thanks bro. I've been using the normal ATF fluid with red container, they sell it about #500-#700. Will try to look for the one u recommended. Thank a lot. U are far too kind

Nothing like normal ATF.. google the recommended ATF for your vehicle and buy it..

estrelinha:
Thanks for your reply

Does anyone else know something concerning this?

Ask us about dogs, cats, goats, rats or guinea pigs, you will get lots of reply but horses??

Let me give it a shot.. there are a lot of Polo clubs in the northern part of the country but none that I know of in the south..
If I get you right,n You need an establishment that will provide lodging for a horse?
I doubt if there is any such establishments, your best bet will be to buy a large expanse of land in any area you want to settle down.. (in a rural area because land is expensive in urban areas)..
I hope this has been helpful...

GAZZUZZ:

Imagine!! See insult..

milestonejnr:
Whenever you see someone driving a well maintained car, I suggest you applaud him (not her.. girls don't always deal on car stuffs) . Owning a car is one thing while maintaining a car is a different ball game altogether. When you have a car, you have another virtual family to bother about...the routine checks, alignment, wheel balancing etc.


But for now, I want to talk about TIRES...yes, tires.
Do you agree with me that tires are one important part of a car? It is the only part of the car that makes contact with the road (if somewhere else in your car makes contact with the ground, I suggest you meet your mechanic), so it should be regularly inspected.

It is advisable to change your car tires whenever you notice they are no longer good for driving. I know you must have seen or heard about car tires bursting on highway; this is hazardous and may cost you something you may not like. It is advisable you change your car tires every 40,000 - 50, 000 miles. This tire of a thing is not cheap ooo, you can ask anyone that drives Range Rover.

THINGS THAT CAN DAMAGE THE TIRES

1. Under-inflation: In this condition, the tires will not be placed correctly on the road. This causes excessive wear and loss of grip and may lead to sudden tire failure. This causes wears on both sides of the tire[img][/img]



2. Over-inflated: This will make the tire rapidly wear in the center of the thread. This will also reduce the smoothness of your ride.
Note this: In some car manuals, it is advisable to increase the pressure in your tires when you want to transfer heavy loads. Even when you over inflate your tires for high loads, remember to reduce afterwards.[img][/img]


3. Misaligned wheels: As a result of wheel misalignment, the front tires may wear unevenly. This alignment could be done for a small fee.

Always look for signs of damage, cuts, bulges and potential blowout. Ensure the tire is wearing off evenly.

Nice one Gazzuzz.. I'm a fan..

Long, painless??

.. It's called An al tag .. Can only be removed surgically. Stop robbing rob on it and go to a hospital...

ZIMDRILL:
thats all wrong information

on average oil change starts from 9000km going to 20000km this kilometre based as per period starts from a year or 1 and half years to 2 years

check the picture for an example

Lol! See the reason why you shouldn't be overconfident!
Now the so called expert is going to be schooled by a woman who has never read a car manual but learnt a lot from NL cartalk..

Ever heard of Mineral oil and Synthetic oil? Mineral oil is not necessarily fake.. and most Manufacturers recommend oil change when using mineral oil at 5000 km but you can get to 10 000 km when using synthetic oil...

HOWEVER, if the vehicle meets criteria for something called 'Special Operating Conditions' such as driving on a dirt road, extensive idling eg in traffic, the car owner MUST change the engine oil at 5000km...

As you see ALL NIGERIAN cars (and some UK cars too ) fall under these criteria...

I repeat, It will be criminal for any Nigerian car or UK car that drives in traffic or drive at low temperature to exceed 5000km before an Oil change...

Any Questions or clarifications??

Sometimes the more arrogant we are, the more we reveal our ignorance...

ZIMDRILL:
unfortunately i can if you dont like it thats your problem

the picture is this we have covered the issue of oil change so many times that people like me wont keep on writting the same issue

forums are there to do research as well not to be spoon feed when you join a forum you research 1st before writting a thread

I tire for all these funny people forming auto experts on NL..
Like the cartalk bible says ' Sienna we know, Gazzuzz and Ikenna we know, who art thou Zimwitt?'

I repeat, OP's post is a very educative one,n if you dont have anything to contribute to the thread, just ignore and move on..

ogawisdom:
It all depends on d type of engine oil one is using. I use total quartz 5000 dt means I can't exceed 5000km on it. I think there is total quartz 9000 which can b used for up to 9000km. My main concern with this thread is for ppl who use their car only for city driving and travell sparingly wit it. For this group of ppl they may nt even use up to 2000km on an oil in 3months, so I guess they can continue using same oil for 6months n cover lik 4000km before an oil change. Although 3000km ll b ok for me to b on d safer side

I actually use quartz 9000, But I believe it will be criminal for anybody to wait till 9000km b4 an oil change..
3000km - 5000km is ok depending on the manufacturers recommendation...

ZIMDRILL:
it seems like yourself you have never read one car manual

the book has sub topics and also an index for which reference eg on the index page if you are looking for fuses, you look for F then under F you will find FUSES

I DONT HOW YOU WILL READ THE WHOLE MANUAL FOR A LITTLE ISSUE unless if he damn as those who think D is for day driving and N is for night driving on an automatic

Well you can't keep telling people to read manuals or google the issues they have on a car forum like this..
If you can't advise them appropriately you should ignore and let people who can advise them do..

FlyboyZee:
Most Toyota user manuals (2010 Prado, 2010 Corolla, 2009 Camry, 2008 & 2010 Hiace and 2008 & 2011 Hilux) İ have seen recommends that you do servicing (oil & filter change)every 6 months or 10,000km of driving, which ever comes first. İ don't know of the 1998 Carina E, but since they are all Toyota, İ think it should follow. #JustMyThoughtsAnyway.

10 000 ke??
Ok oo...

ZIMDRILL:
check my all post and see if i am a fool

I'm here to do amebo...

Zimdrill!! Take it easy? Must you attack everyone with a thread on cartalk?...
His Post is a very intelligent one! So you want him to read a whole manual for every little issue..

If everybody crams their car manual, what Will be the point of a cartalk section?

DECOtech:
Yes, I am the Mechanic. And my dear, pls don't accuse me falsely. I have not insulted you or anyone else.

Anyone who does mechanical or electrical jobs on a vehicle is an auto-technician (be it mechanic or rewire)

A technician's ability to handle any job on a vehicle depends on what equipment he/she has and how well he/she understands and operates such equipment. So, if I can help him with more than typed words on NL, what's wrong in asking him to call me?

Madam, pls spare me oh.

I'm not sparing you oo .
You make it sound as if I'm a troublemaker.. You started it by being unnecessarily sarcastic..
We are good now... Oya chop knuckle
The important thing is that OP gets the right advice..

DECOtech:
OP, when you get home, balance your tires and align your wheels. Coldplay007 knows how to do her's by her self and never needs to call a mechanic.











Though wheel balancing and tracking are most times the prime suspects, they are not always the cause of vibration in moving vehicles.

I guess you are the mechanic!
You would rather he calls you privately so you can charge him appropriately?
I guess where you come from its the regular mechanics that do wheel balancing..
If you can't proffer any advice on this thread don't insult those that do..

@OP.. Go to any filling station to check your tires, YOU don't need to CALL anybody to sort this out.. If it doesn't resolve after you've done wheel balancing and alignment you can then call DISCOTECH

MrHyde:
@Leopantro, Thanks will probably contact him
@DECOtech, I noticed that when am at 120km/h to 140km/h, the vehicle begins to vibrate noticeably.

I don't think you need a mechanic for this. Just get your tyres checked.. DO your wheel balancing for all 4 tyres...

Next time, don't ask for a mechanic just post your problems here so people can advise you appropriately..

Thanks ^..
Whts the price range of a PS 3?
New and Used...

2...

I love games but I haven't owned a console since the days of Nintendo sness..
I'm thinking of getting either the PS3 or x box 360....

I am contemplating buying a very clean close to new X box 360 for 20k..
It's a 4gb console.
Don't know much about consoles so I want to ask is it worth it for the price?

What are the likely issues I should expect because of the low memory of 4gb..

What is the importance of memory to the x box console? Can you save games on the memory?

It's not leXuS R300, it's toyota harrier..
Google is your friend..

You need to go to the market and find out how much brand new of your items cost and then come back to adjust prices...
You will get a brand new thermocool deep freezer of the same size for about 53k...
