 6-9 days
Finally reduce total budget using disposable income x 2 as your yardstick
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by buddie(m): 8:54pm On Sep 23, 2019
But since the leave allowance isnt started in the application, it is better to stick with the 2 times disposable income rule jeje.

Thanks to you guru in the house

dilodavid:
If the applicant is entitled to a reasonable leave allowance, the budget is fine. With the leave allowance, only a small part of the monthly disposable income will be added to the trip budget and you will realize that the budget is just fine.
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by buddie(m):
Making those recommended changes right away..

Apart from Booking.com where else can i get to book cheaper hotels, the intended travel period is in November ending?

What date of arrival would my UK application carry in this below case? Date of departure from Lagos with layover in Dubai or date finally arrived in UK, bit confused with the date to use now really since I plan to cut the number of days to 9 days

AutosRe: ASK GAZZUZZ by buddie(m): 10:02am On Jul 25, 2019
Chief Gazzuzz,
Got this Toyota matrix 2007 some months back with MIL on. Been able to scan and resolve all codes with exception of this P0420 code. Checked for exhaust leakage severally till I insisted that all the parking on the engine block, the muffler and adjoining Joints be replaced since no leakage was seen anywhere.

This resolved the loud exhaust noise with a much cooler running engine and fuel consumption for that week was superb, half what I used normally before the fix. Did a fuel Topup for the following week to continue my testing and car did some strange hard starting at the gas station and since then the consumption has gone very bad again.

A fresh scan result showing the only code P0420, what is your advise to resolve this on a 2007 Toyota matrix?

List of previous codes that I was able to address below

Had same issue for sometime on my car, rewire kept insisting fuel pump was weak. When this situation got really bad that starting the car in the morning became big wahala I finally replaced the fuel pump. The automobile has been superb since then with better performance too

adisaaowala:
Please I have these issues with my Honda accord 2008 model.

1. Hard starting atimes. Scanned and got code P0339 (crankshaft position sensor). Replaced the sensor but problem still persists. Rewire is saying that there is probably a connection issue between the sensor and the ECU. I also read online that a bad battery could also be the cause.

2. My brake lights are on even when the brakes are released. There is also enough brake fluid in the engine.
Scanned and got codes on Abs sensor (luvinhubby kindly state the price of both front and back sensors)

3. Fuel gauge "empty light" on even when there is enough fuel in the car and the gauge needle actually seems to be working well.
