double0seven: Please why do you say a Naija used civic isn't advisable. I'm considering one at the moment, a 2005 Honda civic, & also 2005/6 Honda city. In the words of gazzuzz, "it doesn't age gratefully" meaning as it gets older u might have to visit an auto repair shop frequently. |

sisqology: Hi Gazzuzz,
Please recommend a car (Naija used - max 1m) to buy for my fiance. (You will inspect )
I am thinking of the options
-- She likes fine interior -- She likes a car that isnt too wide. So, she said NO to DC
Please kindly recommend any good and well maintainable product boss
1. Kia Cerato 2. Honda Discussion Continue 3. Honda Civic 4. others are welcome Naija used Kia and civic ain't advisable, since ur budget can't get u a toks civic then I suggest u settle for a naija used yaris, with 1m I'm confident u would get a value for ur money. But u mentioned she likes fine interior which a yaris doesn't have. So I'm thinking a corolla, interioir is moderate, can't be compared to a Honda of same grade though. Also u might have to step ur budget up a Lil for a clean and well maintained corolla(03-06) |

ahckmedkosy: I assume by "Check all evaporative emmision vacuum lines" you mean servicing of exhaust/ nozzles? Thanks Nope...he implied there's a fuel air mix before getting to the iginition chamber. In order words there's air getting into ur fuel system. Ensure the fuel cap is properly tightened,if thats not the case,then inspect seal on fuel cap for degradation. If that isn't the problem too,then u might hv to visit an auto shop. Very time consuming to detect the source of evap code though |

Pls whats the culprit First and foremost avoid driving the car till u fix the source of missfire, to avoid damaging ur cat converter. Lots of issues can cause the misfire, starting frm as little as a bad spark plug to as much as a bad ignition coil. A proper diagnosis wld pin point the culprit. |

Romance › Re: Why Is It That Women In Their 30s Claim No Sex Till Marriage? by double3(m): 11:32am On Apr 14, 2019 |
franchasng: Any single lady that wants to marry a great and wonderful man who wouldn't give her issues in future should stop giving men rules and regulations to follow to be her boyfriend, it doesn't work, you will only end up being with pretending men with abominable attitude and sinister motives.
Be free, don't let society determine who you will be, even though you are 30+ years and unmarried, its not the end of the world unless you are very sure you caused your spinsterhood through your bad character and immoral lifestyle of past, if not, live your life like a teenager, always be happy, stop being moody, too upright, too rigid, too commanding, too autocratic and too serious with life, free yourself up as a lady no matter your age, don't let your age define your life or destiny, age is just a number for real it is. If you are a successful lady with respect and friendly character, your age is nothing to amazing/mature guys.
If you meet a good guy you click with and he clicks with you too, let the natural attraction/desire happen, don't use rules and laws that you will still break at one point to chase a great guy who maybe your Prince Charming away.
Majority of men of our time hate rigid ladies who live by laws, rules, restrictions, as if life is an exploration mission you must achieve with a map.
Yes there are still archaic guys who crave and die for ladies that give rules, laws, restriction and live uptight life but there are not many of such guys today, those archaic/religious extremists guys are few who believe a wife material must hate sex, in fact she must never hear anything sex, must cover all her body, walk holily and talk holily too.
But majority of today guys have a different perspective of who a perfect wifey or partner should be, she should:
1.) Be financially independent 2.) Happy and friendly 3.) Respectful 4.) Career or business focused 5.) Love kids 6.) Respect and love her male siblings and relatives 7.) Must not know everything (men hate ladies that act like they are too wise) 8.) Must be good listener 9.) Must not be a talkative and must not be a Dundee that can't contribute meaningfully in a healthy conversation 10.) Must not be a 21st century type of feminist (both white and black and Asian men hate the characters of our modern feminists women )
The list might look long but they are simple to imbibe. A virtuous woman is a virtuous woman, whether she has sex with you or not, it won't take that away from her.
Whether you withhold sex or not, a guy that will marry you will marry you.
Not allowing a guy who genuinely loves you and treats you right after a long time can kill his passion and love for you, forget those nonsense talk that a man that truly loves you won't leave you because of sex, in fact, most ladies lost their true lovers because they refused to allow sex....
I am a guy, I have lots of married and single male friends, we discuss manly, I know why my close friends married the ladies they married and why they left the ladies they wanted to marry initially, so when I talk listen.
Though I am not advising ladies to go about sharing sex to any guy that comes their way, no pls, but apply wisdom, if you are honest to yourself as a lady, u will know a guy that truly cares for you unless you are a fake lady or the type that are saddist, always unhappy and too serious and uptight with life, then u need special prayer and deliverance. Nuthang more to be said, uve said it all |

Greetings gurus in the house, so I took my car for an oil/filter change today only to discover my mech poured the entire 5quarts mobil 1 into the engine rather than toyota recommended 4.4quartz. I know it's a bad idea to have excess oil in an engine, but is the extra 0.6qt significant to cause damage?? Car is an 09 corolla, 2zr-fe and factory recommended oil refill capacity with filter replacement is 4.4qtz. |

THOP: Oga Gazzuzz, someone is selling a 2004 corolla but he said the gear delays for seconds and picks right away. Hearing this issue I didn't want to go for it again but he said it's not a big deal because his mechanic had already told him that it just a filter issue. He told me he has been using the gear for over a year with no issues. What's your advise concerning the gear? Is it a minor issue that can be solved? Abi I should run ? If it's "just a filter issue" request he fixes the so called minor issue before u buy. In my opinion I think he's about to hand over a babby snake to u. |

What can I do? I am considering returning it to operate as a cold engine. Is this advisable? Thanks in anticipation.

Greatwhales: 2007 an old car, even in developed countries cars of previous years are still on the road. I guess the issue is getting genuine parts. Thanks anyway Do u drive on empty tank most of the time?;if yes that could be a probable cause. Ensure ur tank it never below half mark on ur gauage and see if there's an improvement. |
