I think you mean Ignition cylinder not key starter.

Honda EOD is quite tricky so take it to a good electrician to change the ignition cylinder. That ignition cylinder also controls how your Auto gear lever works.

From what you have described it shows that someone had worked on it before albeit unsuccessfully because normally you wouldn't be able to remove the key if it doesn't get to the end (lock).

While politicians and former Governors roam the streets freely and receive praises.

EVILFOREST:
At least After ripping off ABIA STATE, he still remembers to bring some Home.

He did well abiiii... ??

If others do the same we will not be having forex and capital flight problems.

These are the kind of news we need in the South East.

mrvitalis:
A 12,000 heactres farm for $400 million? Are u high??
That's no were near $100 million
Dangote is investigating $1bn in rice farming and owns 700000 heactres and building a rice Mill all for a billion dollars and u are saying this rubbish
No wonder u failed as a Governor, baba give me $50 million I will set up a farm twice that size and make lots of profit for u

Is it your money or land?

Rivers of blood
The security situation in Rivers State has overwhelmed Governor Nyesom Wike.

There are just too many guns in the wrong hands and for the wrong reasons.

This blame game should have ended this 29th of May 2016.

We are no longer ready to accept excuses.

We need peace in this country, i hope IPOB and NDA can drop this their agitation and join hands to make Nigeria great.

I'm not a fan of this trendy torn jeans, makes one look irresponsible.

Terrie23:
I just bought a 2008 Toyota corolla, the check engine light came up a few days later, I did the scan and was told it was oxygen sensor problems . I paid for the sensor, later the electrician came and advised me to change the harnes wires on the engine,that it was bad and could damage the brain box, I obliged, problem now is the car has refused to start, just wont start, I haven't driven this car for 2weeks.
Anyone with an idea of what's going on to pls advise me. Thank you

I think you may have a damaged ECU (brain box as its referred to in Nigeria) also check to make sure the the ECU is communicating with your fuel pump. (security)

FRSC will be wishing they could ban the OP to prevent him from spoiling thier market.

No on the contrary I wish they could actually stop harassing innocent people but rather ensure safety.

Ps: mods lalasticalala Ishovile kindly help us move thread to front page let's have a comprehensive view by all on this please.

erico2k2:
Let me try and say something here
What you should watch on your tyres are the depth of thread, there is usually a marker on the Depth this is what you must pay attention to and this is what Micheline referred to when they said replacement as per vehicle equipment.Once your tyres warn beyond that marker you must change them as the marker is the legal limit fo usage,you lose grip after the thread goes down beyond the marker
As shown below these markers are what we should focus on not Manufacturing dates.

Exactly my point rather than checking for DOM they should concentrate their energies on the wear and tear of the tyres.

lifezone247:
It's all depends, is just like you buying a beverage and the expiring date is boldly written on it, some China made Nigerian imported ones don't have it any way, that is why we need our SON (standard organisation of Nigeria) to always do their job well to avoid importation of such goods into the country.

All tyres have DOM, just that most Vulcanizers don't know how to check for rotation of tyres because its written only on one face of the tyre (usually the front)

It would be appreciated if we hear from members of the public especially those knowledgeable on this matter so we can confront FRSC on this matter.


Report your stolen vehicles to www.carreport.com.ng

carreport.com.ng is a not for profit community service outfit which seeks to eliminate, eradicate or reduce to the barest minimum the ability of people to sell stolen vehicles here in Nigeria.

Accordig to Michelin, after five years or more in service, your tyres should be thoroughly inspected at least once a year. If the need arises, follow the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer regarding replacing the original equipment tyres. As a precaution, if the tyres have not been replaced 10 years from their date of manufacture (see how to read a tyre sidewall), Michelin recommends replacing them with new tyres. Even if they appear to be in usable condition and have not worn down to the tread wear indicator.
The truth is that a tyre never really expires, it all depends on the wear and tear of the tyre that makes it either useable or to be changed.

By FRSC standard a tyre that is completely worn out but with a DOM less than 4 years is safe to use while a tyre that is not worn out at all due to low millage is unsafe (Sounds ridiculous).

We intend to engage FRSC Corps Marshal so as to call his men to order and that they should rather check the wear of a tyre rather concentrate on so called expiring date of a tyre.


However if you don't want FRSC Marshala wahala u can have your vulcanizer quietly turn the tyre inside out, this is because the DOM is written only on one side (the front side) of the tyre.


Please we need opinions of experts on this matter

The chronological age of any tire can be found on the tire sidewall by examining the characters following the symbol "DOT". The last four numbers identify the date of manufacture of the tire to the nearest week. The first two of these four numbers identify the week of manufacture (which range from "01" to "53"). The last two numbers identify the year of manufacture (e.g., a tire with the information "DOT XXXXXXX2714” was manufactured in the 27th week of 2014).

FRSC marshals have made a habit of preying on innocent road users’ especially female drivers and claiming that the tyre(s) of their vehicles are expired. FRSC Marshals claim that tyres expire after 4 years from Date of Manufacture (DOM).
Question: How true is that?
Answer: Completely false (my opinion)

First let’s start with what those numbers on your tyre means:

Do you know that not all states in Nigeria have autoreg® vehicle licenses?
Which means any stolen vehicle could easily be registered in those states for several years before finally re-registering it on autoreg®.
Fill out our forms so we can make sure that they can’t register your car.

Good day carreport
Plz I have been trying to fill the form for my colleague whose car was stolen on ur website but it refused to submit.
Is it compulsory that I upload a 'scanned police report' coz that is what the error keeps saying?

Sorry for not replying immediately
I was given a 48hrs ban by Nairaland mods.

Yes you a scanned certified true copy of police report from the Nigerian Police, the reason is
1. carreport.com.ng is not a law enforcement agency.

2. carreport.com.ng insists that all cases of car theft should first be reported to the police before filling out our forms.

3. Most importantly we don't want people to report other people's car stolen just to spite them.
