Car TalkRe: Mercedes Benz C240 2004 Or Toyota Corolla 2005 by Commonsense101(m): 7:43pm On Dec 26, 2020
Sorry . . . A what and a Whaat ? ? cheesy.

If you're an inexperienced car owner . You're probbaly better off with the Corolla.
If you have a "Good" Mech and can afford a "Good" maintenance routine the C240 is a better buy by a long shot.
Nothing good comes cheap.

But most importantly buy a "Good Car" . the state of both options is of paramount importance.
A clean Corolla is better than an abused C240.

I'm looking to change the rear lights on a w166 ML to GLE lights and would prefer to reprogram the applicable parameter ( change the current threshold) instead of installing resistors; for the error cancelation.

Has anyone used Vediamo for error cancelation? please point me in the direction of someone who can do this or has the software & associated tools
Lol, for this thread? I suggest you visit a real Mercedes Benz specialist. Most people here are end users or basic techs. I doubt you'd find any REAL enthusiasts or hobbyists . . . . na them dey enter that kyn lane.

Do you know that using goods that gives you happiness can make one to live longer?

I laugh when some people who are as poor as me tell me that it doesn't matter what they use to roof their house, or that the neighbours can go to blazes as he isn't trying to satisfy them.

The day you start building, you are dancing in an open square and many are watching you. If you cannot afford some finish, we understand and nod in sympathy, but for some to come here and tell me it's a matter of choice to see stone coated and still use aluminium, ask them why they didn't use grasses as roof like in the olden days, why did they even bother to use aluminium? grin
Its personal. For me it's a matter of choice and design

Completed a private build with a contemporary design two years ago. Roof design is Monopitched and very minimalist.
I used Tower .55mm longspan Cost me less than 2.5m for woodwork and sheets. But I spent about the same amount on glass/windows . Because the design "required that" . . . . I had lots of 9 coach windows, and corner design. I wasn't going to use an expensive roofing sheet just to make a point when the long span sufficiently provided the desired aesthetics and functionality .

Sometimes ones taste or style preference has nothing to do with trying to impress people. Some people build duplex and put long span. Some people build bungalow( including myself) and then install Gerald because we like it. 90% of the time I wear wrist watch it is under my sleeve no one sees it. the wrist watch is not to impress anyone or to keep time. I wear it because my dressing process give me some level of satisfaction. I Like to open my shoe rack to select the right shoe, select the appropriate curve links and the right wrist watch. I am not a fashionista. it is only my wife and children that knows what is in my ward robe. My dressing is not to impress people but the process give me satisfaction. The same thing people can buy Gerald or Lexus not necessarily to impress anybody but to derive self satisfaction.
@ Bolded Couldn't agree more.. . . . "Quality" of life is exactly about that. Happiness and satisfaction.

When buying tiles, ensure you do the measurements accurately with your tiler and also ensure proper conversion from sqm to cartons and lastly if possible, after agreeing price with supplier, go with your tiler when going for pickup.

I just got swindled of 90+ cartons costing over ₦130,000.

Lesson learned.

I know all tribes in Nigeria have bad people, but we need to be wary of some particular ones.

When I bought cables from them, it's the same thing until I stood my ground.

When I bought conduit pipes from them, it's same thing. They sold fake 20mm at the price of original 20mm Dignity pipes. I stood my ground and returned all pipes

Now it's tiles from Orile.
This criminally minded Patrick Ebere knew what he did, smuggled all the tiles in the truck before my arrival to make U turn to the other side.
Swearing that ' ọgá the thing complete' 'maka why I go cheat you'

I said I'm coming to his shop, he said no that he has traveled to the East, whereas this bastard is right here in Lagos
Errrm, I'm confused. . . .
What tribe are the honest people who sell quality from??

Judge a man based on your interaction with him not this Tribe nonsense. Some of you will probably see honest sellers and swerve because thier price is "high" . then turn to the dishonest ones with more attractive prices and come here to wail when you get swindled.
some guy embarrased himself sometime ago, gloating about buying cheap cables from some seller, after cussing out reputable suppliers ( i think topsy or twinsken) with higher prices ..... .but alas he had bought trash for the price of trash.

Do your due diligence,

95 % of the people who trade in those items you mentioned above are From the same tribe , so both the honest and dishonest sellers will statistically come from the same pool. It's common sense

Your account of the events had several holes, which I have pointed out.

If you have interpreted that as an effort to 'ridicule' you, well that's unfortunate. It's also your problem, not mine.

Ruining the thread? That's an odd comment to make. I have recommended Oga computerglobal so often that it made a nefarious character start a thread accusing me of being in cahoots with him.

You're right, you owe nobody any explanations. It's entirely up to you.

These are all theories, as I stated. Perhaps an overactive imagination. I'm sure they're purely circumstantial. You can dispel all doubt and we can all sing the praises in unison.
I just came across this thread , and it's quite disheartening how people think and interact in that part of the world.

Oga who died and made you king exactly? ?

If this man was trying to sell a car and he posted "important" information that was inconsistent, I would understand your interrogative stance....

Dude wanted a car,
dude utilized the service
Dude shared a story and experience

There's a big difference between a Lie and an inaccurate account... The difference is human error.

Not all incorrect information is a Lie...

When you Lie you have a MOTIVE ..... One that makes you DELIBERATELY DISTORT , RELEVANT information with the intent to mislead. ....(Note "relevant"wink . He has no reason to do that.

If for instance he said the report was erroneous, when in fact it was accurate, that's distortion of am important information.

If he said he chatted the man at 1a.m. but it was at 2.am .... How the fvvck is that relevant?

Only someone who is " LOOKING" for a reason to fault will dwell on irrelevant nonsense while ignoring the big picture.....

Did he contact the VIN guy?

Did the VIN guy give accurate information?

Is this thread about his experience with the VIN guy?

Does he have a right to share his experience?

If the above are true then what the fvvck are you people On about!??

What is he lieing about exactly ?!

You need to calm your titties Inspector Gadget.

This is just another sheepish display of caucus mentality on this forum. I see that nonsense all the time, and I just shake my head. Some group of people consider themselves Lords of the

Honda's Patent on the tech is the primary reason they still cost that much. once that expires prices will drop.
Alternatively the ADS struts can be replaced with standard struts. You simply loose the ADS feature, and your Acura rides like a regular/ non sport

@bozz007 I believe what gazzuzz is refering to is the sport package of the MDX. These have an Active Damper System that switch between Comfort & Sport Mode by adjusting suspension stiffness.
There's a dedicated button with the inscription "COMFORT" in the centre console below the shift stick.Once you see that, you can tell it's a sport Package. The sport package MDXs also have peforrated leather seats.

I drove a 2008 Mdx with the Sport & Tech package from 2009 to 2011 and loved every minute of it. What disadvantage does the Active Damper System pose @gazzuzz? . Is there a maintenance or repair challenge in Nigeria?

Fantastic initiative OP. It is my hope that businesses such as yours will continue to spring up and grow in Nigeria. The prevalence of substandard parts and subpar skills is saddening, especially for a country of that size and potential.

As already mentioned by some, the road will not be easy.
knowing my Naija, there will be challenges with manpower ( not just skillwise but orientation wise ) it is not easy to find hardworking and honest hands who buy into your dream and share your vision.

Also, Consumers are largely ignorant and it will take alot to help them understand that the lower-priced option is not always the cheaper option, in the long run.

One thing is for sure....There are a good number of people willing and able to buy Quality and Pay Premium ... You just need to reach the right target market.

Wish you best of luck in your Venture.
