Range Rover is an amazing SUV, durable, reliable and fuel efficient for a V8 fitted SUV.
It is expensive to maintain, though hardly develop faults. Parts are readily available but expensive to purchase, the side mirrors alone will set you back 15k+.
Let me know your budget to enable recommend other SUV that are equally good and less expensive to maintain.

I just changed my engine ( Toyota Camry 2001v6) and since it has been overheating. My mechanic already removed the thermostat when he fixed the engine. I have washed the radiator, changed the radiator cap but still the same. When it overheats the temp gauge wild have gone beyond the half mark, the coolant reservoir would have gone pass the max limit, even filling the container and boiling seriously. Pls need expert advise. Thanks

Dear Nlander, I live in the caribbean and I was advised by my machinic to remove my thermostst because of the climate, he says thermostats were designed only for temperate countries.

and it is right for them to steal public funds and put in foreign banks in foreign nations abi

Not just the recognizable leaders in public eye but all the top leaders of the out going administration should be sanctioned by foreign govts both at federal and state levels if they are accused of corruption. And Nigeria should give some kind of real autonomy for the anti-graft agencies in the country. Every state should also have their senior auditors reporting to the Auditor in Chief of the federation. The post of auditor in chief of the federation should also be granted autonomy from the three arms of government so that they can be really effective.

As a development Economist I will fault this method of yours with all due respect for the reasons I've just stated...its just like starving yourself to achieve an aim financially. One may not be alive to witness its frution...imagine the accidents, untold & unnecessary hardship people will experience as a backlash of such policy....

themodernman:
Bro I feel every bit of what you saying, nobody is saying we shouldn't produce...what we're saying is we shouldn't be so fast to close our borders just yet...drastic & aggressive actions usually end up with huge consequences.

I beg to differ where you said we didn't have good electricity during our oeriodnof assembling vehicles...our Refineries were most likely in top shape then which would have provided enough gas to produce Electricity not now that they're all defunct...China that are sudden Manufacturing giants borrowed less money from IMF than we did and they have a world class working Power plant today. We on the other hand have been seeing our Refinery repair as a means for each incoming govt to embezzle money...as I said the repair & functionality of our Refineries alone will solve Nigeria's problems by 15% if not more...but the cabals will never allow it...some ppls wealth come from d continued dilapidation of those refineries. And now they wanna increase the burden by adding manufacturing to it....then population of Nigeria during assembling era that needed electricity can't be compared to today where almost every tom, dick & harry needs it.

What should be done is to allow the importation continue & gradually infuse the Nigerian made cars into the market system then use that time to begin providing alternate means of transportation for people the policy might not favour and then when this is done they can go for the kill by shutting the borders...this is what a government that really cares for its people will do...life has gotten more sophisticated than doing things in a drastic & aggressive manner...things dont work that way man...

Amaechi is a hero, even with APC defeat in Rivers, he has lost nothing, a mouth watering job awaits in at the presidency, and of course he will be in charge of decision making on issues at the Federal level.

davou4eva:
It does not mean that you must be using the car for all your day to day activities. It might probably be an occasional usage to minimize maintenance activities and expenses but at least you will know that you have a mobility means whenever the need arises and most especially when you have to go out with your spouse and children.

Kashif:
You must be a magician. 160k + 09/10 civic + school fees + rent + xtended family support? Indeed, I need to get in touch with you bro! See me thinking I am prudent

Kashif:
40k as the only income and keeping a car on the road? Something must be wrong with my household!

Mrs Kashif, you better come and read this oo!!

No wonder! Am experiencing slow start or acceleration with my Nissan Primera Auto. Thought it was a problem till you are explaining it now.

Hello house! Pls any idea where and how much is wheel drums n back brake pads for 2006 Toyota Corolla? My mechanic collected 20k for 2 back drum wheels n 12k for back brake pads, Pls any idea? Kindly update me, thanks

billy187:
Bottom line. Good policy. Bad timing.

I'd like to take this from a different perspective. Its all good and fine Nigeria wants to encourage its local car industry. But then as a non-nigerian observer, I see some aspects that may turn this well-intentioned plan into a nightmare.

Lets say this levy is put on every single car coming in. Import car prices will jerk up, especially the used cars. Last time i checked, new cars also aren't particularly cheap to get- odds are that a well made new sedan has an msrp of well over 2 million naira.

So imagine..joe everyday man who could have upgraded his 1991 405 to a 2009 camry finds its price out of reach. Buying a 2015 naija made model is just as impossible- even the stripped down ones. Joe's only option is to hold on to his old 405.....even after it becomes a rusty deathtrap. Heck- he'll even fix it up when it gets run over by a caterpillar D9.!

So what you'll get are a whole lot more rickety deathtraps puttering along the road....that will. definitely be linked to alot of unnecesssary deaths....Survivors wont have it easy either...they will live with a cocktail of repiratory diseases.!..

But hey, more folks might just walk....win!!

CityNG:
If I were the President of Nigeria, the very first act I would do is raise the import fee on cars to 400% and make car smuggling punishable by a death sentence

samally:
okay......I want to buy it as Nigeria used not direct from abroad....
and the model is (DC)

Sweet words coming from one who has little understanding of a step in d right direction.

We know what to do but we'll rather die dan do it d right way den wonder what's bedevilling us. Mercedes Benz is produced in South Africa, did they get to there by Protectionism? Its not just important to make a step but one that's made in d right direction. Its wat is called looking b4 one leaps...wat are d preparations on ground to ensure its viability with Power dats barely sufficient to meets d masses needs we want to add d burden of Manufacturing to it as well...yet some folks will still come here & support such a ridiculous policy. I think I'm right When I say we Nigerians & not d govt are d problems of ds country.
I'm not here to convince anyone cos I know my fellow countrymen once they're hooked onto a particular idea its a waste of time trying to let them see another opinion
even if its obviously leading nowhere...Objectivity is one thing most Nigerian lack.

Count the different colours I used to trace the different triangles, then you would know its 13 triangles that are there:
1 big triangle containing all the other triangles.
On the 1st line, there is 1 triangle.
On the 2nd line, there are 3 triangles.
On the 3rd line there are 5 triangles.
The 1 triangle on the 1st line combined with the 3 on the 2nd line forms another triangle.
The 1st triangle on the bottom left combined with the 3 following it forms another triangle.
The 1st triangle on the bottom right combined with the 3 preceding it also forms another triangle.

Adding all together we'll have:
1+1+3+5+1+1+1=13 qed...

oluwaseunla:
I think it's not very fair to judge Nissan cars based on those two models (almera tino and primera). Reason is that they are both equipped with the CVT, which is designed to change gears before maximum rev. Drive either the manual or tiptronic version of those same models, and you'll see a distinct change. Even the rogue comes with a CVT.
