Prevention they say is better than cure.
Anything can happen. Remember it's an automobile.

Alright, so I guess ur preparing for the worst case scenario.....God's speed on ur trip!!

All I see is a hole dug beneath the soil, how u do trap the biogas for use,how do u get rid of the digestate product of breakdown?.
Down to the chemistry, would there be enough food waste from kitchen sink that can be broken down into gas(can't remember when last I flushed food waste down my kitchen sink, it's mostly soapy water from washing of plates)
Which then leads to the final question what are the effects of detergents and other chemicals flushed into the kitchen sink on the bacteria needed for breakdown.

Using the concrete poker to ensure that all concrete is vibrated into the beams, this helps to eliminate air pockets.

From observations u cast the beams before the slab,any advantageous reason or is that the standard.?

I've run my Rx 300 engine with 20w50 lubricant for 4 years now(from Toks). I can feel sludge from the engine. Can I still revert to the factory 5w20/30. Kindly advise

Stick with ur w50....

I have a tokunbo Toyota camry 03 that I just started using. Everything is going on smoothly with it. Over the weekend I notice the picture below on the dashboard after washing the car.

What could this mean and what can I do to make it dissappear. Thanks

Its a malfunction indicator warning light, meaning ur car has detected some faults that requires attention. You would need to scan post codes and help would come ur way...in another news I don't buy the idea of washing engine, a simple clean with soap, water and rag would suffice.

uboma:
Hehehehe.

You weren't ready for the road trip but opened a thread about it.

Whichever means you choose to travel, do have a safe trip.

A 12 hrs trip with spare fuel pump,spark plugs and 2 etrxa tire speaks volume of the car.
OP if u ain't certain about the condition of ur car u might wanto start by embarking on shorter trips say 2-3hrs observe the performance and know what u might need to fix before embarking on longer distance.

Definitely 9....keeps it old school with a lil modern-day flavor

spyder880:
I will be back to this question later, thanks.

Very interested in this response as well, cos I've thought about it several times.

spyder880:
Chat me up, I will send you a number.. I dont know if the official will like his number online.

Thanks boss, would do just that.

Been following ur post for quite a while and I must commend the Good job, more feathers to ur cap... please can u point me in the right direction the process involved in getting a building plan registered with relevant authorities. The site in question is in enugu (close to lomainda estate), I've been to ECDA(capital development) office at the new state secretariat but they seem lackadaisical toward guiding me tru the process.(typical behaviour of civil servants).
I would appreciate if I could get a reliable contact or a tip or two from u.
I would kick start the project next year Jan and wouldn't want obstruction from these guys.

goodday nairalanders.
am a young boy looking for a place to stay around Lagos.
I want to leave my comfort zone,and go tried something out there.
I know it'll be hard for a stranger to accept or allowed me to stay with you.
but am a promising that a trial will convinced you.
kindly help me out with squatting with you.
I will really appreciate if there is anybody that will accept me .
Thanks!.

This is 2020...consider feeding and daily transportation costs so u don't get frustrated into crime n social vices; I'm of th opinion u can make it anywhere all u need is determination. If u need to expand then u can move to lagos,migrating now without a place to stay would be hell

Thanks.

Honda civic 03 to 05 is better than Honda civic 06 to 09.
If I get u

There were some factors u listed for consideration,I guess assumptions were based on all those factors.
With that in mind, then u can say the 03-05 model is better.

A mech i don't trust enough to handle a simple oil chnage without duping me has no business opening my bonnet in the first instance. We should try as much a possible to avoid dubious people in our dealings. But the question now is; how do we know dubious minds

The did has been done, when next u wanto purchase electronic form Alaba be more vigilant, we have great guys like aucon and online Alaba on this forum to meet ur electronic needs. Tested and trusted to deliver what was paid for.

almost 90 percent of every one living in Nigeria i a fraudstar...Only the ones who do theirs on the internet are the black sheep...go to any state or goverment parastatals and see them park cars...how does a civil servant with salary of 60k with three children be able to afford a four runner

dont look at my face...your neighbor who knots tie and woks at access bank and not ripe for car loan...how did he build that 4 bedroom flat

go ask ask dino melaye how he got three g wagons and feraris....

dont look at my face...look at yourself...you say u sell items,you know price is 6 k...you inflate it to 15 k and defraud unsuspecting buyer u say u are legit...

ogun kill all of us.

So does that justify crime??

Just go and study medicine so that you can be treating yourself.

Have u ever asked ursef why people climb mount everest....some people love taking up challenge.
As we speak I just tore down my generator engine, it cost more(time and finance) doing it myself cos I had to buy some tools which I don't have; its not about the cost but the idea of challenging one's self and the fulfilment that comes with achieving a goal.

07 Camry

Not possible unless naija used.....04-07 corolla toks is he's best bet.

andrewbaba44:
Please someone should give me an idea on how much I can get a first grade naija used Toyota muscle 2008/2008 model

Thank you

To be honest the price depends on th state of th vehicle and seller's desperation. With that said, all things being equal first grade goes for 1.65-1.7 million.

adanny01:
So, once again, I have made series of trials yesterday and have arrived at a conclusion.

First, I sanded the last paint with soft sandpaper. I was able to experience the difference between wet and dry sanding. I must confess, as small as the part was, sanding took some time and effort to even out. So, I can only imagine how stressful it would be to sand an entire car.

Secondly, I bought the paint in same quantity but with more thinner. I proceeded to paint the base coat.

The result of this stage was a cause for concern. I wasn't satisfied with the base coat again like last time. I added more thinner, did another coat and the result became poorer.

I proceeded to buy more thinner, washed the new coats of paint. The thinner even washed other previous coats and left an uneven surface. I did another round of sanding, bought and sprayed another coat of base coat. This time, it was presentable but not of the quality I was looking towards.

At the end, I sprayed the clear coat which came out very good.

In conclusion of the trial session, the problem experienced is spraying the base coat. The clear coat comes out neat and smooth devoid of orange peel. The base coat is not smooth at all no matter the amount of thinner applied.

The final resolution arrived at is that, I have no issue with clear coat but have serious issues with base coat. The clear coat being thicker. The main reason for such a result though is the nozzle size. I did mention before the trial that recommended nozzle size is 1.3-1.5mm. My spray gun has only one nozzle of 2.5mm which is quite large to give a good result especially with the base coat. Until I am able to find an appropriate sized nozzle, am afraid I won't get a good result.

Been following this thread for quite some time and I'm loving ur DIY Spirit cos we share similar traits but for real I don't think painting an entire vehicle is an easy DIY task,if it were just the bumper or fender I'll give my full support but doing a full body spray job; I'll advice u leave it to the experts.

osmeka:
Hello house, please i just got a Tokunbo Acura RDX and i noticed that the temperature is stationary, has always been on the lowest point. Please is this how it works on this vehicle? Or could there be an issue with the temperature switch or gauge? See attached picture

Connect an OBD scanner, confirm the temperature reading and get back.

GreatSage:
Good day all, please what can you say about 2008 Chevrolet Equinox (Chevy) considering our roads, fuel economy, engine health and peculiar problems?

I'll be more concerned about part availability and technical know-how how if there's need for a repair.

mimicue:
Hi all

After washing my Toyota Matrix engine , the check engine light came on
Though car drives perfectly. It’s just the stable check engine light . Please who knows what I can do

First step is to scan ur ECU for error code. Why do people still wash there engine BTW....
Cleaning with rag and solvent it the way to go, resist the urge to steam wash ur engine.

Godtemi:
I just bought a Hyundai Santa Fe jeep
Please guru, how much is cost to change oil fliter?

The day I bought it, it was ok, but after I told my mechanic to changes the oil, ever since then my oil had been leaking.

So I called him today, and he said 3k to change the oil filter .

Secondly, he advised me to raise the jeep, that is too low, after which I did, and I just discovered that the car started making nosie. And when I took it to his place again, he said the left side spring broke and it will cost me 5k

He adviced me to by tokunbo tyre also, which he said 15k each.
