Allaye2889:
PLEASE sir I need help
This Mitsubishi space wagon GDI was brought to me in this condition, they said the timing belt was replaced and the valves was changed but it refused to start ever since then

If the timing belt was replaced, it might have bent some valves.

You will start afresh by removing the top cylinder head and taking it for proper grinding.

Check the timing belt if it's the right one.

Put the engine back together and try to start.

Car Talk / Re: Convert Drum To Disc Brakes by DECOtech(m): 10:12pm On Jan 16, 2023
gonkin:
So i have a 1992 land cruiser, im thinking of changing the brakes from drum to disc. Also pads are cheaper to replace, easier to inspect and also upgrading my tyres to 35s. I feel the front discs have more stop to it than the rear. Also the front seem to last more than the rear.

Does it use the same as sequoia. How much would it cost. Cuz ive seen videos online on conversion kits and looks easy enough for me. What i want to know is if i can get replacement components

gazzuzz

Yes, It very possible. I did that on my 2001 Camry shortly before I lost the car to thieves. The rear brake discs of a sequoia should be a match. Just make sure the bolts with which to fasten the hubs to the axle are arranged the same.

All these vultures preying on people's misfortune to chase clout. What is the use of this his statement . The errant policeman has been arrested and his details made public,on the same day of the incident. So tell me what new thing he is saying.



Modified :
I have expressed my opinion on the issue, which is the matter is being handled and no need for Falz to try and gain over a matter already being handled by the authorities. Come and beat me if I said anything bad here.

Yes, we have HEARD that he has been aprehended. Details of his punishment should be made public. that is the simple thing Falz is saying.

Romance / Re: Bayelsa Man Abscond From Marriage Ceremony Over Incessant Demands by DECOtech(m): 11:53am On Dec 29, 2022
eddie7:
Bayelsa Man Abscond From Marriage Ceremony Over Incessant Demands

Drama as bridegroom walks out of engagement ceremony in Imo State due to extortion.

He paid N1,500,000 to cater for food, tents, chairs and a public address system.

He was also made to set aside N100,000 as the bride price that the two families had agreed on.

Biobelemoye David was asked to add N50,000 to the bride price because he had already impregnated the girl.

He was slapped with a N10,000 fine for making a detour to the wrong path and ending up in a different homestead other than the girl's.

He was also asked to pay N15,000 to appease the elders who had become tired of waiting for his arrival.

Drama however ensued when twelve girls covered in loose robes from head to toe were paraded before Biobelemoye David and he was asked to guess who his fiancée was.

He pointed at the wrong woman and that led to yet another fine of N15,000.

The decisive moment specifically was when the elders demanded for a refund of the total sum of N850,000 that had been paid as the girl's school fees and upkeep since she started primary school!

Fuming with anger which he tried his best to hide, Biobelemoye David excused himself to visit a nearby latrine and disappeared!

He switched off his phone and was last seen at a bus heading to Bayelsa State from Imo.

Charles Ebinimi Owaba


#C O P I E D

I stand to say that this is a pure and mischievous lie! My reasons:

1. Did the man not go there with elders? these things are bargained upon and sometimes get settled for as low as 1k
2. Nowhere in Igbo land do they conduct marriage rites on a girl who is pregnant. I don't know why but it's never done unless the pregnancy is hidden from her kinsmen. the lady must be allowed to first have her child.
3. If this ever happened, the man must have gone there alone and having made them believe he is rich, they saw him as a nobody with money and decided to mess him up.
3. The storyteller does not have the actual facts of this story, simple.

promotervickky:

A lot of cars that you see on Nigeria Car stands and Online usually come in like this. The problem is not that most of them can't be fixed, it's just that some of them are badly damaged and tend to show problems later, especially flooded cars!!!

Lol! ...no be today nah. Its been an age long practice. Some dealers are honest enough to tell a buyer that its a salvage title.


promotervickky:
The best way to avoid this is to know the history of the car, you can do this by running a ViNcheck on it

This I agree with.

How was your experience with the Brand? Mobil 1 is a reputable brand but sometimes i don't purchase brand name but positive reviews.

It has served well though.

A customer of mine ran the oil for seven months in his nissan xtrail before turning up for an oil change and there was no problem.

Car Talk / Re: List Of 24 Cars You Should Never Buy By Nigerian Twitter User (Photos) by DECOtech(m): 11:35am On Oct 13, 2019
AutoJoshNG:


A Nigerian whose moniker on Twitter is @Otunbakush1 listed twenty four (24) cars Nigerians “should never buy” because their problems can’t be fixed except when you take it back to the company.

In this post, we’re going to quote what he wrote on Twitter. He stated the problems the various cars came with.

NB: Please, what you’re about to read is the opinion of @Otunbakush on Twitter and not that of Autojosh.

Below are the 24 cars he listed and the reasons why you should never buy them.

1. Land Rover 3 (LR3):

First on the list of cars you should never buy is the LAND ROVER 3 (LR3), about 27million pieces was recalled months after production, and trust me millions Don enter 9ja.

It might look rugged but, the issues, Transmission, engines, brakes, electrical and so on, it’s can go off anytime on motion, and u will need a mechanic to open d engine right on the spot. The brakes ain’t trust worthy cos it fails anytime, oil leaking into the engine errors.

You will keep visiting the mechanic, and dey will keep collecting money from you, this errors can only be fixed by Landrover themselves, less I forget, d brake disk, and lining has sensors, and dey fail repeatedly, so u fit Match brake and ẹ no catch…you Don die be that.




2. 2015 Mercedes Benz C300:

No 2, Mercedes Benz C300 ( 2015)

All model of this car was recalled due to fire, you can park and it will still catch fire, u can be on motion and it will catch fire, reasons?, fuel leaking into d engine, no Nigerian mechanic can fix it, you have to return it back to d company.



3. 2005 Nissan Pathfinder:

No 3 Nissan Pathfinder 2005
Transmission problem, you can ask anybody using this car, dey have changed gear box like 1million times, major figures of this suv was recalled, failed alot of test, but still found its way to Nigeria, gear can hook OK motion and can lead to accident.

Airbag problem, you can be driving, if u enter big porthole, d airbags will activate and boom on ur face, almost all of this car accident is caused by the airbag pulling on drivers face, avoid it at all cost.



4. 2002/2003 Nissan Xterra:

No 4, Nissan Xterra 2002/2003
Run from this car, it was a test project before it was been released

Engine (60%)
Transmission and Drivetrain (0%)
Brakes and Traction Control (7%)
Suspension and Steering (14%)
Electrical and Air Conditioning (18%)
Paint, Rust, Leaks, Rattles etc

You can speed to 100mph, at 70mph it starts shaking, at 80mph it shakes hard, at 100, accident, it will overturn by itself, if u no die, na God’s grace, if u die u go explain for heaven wetin kill you, avoid it.
