AutosBay:
I would be a little concerned about the oil level. If the sound started after the oil had gone low, it could be a serious issue, such as valve tap noise caused by sticking lifters. That sound usually is constant, however. Hopefully you pulled the dip stick to ensure that the crankcase is full after adding one quart of oil. If not, please do.

Another concern is the power loss. This coupled with "clicking" could indicate an electrical spark short. This comes from bad spark plug wires and the "clicking: sound would come from an electrical arc from a cracked spark plug wire. The best way to check is to look under the hood at night with the engine running. Rev the engine a little to get the clicking sound and look for a light show around the plug wires. If there is arcing you should be able to see it at night. At any rate, if you rev up to 2 or 3K rpm and hear the sound while looking under the hood you might find the location by sound along. If you find a bad plug wire it is best to change them ALL. These need to be purchased at an auto supply store specifically for the car you have to ensure proper fit. They are easy to replace, just do them with the engine OFF and one-by-one. Remove one, find his exact length replacement and install it before moving to the next. Very easy.

CAUTION.. WORKING UNDER THE HOOD OF A CAR WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING IS DANGEROUS. USE CARE NOT TO TOUCH ANY MOVING PARTS AND BE MINDFUL OF LOOSE CLOTHING THAT COULD GET CAUGHT AND PULL YOU INTO THE ENGINE. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING! AVOID DISTRACTIONS AND USE COMMON SENSE!

If not a wire, it could be internal to the engine which is more serious. Listening with the hood up can lead to you a clue. If it is internal you are best to see a service center for professional assistance. Usually a good mechanic can have a look and give you a quote to repair in a few moments and without charge.

carefreewannabe: It's not magic.
It's distraction tactic and it works with adults in a similar way.

Next time an adult has a hiccup, ask the person "When will you return my money?" (provided the person doesn't owe you any) and see what happens.

Next time an adult has a hiccup, ask the person what s/he has had for breakfast, then for dinner yesterday and then for lunch.

The hiccups will disappear. I have tried it. It has always worked.

ihimami: It is because of this kind of situation that I like my Audi A6 brands and my previous 2003 VW Passat. I have had a lot of experiences of tire burst on top speeds without my heart jumping out. In 2010 I recommended and help my friend bought 2003 VW Passat and they have cause to thank God for saving their life because as he was travelling to KD from Abuja in his Passat at a speed of 170k/h, when suddenly he said he heard a noise like as if the tire pick something. By the time he stop the car and came down he discovered it was the front tire that had busted, in fact, he called me immediately to thank me for recommending the car to him. Most Nigerians shy away from these German models because of supposed high maintenance cost in favour of Japanese models which has less safety features. To me safety comes first before any consideration for cost of maintenance.

lomomike: This class of cars are what is called exotics, state of the art luxury/ (hyper luxury in the case of the maybach), super and hyper sports cars. What you are paying for isn't sheet metal on rubber. No! You are paying for artistry at its best, top notch quality, you pay for high end genuine materials (carbon fibre and ceramics in cars don't come cheap. Carbon fibre is lighter yet stronger than steel, ceramics are heat resistant than metal, genuine exotic wood surface finishing not faux wood (actual plastic painted to resemble wood), genuine hide/leather free of any blemishes and not faux surfaces and vinyls, you pay for aluminium technology, gold), you pay for hand made (which is given maximum attention to slightest detail and not mass produced stuffs), you pay for a brand that sets you apart from the rest, you pay for pure adrenalin rush (power, speed, performance), you pay for a car that will probably outlive you, a car your grand son can inherit and yet still given that respect that a very wealthy man gets, you pay for the best of the best. You pay for exclusive pure luxury at its peak... Buy it, take it home smiling a smile of accomplishment and fulfillment and forget that everything else inthis world matters. Buy an expression and extension of you.



NB: when I get to that level, I'd buy such cars over and over without batting an eyelid.

bestviewer: IFEANYI UBA IS BROKE
The gragra from Ifeany Ubah, the former MD of Capital Oil and the flag-bearer of Labour Party in the forth-coming Anambra gubernatorial election has died down.
Authentic sources have it that he is broke. He does not have money now to prosecute his election and has resorted to borrowing. Because of his past, nobody could lend money to him.
The only mugu he has been able to swindle (that is what lending money to him is), is Chief Michael Ezeagu, the Managing Director of Swiss train, from Awgbu. He borrowed N110,000 Million to Ifeanyi and gave him additional N20, Million as campaign contribution. Ifeanyi promised him to appoint two Commissioners in his Government.
Meanwhile, Chief Ugo Nsofor, from whom Ifeanyi Ubah bought cars worth N187 Million Naira is threatening to deal with him if he does not pay him.
The word for Ugo is pity, because he has joined the litany of people and Financial institutions Ifeanyi Uba is owing to the tune of 166 Billion Naira, some of who are
a. Cosmas Maduka (Coscharis) 22 Billion Naira
b. Uju Ifejika of Brittania U 3 Billion Niara (read Thisday, July 23rd, 2012)
c. Osy Osigwe 5 Billion Naira
d. UBA 15 Billion Naira
e. Access bank
f. Subsidy fraud 45 Billion naira
g. ETC, ETC, ETC
The illiterate secondary school dropout (JS 2) has spent Billion on Judges procuring injunctions thinking they would last for ever.

Recall, that the Diocese of Nnewi wanted to rehabilitate the Cathedral, Our Lady of Assumption, Ifeanyi Ubah insisted he will build a new one and knocked the old one down. Today, due to exposure of evil ways and blockage of fud money coming to him, the Cathedral work has since stopped.

again, he is yet to pay Coscharis for Ford Jeeps he gave to all the Bishops in Anambra and beyond.
