Nigerians and jungle Justice...
But the people flogging these boys will be the same people defending Saraki, Akpabio and Co..

Do you mean that those defending Amaechi, Fashola, Tinubu, Abubakar Audu, Lai Mohammed and co. would not join in beating these guys if they were kidnappers, ritualists or armed robbers that were caught?

GAZZUZZ:
If you have a slight tapping noise on your Jseries honda accord engine the most likely culprit could be the valve clearance. It is recommended you do a valve clearance adjustment every 15,000miles.

Before starting, ensure you have equiped your self with a set of valve cover or rocker arm gaskets, to avoid oil leaks after the proceedure.


It requires opening the valve cover and using a filler guage to readjust the valves.

Pics below.


Insert the feeler gauge (A) between the adjusting screw and the end of the valve stem on No. 1 cylinder, and slide it back and forth; you should feel a slight amount of drag.

The valve clearance can also cause the code P0174 and P0171 (lean mixture)

I think I can hear that tapping sound when I start my car. Most mechanics I have shown it to or discussed with seems to think its the adjuster that needs replacement. The car is a 2009 Honda Civic EX Coupé. What do you think I should do?

[color=#000055]Gold digger is a derogatory name for a person who cultivates a personal relationship in order to attain money. The accusation of being a gold digger is usually aimed at a woman who is with a man only because she wants his money.[/color]


Now the above is the literal meaning of gold digger according to google,it is even a common case in our present day Nigeria that it sometimes feels okay or normal,because of the alpha male gene most men possess,they feel they should provide for the female folk, even though it is not right but the abnormal thing gradually becoming a trend now is the male gold digger


[color=#000055]A male that makes it a point to be noticed via expensive material possessions Charismatic and charming, easily able to manipulate funds from empathetic souls.(women). Rarely works, have a sense of entitlement, lacks close peers and devoid of family. Steer clear of them. if its too good to be true it probably is.[/color]

was in a relationship with a MALE GOLD DIGGER,i cook his food,pay for his upkeep even things as little as haircut,he gets monthly allowance from me too,guy always blackmailing me with breakup if i complain,well i later got my freedom though i ended the whole thing and guy still calling till date

So guys have you come across a male gold digger? How did you handle the situationship




Cc punkyveer

I don't pity your type. I wished he had dug you so far that you would be so broken to the point that you would still be licking your wounds now and be unable to post here on Nairaland. That's what you get when you keep chasing "fine boys" instead of allowing real men to get to you. You sound like one of those girls that crush on and keeps tracking guys that have six packs, fine face, are tall and dark. Well, that's what you get when you look for shallow things in men instead of waiting for real men to come to you.

Be prepared! The next handsome guy is on his way to come and dig you silly. F.o.o.l.i.s.h. childish girl...

...The airport YarAdua started was abandoned as the place is now a forest...

Must you talk of things you know nothing about? The full Bayelsa knows that so-called airport was relocated from its initial site by Sylva after preliminary works and EIA had been done on the previous site by Alamaieyeseigha/Goodluck.

Secondly, it was Sylva and his ilk of crooks that got the money for the airport which was supposed to be a counterpart funding thing between Bayelsa State Government and the FGN. This was arranged by Goodluck while he was VP. The FGN brought their share of the funds which Sylva and his ilk downed without anything to show for.

Now you are throwing the blame on someone who struggled to involve the FG on the project to make funding easy for Bayelsa and absolving the man who killed it all with his philandering...

If you know nothing about Bayelsa, its people and politics, please just "cane your lane, mofo..."

Dickson is such a big failure that PDP's only hope for reelection is to lie their way to hell. That this election is not a walk over show the incompetence of Gov. Dickson.

If you are not a Bayelsan or live in Bayelsa, please STFU...

Dickson is incompetent. Yes! That we know. Sylva is both incompetent and murderous. He almost killed everybody in Bayelsa because they made him Governor. Sylva shouldn't even talk or walk in Bayelsa if we are to vent our anger in retaliation for his decrepit, murderous and retrogressive stewardship of the State...

Barely 48 hours to September 30, the deadline given by President Muhammadu Buhari, to release the list of his long-awaited ministerial nominees, the social media was again abuzz on Monday, with a list of politicians and technocrats who are speculated to make the ministerial nominees to be sent to the Senate tomorrow.

However, this list is not an official list from the Presidency. Again, this is not likely the real list because some names such as that of Dr Kayode Fayemi, Femi Falana and Engineer Segun Oni are all from Ekiti State. According to the constitution, the President must appoint a minister from each state.

Here is the list:

Prof. Tam David West
Femi Falana (SAN)
Lt.-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazu (rtd)
Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola
Wale Edun
Abubakar Malami (SAN).
Mrs. Ifueko Omoigui-Okaru
Chief Bode Mustapha
Engineer Segun Oni
Dr Kayode Fayemi
Dr. Abba Ruma
Chief Kanu Agabi
Donald Duke
Babatunde Raji Fashola
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi
Rotimi Akeredolu
Rabiu Musa Kwankwanso
Festus Odimegwu
Engineer Funsho Kupolokun
Yinka Folashade Oredola
Bisola Adegbenro
Isaiah Danjuma (son of TY Danjuma)
Dele Momodu
Kehinde Lawanson
Chief Bayo Ojo (SAN)
Pat Utomi
Charles Chukwuma Soludo

Meanwhile, as Nigerians await the official announcement from President Buhari:

* Who would you want to be on the list?
* Who would you want removed from the aforementioned names?

This is not possible. The Constitution says at least one from each State of the Federation. Some States like Rivers (coloured Blue) and Cross Rivers (in Red colour) have more than one slot while Bayelsa and Benue does not have any...

Here are a few simple steps that would help you know if your car's thermostat has been removed
Step 1: Open your car bonnet or hood, first thing in the morning.
Step 2: Start the car.
Step 3: Go to the front of the car and observe whether the fans start working immediately or not.
Decision Rule:
If the fans start working immediately you start the car first thing in the morning (at cold start), know that the car's thermostat has been removed.
If on the other hand, the fans do not come on immediately at cold start (that is, if it took some time after cold start before the fans come on), then you are safe. That means your car's thermostat is still intact.

What did you observe? so that others can learn? At least this is one of the easiest and no-frills way to find out...

eherbal:
sorry to say this bro......... downgrade

Downgrade? How?

A 2003 Camry is the first production year car for the 2003-2006 Camry generation. While the ML the OP bought is from the 1998-2005 generation stock. I don't see how that is a downgrade.

Secondly, moving from a Toyota to a Mercedes Benz has always been an upgrade. I still keep wondering why you are thinking it is a downgrade.

Thirdly, from a mid size sedan to a mid size SUV definitely smirks of an upgrade, even to the blind, deaf and dumb.

What would you have said then, if the movement had been the other way round, say from the 2001 MB ML 320 to the 2003 Toyota Camry? Huh?

Use better engine oil and all will be well.

How do you mean? Please....

aluko1010:
Cos Of economy. House can I get good naija use

Go to the Nairaland Auto section. There should be quite a handful in there. Thank me later...

That's most def an upgrade. Most car makers ended that generation in 2002/'03. I won't be surprised if the '03 model of the ML is same thing. So most def, you have officially upgraded...

adanny01:
On maintenance, i prefer buying Honda ball joints which are far cheaper than buying Toyota shock absorbers which is the common problem of toyota. Almost every friend i have with Toyota has changed shocks at one point or multiple times.

Fuel consumption of Civic is same class with Corolla but Civic has better acceleration. You should not be comparing fuel consumption of 2.4l Accord to 1.6 ot 1.8l corolla engines.

Anyone who choses fuel economy should not complain when he has been dusted or compete with suprerior cars. You cant eat your cake and have it, you choose.

Spot on. Thanks for reiterating my point. All this 'my Toyota est fantastique' boys won't allow people to even reason again. Lol.

Its only in Nigeria and Nigerians that feel the Accord is in same class as the Corolla. Forgetting that the Civic will thrash the Corolla in many ramifications. It is insulting to be comparing the Accord and Corolla, there is actually no basis for that.

OP, if you downgrade to a Corolla, I can bet a rat's a$$ that you will regret your decision. Enjoying a car is not down to fuel economy and low maintenance costs alone. You gat to feel the car to make it worth your while...

heffem:
Op, all of the cars u listed, I would have preferred the rav4, buh the generall problem it has is that of its "brain-box", which affects the transmission, slowing it down unnecessarily..... I travel a lot with tokunboh cars to long distances, and know what each of these cars gives on the road.....in this world and in the next....I could kill for a toyota corolla cars.......reasons......its fuel consumption rate is superb, its acceleration is out-of-this-world, above all, its maintenance is cheaper. Thank me later

Sorry to spoil your fun Bro...
You don't mention a Toyota Corolla and acceleration on the same page. If its for acceleration, the Civic is ahead of the Corolla.
For cheaper parts, well LuvinHubby would let you know if you are correct.

Like seriously, are you now comparing a Corolla to an Accord? The OP said he drives an Accord now and you are advising him to downgrade to a Corolla? Even going ahead to give the Corolla credentials even the Camry, its bigger brother would celebrate. Haba jama'a! The Corolla is no doubt a good car, but its being highly overrated...

PrinceDave001:
I personally prefer the Hyundai elantra or the corolla,I would have gone with the 2007 accord but I can't keep having the fear of ball joints I have been having though it has never happened to my 1999 accord.
Am also aware of the ecu problem for the 2001-2005 rav4 models.
Guess I'll go for either the 2009 elantra or the corolla although the rav4 is still tempting. I will still appreciate more views especially from users of these cars.

If you buy either the Corolla, Elantra or Rav4, be it known that you are downgrading. Don't expect performance to be up to scratch, because you'll definitely be comparing them with the Accord too just ditch and would find out that the Accord is way above their class.

I'm speaking from experience. I downgraded from a 2002 Acura TL Type S to a 2010 Honda Civic Coupé and am testifying that I miss the TL like I've lost a part of me. You'll most definitely regret if you downgrade because the feel, handling and road presence of the Accord is incomparable to any of those other cars. If you had thrown a Camry in the mix, I'd have suggested 2 options for you, but as it stands right now, the Accord would do you more good...

TheRealGEJ:
Thanks all for your comments so far. It's not that I'm only interested in swapping of cars. It's just that recently I started reading more on cars on nairaland and feels honda cars are a bit problematic hence I'm scared because I don't want to go through major repairs again at least for now. Hence I'm asking if I should swap it for a Toyota or stick with the Honda since I've changed the engine .
Thanks all for you comments

If you swap your EoD for the Corolla, two things are certain.
1. You will miss the acceleration, plushness, comfy, sturdiness and performance of the Honda
2. You will be buying less fuel.

There are lots of peeps on this forum who have followed 'the buy Corolla Syndrome' only to find out that it is everything they do not want in a car. If you have driven (as in used an Honda, a EoD at that) before, the Corolla would be the last car I would advise you to buy. You may think Honda is a problematic car, but by the time you downgrade to the Corolla, you would find out that you would prefer the Honda and its so-called problem to the Corolla a hundred times over. If you must drive a Toyota, I suggest you manage a Camry as that would give you the closest feel you use to enjoy in the Honda.

Any more suggestions, please?

When the condenser is getting blocked,it affects the compressor, don't allow them use blue gum on the rubber o rings. Let them replace any weak rubber,
Insist on its own compressor don't use alternatives

40k is just too much for a tokunboh compressor, it's in the range of 15k to 20k

another issue how is to get good technical personnel to handle the repairs over there

Thanks bro...
