MotoringNigeria:I don't understand how it got personal. I though it was still classical.... You asked the whole world a question and on the same spirit, I asked you another similar question. We are all here to learn and catch fun but if you want it to get physical or personal, let's meet at oshodi under bridge at midnight today...caveat...come with enough bandages and a stretcher. .. Lol....pun intended |

How do you determine a tint from a factory? Which section of the law states explicitly that the tint must be 'factory tinted'? So much misinformation. Download the law and read it. |

| Car Talk › Re: Locations Of All NL Mechanics (no Kazeem) by Denn(m): 6:36am On Jul 02, 2015 |
This discrimination against 'kazeem' gives me worry. Our roadside mechanics might not be as schooled as we are or follow the latest mechanical trends but we can not totally write them off. We have artisans and great innovators amongst them. The average 'oyinbo' mechanic has access to genuine parts and diagnostic tools. He is possibly a dealership trained technician in his younger years and has access to the proper tools. How many oyinbo panel beaters can fabricate a vehicle fender from a sheet of metal? What they do is just buy a new fender for less than 50 USD and bolt it onto place. How many oyinbo 'rewire' can troubleshoot a wire connection using nothing but a tester (bulb and wire on a screwdriver) instead of simply replacing the harness. Removing thermostats is just an unfortunate attempt to resolve or prevent an overheating condition. If they really had the proper technical education, they won't. Just because we know that 20w50 is not the master oil for all cars or thermostat removal is a sin does not make us gods and them demons. How many of us can do the really dirty work? Like removing an engine with nothing but your spanners and your physical muscle. Oyinbo will use a crane while sipping his morning coffee. How many of us can try changing the head gasket of an 8 cylinder engine at noon in the open sun whilst changing oil on a celica, removing the rear struts of a pick up, 'flying' a bike to ladipo market to buy a transmission and still attending to a new Nairaland customer who wants to lecture on why abro atf is not an atf. The day your fake brake pad decides to give way on lagos to Benin road, you will thank God we still have kazeems. Let's honour them for being there and work on creating sensitization on modern technical practices. I respect my kazeem. 43 Likes 6 Shares |

There is a leak. Vapour or fluid escapes. Possible points are worn radiator caps, hoses, joints, radiator fins and gaskets. The whole system must be sealed and leak proof 1 Like |

Whizpeter:A lot of good came from him. He was the African fly that kept buzzing in the ears of the western masters. He gave them valid sleepless nights and was financially independent. It is unfortunate that propaganda and the West media fanned embers against him. He has gone but Libya is still in chaos. He should be regarded as one of the best African heroes ever...on the same list as jaja of opobo, Nelson Mandela and chaka of zulu. The average libyan had a higher social standard of living than the average American when he was around. This car would have sold for dirt cheap in Libya if it was manufactured when he was alive. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Engine removed to fix clutch plate. Exhaust rusts were noticed. We tried getting a new exhaust but couldn't. Someone had in akilo street, ogba but was told he had travelled back to the east. We resorted to repairing the old exhaust
