I am in Osogbo and I don't know any Strong Office here. Does anyone have an Idea where I can get it? |

I want to do a new installation using a 1m. A friend has advised me to buy alphabox instead of Strong. He says it can open ccam and powervu. Please house I want to know if this box has a downside. Is it better than a Strong decoder? Thanks #ViVaFtA |

guzan: Thanks boss. I deeply appreciate your admonition. I have made up my mind to follow the exact steps here. I use the car for company work say Self-rental. Therefore it is not feasible for me to just park the car at once, I'll need a stopgap. I am working on renting/borrowing a car that I can use for the meantime until I fix the car. Thank your once again Sir. Oga GAZZUZZ I'm still waiting for your response. #GodBlessNigeria |

GAZZUZZ: 1. Engine + transmission to be replaced. 2. I can't say what might be the problems of the temp gauge. Other electrical issues include poor connections. My Oga how much should I budget please. Kindly try to do a slight break down. Thanks Boss |

Thanks for your support #GodBlessNigeria |

spartacus11: Thanks bro. Please kindly advise on the best receiver to buy. Which version of Strong is recommended? I have also read about GSKY, and QSAT do you recommend those? Note: 1m installations only Regards, |

Hello guys, I just got a Strong Srt 4663xv (mytv) from a buddy in my hood for 3k. I'd like to know if it can be used for the FTAs. I learnt it cannot be used for ccam and so on. Can it open powervu? And please what's my best bet for a 100 cm installation? Viva FTA #GodBlessNigeria |

mayor2013: That's not funny. Guess I could use some humour. He said the flywheel is the actual culprit. He needed to do some welding. Today the same issue happened. I can't even think of reverse, it's a nightmare. It vibrates as if the engine needs freedom He is suggesting I buy a tokunbo flywheel. Gazzuzz, siena, Lexusgs430. Do you feel he's heading in the right direction? How much is flywheel pls? chukel: My main challenge right now is that the car is meant for a critical job. Infact, in my line of work it is almost impossible for me to not use the car except I can acquire/ rent a stop-gap vehicle. I would have loved nothing more than to follow your advice. #GodBlessNigeria |

mayor2013: Lexusgs430: The flywheel was welded today and the car can walk again. The mechanic said the Engine had been swapped before. He said the engine is not fully compatible with the car. In summary, he advised I buy a new engine and gear system. @mayor2013 If you'd pay 700k for this car, be my guest. Arrrgh Good Nite Nigeria #GodBlessNigeria Arrrgh |

In the last 4 weeks I have been battling with clutch issues. I have changed my clutch disk and plates about three times. I am already counting my losses in terms of finance and precious time. Here are the symptoms: - It vibrates very vigorously in reverse gear. (This is the most annoying) - Sometimes the gears will not function. It will be as if the gear is stuck in neutral. No acceleration possible. - The last one (yesterday) the clutch was not functioning. I had to drive about 30km without the clutch function. My new mechanic said the flywheel on the engine is damaged. He said he'll be talking it to the welder. I'm just confused here Gurus in the house. Kindly help. #GodBlessNigeria |

RazaqMB: Is it 5w30 or 5w40 or what? (check label) Also check your manufacturer specification. If there's any discrepancy, change ASAP Note that the condition of your engine can also be a factor here. Over to you bosses: gazzuzz, siena, lexusgs431, ikenna351 |

Good evening Sirs, I have decided to halt all works on the car for now due to light pocket. I seemingly have two options here. 1. Spend enough money on the car to reshape it to almost factory form. 2. Allow kazeems to do patch work on the car and budget to buy another car within a year time. I have been advised me to go route 2 cos it's a 3rd hand car and therefore I should not treat it like some luxury. Personally, I would love to go route 1. This way, I'll learn my full lessons. I will also get to enjoy the car for a longer period of time efficiently. My pocket seem to be a factor here. Although, I considered that option 1 is not necessarily cheaper than 2. Experts... Kindly advise Thanks #GodBlessNigeria |

I have been busy for a while now. I have been moving the car around quite often too. Today the clutch finally failed. I had to tow the vehicle a distance of 20km. Here is what happened. A friend of mine was driving the car from Ile-Ife to Osogbo, he said he was on top speed @ gear 5 when he discovered that the car was not moving anymore. The engine was revving normally but all the gears were not functioning. It's as if the car is stuck in neutral. This mechanic has diagnosed the clutch disk to be the culprit. I actually paid one Kazeem to fix the clutch the other time. He said he did a "Rebit" LOL. I need to buy a new clutch disk now. My new mechanic recommeds that I change the crankshaft too. Things are getting interesting . Experience they say is the best teacher. Thank you everyone. #GodBlessNigeria |

mayor2013:I think he used a DYI scan tool. The scan tool looks like something I've seen on here on a DYI scan tool ad. Chaii! Just when I thought I have found a Mesiah. How I wish I could come to Lagos. Bros, anyway you fit help? Merci, #GodBlessNigeria |

I was at the recommended auto shop today @Lameco area Osogbo. After loosing the engine plugs, he discovered that 3 of them were black. He told me they are not firing and the car is consuming excessively. He claimed to adjust some things on the injector I think then he said it has become normal. He then proceeded to do the actual scan. Unfortunately he could not get a reading on his scanner. He said that's because my ECU has been replaced by a generic version (codeless blah blah) that's why it's not showing any readings. Chaii. I then asked of the way out. He simply told me I should continue using the car like that since the engines and everything are ok, that the Check light and some other malfunctions are trivial. I then proceeded to the AC man to restore the AC. After everything, I discovered that the engine stalls on idle when the AC is on. The AC man said I should go and increase the throttle or something. That's what I got time to do today. Thank you everyone for your usual support. Waiting to hear from you. Salud, #GodBlessNigeria |
