Bro ... Sorry for the wahala.... MB is a class on his own... If u are looking at C class... I will suggest u go for W203 kompressor or W202 compressor ... Those are powerful engine... Over 200hp. Though 202 is easier to maintained than 203. Don't go close to 4Matic ooo. The Nigerian road don't like 4matic. Good luck

Thanks
Just that production of 202 ended 2000, you know cars can only be 15 years before they can be imported.

I'm looking at 2006, C230 or if I can get any tokunbo locally I will like to start with the last 202 series, maybe 1999 or 2000 c200 or 180.

Seconded. But wait o, edakun debeo Wetin dem do to you.

Acura MDX 2004

Purchased 4 years ago

All was well and good as the farthest place it had traveled to was Ibadan.
Fast forward Nov 2016, serviced it for December things. Changed oil filter, gear oil everything change able

Traveled home safely.

One week after going to drop my family at my in laws, car suddenly developed knocking sound.

Parked and a mechanic looked at it, confirmedmy fears, engine wan knock.

Managed back to a mechanic tgey said was reliable insisted on scanning as my tools were in Las gidi.

Got error code that indicated the rings were bad.

Brought down engine, replaced the rings and some other things.

Entered road, parked up at Asaba, in annoyance i towed it back

Second scan said something about crankshaft.

I kukuma bought new engine


Discovered I had no catalyst, paid extra 110k for that after buying engine for over 300k

Engine fixed, part of the legs changed.

2 weeks after car vibrates anytimeam doing 20 to 50km/hr ater 50, it stabilises. I used my scanner, nothing.

My Kazeem brought someone's scanner, NOTHING!

Kazeem suggested the passenger shaft is bad

I changed it

Yet, same thing


Driver shaft, was next

Same night


The cap Abi shaft cover was next

The same thing after one week


In anger, I switched to another Kazeem

He pointed out Engine seat

I changed

He pointed out another nut that should be 12 but that the Kazeem that changed the engine did only 4

Same night!

In the process ac packed up
That the propelleris bigger for the new engine. I was weak.


To correct vibration bushing and linkage

Vibration reduced, but was still vibrating small small


Till I decided to ask Google and discovered that Acura recovered some MDX 2004 cos of a faulty TORQUE CONVERTER!!!!

My regular Kazeem doesn't know what that means. So as soon as ask back to lag, am showing him a picture, hopefully it will have a Nigerian name.

Plus my D5 on the dashboard is now blinking, I used my scanner no show
Bigger scanner, nothing

Again i remember my good friend Google, where I also found out that my OBD2 scanner can never detect that except a Honda Diagnostic Scanner.
At this point, I weak, am using the car like that till I make up my mind.


The Camry nko?
Abeg, a no wan start..

Abeg


I've suffered on top motor this year

[quote author=sheunpompey1 post=58230638][/quote]Thank you so much

God bless!

They are easy to repair Shay? And their parts lasts longer?

kingreign:
Toyota and acura disappoint you?

Hian

You sure no be lemon abi agbalumo salvage you bought?

Toyota n Honda(acura) are amongst the easiest to diagnose, fix and also maintain

My brother, if I tell you what they did and is still doing to me ehn

Especially the Acura? Hnmmm. Na God day help me.

Am tired, wanna switch

SmartchoicesNG:
Depends on your taste and purse.

Taste? Do I really have any?

I just want a reliable cat, one I can call on any freaking time and will answer faster than Samuel answered God without complaining.

I've used 2 vehicle you guys call Japmobile, an SUV and a sedan, I am tired of the difficulty in diagnosing their issues even with my diagnostic scanner and upteemth maintenance (I service every 4 months, with mobile 1 and change all the necessary things) but they never fail to disappoint you. Acura MDX and Toyota Camry.

Budget: 2 to 5m

cne010:
Lets know your budget so we can advice accordingly.

It really dspends.

Am a little sceptical

So let's say between 2m to 5m

2m because people say older models are economical sturdy abd rugged. Plus am seeing it as a risk ( kinder?)

But if I can get a newer model that will be economical , I don't mind at all!

I love all I've read about Benz and I think it's time to hop in!

Nigerian used is totally out of the options an considering!

Good evening peeps,

Am about ordering a Mercedes Benz car.
Am tired of SUVs so it's definitely a sedan

But, am a novice when it comes to Benz.

Please which will you recommend thatis very good and rugged for Nigerian roads and least expensive to maintain with a very good fuel economy as am always on the move.

All contributions will be highly appreciated as I've just one week to place my bid

Danke

Are you in Lagos?

When you no be Dangote or Otedola.
How can I guarantee that Mt ideas won't be stolen?

I don't actually believe the story

wow

so touching.

please keep up the good work

may God reward you greatly

If I hear?

Nigerians? Comply?

Abra ka da bra.

The more u look...

Lifestone:
What is the meaning of this your argument? Still explaining why the road was still in that bad shape? You are not making sense to me. Incidentally, FG, Aba State and Akwa Ibom State were all under the PDP government.I am shocked that any rational Nigerian will open his/her mouth to defend that sorry state of the road.
I think what we should do is to figure out how to put enough pressure on both the FG and the respective State Govt to fix that road.
The road is too strategic to be in that shape.

Don't mind him. The road is a FEDERAL ROAD! not a state road, Govs can elect to repair it and get refunds

betterABIAstate:
oh please shut up. Jonathan has done his own, government is continuity, let buhari continue and stop blaming past government. Hypocrites.

Will you just keep quiet?
I ply that ikwuano road regularly in Abia state! That road is helll!
If u keep asking for what buhari did, could u at least please wait till he finishes?

All u just keep saying is just rubbish! Bring facts

All d roads u said GEJ did were just small portions he rehabilitated.
Tell me one road he at least patched in the East?

GEJ has messed the easterners up! We have accepted it and we are moving on, people like u should just leave thrash for lawma instead of spewing it here

MyOneCent

If I hear?

I've dated a mopol, Stern looking female mopol!
Contrary to popular report, she was actually v nice

exegesis:
I just have to ask why are we igbos really feeling marginalized. We're always attacking the FG. What about our governors, our local government chairmen? Have they ever been held accountable by us? Someone said we igbos are really suffering. Have we asked one another why we are suffering? Someone said we should wait for the reaction of ipob to this media chat. Whose lands will be destroyed? Who will be left homeless, widowers, widows and orphans? Go to the northeast and see the level of destruction there. Lets be wise my people

Nnam gozie gi!

Abusule007:
My redmi note 2 came with miui 7 developer build. So far I'm enjoying it but i can't install twrp in it. I've downloaded different types of twrp for note 2 but it's not installing. Help needed. I need to root.

2ndly, I think there's need for redmi note 2 whatsapp group for easy communication among members. I'm creating one. Please note 2 users, drop your contacts lemme add you guys

Is your device rooted? If yes

Download Rashr from playstore, download the latest TWRP from en.miui.com, flash the file and TWRP is installed, you can enjoy all TWRP services especially flashing of custom roms

Lstar4real:
still don't work..anyway Thanks

Dis he try uncheking it from the notification?

Meanwhile , did he try downloading rom?

BTW: Has anyone tried the Umi Iron Pro? I need a Nigerian review

Thanks

iheanyi4u:
does it have playstore?

Yes, it comes with GAAPS already pre-installed

Lstar4real:
a Friend of mine using stable ROM & Miui 7version 7.0.8.0 and the 3 touch keys have stop working.... Must it be a bug though I already ordered another screen for him... Any solution dey?

3 touch keys?

This one hard

Let him try down grading or installing any latest dev version

If it continues, then its the screen!

iheanyi4u:
does it have playstore?

Yes! It has GAAPS!

sidnazious:
Thanks for your response....

The phone has not fallen from my hand at any time. In fact I was using it to browse nairaland site when the erratic behaviour started.

Any solution.

There are 3 things that can do that

1. Screen sensor
2. Theme
3. Bug


Which theme are you using?
Which rom version are you using

I had a similar experience whenever I try to use IOS9 or fast and furious theme

I had to use a mixed theme, and it stopped

KuliMart:
We just tested your phone this morning in China, to ensure its in good working condition.

Arriving soon.



Info: No Redmi Note 2 global ROM for now unless third party ROM. It will be released soon, Xiaomi is working on it accordingly to the information available to me. Apology for the misinformation.

There's a Global dev rom released by en.MIUI.com, official MIUI website for English.

That's actually what am using and its v okay, with little or no bugs

Rexzor:
Hi guys! Pls can I use kingroot to root this phone? Can anyone who has successfully rooted this phone help me out.? Thanks .

You don't need to root the phone, just go to security , then permission, then choose the apps you want to give root access

It's that simple but you need to be on the multi language room, as the stable and dev roms don't ve it

Mofetemi:
pls, are you on whatsapp? Seems i need someone like you

I just sent you a mail

lorkiy:
hello all, which would u suggest is better btwn d developer and stable rom....thnks

Developer!

If u want to have all the latest features of the rom

All you need do is to read the changeloh whenever a new weekly rom is out, wait for one or two days to see if there's any hug reported, if there's no major bug, go ahead and download

Eg. Only dev roms have private folders now as its now been introduced on stable

Anyway it's your choice though. Dev roms allows u tinker and play with your phone

Silvani:
Everbuying dot net sells it for $160 and I can get it for $130 using some codes or even EB points

Oga,
I got mine as far back as September and the phone was less than a month it the market then (it was launched August), obviously the price should be lower now and am not a SELLER

Danke

Jiggaman2:
6 min 2 score 4 goals. Don't call it a comeback

Guy, what has Nigeria done to you? You ve just been making anti Nigerian statements

Is the shame of all ur predictions coming to nought, not enough for you?

Why are you making the match Nig vs Gha when its Nig vs Mali, meanwhile, you guys didn't even quality ooo

Don't cause a commotion, we are brothers, respect that

Ghana's budget is not even upto that of Lagos state, you guys have a lot on your hands now, political, face that and let us enjoy our victory

To all the things you ve saying about us, I've one epic response to each of them...........

*in olamide's voice* shoro niyen?

Lstar4real:
I ported from Miui 6 stable to developer Miui 7 ROM without wiping user data....I think I still prefer developer ROM.....Well m cool with stable ROM for now......Flyme Os ain't near Miui abeg.......Mini still d best
