I took my car for a computer diagnostic because I was worried about the check engine symbol that was on the dash board, secondly the Airbag was showing a fault since the light was on. Thirdly my car vibrates when I turn on it on, although not very pronounced. And the fourth reason was that when I am on a high speed and I apply breaks to stop, the car swerves or tries slipping to my right hand side unless I hold tight to the sterling. Apart from all these and perhaps the noise from the lower arms or stabilizing linkages when I drive on uneven surfaces, my car drives smoothly.

The Company, i was told is very good. Then I took Toyota Corrola 2007 there; they drove my car into workshop and after about 45 minutes, they brought an estimate and behold! what they quoted for me i still cannot understand.

I thought they will bring out errors codes or explain faults to me, but they just gave me this list of what I need to fix in the car. Am confused firstly because of the kind of report which is simply an estimate of parts to change, instead of showing me errors that need to be fixed.

Gurus in the house, am planning to go for another or better check to ascertain the actual errors or problems with the car.

Please help me relate the aforementioned problems viz a viz the estimate given to me by the company and advise approximately. Thanks

To be honest the o.ly item I found wanting o's numbers 7,8 and 9 . They are right with the rest . From what you described . That break n swerve is a control arm issue . I ja e expirienced this 4. .However if you can fix the bushing happy days . .wheel nearing change and O2 changes are good.ur car is 2007 . That's 11 years old . The O2 and bearing are due changes . .you need to do more fault finding on ur Airbag fault.

I noticed that my 2007 Passat suddenly started showing an ECP light followed by a blink of the engine warning light .Now the light is steady and won't go off. The car jerks too especially when on drive but stationary . Now the car gulps fuel like a thirsty laborer . Any fix for this? What could be the cause ?

And when Your energetic full of life PhD holder Jonathan ruled for six years, what did he achieve for Nigeria? He brought the country to her knees when he enthroned all form of looting. many of you are just so shameless to have easily forgotten where we were coming from. and not knowing that it takes more to rebuild what is damaged than, calls for worry.

We should stop talking of the past FG cos it's usually bitter to swallow the truth . Life was better b4 than now. Now I said life . The answer to this is people saying there was free money . My nxt question is usually so free money made life easier for Nigerians ? Let's stick to free monies plz.

Josh44s:
Nigerians mumu sha. You leave your comfortable home with your wife were you could have taken a matured and family picture with your kids, drive down to Eko city and sit on the floor like a beggar just to snap picture. Black man’s mindset differs from that of a white man in all ramification.

So the British and American s who pay mega buck to go take photos in the bushes of Tanzania and Uganda with Monkeys nah fool ? U see how mega stewpid you are ? Una go dey form ITK ontop post we weigh nothing more Tha poo .

Roger3D:
Buhari stays come next year, we will make sure of that and as for Saraki, you guys can go ahead and make him president of your Biafran republic when it comes

Speak 4 urself.cos if Saraki becomes the flag bearer for the PDP then Yoruba people will vote for him , the SS and SE and middle belt will also vote for him as they do not like PMB . Is that not back to Daura?

Drchristian:
Bukola Saraki, Atiku and these thieves paraded by PDP for presidency will not just let us rest again with their backstabbing campaigns.

Why do PDP politicians sees destroying Buhari as a stepping stone to become president?

What other choice do we have in Nigeria ? ?

The Nigerian Air Force has tracked and destroyed some Boko Haram vehicles as they were making plans to launch fresh attacks on ground troops locations at Gudumbali and Damasak in Borno.

Nigerian Air Force Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, who disclosed this in a statement on Saturday in Abuja, said that the operation was carried out in the early hours Saturday, The Punch Reports.

He explained that the mission was initiated following intelligence reports indicating that a convoy of BHT vehicles had been sighted within the Damasak – Gudumbali axis.

“Accordingly, a Nigerian Air Force Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance platform was dispatched to search for and locate the convoy of vehicles.

“The ISR aircraft spotted vehicles at a location 24 Km SW of Gudumbali heading in a northwards direction. Consequently, a helicopter gunship was scrambled to attack the convoy.

“The helicopter arrived the location and was vectored to the position of the vehicles, which, at the time, were about midway between Nigerian Army locations at Metele and Arege.

“Following communications with ground troops, the BHT vehicles were positively identified, isolated and attacked by the helicopter gunship in successive strikes.”

Daramola said that in the process, four of the vehicles were immobilized and their occupants neutralised.

“The ISR aircraft continued to track the remaining 5 vehicles, which initially dispersed but later regrouped and continued their retreat to Tumbun Rego.

“They were subsequently attacked at their harbour location by the freshly rearmed helicopter gunship; with 3 direct hits recorded on the vehicles,” he said.

He said that a follow-up attack on the newly discovered insurgents’ logistics base in Tumbun Rego was conducted by 2 Alpha Jet aircraft later in the morning.

“The makeshift buildings and other facilities in the base were accordingly destroyed in the air strike.”

The NAF spokesman said that the NAF, working in concert with surface forces, would sustain the momentum of operations with a view to destroying vestiges of the insurgents in the Lake Chad green fringes and other areas in Northern Borno.

and you're sure you read my post before rushing to quote it? Where did i mention global recession due to oil slump biko?

The U did not understand my question

There are loads of them, I am one of them,however there is no enabling environment to thrive,step to the west you are smiling, I left 9ja years ago and I have exhaled, even derv into fluid mechanics/Engineering.

Shukuakukobambi:
Do you need help to know we're talking about the country where Kemi was finance minster?

well you was mentioning global recession due to Oil slump!now you are limiting it to just Nigeria?

Shukuakukobambi:
I know you and your ilk were born only after Buhari defeated GEJ but actually, there was life before then and every Nigerian apart from idiots knew we were heading for a terrible time as far back as 2013 because of the falling oil prices. Even Ngozi Iwealla warned as far back as 2012!! because oil had reached it's peak $115/Barrel and those who had sense knew that it was going to start going down which it did to $26/Barrel in February 2016!!

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/138723-exclusive-okonjo-iweala-opens-up-says-nigeria-economy-in-danger.html

And under Aunty Ngo, we had even started sinking into the debts She and OBJ pulled us out from even with very high oil prices!!

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/nigeria-sinks-deeper-external-debt/

See thousands of Job loses that we experienced even in 2012

Now if you can think, you'll realize that the recession of 2015 - 2016 was inevitable because of the fall in oil prices and every adult who works knows that when your salary reduces, you face a cash crunch. If you're earning 115k and i reduce it to 26k, you'll probably commit suicide.

That's what happened to the Nigerian economy and the economy of every single oil producing/dependent country on planet Earth. Infact we should thank Kemi that we didn't become Venezuela.

This is a free lesson for which i won't charge you

erm are you saying the world recession was as a result of slum in Oil price? or are you speaking in specific about Nigeria??
