Who else has noticed an increase in the way Lagos drivers stop in the middle of the road once the car behind them touches them.

The most annoying part is that they don't even care how many cars are behind them or the traffic that arise due to this singular action.

Most traffic in recent times are because of this behaviour in our drivers.

Pls air your views on what can be done to stop or reduce this...

Hi peeps, can somebody in the house enlighten me more about power steering. Recently i discovered that my steering stiffens and hard to turn whenever i want to turn around. I filled the transmission oil and it works properly but discovered that within 2days it go back to the usual stiffens. Then i observe that the container is empty and a hose is dripping the transmission oil. what is the implication and what can i do? Pls advise.

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a Divisional Police Officer, Mr. Oladipo Afolayan, for allegedly raping a woman in his office.

The development comes a few months after another Lagos DPO, Mr. Adekunle Awe, was arrested for allegedly raping a woman, Idowu Akinwunmi, in his office at the Onikan Police Division.

PUNCH Metro learnt that Afolayan, who is a Superintendent of Police, had only been recently posted to the Magodo Police Post when the incident allegedly occurred.

It was learnt that the woman he allegedly raped was a suspect in an ongoing investigation.

It was gathered that following a report by the victim, Afolayan was arrested and brought before the Commissioner of Police, Cornelius Aderanti.

Aderanti was said to have also reported the matter to the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 2 Command, Mr. Umar Manko.

Our correspondent learnt that the matter was transferred to the X Squad, a department at the state command which is in charge of investigating police crimes and misdemeanours.

When our correspondent visited the Magodo Police Post on Thursday, policemen on duty refused to comment on the matter.

It was, however, learnt that after taking his statement, the X Squad transferred the DPO and the case file to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.

When contacted on the telephone, the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed that the police were investigating the matter, adding that the senior police officer would be made to face the law if found culpable.

He said, “Yes, we are investigating an allegation like that. As a result of the sensitivity of the matter, it would be too soon to come to a conclusion. The stance of the Commissioner of Police is not to condone any act of indiscipline whether from the public or from our men.

“Therefore, when investigations are concluded, and the officer is found culpable, he will be made to dance to the tune of the law, and if it is found otherwise, he will be cleared. The press will be invited and briefed once investigations are concluded.”

Hi everyone. I need advice please. Forgive my explanation, I don't know much about cars.

I drive a 1998 Honda Accord EX I4 Automatic transmission (4 gear). Recently, I noticed that whenever I'm on a journey, the transmission performs very fine but after about one hour of constant acceleration above 100km/h, the transmission begins to misbehave and the gears take much effort to shift. Furthermore, when it starts misbehaving and I engage the gear, it doesn't respond immediately until I rev it up to 3000 and then it responds and takes unusual time to shift to the next gear and then stops at the third gear. But after letting it to cool off for like 30 minutes, it returns to normal. This has prevented me from using the car for journeys.
I took the car to the mechanics and after checking, they said the fault was from the sensors. I changed all the sensors and on the same day, I noticed the same problem.
Please what could be the cause of this problem and how can I go about fixing it?
Your kind advice and comments will be appreciated.
Thank you

[color=Blue]Time is all this guy should have. Don't forget Lambda Sond's and Catalytic Converters don't like oil, which is what kerosene is. The car could end up with a CEL.

Rectification doesn't come cheap, and is more time consuming that draining the tank, which may well have to be done anyway, in addition to dealing with the aftermath.[/color]

This thread is to help Car owners have an idea how much their used vehicle engine/transmission cost assuming they go bad. Now, this is not to wish u bad luck- but at least to educate people on their possible cost of replacement before investing to buy one. If you already have a car, just state the MODEL, YEAR AND MAKE, COST OF THE USED ENGINE/TRANSMISION, STANDARD OR AUTOMATIC.

If you don't know their price/cost, members of the house in this field or drivers of the car will inform you. This will be very informative to help us all. Thanks all

I drive 2003 Toyota camry v4, Automatic:
Engine cost(used)= ??
Transmission = ??

Am not sure about that, the engine works fine, no overheating or unnecessary Temp rise.

Can a new car advance timing to match the grade of gas or- is it that they only have a retard function?

No strings attached. I believe when i help people's wives, people will equally help my wife.

Have you not seen some women open their bonnet and mopping at the engine bay without any idea of what to do?

Hello pls I need serious advice. My Nissan altima 2.5s stopped accelerating and my mechanic told me I need to replace the airflow meter which I did & it began accelerating. After a while it stopped again & I have changed several airflow meters & it won't still accelerate. What could be the possible problem. Pls advise me. Thanks.

The idea came from the days of the Peugeot 505 and its brothers. Rev your engine to clear the carburettor of all dust and get enough fuel supply down the fuel pipe. Mind you, the louder your engine sound the healthier it is believed to be
