especially with turbulence and lightening on night flights. Some passengers would poo on their seats.

and others might commit suicide instantly

from 2005 to 2007

2004 to 2006 for same Exterior but 2007 has a complete different alloy wheels. You can google it.

tsiriman:
This is probably a 2006 Kompressor.

There's a C350 exactly like that so it may not be a kompressor. Also it's between a 2004-2006 but not sure the exact year.

Gee2728:
if I had that car the only possible face lift for me will be headlamps, front spoiler, and the rims. something like this......

Ok this should be from 2004. The interior will assist confirm if it's a 2004 or 2005 because there wasn't an Harman Kardon sound system installed in the 2004 and the steering of the 2004 is different from the 2005.

How many toyotas have you owned?

How many have you driven?
Before I started owning cars, I had family who did and who still owned toyota.
Just on friday, my uncles 1998 camry was stolen in Mararaba.
My aunt immediately sold her 2001 camry and rushed to an RX300, I laughed at her because she heard camry and corolla was easily stolen and easily vandalized. But lexus is still toyota so?
Last year, I was driving one of my relatives highlander, when guys in okada accosted us, double crossed us and almost snatched the car from us. If not that I had been trained to handle and react swiftly to such risk exposures, that car would have been stolen and cannibalized.

I owned a toyota carina ii liftback, it was all tales of woes. From one sad tale to another. Two silly freak accidents and heavy bill to keep that lemon running. I sold her off.
Used an infiniti QX4 for 1 year with no single issue. I only changed oil 3 times, drained the hydrulic fluid, ATF, and coolant fluid (just at my own wish not because anything was wrong).

I am currently using a highlander and an RX330 Lexus. I can't travel outside Abuja with any of them neither can I go to some remote parts of Abuja with them because I'm afraid of vehicular theft although they're insured, have trackers, pedal locks, and steering locks.


I recall using my highlander keys to open another highlander same colour as mine early this year. I had lots on my mind and wasn't paying attention. I went to the door pressed the fob no reply. Inserted the key and voila it opened. I entered and observed it didn't have the centre console but mine had. Immediately the owner came and started cussing. I pleaded profusely. I had to go bring my own car nearby where it was parked before he calmed down.
You CANNOT try that with a Beemer, a Benz or a Peugeot.
So what are you now defending?

So what is your point to prove?

FIY, I'm only on toyota/lexus because I see their parts abound and mechanics abound. My choice is actually any Benz and Beemer.

Lomomike,

Your detailed post well appreciated. Since you have insured your RX and Highlander,i see no reason why you shouldn't move freely with them. The only issue is that some robbers can be very deadly to the point of killing the driver. May God not allow us see evil,Amen. My friend's 1997 Toyota camry pencil light was stolen at gun point @ Mafoluku and he was almost killed when he initially lied to them that there was no security installed thinking he would be allowed to go but on a second thought,they kept him inside and drove another 30mins before the car went off.

He said,they beat the living day light out of him and stripped him naked after he showed them the security before they allowed him go. He said was initially happy because the fuel gauge was already indicating yellow and that they won't get where to refuel but only for him to remember that he bought 25 litres of fuel for his Gen set which was in the boot and that same day,they snatched 4 other Toyota. The challenge he had was that people refused to assist him because they thought he was a mad man until one good samaritan stopped and picked him up. My guy said when he got home,the wife was happy some how because the husband won't be going out late again.

Another was my neighbour that owned a Toyota Avensis and similar thing happened only that they drove him all the way to Sango-Ota before they removed his clothes and kicked him out only with his pant.

C class is prone to theft. Oya slap me

You have just confirmed that you know little or nothing about automobiles. No point exchanging messages with you.

Cheers.

blakky97:
You'll replace the head lamp for 100k

Replace which headlamp for 100k? Did you replace one yourself and if yes,state the model of the C class you replaced headlamp for 100k. Your previous post you stated that C class consumes fuel or in your own language "warming the car with half tank of fuel. Do you drive a C class to ascertain the level at which it consumes fuel?

Awaiting answers.

FlyboyZee:
They said the Acura is a no-go area, yet I own a 2002 TL that makes the '08 Toyota Camry look like a toy both in performance and facilities. All I do is scan the car, get the codes, go online and do more research on the codes just to be sure of what I am doing. Then call a mechanic and tell him exactly what to do while supervising him. Each time I go to my mechanic, he waits for me to give him step by step instructions.

it means the mechanic don't even know what he's doing then. I don't listen to side talks when taking any automobile decisions. The most important thing to do is carry out a research online to know the common problems associated with a particular vehicle before a decision is made. Any mechanic that advises anyone to stay away from a particular brand but confirms only Toyota as the only brand that is ok to buy is an outdated mechanic and does not deserve to hold a spanner.

Bad idea, i'm not sure a lot of people will take to the sky in this sort of plane. The view may be incredible but it will be absolutely scaring for many as well

...then let them cover their eyes

Head in the clouds? UK developers are working on removing windows in planes to save weight and fuel, replacing them with smartscreen panels broadcasting the view.

It is a glimpse into the future that will inspire wonder in some people but perhaps strike terror into the heart of the nervous flyer: a windowless plane that nonetheless allows passengers to see what’s going on outside, as well as checking their email and surfing the net.

In a vision of what the next generation of commercial aircraft could look like in little more than a decade, windows would be replaced by full-length screens allowing constant views of the world outside. Passengers would be able to switch the view on and off according to their preference, identify prominent sights by tapping the screen or even just surf the internet.

The early-stage concept for the windowless plane, based on technology used in mobile phones and televisions, hails from the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI), an organisation with sites across north-east England that works with companies to develop new products. It imagines how large, hi-definition, ultra thin and lightweight displays could form the inside of the fuselage, displaying images of the exterior from cameras mounted on the plane’s exterior.

But the real ambition echoes a constant quest in the aviation industry: how to reduce weight, which would cut fuel consumption, thereby bringing down fares. According to the CPI, for every 1% reduction in the weight of an aircraft, there is a saving in fuel of 0.75%.

The idea came about after discussions about how printable electronics, in which the centre specialises, could be used. “We had been speaking to people in aerospace and we understood that there was this need to take weight out of aircraft,” said Dr Jon Helliwell of the CPI. By putting windows into a plane, the fuselage needed to be strengthened, he added, and by omitting them in favour of walls of screens on panels, the fuselage would be lighter.

“Follow the logical thought through. Let’s take all the windows out – that’s what they do in cargo aircraft – what are the passengers going to do? If you think about it, it’s only really the people that are sitting next to windows that will suffer.”

These futuristic plans would involve screen panels reflecting whatever view of the outside the passenger wanted, changing in accordance with the direction of their eyes.

The screens would be made using organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) – a combination of materials that give out their own light when activated by electricity. The problems with the technology involve price and their sensitivity to moisture, which means they are generally encased in inflexible glass, mostly in mobile phones and televisions. The key development, said Helliwell, would be flexible OLEDs, which would allow the creation of screens suitable for an aeroplane. Electronics company LG recently posted a video of an 18-inch (46cm) screen which bends and contorts while the images on screen are broadcast uninterrupted.

“What would be great would be to make devices based on OLEDs that are flexible. We can make transistors that are flexible but if we can make OLEDs that are flexible, that gives us a lot of potential in the market because we can print OLEDs on to packaging, we can create flexible displays,” he said.

The CPI is one of seven bodies under the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, an umbrella group which receives government funding to drive growth in manufacturing. Part of the way the CPI operates is to identify challenges in industry – such as the windowless plane – and develop ways to overcome them, according to Helliwell.

Using £35m worth of advanced equipment in its Sedgefield facility, the CPI says it working on technologies to advance flexible OLEDs and tackle problems of cost and durability.

This could lead to the development of the OLEDs and the windowless plane, but could also be used in “smart packaging” for medicines or food which would contain information that could be displayed on a mobile phone.

One of the first steps in developing OLEDs is a mask which helps treat eye disease among people with diabetes. The device from PolyPhotonix, which was developed at the CPI, aims to stop the breakdown of blood vessels during sleep as a result of the disease. Using the device, the eye is fooled into thinking that it is daytime, when there is not the same problem with blood vessel breakdown.

The concept for the plane, said Helliwell – letting passengers see outside while allowing a lighter fuselage – followed discussions with the aerospace industry. The idea of having the displays lining the inside of the plane could become reality in 10 years, after other “building blocks” in the development of OLED are completed, he added. “We are talking about it now because it matches the kind of development timelines that they have in the aerospace industry.

“So you could have a display next to a seat if you wanted it; you could have a blank area next to a seat if you wanted it; you would have complete flexibility as to where you put [the panel screens]. You could put screens on the back of the seats in the middle and link them to the same cameras.”

well, thanks to cne010 for answering the question.

Make i quote lomomike:
If a toyota camry or highlander with
2AZ-FE 2.4L 4 cylinder engine crashes,
you will cough between 250k-320K in
Abuja to get a complete toks engine.
If a toyota or lexus with 1MZ-FE 3.3L V6 engine crashes, na Gobe be that.

That price of benz engine is cheap....

so next time someone says benz parts are expensive....... Na "ignorant Learner"

Keep preaching to them my brother. They keep saying that benz consumes fuel,benz parts are expensive,there are no good mechanics that can handle its repairs,benz is a complicated vehicle to maintain,etc I just continue to laugh at them all.

But, mehn..for the first time in my life I drove one E-class owned by my friend this morning, just immediately after the environmental exercise. I did 140 on 3rd Mainland and I didn't know it!!! In fact, it felt like I was doing 60 with my Honda Bulldog. It was even my friend that told me to check the speedometer. Benz can kill o

premium killing....lol. My brother German engineering is fantastic. Even @ 180 that E class will be very stable provided you can handle it. If you then drive the CLS 63 AMG,it means you will create a thread to sing praises of Mercedes Benz.

@ smartchoice,I didn't see your name mentioned in that post so what's your point? CEO gave a warning card to his employee that will expire in 20yrs plus time so what's your own? I thought one of the moderators of Nairaland banned you that made you say you want to leave. Well,i rest my case.
