Car TalkRe: Five Technologies That Will Change The Rules Of Driving by CarmudiNG(op): 9:53am On Aug 27, 2014
Cheaper high range electric cars
Target group: Stewards of the earth

USP: No greenhouse emissions

Electric cars have long thought to be the solution to CO2 emissions from gas guzzling motors and yet they’re not so widely used. Why? Simple they’re expensive. The reason behind their high price is the high production cost of Li-ion batteries used to power them. However, professors at the University Wollongong, Australia have had a breakthrough. An element found abundantly in the earth’s crust (germanium) has the ability when incorporated into the battery to increase the energy storage of Li-ion batteries by 5 times. What’s more, improved storage will reduce the price of the batteries.

Networked cars
Target group: City dwellers

USP: No need for a driving license

Aimed at those who live in crowded urban areas, it will attempt to solve the problems associated with travelling in these locations. It is a system where one calls a networked car via a smartphone app and the vehicle (pod) arrives at that destination and picks up a maximum of two people. The pod calculates the best route based on real time traffic information. It may sound like an idea too far in the future, but those at General Motors plan to run tests on this system in large cities around the world by 2020.

Flying cars
Target group: Those with cash to splash

USP: Just fly over the traffic jams

The idea is nothing new and it was first seen in 1917. It was the Curtiss Autoplane, a vehicle that hopped rather than flew. These types of vehicles were initially used for emergency services, law enforcement and the super-rich. In terms of a mass produced flying car, we are years off but some companies are working on exactly this with Terrafugia being a leader in this research.

Car TalkFive Technologies That Will Change The Rules Of Driving by CarmudiNG(op): 9:49am On Aug 27, 2014
Cars that will require no driving license and keep you hydrated for hours

From cars that will allow you to sleep behind the wheel to the ones that will keep you hydrated for hours, there will be outrageous revolutions on the road in the coming years. Carmudi, the world’s fastest growing car classified, has zeroed in on five key technologies that will hit the market in the next decade. And these are bound to change the rules of driving across the globe. Take a look:

Autonomous cars
Target group: Lazy drivers

USP: Save your energy and relax whilst travelling

Fitted with cameras, sensors, radar and lasers, self-driven cars will bring a new dimension to drivers’ etiquette on roads. Although Google’s self-driven cars are already in operation, they are still in the decision-making process of whether to manufacture the cars themselves or sell the technology to already well established car manufacturers.

Car TalkWhat The Colour Of Your Car Says About You by CarmudiNG(op): 9:09am On Aug 27, 2014
Choosing a Car by its Colour

Do you know that the colour of car you drive can reveal a great deal about your personality? In addition to the many different aspects to consider when buying a car, such as budget, comparing car brands, sizes, models, mileage, prices, you also have to consider the car’s colour. The colour you choose can also tell your outlook and attitude about yourself, your life and your lifestyle choices. Believe it or not, the colour of a car may tell the people a story of the car owner.

WHITE
White is a combination of all colours within the light spectrum, and is always associated with goodness, perfection, purity, innocence, truth, faith, sincerity, cleanliness, peace and harmony, refinement and dignity.
Those who drive WHITE cars are often generous and outgoing people who are earnest and accommodating, and often have very trusting personalities. As regards confidence, they, may be viewed as averagely confident and consistent. A dirty white car can imply that the owner is indifferent, lazy and sloppy.

Car TalkThinking To Buy A Luxury Car Insurance? A Look At The Must Have Add-ons by CarmudiNG(op): 8:16am On Aug 27, 2014
These days, buying a luxury car is becoming a trend. Thanks mainly to a host of luxury car options, many don't even think twice before purchasing their fancy cars.
However, maintaining a luxury car may cost a lot. In fact, one of the key issues with high-end cars is the high cost of repairs — even minor damages can burn a hole in your pocket.
Buying insurance for luxury cars is quite simple, as most covers are bundled with accessories and other car servicing packages.
However, given the huge bills, their repairs could run up to a lot, and it would, therefore, be wise to look for more a wholesome coverage. There is a limited network of authorized repair workshops for luxury cars and the possibility of getting the damaged parts repaired is low.
A comprehensive cover with value-added features, therefore, is often recommended by experts. Over the last couple of years, car insurance covers have become highly comprehensive, offering a range of add-ons that are crucial, especially for a luxury car.
While ignoring comprehensive insurance would be a mistake, resisting the urge to splurge on all heavily-promoted add-ons is advisable. To strike the right balance, you need to do your own homework.
Here's some help in understanding the add-ons:

Depreciation Reimbursement
It is a must for every luxury car, according to insurers. Depreciation reimbursement cover offers to settle the full claim without any deduction for depreciation on the value of parts replaced.
Availing this add-on would be of help particularly when you need to replace high cost parts of your luxury cars.

Engine Cover
Then, there is the cost of repairing the damage to the engine, particularly due to flooding. "Such vehicles are also prone to damage due to water ingress and the cost of repair/replacement of engine is to the tune of 30-40% of the cost of the vehicle. Hence, engine cover must be taken by the owners of luxury cars.

Roadside Assistance
Typically, roadside garages are not capable of handling repair works for luxury cars. The servicing of such vehicles calls for a certain skill set, which is available only with the company-authorised service centres.
Private towing services are also available for car owners who don't opt for roadside assistance service as part of the car insurance policy. However, these agencies may manhandle the car, which could lead to further damage even before it reaches the service centre.
Owning a luxury car can be quite easy if you have the right insurance policy and add ons.

Car TalkRe: Car Fire: Know the signs. by CarmudiNG(op): 1:09pm On Aug 21, 2014
Fire Signs
An early indication of a problem is a fuse that blows more than once. The source of the triggered fuse could be either a faulty component or a wiring problem. Both issues can be dangerous and should be resolved. Next, check for oil leaks and always use a funnel when adding oil. Oil spilled on a hot exhaust manifold can cause a fire. If you have a gas station attendant add oil, double check that the cap is on securely. This sounds obvious, but better to check than end up with oil all over your engine compartment at best, or an engine fire at worst. Also, include a check of the fuel system in your regular maintenance schedule. Electrical or fuel system problems are the major causes of car fires. Another source of exhaust-related fires is the catalytic converter, the cylindrical unit located in the exhaust pipe, forward of the muffler (which is normally slightly larger in size). Catalytic converters are so hot they can ignite dried grass directly under the parked vehicle.

Causes of Car Fires
Design flaws
A design flaw in a vehicle usually isn't going to cause a car fire on its own, because there's no on/off switch for lighting a vehicle ablaze. Design flaws, however, can make conditions really ripe for a fire, and sometimes even create conditions in which an eventual fire is inevitable. Usually, the manufacturers catch on to these situations before incidents become widespread. They issue recalls to get the dangerous cars off the street and fix the problems, because no carmaker wants to be known for combusting its customers. Like all automobile fires, a design flaw is only the first step leading to a blaze.

Poor maintenance
Forgetting or neglecting to properly maintain your car can indirectly lead to a vicious car fire. Human error probably isn't going to be the direct cause of a fire in your vehicle -- after all, being lazy isn't quite the same as striking a match and igniting a wick that goes into the gas tank. But if you're sloppy about maintenance, your car is going to be a lot more dangerous, in general, and the increased likelihood of a car fire is just part of the greater risks you're taking. It's true, forgetting or neglecting to properly take care of your car can indirectly lead to a vicious fire. That's because if you let broken parts, leaky seals, or faulty wiring go without repairs, it'll make your car a lot more hospitable to the conditions that cause a fire. An engine with a bad gasket is more likely to drip hazardous (and flammable) fluids. Frayed wiring is more likely to spark and make contact with flammable materials. Isn't it better to know if your car is a potential deathtrap? Just pop the hood every now and then and take a cursory look around.

Overheating engines
An engine that overheats and causes a car to catch on fire is an especially good example of how one problem can lead to another. A car's engine probably won't overheat enough to simply burst into flames all on its own. But what can happen (and pretty easily, by the way), is an engine can overheat and make the internal fluids, like oil and coolant, rise to dangerous temperatures and begin to spill out of their designated areas of circulation. When that happens, they drip, drizzle and spurt throughout the engine bay and onto the exhaust system, landing on other hot parts, where they can easily ignite and spread.
Generally, though, an overheating engine requires mechanical attention. There's often a leaky seal or gasket, or the radiator isn't working properly, or any number of other things. If your car's engine is constantly overheating ... well, that's not a symptom to ignore.

Spilled fluids
The average car or truck has a number of flammable and highly dangerous fluids under the hood: gasoline or diesel fuel, engine oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid and even engine coolant. All of those fluids are circulating when the car is on, and all of them can catch fire pretty easily if their lines, hoses or reservoirs take a hit. So even though one of the car's vital liquids is unlikely to start spewing or dripping out of nowhere -- generally, something else has to go wrong first -- the fact that all of these fluids are flammable to begin with is a problem in and of itself. Combined with another aggravating factor, like a car crash or a failed part, the result could be a fire. Though such a blaze is most likely to start in the engine bay, where all of these dangerous liquids are concentrated, keep in mind that some of them, like fuel and brake fluid, are moved along the entire length of the car.

Electrical system failures
Electrical system failures take the second spot on the list because they're the second most common cause of car fires [source: Walters Forensic Engineering]. Car batteries are problematic, and not just the hybrid and all-electric vehicle battery pack types we've already discussed. A typical car's standard battery is capable of causing plenty of trouble. The battery's charging cycles can cause explosive hydrogen gas to build up in the engine bay, and the electrical current the battery provides (along with faulty or loose wiring) can produce sparks that can quickly ignite a fluid drip or leaked vapors. The electrical system's hazards aren't confined to the area under the hood, either. Electrical wiring runs throughout the entire car; through channels, into doors, under the carpet and through powered and heated seats, just to name a few places where a stray, unnoticed frayed wire could cause havoc.

Fuel system leaks
Leaks in the fuel system are the most common cause of vehicle fires,any number of complicating factors can cause a fuel leak, but they're tricky because fuel leaks can also arise on their own and with very little warning. A fuel system leak is really dangerous. We've already discussed that a lot of a car's fluids have corrosive, poisonous and flammable properties, but gasoline is among the worst. Gasoline at a temperature of just 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7.2 degrees Celsius) or above can quickly catch fire from a simple spark. It happens all the time in a running car, after all, but it's contained by the engine. And gasoline that reaches 495 degrees Fahrenheit (257.2 degrees Celsius) will ignite by itself. It's easy to see how fuel dripping onto hot metal and plastic parts can cause a fast-spreading fire. The best way to reduce chances of a fuel system fire is to make sure the car is properly maintained and to keep it out of the situations we've already described. And if you ever smell gas in or around your car, find and fix the leak immediately!
It should be noted that there is rarely a single cause for any given car fire, even if an investigator can trace all the way back to the incident that sparked the blaze. It's more likely that there was a combination of causes: human causes, mechanical causes, and chemical causes, and they all worked together to create an incredibly dangerous situation.

Car TalkCar Fire: Know the signs. by CarmudiNG(op):
In the automotive world, smoke does not necessarily mean fire. Depending on the age of the vehicle, it could be steam from the radiator, often caused by a broken fan belt or over-heated engine. The simple fact is if your vehicle is smoking or putting off odors, something's gone wrong.
A significant percentage of smoking vehicles leads to serious consequences. According to the Federal Road Safety Corps, vehicle fire accidents make up 48 per cent of the total number of cars involved in accidents in Nigeria.

Car TalkWhat Should I Do With My Old Car ? by CarmudiNG(op): 10:18am On Aug 21, 2014
https://www.carmudi.com.ng/journal/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/image1-660x400.jpg

So many of us have cars in our garage that are old and not for the road anymore. It is usually our grandparents’ or parents’ or ours from way back. We can easily get rid of it. Then again there’s always something about this car that you don’t totally want to let go. It could be that it still has a cool interior/exterior or there’s just some emotional attachment to it.

Well there’s always something to use an oldie for. Why not try and sell it ? If the engine is still reparable and someone is wiling to buy,it would get you some extra cash. If the engine is totally knocked and the spares are no longer in the market,you could sell it as scraps.

That’s the boring way to go about it though,especially if the price the buyers are offering is unappealing and you don’t really need the space it is occupying in the garage. Firstly you could do it the simple way, clean it good, remove some unnecessary parts of the car and keep it for storing little things you don’t want in the house. Shouldn’t be so bad having a mini storage.

A more creative way to go about it is to do some fancy work on it. I mean you can always clear and create space in the car. If you are the handy type you need not employ anyone to do this for your. Re-paint the car to any color(s) of your liking. Change the seat fabric to something fancy and put some air fresheners and put whatever little decor you want in it. You can have your fancy leave-in ‘vintage’ car just in your garage. Then it could be your hide out place depending on where your garage is in your house. So that nice 1899 vehicle of yours can be more, if you sell it ! Fix it ! Or make it look good and useful !

Don’t be fooled by a shining engine. Engine washes are often intended to mask leaks. However, splashes of oil or water are also indicators for a deficiently working engine. After your test drive, have a second look for leaking tube seals. Besides, damaged or scratched screw connections are an indicator for bigger reparations in the past.

Car TalkThis Is Why You Should Buy A Hybrid Car by CarmudiNG(op): 10:41am On Aug 15, 2014
https://www.carmudi.com.ng/journal/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/image-660x400.jpg

The Hybrid cars genre can be seen as the solution to the increasing problem of fuel consumption in cars. Therefore the auto industry stepped up it’s technology to create hybrid cars. A hybrid vehicle runs on two or more power sources, it could be nuclear-electric, diesel-electric, fuel-electric, gas-electric etc, these are the commonly used types and they are usually called ‘HEVs’ (hybrid electric vehicles) they do not only improve fuel economy but also increase power or additional auxiliary power for electronic devices and power tools.
Why buy a hybrid vehicle ? Or why two engines instead of one ?

The reason for two motors is in the strength and weakness of both. The electric engines turn-off when idle and do not use as much as gas motors at high speed. Also they do not produce any exhaust thus reducing smog level. Another advantage of a hybrid depending on its type is that it charges itself while running.

In addition, the fuel efficiency comes from improvements in aero dynamics, weight reduction and, the biggest change: a smaller, less powerful gas engine. In fact, any car will get substantially better mileage just by reducing the engine size. The main reason this is not done has to do with customer demand – they want the extra power and zippiness.
Furthermore the hybrid car is ‘Eco’ friendly thus the small increase in fuel economy makes a large difference in emissions. In large cities where pollution is at it’s worst, they make a distinctive difference since they produce very minimal emission.

With all the technology and dual engine, the hybrid cars are more complex and expensive due to the ancillary systems to manage them and their heavy batteries. These systems must work together in conjunction with the computers that control them. Although more capable but still suffer failures, therefore a hybrid car owner would buy at an expensive price and also would be ready for higher repair costs.

The hybrid cars could be a major relief to Nigerian car owners because of it’s fuel economy and the green effect. Our great nation would benefit greatly from zero or no pollution.
