Car Talk / Re: Using Of Lacquer Thinner In Gas Tank As A Cat And Injector Cleaner, How Safe? by captalex(m): 8:09pm On Nov 17, 2012 |
Siena: I meant do you race on the m1 or go to a racing enthusiast' center to burn rubber. I wanted to get a classic rover mini and tune it up a bit to use it for occasional races and drive mainly on Sundays. Heard they go for about 4000 pounds on pistonheads now. |

Siena: Points noted siena. when he told one of his boys to reinstall the thermostat,the boy just placed the thermostat inside a valve and i asked if it wasn't supposed to sit properly before he sealed the pipe with glue, but he said there wouldn't be any issues. Way forward now siena? |

hey siena, went back to the mechanic to put the thermostat back in.He looked really surprised but i insisted that i would like it to be put back in the car. He put it back and replaced the pipe. But as soon as i started the car and left it to warm-up for a while, the temperature gauge just went bizzare and got very close to the H (upper) part of the gauge. I had to call him back to remove it again and he just smiled telling me that removal of the thermostat wouldn't harm my engine and by the time he opened the bonnet to do that, the water in the reservoir was already boiling to my surprise, which indicated that the thermostat was doing more harm than good to the radiator. Thanks for your advice, I usually like to experiment and see that a certain thing is responsible for my cars' fault and not just to believe it as i'm told. |

Car Talk / Re: Direct Connection Of Radiator Fan Is Harmful!!!! by captalex(m): 1:25pm On Nov 12, 2012 |
Siena: But The Mechanic insists that the overboiling of the water in the radiator is because of the thermostat in the 99 camry. |
Car Talk / Re: Changing The Radiator Of Your Tokunbo Car From Single Cell To Double Cell by captalex(m): 1:11pm On Nov 12, 2012 |
zoogy2007: I have been driving the same camry for 4 years now with the single cell radiator and i have never experienced any temperature issues.If your car was made in the US then please don listen to anybody. Use your radiator the way it came and always ensure that the two cooling fans are always functional. Have a good day. Mine is american(daytime running lights) and came with a leaky one-cell radiator that was why i went all out to buy and install a double-celled one. 1 Like |

Sam Milla: Sam the fact that you managed to land a 3rd-hand bmw doesn't give you the right to bash my ride, I chose it and bought it because of the purpose i needed it to serve, which it has effortlessly done. I used to drive a bmw 7 series that my Dad owned a few years back ,but now no one goes near that car because it could stop at anytime on the road and start flashing the emergency light.So i Know how bmws perform. Lets see the resale value of your aproko bmw 5 yrs down the line when it packs-up, if people won't be offering you pitty-change. |

Ikenna351: save the pity for yourself ikenna, if your contribution was to intimidate me you just failed. that's why i always direct my questions to people like siena that are cool headed and not engrossed in their own naivety. @siena do i go back to the mechanic and tell him to reinstall the thermostat he removed in order to fix this problem? |
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: How Are You Coping Without A Job by captalex(m): 7:28pm On Nov 10, 2012 |
Staying at home is not really the issue, finding something constructive to do to occupy ones time with is the issue. Like someone said, You could go into the farming/poultry business with some of the money you saved from your NYSC year or better yet They could spend this time reading on all those topics/subjects they missed out during uni days when they had to go out clubbing or having fun. You could also try your hand at developing things(applications,media,writing) you never know you might find what really interests you thorough this. All other positive suggestions are welcome. |

joboy834: Here i was thinking I would be able to choose what department i would be able to best fit in. Guys in GTB IT Department, what does your daily work routine look like?, and how did you "get there".Convince HR or interviewers that you would be essential to that post? And is the pay better than our marketing peeps? |
Car Talk / Re: What Does Your Coolant Gauge Read? by captalex(m): 3:41pm On Nov 10, 2012 |
hey siena, Was driving yesterday and noticed my temperature gauge didnt even get to the halfway mark, even when I had the Ac on. I had the thermostat removed when i installed the new double-cell radiator because the mechanic said it was causing the water in the radiator to boil too quickly. Does an under-cooled engine pose any risks and threats to the life span of the car. A snapshot of my dashboard. 1 Like

Car Talk / Re: Your First Driving Lessons by captalex(m): 3:34pm On Nov 10, 2012 |
when we were little my dad would allow us to start our brand new peugeot 504 in the Base and revv the hell out of engine for good measure, then he would turn the AC on and allow us enjoy it for a while before taking us to school. I only learnt how to drive a year ago. I enrolled in a driving school where we used a 5 series bmw to learn, i always enjoyed coming back from trip, we would have to peform perfect braking,a case where the car should stop without jerking. 1st week was gear one, by 2nd week boying were tearing gear 3. Now i tear lagos roads as if my bedroom na express. heheh I would have learnt much earlier but i went to boarding school all through. 1 Like |
