Peacefullife: Thanks everyone especially @ sultaan and Erico. You have been helpful from inception. The check engine light is still on although the codes have reduced in number. Will post the remaining codes tomorrow.

@spcoded: thanks so much. I usually fill my tank to the brim every two or three days. Just my own style. So probably I could have damaged the EVAP system as you suggested. Can it be removed and cleaned? What is the way forward?
Well that concept bout filling ur tank to its brim is of roadside mechanics,you have a fuel pump which send petrol at a specific presure,this situation was corrected from thecaburator system to the injector system, it one controled by cam shaft, the other ECU.The reason I sugest U do an Exhust check is cos when there is leaks it fools the O2 sensors to give reading of 2much oxygen, dunno if U get me.In theory you can decode physicaly if your O2 sensor is bad, it requires detailed test by a metre .

lungwun: Bro I never expressly stated I had any knowledge on conversion all I did was refer to the fact that I have had several cars converter for me. As I stated in the post I quoted below

To which Siena stepped in and put me right. All I said regarding the actual conversion of cars up to the point Siena corrected me was plain conjecture.

To even insinuate I'm lying is borderline ridiculous and insultive. What would be my motivation for lying?

The mind, baffles!

If you go over to this thread, you will see examples of 2 cars I have had converted and priced to sell.
https://www.nairaland.com/1407619/2003-european-honda-accord-sport

And this is another thread where i discussed about the merits of converting a weekend car in which Siena participated and gave his input
https://www.nairaland.com/1418746/rhd-audi-468-weekend-driver
Ok Im sorry, its out of order for me to call you a liar,this is not a true reflection of whom I am,I did not take into account we where on same page as regards switching the heater Box.I started this RHD to LHD convertion 2007 when I wanted seina to do my VW passat for me, I was the one advocating for this but after all them years is it worth it? especialy when me and you know the price of Auto trans in the EU is twice the price in the USA,I dont bother these days, I just buy from the USA.

Right in as much as I would have loved to, I cant as I live in England,however if you speak to the Auto Electricians in ur area they would be able to show you one with a hand held scanner that can come to your yard an scan it.what make and model have you got?Im talking bout your car here, and also get someone abroad to buy you a hand scanner, they are dead cheap.less that 10K

Ok Im present, well Im studying at my own space to become an Arch.I|m a graduate of Mech Engine but fell in love with buildings as I have seen various designs arround the world, now Im thinking of how to use these knowledge to facilitate a design in Nigeria.I got few things for us to find our own ways of doing,
Question, Why must we stick to same Old methods of Brick making for the last 200 yrs?
Question, WHy must we stick to same methods of roofing in the last 100 yrs
Question, why cant we include ground works inour plan rather just the building itself.
question Why can we make our own lil mechinary to facilitate our own progress
Question Why dont we cultivate the reusability of our waste raw materials,ie planks for decking etc.
I would like us to espantiate on these issue, its a start,anybody can add what needed discused.
We are learning.

Due to some reason beyond our control site work was suspended. Now am back thanks for your patience.

Project management implies that we reduce cost of work to the bearest minimum as possible we then decided to start with the 3bedroom flats first later after three weeks time I move to the duplex where after some building materials will be re-used especially the wooden planks

Progress of work so far;

1) Lintel concrete work completed
2) Block work to roof slab level completed
3) Slab formwork in progress

See attached pictures bellow;
Good Job,Im not a civil Engineer but a mechanical Engineer, I realy wished I studied Civil as I have to re learn now, Just went fru ur post till this stage, I have two structuaral advice and one labour advice here for you, might need to give you diagrams later, since you do this for living in use of planks to mould the lintern U could haved fixed ones made out of plywood an inch thick that you keep at ur storage, that way you can re use them again and again, that way you would save cost for your customer bringing down the over head by more than 200K.Next, have you thought of Angled bar arrangements in ur pillers instead of using the conventional 4 iron roads knitted together on a rectangular frame?

Change ur spark plugs for cylinder 3,4 and 5
service ur injectors,check ur exhust pipe for leakage if all thats ok, get new O2 sensors.

Nicholdave: Hi erico2k2,
Please is the Landrover Freelander in the photos here same as the one you say can be gotten right all the way at conversion? I'm almost fixated on this and need to decide quickly so as to beat the January 10 effective date of the new car importation duty & levy rates.

Yes its that one, as a matter of fact this is the only car you can convert at meaningfull cost from the Uk, it takes just a week to do and its a matter of switching, I even thinkg you dont need to switch the rack cos this one is that easy.But who ever does it for you should get a LHD wiper motor for you v important as some sharp practices take advantages of novis.


Thanks, lungwun; I see you got your facts right about the price of a nice used 407 in the UK.
Sone questions though:
1. How much for a real good conversion?
2. How long does it take?
3. Any answer to negate erico2k2's fears about the heater box under the glove compartment?
4. Any known electrical fault subsequently associated with this model?

Thanks.

lungwun: Good conversion varies from model to model. I have had converted 2 53 reg Honda accords and they set me back 250k each.

Both accords had their heating moved from the left to the right and work flawlessly.

The Peugeot will be more expensive due to the monopolization of spare parts by PAN.

I have no idea on the cost of conversion of the freelander but if I remember correctly, that car was quite problematic.
Bro I do nt mean to dis you but no need lying to conffer ur knowledge, however, I stand to be corrected you can never ever switch the heater box as these have L and R shapes, there would be limited leg space for the front passanger, the only way round this is like waht seinna said a full conversion with OME Box, ie Buy a LHD Heater box.I did convert honders at ladipo 2008 to 20011 so I know what Im chatting about.
Car Talk › Re: Right Hand Drive (RHD) To Left Hand Drive (LHD) Conversion by erico2k2(m): 1:55pm On Nov 25, 2013
lungwun: Hi Erico, I am not a converter so I have no idea what they do to the heater box. I am guessing it will be switched over to the other side.
No my friend, it cant be switched cos there is a left n right sides, but if you do manage to get one from a LHD car ur price would go up and it wont make sence.And if U dnt get the heater box working it means you have lost ur dimistifyer

Ikenna has answered most of your question up there, however to guess I would say the usual culprits are your O2 sensors, I know you have taken live data via ur scan, try just scanning for fault codes to see if ur ECU throws any and do a simple exhust pipe check.Oh I 4got to add, in the morning B4 you start the engine deep ur hand into the radiator resavour see waht the temp feels like if its completely room temp or warm.

soljade80: Hello All,
I need help please.
I use a 2008 Nissan Altima 3.5S engine. Sometimes in October this year on my way to Epe via Ajah, my transmission fluid pipe disconnected from the source and my car stopped like 10 mins after the LBS. I got it fixed but all my transmission fluid gone. Right opposite Abraham Adesanye estate i saw an auto centre where i got transmission fluid. I was duly told it would work for my car and it did. However about a month later my car was hardly engaging in gears. So i decided to buy the Nissan NS-2 fluid. Removed all oil, washed the filter and the new oil of about 8litres filled in.
My car wont move into forward gear. Only reverse gear works.
I need advice. Does this mean i have lost my gear? I need a very good nissan service centre and possibly a towing service to take the car there. Anyone with good infor and advice please?
No you have not, however like I said up there, go and SCAN your car and come back with the4 codes.DO it now.!!!

Exactly, some people here do have slow brains in the morning or just ignorant, I dont even think for once they are flying planes that are not up to standadrs abroad cos they wont let them land ie London,If you ever get on the Circle lines in London you would know that this is the oldest underground system in the world, same track still most same trains, just mordernized intanaly.Our problem here in Nigeria is we lack mentainance culture, we have to get new al the time.ATthe moment when we have more fliers from Nigeria, this new window need to open sharp sharp, I will patronize.

nikkyshyne: Hello house. I need your help, how do I prevent leg/toe cramps while driving?

I have been active in driving for the past 3 months and I experienced my 2nd cramp today. Thank God I was close to my house when it started. It was really bad.

So guys, what really causes it? How do one prevent it? And what can we do when it happens?

Thanks.
Cramp is not caused by your driving,rather a medical condition, no movement and toomuch movement can cause cramps, as in footballers,so you need even circulation on that part of body, I recon you do more exercise and see your Doctor and dont drive more than 3hrs, if you do, take an hour break somewhere.

dasparrow: @Bolded

Why will you reside in Togo illegally? There is nowhere you will go to in this world were illegal immigrants are treated nicely and welcomed with open arms. Nowhere I tell you. Be it Europe, America, Asia, Africa, etc. If you however make sure your paper issue is sorted out and you are there legally, then no one will just yank you off the streets and throw you in jail. You must keep in mind that other countries are not like Nigeria were anything goes and where foreigners can come here and get employment even though they don't have the legal papers/work permit to do so. In Nigeria we don't know who is who and we don't keep records like we should. Hence, anyone can come to Nigeria and live and work without any disturbance from the authorities. Outside Nigeria though, the story is different so be sure to follow protocol and get the necessary residence permit to reside peacefully in the country of your choice.
I dont mean to dis you but, Im just replying cos of the bolded you hilighted there, can you plz xplain to me how a Nigerian would live in Togo Illegally? huh huh

Car Talk › Re: Right Hand Drive (RHD) To Left Hand Drive (LHD) Conversion by erico2k2(m): 7:32am On Nov 24, 2013
djfiki: peugeot 407 conversions from RHD to LHD are problem free, I have seen several converted 407's that work well, u dont loose obII functionality or anyother functionality for that matter. I have 3 friends that drive converted 407's

The only problem i have noticed is that the car still refers to the right passenger seat as the driver so you get the seat belt alarm when the seat belt is not plugged in. Im not sure there is a solution to this, however for the price difference between converted and original LHD which can be from 500k to 700k, i think its not a big deal.

Wish u luck
As far as its Done in ladipo you will lose the OBD11 functionality, if we where talking of German cars or Japs then you wil be lucky but the french nahh
