Come on.

Vikings?

How many centuries ago and what were the spoils?

Just as Bini fought invaders?

Im jst trying to say for one to develop he. she needs to look unto foreign land and create a balance.

Commentor:
Oh come off it.

Who did Singapore invade?

Who did Norway invade?

As regards Norway and Iceland Please read the Vikings chronicle and check flocky or you can even watch the film Vikings

Commentor:
Oh come off it.

Who did Singapore invade?

Who did Norway invade?

Please, who Built Singapore? and Norway? remind us again? even Hong Kong
Go and read History, Singapore was built by the British and in 1914, was invaded by Japanese!

UncleJudax:
Yep. Now we are supposed to take ideas (aka materials) from them and build...but have refused.

It's all about leadership though(like he alluded to)...which we happen to be very bad at.

Bro everyone is different, all that we have today as development one way or the other was taken from them in the past 40 years, take it or leave it.Even the so-called leadership is copied from them, or you forget we operate the same system as the US when it comes to politics? even though we do not follow through.

overlord77:
Dude STFU, you are purely speaking from an unexposed perspective. If only you had the opportunity, you would have jumped ship way back.
You speak of natural disasters, don't they recover days after that? We that have none, are all our infrastructure not in a huge pile of mess.

I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion

U 4 understand say some people get 10-year ban and have resulted to this personal vendetta against the west 4 no reason, dem plenty here!

Commentor:
As they did in Japan right?

Oh ok they aren't "white" but they sure are advanced.

Go and read the History of Japan and where they evaded!The advancement of mankind has always been on the exploration of faraway places, FYI it is happening in space right now!

conductor250:
Eyaa. E pain am. Find me one list (even the one written by you right now) where Mercedes is in the top 3.

These are real people who buy cars tear leather, not iTunes card yahoo criminals that save N1.5m for secondhand C300 and come online to shout Benz4nothing

ANother tortise Car Owner,
So na this small statement make you BOIL like dis write full paragraph
E pain U reach so!

sorextee:
Theres nothing in a white mans land. Let's stay here and build our economy.

Nah this kind reasoning kill Africa, and you are part of it,
When the white man wanted to build their own land they came to the Black man land to collect materials!
Get sense.

conductor250:
It's no surprise anyone would look at the 16 others who are way ahead before having time to look at your plastic-looking overpriced toy cars at number 17.

Lubish list

seanfer:
It’s not common here in Nigeria. It’s used for racing. Try and search for it on YouTube.

Nah I think I have heardof it

seanfer:
Yes. Search for 2009 Honda Civic Sport

day car nah fire lol E go fire nor be small

seanfer:
Some i4 engines comes with 8 plugs. E.g Honda Civic sports. Some Mercedes has 2 plugs per cylinder. V6 stands for 6 cylinders and I4 is 4 cylinders. Most people mistake this.

blackboy:
I am told it is not in the market. Used several others C6 K4 etc car started but gear not selecting and car not performing normal.

In Abuja no show unless its sitting in a shop I dont know.

Thank you

Everything is sold, it just involve deep pocket, what you need do is search abroad, don't you have anyone in the US? they can buy it off eBay etc
I did that with eh Mrs Car and it was plug n play!

Hausaman:
That a certain Tribe has specifically choosen to be the Criminals of Jewish race is a fact.
To them wealth is the utopia of life, if I no get money for this life, wetin I gain crew. Life is too short to live it on someone sweat. These developers are just too dangerous to be called Nigerians, let's give them Biafra, so that we can keep our peace.

you need to join NCAN group to know what group belong to what crime,cos from ur statement you are a learner,

Bizzyliss:
very ignorant and nor willing to learn

I'm sure he is one of them 504 abusers
if not tell me how you are going to change OIL of 30K 6 monthly

MobilityExpress:
Smh! Is it not common sense that moving metal parts will deteriorate faster when used frequently than when used ocassionally? Hence, it's a no-brainer that a car with start-stop technology has to have reinforced kickstarters otherwise the kickstarters will damage quicker with too frequent use. And not just the kickstarter alone, even the engine is at risk. An engine that stops and starts too frequently is at risk of higher wear and tear than the regular engine. No matter how good the engine oil is, grinding occurs, and synthetic oil can only minimize the effect to a minimal level, but it can not eliminate it completely. So even the engine bearings of a car equipped with stop-start tech etc are reinforced. And you might discredit wikipedia, understandable, but can you discredit "Haynes"?

www.haynes.com/en-gb/tips-tutorials/stop-start-technology-explained

Why bother yourself? all those sites are sites of people seeking relivrance, non of them manufacture car, this is like \\\\\kwikfit telling you to change your tyres yearly, not until the BMWs, Land rovers and Gm says so, all other talks are trash, but like i said let us not derail this thread, lets leave it as it is, if U want to continue on tis convo please creat another thread!

Mrford:
So you are among those that use their oil for one year? So because its synthetic you will use it forever. Nigerians and abuse are 5&6

You are one of the ignorant Nigerians!

Richdad50:


Studying engineering in any Nigeria higher institutions remains one of the biggest scam to date. You are drilled on engineering principles long outdated, retired, and used only for reference purposes.

Richdad

I do not agree, it depends on the mindset you have,

MobilityExpress:
Your starter might look like the normal one, as in appearance wise, but the difference is in the metallurgical build and components design. It is stronger and more durable by factory-build than the normal type. But some starters look different.

Anybody can say what you are saying, I asked for a link backing your statement until you do that we will assume you dont know what you are talking about!I really don't deal Wikipedia but we will leave it at that!

MisterKings:
6 plug engine is it same as the ones they call V6?
and
4 plug engine V4?

I like to laugh but I will resist, there is nothing like V4, rather i4 like the guy above me says, and there is a V6 and i6, the engine formation is what determines if its V or i

MobilityExpress:
The cars with stop and start technology (which i referred to as the modern fuel system) use reinforced kickstarters that are built to be able to withstand frequent shutting off and restarts of the engine by the stop and start system.

Great. I have looked underneath mine, can't find anything like that, can you share a link to this statement?

paix:
We're on the same page. If you read my earlier post on the subject matter, you would have seen that I made mention of the JEEP cars.
CHEROKEE
WRANGLER
COMPASS
GLADIATOR
RENEGADE.
Please check to confirm.
I know the difference between the SUV and the JEEP.

MobilityExpress:
Regularly turning off a car in short periods and turning it on back again will kill or damage your kickstarter faster than normal. If the waiting period is short, like a traffic light that goes green again maybe within 3 minutes or under, then there's no point turning off your car. But if the waiting period is long like 7 minutes and above, you can turn it off if you want. For the average vehicle in average shape, turning off your engine makes a difference in fuel consumption over long periods, that is saves fuel, but over short period of time it is a futile act because the fuel you saved by turning off the engine will be used to start it. But if your car is equipped with some modern fuel systems tech, you don't ever need to turn of your engine, as your engine will go to sleep mode by itself when it doesn't detect throttle movement over a certain amount of time (some 3 minutes etc) and then reactivate automatically by itself once you engage the throttle.

SO what say you with the stop and start technology in newer mech and Audis?

paix:
Point taken. So what is JEEP? I am here to learn, forgive my ignorance.

A brand of car, just like Toyota, Nisan and Landrover,Few people refer to every SUV as a Jeep,

paix:
How can we have ONE ignorant NIGERIANS?

focus on the message rather than the spelling, when your knowledge is limited to the fact we have a car brand called JEEP!

Mrford:
When you service your car depends on the type of oil you use and the the mileage you have covered. If you are using synthetic oil (the likes of mobile 1, duramax, hardex etc) recommended by the manufacturer. You service your car every 6000 to 7000km or every six months which ever one that comes first. If you use the normal non synthetic oil (the likes of mobile, total, sinopec, etc) you service every 3000km or 3months which ever one that comes first. Most Nigerians don't use the right oil for their car but it will be less evil if you change more frequently. Always use manufacturers recommended oil type. It might be more expensive but it pays in a long run.

No full synthetic oil is designated to be changed every 6 months, unless that is fake cos the 5 ltr of that oil will weigh your pocket down

Bizzyliss:
oga depends on d engine oil he is using, if its mobil 1 full synthetic American standard u can drive for 10k miles but if na oil 3k na the engine don carry sludge be that

, Nah that type we dey call Unbranded

Exponental:
I disagree. I know someone who used a car for 6yrs. He travels alot with it. Lagos to Kogi, he gets it serviced. I cant remember though, as an Engr, he had a distance he covers that deserves servicing. To n fro..... When he sold the car, the buyer said the engine was tokunbo.

The only way this is possible is if your car is for business.and car service as regards change of parts is by mileage.If he covers 3k miles plus then yes, you can change ur Engine Oils.The best bet to go by is ur Oficial manufacturer's page,Now here is a twist if your car is modern tyou can use up to 5Kmiles and your car says you should use full synthetic Oil your car go as far as 15K miles before a change

Kollymarshall:
Like how often or how long should one service or change the engine oil of one's car?

your car manufacturer has it written in your service book, if not google their website, it's free of charge!

topsamjo:
3 months shld be good.

Seriously, what are you looking at in 3 months?

deleyi20:
Hmmm, you’re getting it twisted.

Nothing has to be wrong with your car before you service it.


Comprehensive servicing includes but not limited to

Engine Oil change
Oil filter change
Air filter change
Checking and Topping up all the fluids in the car to appropriate level
Checking the brake pads and replacing them if worn-out beyond recommended percentage
All other sorts of mechanical, electrical or physical inspections carried out.


Do these every 10,000km 6 months and you stand a chance of keeping your car in good shape.

This is the maintenance culture we lack in Naija.

This is what most of our American, Australian and European car owners do regularly hence we can buy their used cars

No body I repeat nobody in America or Europe service their cars every 6 months! your MOT/SMOG test is yearly, so where did you get this from?
