odimbannamdi:
I am the direct owner so all provided information below are first-hand and correct.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XDtKFM7wGU

VIN: 5FNYF18535B026608
- Vehicle was well-maintained and now being sold due to upgrade
- Engine is in excellent condition. Car literally jumps with a little press of the accelerator. You can go from 40km/hr to over 100 km/hr in seconds! You will feel the jerk as the car picks race...lol
- Drives very well and noiselessly
- Good shocks and suspension
- First body
- Good leather interior with excellent sound system
- Chilling AC with auto climate control feature that regulates the chilled air in line with external temperature so the AC works less when external temperature is cool and works more at peak sunlight.
- Amazing fuel economy (for context, 10k fuel can take you from Mowe to Lagos Island Maternity at least twice)
- Very spacious, with 3-rows of seats. 2nd and 3rd row seats can be completely flattened. If you do occasional haulage or have a large family, you should consider this
- 3 keys available

Location: Mowe
Price: 2.2m (negotiable)

Car looks OK, what and what needs repairs after buying?

If you don't see any oil spillage on the pipe or condenser.
Most likely it would be your evaporator or compressor oil seal.

what if I see oil spillage on the pipe or condenser? what then?

Subject: Issues with My Car - Need Diagnosis and Repair

Car Type: 2007 Toyota Camry, 4 Plug Engine

I am reaching out regarding some concerning issues I've been experiencing with my car recently. I believe there may be multiple underlying problems contributing to its current state, and I would greatly appreciate your expertise in diagnosing and addressing these issues.

Here are the symptoms I've observed:

Reduced Coolant: The coolant seems to be drying off as I constantly need to refill and there is no visible leak

White Smoke: White smoke comes out of the exhaust

After driving for some time, the coolant in the reservoir tank starts to 'boil' and pour out, I am aware that is due to air entering the coolant

I bringing this here because the first mechanic I called adviced to change the Engine Gasket which required me to re-surface the engine, the Gasket was changed but the issue still persists

The second mechanic I got was quoting 300,000 for me (almost the cost of a new engine)

Given these symptoms, I understand that pinpointing the exact cause of the issues may require a comprehensive inspection and diagnostic process. However, can someone here point me in the right direction on where I need to focus on?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

If you are in Abuja, connect with kingreign and thank me later

Car Talk / Re: Is Honda Accord 2008 A Good Car For Uber/bolt? by dicksonadams(m): 3:53pm On Apr 04
lillyontop:
Based on my own if you are getting on hire purchase It going to be a no no for me, but If you are buying outrightly for the car and the car is going to be yours personally why not... I have seen people using grade cars for Uber like Benz, highlander and other luxury cars just a way to make ends meet...
Come to think of the Uber Corolla and the Honda Accord 2008 parts are almost same thing when it comes to purchase but the Corolla is more rugged anyday any time and if you feel like standing out and it's not like you are making payment to anybody, you are free to go for it as long it's an i4

they play, you don use evil for Uber before? v6 for that
matter. not advisable bro

Yea. It's consumption is good. And it doesn't really give problems. I've used it since 2020, same clean engine sound. I love it too. But why do you want to get two of the same car? If it's the same color, people may not even know when you change to drive the other one.

what issue have you had since you started using it.

Between Honda Civic, Peugeot 406 and Toyota Corolla which is a better option?
Corolla is more reliable. Honda is also reliable but perhaps with a little more maintenance and care needed. I don't know much about peugeot. I have only owned both the Corolla and the civic

Yes o. Let him rebuild his engine. I did mine the first time, the mechanic is not a specialist at all within 6months old keep drying oil up like no man business. Expensive fully synthetic oil for that matter. (he even advised me to use another oil and see) I went to a different mechanic to rebuid the engine. After driving for like 5months with 5,000 mileage. I changed the oil, still very much intact
please help with the mechanic number, someone needs his service grin
Technology Market / Re: Original Used And New Solar Panels At Unbeatable Prices by dicksonadams(m): 5:55pm On Feb 09
Trippledots:
Hi everyone, good morning.

Those used panels are still available Incase anyone is interested.

However there is a deal that just came to my notice from the same place I got some earlier cracked panels from. But these are non-cracked, decommissioned, tier 1 panels. They were decommissioned due to upgrade of panels to higher watts.

It's *#141/watt* between 300w and 395w capacities are available.

They are most likely mono panels, but I can't confirm that.

The deadline is the 17th of this month. If interested, DM me sharply.

Cheers.

Car Talk / Re: Demystifying CNG in Automobiles by dicksonadams(m): 7:51am On Jan 26
GAZZUZZ:


The pics you have up there are for LPG systems, not CNG . I had same issues when I wanted to convert my sienna . I didn't want to touch the space in the rear that enabled me to flatten the rear seats. So I opted for a 55L water capacity cylinder in-between driver and passenger seat. I will still expand my system with smaller 25L tanks under the vehicle as there are pockets of unused space waiting to be used.
some fearful folks might be scared that an explosion would take out both driver and passenger, since the cylinder is right between them. some would still prefer to opt for the rear or boot
