Am pained this morning. I was cleaning the interior of my car this morning and on wiping the dashboard with my towel, suddenly my head slightly hit the inner rear mirror which is attached to the windscreen and what I saw next was baffling. From the base where the mirror is attached, the glass(windscreen) got badly cracked, forming a star like crack to the windscreen. What baffled me is the fact that the contact my head had with the mirror was not even hard; I did not feel any pain to warrant such a devastating cracks on the windscreen. Honestly am at a loss how a mere and slight contact with that mirror would cause such a damage to the windscreen. Could it be that the windscreen had expired, if there is anything like that? Or what really went wrong?

Gurus in the house, What do I do now? What is the cost of a new windscreen for Nissan Primera? What do I do in the interim pending when am ready financially to buy a new replacement?

I disagree with you, depending on the engine, ringing is a much better option if done well.

Americans call it engine reconditioning, its a detailed process involving cylinder re boring, to get the right size of rings ,pistons, the crankshaft can be cut if it is found wanting.

Buying a used engine is a gamble, you dont know the condition of an engine until you mount in on a car and start it.

Its becos we no longer have skilled mechanics as we used to that people resort to buying used engines, just playing Russian roulette cos the engine you bought could be a worn engine.

not quite so, I ran the vin of the last engine before I paid for it, it came off a salvaged car, rear ended really badly, mileage was 55,000miles The recipient car came with 65,000miles but I feel it was tampered with. There are different ways of buying used engines, and so far I have had no regrets.

Drinking problem kwa lol

U have to evaluate ur fuel consumption properly b4 u can b advised BTW wats ur engine size

How many liters does it consume on hw many km

7k fuel is 48l @ 145 by d way n d least it can give on an average 2.0l 4cylinder car of over 25yrs like urs shld b up to 250km or thereabt on freeway given the abuses it must have suffered with d mechanic over d years

60km x 5 = 300km, 48l gives u 300km frm wat I can deduce frm ur post n dts nt as bad as u r saying it assuming ur engine is 2.0l.

Buhari change jst hit ur pocket

Hello Honda gurus,
I drive a 2000 Honda Accord.4 days ago, I drove long distance plus traffic jams,the radiator started overheating with it reflecting on the indicator,looked at by 2 mechanics who noticed a leak on the top.Changed the top today but now,at intervals,there's hot steam explosively coming from the closed bonnet while running idle.The indicator is below the halfway mark still. On opening the bonnet,a clearly boiling water(or coolant) sound is heard.It is bothersome.The panel beater who changed the radiator says the gasket has been affected by the overheating.
Could this be true? He says I shouldn't drive the car again until the gasket is replaced or it will knock the engine.
But I have to go about my business.
Please help me with a diagnosis so I can understand what's going on.

Gazzuzz,Luvinhubby,Siena,Macmilia,kindly provide your inputs. Thanks.

Since I am less busy and bored staying at home, I decided I needed to go out and see what the world looks like. So my first stop was at the licensing office at sura lagos since it was closer to me.

I got there around 3:00pm after making sure I finished my bowl of garri and nasco biscuit to sustain me since am too lazy to cook (No be my fault nah economy cause am).

Getting to the office I was shocked, it was as silent as a grave yard nawa, be like say workers Don go source for fresh tomatoes for market. I walked majestically inside feeling fly, after all, it's not easy to be a graduate. I met one guy there and explained my self, he didn't waste time dishing out his number for me to call him and started billing me
1. Registration nah around #3500 with alert,
2. Insurance just do the 5k own cause they will arrest you for the #2500 and still yet they will do it, instead of rejecting processing for individuals looking for cheap one
3. Road worthiness nah 4k also you will bring your car for inspection.

Chai which one is bring car for inspection, are they going to scan it. Well, I left and promised to come back when I don hustle the money. I still have 2weeks left before my expiry deadline.

Today, I told my brother in law who has always been doing it for me and he said, at the vio office his car was rejected Road worthy because he had a cracked wind shield, even the vio boss promised to help him with 5k out of 15k to fix the wind shield if he went and fixed it, the guy just run comot.

So I went to an autoreg centre personally today, had to waste 1:30mins cause the Personnel in charge went to get materials. Paid for licensing at #2500, insurance at #5000, went to the vio office around panti yaba and they said I need to bring the car before they can certify it Road worthy. I just pack my legs and went home, hoping to continue another day.

IMO, Lagos - Oore - Warri - Ughelli - Bayelsa - Port Harcourt is the best route.
@ respondents, it shows he's going by air, he made the post that he's embarking on a journey at 6:58am and says he'll be at the workshop by 10:00am.

Nice one.

The bike is the only solution to traffic robbers.

I hope rule of engagement is defined. The current bike police are only looking for people making calls in their cars and not miscreants.

They will waste your time and collect 3k-5k before leaving you.
