Car TalkRe: TOYOTA RAV4 Help! by doroboss(m): 11:49am On Dec 07, 2014
full story. notice the date.
Chris Mar 10, 2010
Yesterday driving home the transmission went out on my '02 Rav4. I lost the Drive gears and made it home in Low 2nd. Went online and discovered it is a common problem with 2001-03 Rav4s and is actually caused by a bad ECM (Engine Control Module). I called the dealership in the morning and they said it would be nearly $5,000 to replace the ECM and transmission. This is really bad for a Toyota with only 72,000 miles.
Found out later that I'm covered by a 'Federal Emissions Warranty' mandated by the government. Called Toyota back and low and behold yes, I am covered after all, but only for the ECM and not the transmission. How ridiculous is that? You don't know you have a bad ECM until the transmission goes. I also found online that Toyota will not replace the ECM unless you're having transmission issues. By then it's too late to save the transmission.
I took it to my own mechanic and am waiting for his findings and costs. In other posts, seemingly knowledgeable mechanics wrote that an entire transmission is not necessary, that it probably only requires replacement of main gears and/or the Direct Clutch.http://m.topix.com/forum/autos/toyota/TGGE7144BGETEBJ2E

Your story is untrue, they make over 1,000 naira a day, and they are found in most area that have rocks, especially where construction work just finished, so there are lots of smaller rocks to break down.

Kaduna, plateau have a lot of them. Life is hard but not as hard as you want us to believe.

But on a more realistic note sundays seem to be the only days when couples have adequate time to properly do it, every other day is just to fulfil minimal requirments so it does not seem there's no action.

PoliticsIs It Safe For Students To Gather In Hundreds In Jamb Offices In The North? by doroboss(op): 9:05pm On Nov 16, 2014
Currently Jamb utme 2015 is in progress across nigeria and will continue till febuary 2015 unfortunately because of the restrictions on registeration, students have to travell from far and wide and converge in jamb offices to register som times you meet over 200 students gathered in their office. My question is this, with all the suicide bombers on the loose with dinamites blowing them selves up is it wise to allow students gather like thisin the north? They could become targets for boko haram. Just my thought. https://www.nairaland.com/2000294/fresh-bomb-blast-bauchi
CrimeA Disservice To The Nigerian Student By JAMB by doroboss(op): 4:02am On Nov 14, 2014
The body set up by the nigerian education system for entry into higher institutions of learning is joint admission and matriculation board (JAMB) I remember in 1999 when I first applied for the exam, I had to go to ikoyi, join a long que, it seemed all the students in lagos were in jamb office, we collected forms, filled, joined another long que for submission, even collection results was the same hastle thousands of students strugling to get results.

That has become a thing of the past with the newly introduced "ONLINE" registeration, a situation where at the comfort of your home a candidate can register for jamb after purchasing the required scratch card from a bank.

In 2011 JAMB introduced the BIOMETREIC verification of candidates for the UTME examination, a situation where tighter security measures were incooporated to eliminate impersonation of candidates, this measure had its advantages and also great dissadvantages, the inclusion of biometric verification meant candidates could no longer register the examination on their own and had to go to selected centers approved by jamb for the registeration of UTME.

In certain cities the aproved centers where over 1,000 e.g lagos in some states in the north there were over 200 e.g bauchi, so the students were able to register without much difficulty. The same thing happened in 2012,2013.

2014 JAMB decided to change its mode of operation and decided to make the exam a fully computer based exam, a sittuation where the exams would be written on computer only without the use of paper and pencil, but they also decided to dissengage the services of the nearly 10,000 registeration centers nation wide and decided to limit registeration to Their state offices, and selected computer based test centers CBT centers, this means states like lagos that previously had over 1000 centers now had (as at last check) 13 centers for registeration, bauchi that used to have over 100 now have 4 yobe state 2, borno state 2 and so on...... Check www.jamb.org.ng.
Presently students all over nigeria have gone back to the old days of queing in very long lines infront of jamb offices and cbt centers for the registeration of utme 2015 and also states especially in the north of nigeria have students travelling distances of 200-300 km for the registeration of an exam termed and ONLINE examination. In addition the cards sold in the bank have N4,500 clearly stated as the price for the card but every bank in nigeria sells the card at N5,000 when asked why it was sold over the stated price there is no resonable answer from the bank.

I belive the monopoly of JAMB as the only body responsible for entry into higher institutions of learning is what is causing this ugly trend, and I'm using this medium to let nigerians know what is happening, please spread the word until it gets to the proper authorities and online exam should be what it is "online".

Also on a more serious note, bringing large crowds of students to one place in any part of nigeria is presently a security risk, as they become targets for BOKO HARAM bombers who do not want people to go to school.

Please Ikenna351, Ngwakwe, OAM4J, Afam4eva, seun put this topic in its proper place.

Car TalkRe: Any Disadvantages For Rev A Car Up To 6000rpm Acceleration.... by doroboss(m): 7:24am On Nov 12, 2014
lomomike:
City, some folks think hitting the redlines equates to speed. The 3 SUVs I've own I've never redlined. I've done up to 180km/hr in them and their tacho still read 3000rpm for V6 and 3500rpm for the i4. The higher the RPM, the more you flood the engine with fuel, the more the engine suffers stress built up, the higher your O2 sensors, heater sensors, and catalytic converters get damaged, worst nightmare engine blow out.

I've helped a friend in company of his mechanic pick a Nissan Xterra V6 from Lagos And I was heading to Ondo. His mechanic was driving and flooring the pedal with recless abandon all in a bid to push the truck to high speed. I warned him he could get something damaged he laughed and said "oga, you sef dey fear, why oyinbo put big engine inside motor and I no go fire am? No be today I dey fire motor and nothing go do engine" I stopped at Ondo only for me to receive a call from my guy to rush come to Lampese, Edo. I went there and discovered that the engine had a catastrophic blowout. The piston tore through the banks crankshaft got twisted, oil and water spilled and the engine was wrecked and that was the end of journey. They had to push the truck to a filling station just after Lampese where they stayed for three days and another engine had to be installed to continue the Journey.
The engine was already faulty.
