What if nobody put the nail
What if you always always pass through pothole filled road and you never care to dodge some pothole.
What if you drive as if someone is chasing you and you are entering the potholes at top speed
What if you are always buying used expired tyre

The whys
Why didn't you buy new tyre
Why didn't you change all four tyres
Why didn't you have a spare tyre
Why didn't you have a jack

Now read slowly digest and stop thinking negatively cos what you think manifest
I always slow town in untied road or bad spots. Cars always blow horn at me and even overtake me in pot holes and untied road.

I have a spare and jack. I never know the jack was faulty also the spare was flat. But now I bought new jack, tyres and spare.
Car Talk › It's Always Good To Inspect Your Car Tyres Each Time You Pack. by fineboynl(op): 8:48am On Apr 08, 2023
Yesterday I drove from home to buy yam. From yam to barb hair from hair to filling station. If was from filling station someone point my tyre to me.

When I came down to check it. It was flat a tyre I just bought 3 days ago.

When I drove out from the filling station I packed to inspect the flat tyre I want to go straight to where I bought the to cause a scene. But when I check I saw nail pouch through the tyre. I really can't tell where I pick the nail. If it's from house but one thing I was sure of is that it was intentional. Someone set the nail for me. Because this is not the first time.

And the funny thing is that I was going to the same club. The last time it happened was a week ago reasona I bought and change tyres. I went to the club pack car. Only for me to come out and met a flat tyre. I suffered that night. No jack, no spare tyre. No body even care to listen to me.

If not for the fact someone point this to me I would have go there pack the car only for me to come out and meet the same thing.

I would have suspect the people there.

If I have check the tyre before leaving home I would have trace where it happens.

But right now I'm 90% sure someone put the nail for me. Even the vulcanizer that patch the tyre think so. What is really happening?

Could this be a sign I should not go that club again. Even my babe when that was coming when she head about it she refused to come again. She too has a car she will come with. But I believe she think it's not a good sign to leave the house when she heard about my tyre issue.

I'm just confused. Is it's a warning sign to stop going to that club.

Car Talk › Re: 2010 Toyota Matrix Or 2008 Rav 4? by fineboynl(m):
PAQ:
The Matrix shares thesame reliability with your Corolla, same engine and gearbox, but a more stylish exterior and practical interior. Its more or less a wagon and seats fold to carry more load.

The 2008 Rav4 is not as reliable, there are complaints with the 4 cylinder burning oil while the V6 has transmission issues. I have had friends with bad experiences but from 2010, Rav4 has a new engine and more reliable.

For rest of mind go with the Matrix or Rav4 from 2010.
an engine is calculated by cylinder power which is majorly in litres not necessarily the number of pisten. Most modern cars has nothing less that 2.4 to 2.6l for 4 cylinder except for more fuel economy cars that has less than 1.6 to 2.2l. it also has it price as a small engine and their engine and AC packup really fast as compared to bigger engine.

Most V6 comes in 3l engine. They have better power which doesn't stress engine and a better AC power and function.

If you reraly use the car you want feel it.

Powering AC on small gen you know how it drags. That how it is when the small engine get high mileage.

Purchase receipt is okay. But you know police. You will have to settle tire. You might get a police report from epkoma.

Letter headed paper address police maybe valid for a week. All this cost money. Go to epkoma central police division. I believe they have area command.

Car Talk › Why Is My Brake Not Sharp Again. Is This A Fake Brake Pad? by fineboynl(op): 5:17am On Apr 07, 2023
My brake use to be very sharp. In fact every time it's applied you will be thrown from the seat. And I like it like that because I have mastered how to use it gently to slow down or for a sudden stop. If anyone drive it for the first time the person will be jeking the car.

It all started when my mechanic told me one of the back brake is half chop I should plan for it before iron will meet iron. So I told him how much he said it comes in two so I will be changing the both and 5k for the pads.

Since then the brake is not the same I have complained tire. He keep on saying the brake is ok. But that not how it was before. If you are following a car too close and that car stop too quickly sure you are going to hit it because this one will slow down before it stop even if you floor it down. The previous one can stop in full stop and very sharp incase you didn’t see something on time.

I have look at the brake very full and new. What then is the problem? Is it fake brake pad or something? I need help.

Attached is something like this

It also serves well incase of rain.

Always windup and use the AC.

Those who want to economise fuel. I have tried several times to not on the AC. But I ended up turning it on. I don't feel secure when I winddown. Those traffic beggers and theft. It helps to avoid them.
Car Talk › Re: How To Maintain A Car As A New Driver? by fineboynl(m): 5:14am On Apr 04, 2023
Anonymoususher:
Since you know about changing oil and oil filter one other area people often neglect is the gear oil. Many believe the gear oil doesn't need change or stays about 2yrs or more before it should be changed.

My brother don't fall for that, make it a habit to change your gear oil at least twice yearly, it won't kill you but you will pay dearly if your gear gets spoilt. I changed mine with about 170k and I learnt the hard way.

Secondly, always check your water, please ensure you have coolant in your radiator and not just water, coolant is recommended and while driving from time to time your eyes should cool to the temperature reading to be sure your car to know when the car is overheating so you can stop immediately else your car will just burst into flames one day.

Also make sure your AC filter is changed immediately it stops to chill (that thing doesn't cost above 2k), don't fall for the temptation of increasing the AC, as a rule for me, my AC is always at the lowest whether morning, afternoon or night so long as my filter is neat, the car should be cold enough. Increasing the AC can stress your engine, even if you don't notice, the car may require extra power to run the AC and the engine at same time. So at lowest should be a rule for you.

Also, avoid dragging road with crazy drivers especially in traffic, who wants to pass allow them to pass especially this yeye lagos. No go carry Benz dey drag road with corolla cos at the end you will be the loser.

Don't be a rough rider, change your tyres when their teeths are fading, check alignment so u don't derail to another car, when you see bad roads, slow down to avoid spoil ur shock.

Lastly, fix damages when you spot them but be careful not to allow the car overwhelm you because there are seasons when the car will frustrate you back to back and all you work will just be consumed by the car, don't let it get to you, fix the necessary stuffs at your pace
how do you change AC filter? Remove the dashboard?

I'm wondering. That's the same price I got from a driving school I called earlier too...
But from internet search I could see something very different which is less than the same amount you mentioned.
alternatively get a learner permit from your driving school and it's for 6months. The only problem is that you will drive with a learner sticker.

Opay do not charge for SMS before. But they are not charging for SMS

I stop receiving their SMS until I check the app with I am not getting SMS. I saw that they untick the SMS. But when I want to tick it I saw 3N per SMS charge which is fair though.

Also I would like opay to build a escrow service it would help online business.
Car Talk › Re: How Can One Identify A Stolen Vehicle At The Point Of Purchase by fineboynl(m): 8:50pm On Mar 19, 2023
No two vehicles have the same VIN or Chasis no. A vehicle registered correctly with a VIN no cannot be re-registered with the same VIN no. The FRSC portal will indicate it's been used before.

That's why it is very pertinent to properly register one's vehicle.
what if a dealer buy from Owner to resell?

I believe dealer will be wise enough to ask for all that before purchase. So the name on the document will be of the previous owner and also the dealer provide the drivers license.

How would you na buy without a driver's license?
