Chichilas: Thanks Eyop.

The battery removed from the car was 100 AMPs so I bought exactly the same thing. The DRL stopped working after I changed the batteries.

Ok. Even if your battery is not fully charged,it cannot stop the DRL from working. I guess the fuse is blown so you need to contact an experienced electrician to check that for you. But this is something that can be done personally if you've experienced something similar in the past. You can consult your vehicle owner's manual for instruction on how to locate the fuse box from there you confirm if the fuse is blown by replacing with another.

Chichilas: Gentlemen,

I am glad to now be part of this great forum. I just purchased a 2007 Mercerdes benz ML350 4matic. However, immediately after purchase, I noticed that the battery was bad as it ran down at a filling station. I then jump started the car and drove to a shop to purchase a new 100 AMP battery.

The problem is upon fixing the new battery, my Daytime running lights which are normally on as soon as I engage gear to drive have stopped working. Can anyone in the house give me an insight into what the possible problems are? Is it possible that the battery I purchased is not fully charged yet and so the DRL will not work or have the DRL bulbs gone bad all of a sudden? I had a similar problem with my Honda accord after I changed the batteries but the light came on after a few hours of driving.

Your quick responses will be highly appreciated.

Welcome Chichilas,

Is 100 AMP the recommended type of battery for your ML350? After you jump started the car,was the day time running lights on or was it after you fixed the new battery?

tommysparks: its either your bearing on d hub is damaged or brake disc is having contours those two issues cause vibration on braking , so have a Mech check it out. Its nothing more than any of the two. Be sure to get back to us after you have a Mech check it out.

Can bad tyres cause the vibration?

samnazarit: .....Bro, gone are those days when banks opens 'kiakia' accounts. With the new CBN categorization of Account Opening into 'Tiers', a proper KYC will be done on the account if you re going for the '3rd Tier' hence, the Bank MUST verify your address, some banks may even go as far as snapping the picture of 'your House', while some(Banks) will open the account within 2-3 days but you will be unable to make a withdrawal from the account until the account is fully KYC compliant.

The @Op should kindly visit his Branch tomorrow and have a chat with his/her Account Officer instead.

@ the bolded you are right,i remember the same thing happened when i updated my info with EcoBank. I was in the house one evening and my phone rang it was one Eco Bank staff that called and asked me to describe the colour of my building that they are outside but no need for me to come out which i believe they must have asked the security man some questions anyway. But in this case,how many times will the OP visit the branch for them to tell him the true position of things?

darqly: Op, did you really need to upload your cheque to pass across your point? I suppose you don't know the dangers of exposing personal financial details on a public forum

I guess he's no longer interested in banking with them even after the issue is sorted out that's why.

uboma: The KYC (know your customer) mentioned by Samnazarit is different from referee verification which may take two weeks or even longer if the referees are not inhouse. In my case, it was a savings account i applied to open with Stanbic, hence there was no need for referees.

Wow savings account opening delayed for 2 weeks Something that should be opened within 1 week. Well,that's more than enough reason to reject their services.

samnazarit: .................
...The Bank will be unable to open your account unless a 'proper' KYC is done by the Bank, which means, your house address must be confirmed genuine albeit, 2 weeks is somehow too long for the exercise.

Sometimes it can take more than 2 weeks. When i opened my Corporate account with Zenith Bank,i submitted Access and Diamond Bank referees but i was told by my account officer that they never responded to Zenith Bank and because of that they didn't release my cheque book to me which lasted over 1 month though the account was opened within 48 hours. So that's why it's always advisable to get referee from the same bank which is not always easy.

samnazarit: @OP, I would have advised you asked from them @ the Branch what really went wrong with the whole processes...

*On the issue of the C/Book, the Bank ll be unable to process the checkbook unless the 2 references supplied are certified ok.

*Also, there ll be a kind restriction if the said account is not compliant which will also deny you an access to withdrawal from the said account.

*I doubt if C/service officer handles account opening processes @ SIBTC Bank, Customer Consultants and Sales Peoples does that @ d Bank.

*I would advise you go to the Branch again, kindly ask to see the Account Officer assigned to your account on arrival, he/she should be able to 'solve' the said issue, without any wahala...

**Please, go to the Branch again, do the above and paste your experiences back on the forum.

If you go through the OP's post,you'll notice that he visited the branch severally but nothing was done and he also met with the branch manager who promised to resolve the issue and gave the green light for the customer to proceed in cashing the check but the same thing happened.

uboma: They tried to calm me down but at that point, i was no longer interested in banking with them. I insisted on collecting my money and documents which they obliged unwillingly.

Two colleagues of mine also experienced similar situations. I wonder why Stanbic is full of poor service.

wow that's serious. Sincerely i never knew that Stanbic services could be this poor as i was planning to open up a Corporate account with them but i guess the reverse will be the case now. Imagine this happening at the early stage of opening the account,what then happens when the customer transacts in full swing

uboma: We have recommend this topic for FP.

@ topic, i had a bitter experience too when i applied to open an account in one of their branches here in Abuja. I got pissed after being tossed around for 2 weeks. In my case, my account was never opened throughout the whole 2 weeks even though i deposited some money for account opening and submitted the required documents and completed account opening forms.

I stormed the branch after 2 weeks and demanded for my money and passport pix +personal documents.

What was the outcome after that and Was the account later opened?

uboma, davide470, adewasco2k help a guy out here.

TSAT: Ok. Tnx. I will change the fuel pump as I already have one I bought for my 2002 ML500 previously(hope it's the same). Can that be the cause. I also notice that those lights in the dash that shows in the morning, don't come up when the SUV is driven and engine hot. But once it's cold, the longer than usual engine kick start will occur.

Will change the pump and it's filter and keep you informed

That was just a suggestion. What's your mechanic saying about it?

shoppyanno: Hello folks. How una dey?
I wana appreciate you all for your advice. Can't but give a big shout out to Oga Eyop, Smartchoice, cne010, auhanson.
Below are some pics of the 2000 model C230 Kompressor

Chief greetings to you . How did it go on the road with this monster? I awaited your call but all to no avail.

funshyboi: am for real bro. One Ghana cedi is equivalent to 44naira

Well good for them .

PetroDolla3: [s]you must be strung out on a hallucinogenic drug or smoking pawpaw leaves. people like you are sick fvckers who ought to get their fvcking heads blown off by boko haram. such a cockroach! do you know the exchange rate of the cedi to the dollar? It is 4 cedis to a dollar. what is the exchange rate of the nairashit to a dollar? about 162. so what the fvck is the magg0tis goat talking about? foooooooooooooooooo[/s]l

Mr. man you need to grow up,hating on Nigerians won't do you any good cos have noticed in your previous post the way you attack Nigeria and Nigerians. I won't use any nasty words on you so behave yourself.

OXYGENO1: Its because the government is incompetent therefore the cedi keeps on depreciating almost everyday.

Ok then.

OXYGENO1: Don't be ignorant. The Ghana cedi depreciated.That doesn't mean its less value.Ignorant can kill u.Ghana cedi is valuable than de naira.

Well if that's the case,good for them but why is their economy in shambles There's no point derailing this thread arguing about the value of Cedis as that's not my business but to rather stick to the thread.

funshyboi: mind you Ghana cedis has gotten more value than naira

lol...what value?

iamayodeji: Don't get this wrong, this is how i see it.

I go to the University to get a certificate(Bsc.), i hope to make money with the certificate, Some will offer me 50,000 naira per month, some 75,000 naira. A very nice one will land me 300,000 per month, all of these will require working from morning to night, sometimes even weekends and sap out all my potentials and energy, Getting any of these is not even certain.

Now, i find one that will offer me 50 million dollars instantly, that is around 8 billion naira. The only Job here is to burn the certificate which would take less than 1 minute, judging by the poor quality of the paper my school used...........And am a Billionaire.

Who would be so dumb to refuse that?

Oga we don't need the long gist,the bolded in red ink is the answer we need

OP do you know the worth of $50million in Naira? #8billion plus... I don't think you do cos you shouldn't be asking this question. Some people even with their BSC(1st class),MSC,PHD will still burn those certificates. you think say 8 Billion naira na Ghana cedis

extremelygolden: I hope so becaue I don't see how any sane man could operate a joint account with a girlfriend in this 21st Century..

He's just letting you guys know what he intends to do and the outcome he dreamnt of

extremelygolden: Ms. Dangr (Danger) and you still went ahead to love and trust her?
O'l boy you don fall my hand joor.

But then whatsoever she sows, she'll reap. Just dry your tears. Nemesis

DailyNews: Lol...Omotola's husband married her when she was 16 abi 17...he caught her young and he was a pilot then remember

Kanu Nwankwo dated so many hot ladies but when he wanted to marry, he went home and his mama found him one small fine chick, he also caught her young and trained her in uni

Have u also asked y those celebrity marriages u mentioned crash so easily My dear, u are very right o that I can't speak for all men, but I speak the mind of majority of men and mind u, I love them super-pretty ladies, I'm only here to say d truth that I know, not what people want to hear and neither am I here to say things that will make ppl like my post by the way, goodmorning

Hmmmm!!am still cautioning you ooooo,my hand no dey again ooo

adeowo84: i once school in unical where i was opportune to have friends and colleagues from other tribe. As a students' leader, i know must of what was going on around me...like lecturers having affairs with my classmates(ladies), and some other social vices..Akwa ibom gals can be cheap, arrogant, desperate and fetish at times. Among all this traits, was d day i receive a shocker at my colleague traditional marriage. i had lead some some of my colleague to her wedding to her village to grace the occasion.we got der late in d nite,TM had already be.concluded, so we started girating (at least to show dat students don enter dia village) against d next day wc was to be d white wedding. as a gentle guy, i just sat in a corner gistting with some folks and d celebrant. suddenly my assistant, who happen to b a friend to this celebrant ask her this question '...now that u will be wedded what will u do about Dr. E (my lecturer in school)' and this was the bride answer ' even as i de wed tomorrow i go still de fu** Dr.E,i too like dat man'. i was hell shocked and felt so sorry for d next day groom.
I have not been able to delete dat episode from my head as i saw many of the akwabomites gal fallen cheaply and messing around...i dont hate them at all but i cant date dem not to talk of marring dem...oh! but some good ones de o like Otobong in nysc camp.#smiles

Your foolishness doesn't have Part2 infact you don't have sense @ all.
