@ ikenna
Nice explanation on speed ratings.
But
Is a tire's speed rating of any importance to us? Where in this country can a sane driver move beyound 190km/hr for more than 2 munites?

In addition to d hieght, also adjust it to have very good leg space to drive comfortably. U can drive for many years without cramps, if always well seated.
But U DINT STATE if its auto or manual trans.

nikkyshyne: I think I will adjust my seat height. I think it is pretty low. Thanks lomomike that's a nice 1.

If its strictly for taxi services, go for golf II, you will never regret it. Its parts are everywhere amazinly cheap and the repairs and mentainance can be done even by roadside mechanics. The fuel economy is very good and similar to micra. Try and get 1.6 liter engines . Its your best bet in terms of space, strength, and appearance. For electrical issues, mobbdeep is on point, but no car is perfect, its up to d owner.
I have a golf i use mostly for long journeys, but its mk3, so i speak from esperience
BTW, an important factor to also consider is the condition of roads in your state! Up north, cos of better roads, golf 2 and 3 are the popular choice.

This is nonsensible
Where are the cells, chipss
Audioware and battery??,

SPEEDY RECOVERY MR. PRESIDENT!

Senseless thieves.

itsmayiela: Oga Siena,
Could you kindly do a check on this my car for me? U once gave me some details about it but I just can't find it again on NLand. It's a Golf 3 with the following details:
Engine no: ADZ31666Z
chassis no: WVWZZZ1HZTW116514

I tried to run a VIN check on it but it seems not to be returning much details. I want to know the actual engine size and the component of the engine and yr of manufacture. I have used the car for about 10 months now and no major issues.

Your Volkswagen Golf III is a 1,8 CL 75 hp, with SPI (Single Point Injection).

Op, is it normal for break pads to get extremly hot, after a long fast drive??

Siena: The correct coolant for the Volkswagen Golf lll is the coolant recommended by Volkswagen.

And that is G12 or G12+.

thanks siena
i hope to find it in my search.

Any ideas?

Hmmmm, this is horrific, imagin cruising a car that is the topchoice of carthieves! Wahala dey o.
Are you very sure about the steering/pedal lock masterkey?? Unfortunately thats the final/topmost line of defence for many of us

Read the car's owner manual for your coolant type/colour. For other answers,
The answer is below

Originalsly: I learned from this forum that all coolant is not the same ...I thought the only difference was colour. Some come altready mix and some need to be diluted with water. Some people use water only and the car seems to work well except that the radiator need to be topped up more often. I am thinking water may have rust and do cause rust...gets hot pretty quickly, will generate steam , expand and increase pressure in the cooling system... can this result in damage to the engine or affect performance of the car? ... or is it using water only will simply cause you to refill the radiator more often?

Op, being impatient on wheels doesnt make u a better driver either!
A big 'W' sign wouldnt change anything also
Tell us how women drivers are different in your visit to other countries.
the major aspect women worldwide find very difficult is when reversing with a car.

For naija used car, only buy from a registered auto dealer, with his complete reciepts acting as transfer of ownership too. I say this because vertually all car documents can be easily faked and be undetected. Just do this to safeguard urself and hope hope for d best.
But if u r buying from individual known to youl , u both should take the car to vio inspection centre before any further dealings.

Thanks all for your comments

I eventually got help. I left my key locked-in allnight, but very early in the morning a panelbeater came to do a ten munites job, got the car opened and luckily my battery was till perfect, despite having d radio on, allnight.
Its a big relieve.

I am hundreds of miles away from home, about to roundup and return on a journey of 8hrs early next morning by 7am.
My keys mistakenly locked inside my car,(2004accord>its radio is on but very low volume, its 8pm and no help in sight. What do i do? I ponder on two options......
1. Get panelbeaters by 8am to hack the door(risk drianing my battrry and leaving late too) or
2. Break the smallest glass window of the car and gain access?

Option 1 is most likely now as time is fast running out, but if u find urself in same condition,, what will your do??

Get high! As long as u want. long as u survive. Afterall, life is too short.

Nigeria has also made huge gains in the world rankings, climbing 35 places in the last decade to come in at 38th place. South Africa came in at 33rd place this year.

Ramkhelawan-Bhana says Nigeria already has a gigantic market thanks to its 164 million residents, and with growth in sectors like technology and agriculture, Nigeria is diversifying away from its historic dependence on oil.

That growth is likely to be bolstered further when Nigeria rebases its Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, by the end of the year.
