The thing with cars is if you manage, maintain and spend good money on good parts on your car it will serve you well and for as long as you need or want it. Alot of Naijarians ask me why i am still driving these cars they are expensive to run or they are outdated, they advice buy Nissan, buy toyota,buy that car buy this car, they are better, I say to them it is my choice to keep these cars.

In Naigeria some car owners do not mantain their cars properly (I understand times are hard and goods, parts, and other commodities are expensive) they wait until one minor fault develops into a major fault, for example every car needs a full tank to perfom properly but alota Naigerian car owners ussually drives on half tanks or almost on an empty tank, this can cause a car to develop faults.


Every car is good as long as it is mantained and managed properly, right now i am driving a classic Land Rover

No, i stopped importing cars to Naigeria since 2016, when i lost 2 of my cars a Volvo and a Jaguar to the corrupt Naigerian customs, they seized the cars for some unreasonable reasons, they did bill me about 1 million plus (bribe) to bail out the cars at the time but i refused as the cars are genuine with correct import and bill of sale documents. when i went back months later to see if i can retrieve the cars, they were gone! it being taken away, stolen? I don't know! I called everyone i know and knew about to help me recover the cars, but none could help, some guy even threatned me, accussed me of claiming my cars where seized. So i let the cars go to save myself.

First paragraph and second paragraph is 100% correct. True. Car owners should see this and take note .



Last paragraph. I just couldn't stop "wowing". Indeed, humans are wicked. I just always like purchasing things myself as I have this confidence in myself to buy right , hence, why I shipped through car in myself . That was my first car shipment . It has been a while and I seem to have forgotten the process . I just know that custom and clearance issue is always the problem down here

Alfabest07:
i am on a hunt for my 1st car that will also be for uber, i have a long waiting time for my license - do you think i can go this import route for a better condition car?

This thread is adding Civic to my Camry possible option..

If you can, why not? If it is cheaper for you that way.if not, you buy in Nigeria.

Calitoscassius:
Well.. the Murano i still have, I had problems with the gear when i imported it, the gears was really a big problem so i dumped it for a Benz 320, the benz runs very well just that because.it is a 3.2 litre engine it costs so much on petrol, the parts can be a bit expensive too.

After i was i adviced by one mechanic to convert the Murano gear, at first i thought what? Convertion? How? Why? He told me that the car is just useless without a good gear, he even offered me 800k for it, i tried to see if i could buy a new gear but it was 750k in the end it cost me £450k to convert the gear, now it runs fantastic apart from it's petrol consumptions, it costs much on fueling, as it is a V6 engine as i was told.

The Honda Element is brilliant, never gives me any problems, very reliable and doesn't cost much fuelling it is a 2 litre engine, I imported from Houston sold to me by a 17 years old owner who bought another car.

The Benz i bought from the UK it was a right handed wheeel which i converted to a lefty in Naijaria. The other 2 i bought from the US

Thanks for the insight.
This goes a long way to say that all cars cannot be the same for everyone. If you would ask some people here, they will discourage you from buying all the cars you mentioned. Yet, these are the cars you are using and are doing fine for you.


Do you still import cars? I imported my car myself too . Hoping to import another but this customs clearance feee is discouraging

People have given you replies here. i can tell you for a fact that it is the charcoals found in your Vapor CANISTER aka charcoal cannister . This canister is attached to the fuel line. it absoves the odur and gases from your petrol. How it got into your fuel tank is what i can't understand. the picture below is where the charcoal is in .

people who always have their tank overflowing when refilling at the fuel station should check this cannister

Calitoscassius:
If it is not an SUV i am not buying it. SUVs are the best for Naijarians rubbish roads.

After driving a Murano SUV, SUV Benz 320, LeXus RX 300 and Honda Element, i will never drive any vehicle that isn't an SUV or "Jeep" as you Naijarians call them

Would love your insights on these cars you have used. Pros and cons etc.
Thanks boss

Anyone could easily be called a bandit with the way he dresses and his location, a bush.

Kobojunkie:
Yes, blood descendants of the man Jacob.

2. Recall that I had that you not worry at all about me earlier.

I think I am beginning to understand you. No worry, no ask .


God is Gof of all. God of Abraham, God of Adam,God of Eve, whatever God of all! He is God for all and not limited to a person ,tribe or lineage .

Kobojunkie:
I don't understand. How in the world is saying "God of Israel" contradictory?

2. YHWH declared Himself God of Israel — God only over the tribe that consists of the descendants of Jacob who is also named Israel — in Scripture. Why does stating this bother you?

.


Descendants of Jacob , you say? So he isn't your God then

Kobojunkie:
God of Israel has no right to say that He is God of a certain people and not another?

2. It absolutely doesn't at all given traditional groups in even Nigeria also have their own tribal gods to boast of. So why not demand they quit being for any particular group then?

Aren't you contradicting yourself here ? God of Isreal . God of Jerusalem. God of Arabia.
God of Ethiopia...

Well, except you are being sarcastic which I am hinting you are. There are isn't any meaning to saying God of Isreal. .

Kobojunkie:
Don't worry about me! Worry about the scammers who major in hiding their scams behind the mentions of the name of God of Israel —YHWH— and His Son, Jesus Christ.

I am worried about nobody honestly. This life is too big to let someone's ish become mine.
Make everybody dey do whatever he likes. God be te judge .


God of Israel, you say? Should God be for a particular tribe or people? Wouldn't it be wrong if we say the God of Kenya or the God of Africa.

Doesn't it sound cringy when you Limit God to a particular tribe? GOD should be God and should be for us all. Innit?

Kobojunkie:
The man accuses God of being a schemer against that which is right — accountability— and you don't want me to speak up against it?

Lol. Trust you.


However, I will like to know where you swing. Are you an atheist? Christian ?

Kobojunkie:
See Wickedness abeg!

I don't blame him! I blame the so-called billionaires who continue to fund his lies.

Lol. I had a bet that you will be here and lo and behold you didn't disappoint.

CheapHomes1:
how can repair be carried out then "hoping dualisation starts soon"?

how was the road repaired when the report says that "The current rehabilitation work has already improved travel along the corridor"?

how soon is the dualisation starting?

The road has been repaired and made motor able for users. Unlike before when it was riddled with giant pots holes left and right .

So, the holes were patched to allow easy flow of traffic pending when the dualisation begins

iamtoofan:
That is not helping, the seller was just being nice .... if OP had given them for free or credit thats "help"
Being cautious or taken precaution does not require you to be hostille, besides an hostile trader won't gain anything so whats the point

you just carry your pain enter wrong thread

You said the seller was not being nice . Is the opposite of nice not almost hostile ?

If seller had stood his grounds for confirmation before anything even while they said the baby was crying and all. What he did was out of compassion.

Some people will not hear story , they won't care if the child is truly crying or whatever, they will collect their money. Is that the kind of person you want the OP to run into?


Your last statement. I can't reply you. We don't know ourselves

Will you then blame people who will decide not to help people ?
So many times I have been burnt helping people just because I am human. Wouldn't ask what you are , will just help .

If Op decides to be hostile towards people in the future, are we going to blame him?

Really? Is this necessary? Do you have to be the one to start the tribal war? Do you?

Hi guys, my name is Ayobami. You can ask me about your AC issues and i will respond.

Your phone number or how do we reach you.


Will I need to leak all the gas to change the leaking water outlet pipe?

Isn't this a sign of respect in their culture? Like 'Your Excellency, I'm too little to shake your hand'

Exactly what I am thinking .

Macmilla:
LOSS OF POWER

Which is caused by a bad fuel pump.

Fuel pump was replaced. Like I had said earlier, got new fuel pump and it would work well for a while and then that same problem will happen .

It was until I bought a tokunbo fuel pump assembly unit that I am still using till now

Macmilla:
That does not sound like fuel pump issue. A failing fuel pump will give issues when higher pressure is needed, that is at high speeds or when accelerating. This will manifest as loss of power.
OP never complained about any issues at high speeds or while accelerating.
Check your idle control system, esp if your car is cable driven.

I am not a mechanic neither am I "mech" savy. I am just saying from my experience which is 100%

A failing or bad fuel pump will stall or shut down an engine when in a traffic jam or while Ac is turned on during idling .
Those were the two thing that happened that got me changing fuel pumps. I bought these news pumps three times before I finally opted to buy buy "Tokunbo" complete fuel pump assembly. Bad fuel pump will stall your car in a traffic jam, I thought we all know about this because whenever mine happens, drivers would pass by and tell me to go change fuel pump

You would struggle to climb upward slope of a bridge.
You might also be struggling to go past some certain high speed. You will be pressing the pedal but your speedometer guage would remain the same except you brake a while and pedal hard.

Originality007:
Good evening, pls what could cause my Camry 2005 to lose power anytime I On my ac and am inside the traffic or slow down. What I discover is that, the car will b shaking and after few minutes the car will off itself, I will have to start it again, sometimes it will take few seconds to start. but anytime am on the motion it doesn't shake or off itself, Only wen I slow down or in traffic.
pls what could cause this and what can I do to stop this
Thank u

from experience, it is either one of these:
bad fuel pump
bad spark plugs/ ignition coil.

my bet is on the fuel pump. It is likely failing. let your mechanic check the pressure of your fuel pump. It has happened to me just as you described.

Houseontherock1:
Most landlords are not wicked; it's the situation of the country. However, unless we built the house together, my tenants can't tell me how much to bill them for rent. They should realize that this financial hardship concerns everyone and landlords buy from the general markets too. If your income can't take 3 bedroom flats, just move to 2 bedrooms

True. Tenant not in the position to tell a landlord how much rent he should pay. It's the Landlord's property and he can do anyhow he wants. Thay is true .

While some tenants are from hell, some aren't and we expect the landlord to be considerate with these rents in times like this landlord increasing house rents by 30/40 percent is somehow . Some landlords will come and be comparing their houses with others , telling you how much others pay , so you must pay such.

I am a tenant and a landlord. In a span of 5 years. I have only increase rent by 50k as a landlord. As a tenant, landlord has increased rent by 50% of initial rent and he is hinting of future increase .

Somw landloord see it as Business. Will just let to beg for little consideration. How things aren't easy for landlords is also the way they aren't for tenants too

Said it before. You shouldn't encourage jungle justice .
Most painful death is one done on a mistaken identity or false accusation.

Proper investigation should always be carried out before justice .

Haven't we learned from Aluu 4? The lawyer accused of stealing a child and many others that don't make it to the news.

Can you just start the project . goddammit with the use of "it will " everytime and it doesn't happen

The dance of a mad Man is fun to watch by non relatives.


I seldom wonder how people read about the misfortunes and tragedies of their loved ones online and the comments that follow.

Obviouslyblunt:
it’s not a fake screen per say, it’s just Apple’s way of serializing parts. Even if you swap screens of two new iPhones to one another you’d still get that message.

Exactly. It doesn't have to be a fake screen for that message to appear. No it doesn't. If you remove from another iPhone to another , it could pop up that message. It's just like Face ID, no two devices have same face ID. It's apple's way of wanting you to patronize their stores for repairs.


Saying the screen is outright fake is wrong.

Which northern paddy what's the quantity of their produce, is it even enough for rice mills in Kano

If they luckily fix insecurity today, and bikoharam stops killing rice farmers and destroying their farms

Will you grow rice today and harvest even within a month?

I need to ask how far have you traveled? How well do you travel to the north?

Are you into paddy rice business. Please a sincere answer and I will know how to reply you.

tollyboy5:
We need to import since northern paddy rice are not enough.

Northern paddy is enough. .no let anyone tell you that.

Fix farmer's security and see how this paddy is enough even for exportation

fail:
To me, Yes.
Do you have any other one better that I can start patronizing?

They are so plenty .
I have had my fair share fbad experience with some.
Amgray for example. I have promised never to use again.

This Heroshe , I think have read some bad reviews here on Nairaland.

fail:
What makes you stand out from heroshe if I may ask?

Is Heroshe that good that you are using as yardstick?
