Exactly but none of your Igbo state can still measure up to the Lagos Zoo, can we now agree that your leaders, your fathers included are lunatics that they can not overtake Lagos with no development while you have been developing at full throttle.
grin lagos that had the advantage of once being a nation's capital and lagos is already falling behind when compared to some other states that used to be ancient relics. Lagos didn't have bad traffic or thugs now they do and that's 2 steps backwards, when they say lazy youths I saw lots of in lagos especially Mushin, Lagos wasn't like that. Not to mention bad roads, cost of accommodation why is lagos losing companies to Ogun state and others?
2 to 3 years from now uac will move from Ojota, they're already constructing at Ogun state, I believe PZ and Cadbury also plan relocation. where is bata, Guinness HQ, Dunlop and Michelin?

Aes barge that supported egbin power plant has moved to my city. Lagos is folding up. So continue clapping for yourself like the story of the tortoise and the hare.

It didn't work when 4 girls tried that on me at 15. I was actually crying when they held me down. My mind no dey so my pen!s was as flaccid as a piece of cloth. But if they tried it now it's gonna be a slaughter.

MayB you should read what I wrote properly. first and foremost, I'm not a Mechanic rather I am an End user of Range rover, I DO NOT FIX O NE I DRIVE ONE< however for my own sanity I bought an SDD laptop to fix minor glitches.
Are u seriously trying to show off cuz u got urself a Scan device? Really? undecided. Omo guy ur matter dry. Any one with DIY interests will definitely get the tool he need to get stuff working. I didn't have to be a mechanic to have automotive skills all the same the workshop improved my knowledge. You must have being disappointed in urself when i understood ur terms. grin. Expected me to blab about the wrong sh!t then u bring out the ONE from the THOSE . cheesy
I never did a scan on a range but having an idea or clue is how the knowledge began. Lol. A piece of knowledge is better than no knowledge at all. Best part is studied EE yet my job is mainly mechanical. Great right wink

Its like back in the day we got sp flash tool and xs++. I felt like super man but no one really gave a sh!t. I just did my thing.

Ur Misson/intention has FAILED

Was this not where you claimed you fix Range rovers? at the Bolded
Im ONE of those. I really dont know what u've been smoking but it seems u didn't read the sentence na only ONE u see, yet u boldly highlighted a full sentence. See ur life? U sure say the beer wen u drink never expire? Understand English. Or maybe the scan tool is what u used to take out bolts. grin

And yes I used wrenches on a range rover before and been successful with it. That doesn't change the fact that the range rover is a fuckeen money pit. I aint the only dude here that's mentioned such.
U are quite fortunate cuz u do most diy. I own a vehicle for 5 years. Never broken down never seen the 4 walls of any workshop. Cuz i engage DIY too and my case is so extreme, I have a fuel vaporizer attached to my intake and adjusted my VAF to lean, fan clutch to electric fans, cat and EGR delete Making a natural aspirated 4.0l gain almost 6mpgs with an improved 0-60 at around improved 9secs from 16sec. U said overheating caused oil leaks and blown gasket. As for oil leaks NOT LIKELY maybe in yours though, u could do a gasket delete, increase compression and gain up to 10/15hp. U gotta explore more not just fix with ur doddle. Don't just limit yourself to oem spec. Advance them.

My next input is a digital thermostat. I thought of amot valves but those can fail we use em on the Cummins QSV91 (phase 2) engines and those valves fail like crazy.

When you come enter bike or Keke people around the neighbourhood will be wondering why you do not drive your range rover.You go even dey uncomfortable.
Cars like that range rover cannot be repair by a roadside mechanic.Na computer dem dey use detect the fault and if you drive am to a repair workshop you go first pay #20k as registration before dem go open the car.The #20k is not part of the repair.
Aswear, owning a car as that is a problem not enjoyment because by the time the car get fault and mechanic bill you,you go begin get depression.

Ok if you do not have SDD how do you fix Range rovers then as the SDD is generic and developed for land Rover and Jaguar cars ONLY
Pleas tell us huh huh huh angry angry
Oga this one wen u just dey scramble wetin I no talk so. Reminds me of GNS 301 encoder, transmission means and decoder. But you just scrambling the whole damn thing.

I'll repeat this again cuz it seems that your eyes are seeing one thing and your brain is telling u another. Its clearly written in text and not a complex optical illustration.

I hope its bold enough for u to see

I never mentioned using a scan tool did I? DID I? PLEASE IDENTIFY WHERE ITS STATED IN MY PREVIOUS COMMENT huh huh sad angry

With that being said, my services usually come in AFTER the scan has taken place its More on the physical approach, you know wrenching stuff out. Bla bla bla.

I never did scans via JLR with ur said IDS or SDD u previously mentioned during my years in a maintenance workshop. Even at my current designation I don't use the INSITE software (Cummins) to diagnose for dtcs, there's someone assigned to that task just as I'm assigned to mine I do the wrenching if the dtc can't be cleared and we all work together to achieve 1 common goal, maybe u don't have a team like i do. wink

I'm still curious to how lagos got messed up so bad. I grew up there and lagos used to be amazing. Every other city was a village when compared to lagos. Now lagos is more like a zoo with crap at every corner. How the hell did it happen

Bro saying Range rovers are money pit is equal to saying Beer is Bitter, who are the ones amongst them school or thought if you fix RRS as you claimed can I please see the SDD tool you use then huh huhcos I have never seen you on the RRS thread
I never mentioned using a symptom driven diagnostic to map out DTCs any where in my comment did I? And you're right. The first time I took a sip of Guinness I couldn't swallow had to spit it out haven't tried it ever since. I don't do beer, palm wine is preferable.

U probably haven't seen me on ih8mud, nicoclub, yotatech or clublexus. Its not like I'll put my face by my moniker and NO I'm not on your RRS thread

well I am talking from personal experience you are talking from hear say, like I said, mine still has its balloons intact check the cost of a range rover in the Uk and the cost of rx in the uk if you are talking resell values.200K miles?? omg this one off me
You have not even told us what cars you are comparing it to.Cos from Toyota, to Honda to Mercedes and Nissan, they all have balloons so what's peculiar about the range rover's balloon, You are talking of Oil leak really? once your car over heats your gaskets goes and you will have Oil leak now how is this limited to just range rovers?
Dude you experience the problems. I'm one of those that tackle the problems you experienced and fix them. So take it easy. I never disagreed with other cars having balloons. I'm just saying range rover is a money pit. Also not all vehicles experience oil leak due to over heating. You really are misinformed. Yes most cars have a blown head gasket. It's why there are mods for that. Even if your temp hits the 'H' your gasket won't get blown. Ever heard of gasket delete? It's not a hear say. It's what I currently use and been using for year on my vehicle. I did it myself. As for your precious defence on range rovers. Oga na we dey fix am. Not just cars any r stroke engine. LNG Gensets OR GAS turbine. Na we dey run am. So it's not hear say. Its more like FEEDBACK

I read it very well, what you did not understand or comprehend was that all the listed cars up there have balloons so in theory the problems of balloons failing is not limited to just Range Rover. I bought my range rover brand new 2012,I shipped it to Nigeria 2018, it still uses the same balloon that it came with but the RX my Dad uses has had balloon problems already. My Cozen got the GLC his balloon gone off already and its a 2014.REmind us again of the faults in Range rovers?
You're stuck on balloons, even the durable gx470 that's far more durable has got ballons. And many owners switch to springs. Same with the range rover.

On any customer review and fault feedback the air suspension is usually the first to go, then there's oil leaks before the electricals.

Not all cars are the same. They may have air suspension too but they don't go out like the range rover.
U say your balloons didn't go out good for u. Sounds like someone with a navigator claiming he does an oil change once a year cuz he barely covers 100miles on it per year. He drives around his yota and uses his Lincoln only on special occasions. Its always sitting in the garage.

So quit the story about the rx suspension giving out. Every wondered why the range rover has a poor resell value?

It takes a miracle for a range rover to exceed 200k miles. But the yotas usually exceed 300k easy before a major maintenance. Even the shitty 2AZ

Travel › Re: Why Did You Leave Lagos? by gonkin(m): 1:45pm On Apr 05, 2022
I was raised in lagos. Lagos was good during my youth years. Then the express was filled with cars on high speed till brt came and caused current traffic. Lagos was really cool. Then I left to complete my HND in delta. At first I didn't like the idea of migration, I was always boasting about lagos. When I returned during fashola 2nd tenure I spotted lots of differences. Traffic was hell, dirt all over and the air didn't seem fresh like it used to.
Its was still better then. Now e don worse. Lastma, holdup, abgero(owo da). I hate driving in lagos one day I drove from sheraton to computer Village with a flat tyre. Fear no let me part change am.
Cost of rent is another dimension. I currently live in delta, my rent is 180k for a self contain with lots of cool features (large parking space, fully fenced, water heater, mighty wardrobe and is located in a cool civilised area. Just imagine Maryland with modern houses. If its lagos for a house like that will cost around 360 to 500k.

Any time I visit lagos I always can't wait to leave cuz its a hell hole. Life is complex and expensive. I find it hard to believe its the same lagos u grw up. Person dey lag dey earn pass me but the wahala of Lagos made me look like i earn more than he does. And the traffic is worse. U can't have a flat tyre and have peace of mind. Where I am if u have a flat tyre there's always some passer by thats willing to assist but for lagos just park to receive call (owo da) boys will storm u with threats. Lagos is fuucked

You are wrong, some parts are cheaper than Toyota, ie the rear brake pads, I know you will come up like others about the ballons, but guess waht, all modern SUV has them, the Mercs, the Audis, Lexuses etc
The balloons are usually the first to go that's why they are usually replaced with manual coil springs shocks. Range rover brain box costs over 200k, that's one the cheap side. And that thing crashes along. Some benz ecu costs as high as half a million but they don't crash as much as the range

Interesting. Do you own or have owned one?
U hardly see them at roadside mechos. Its usually the advanced mechanics. I have an uncle that owns one. He just parked it aside. Different complains. I also have a friend that owned but sold his. Nothing about the range rover costs less than 25k. Software, sensor. Bla bla bla

While there is nothing wrong in buying and owning a car, cars are meant to serve so purpose not just to impress the society......

If you look around major Mechanic workshops you will see many parked vehicles of different varieties with so left for so long due to inability to afford the maintenance costs......no winder, the scrap dealers are cashing out from there


See how a whole Range Rover is humiliated in my neighbourhood'.
Owning a range rover is like owning problem. The wahala no dey finish. Infact anytime i see someone driving a rangerover I usually pity. That motor if e start with u, u go know say some problems pass nigeria own

Itz a freaking money pit. Parts are also freaking expensive. Its has this domino effect. One problem leads to another. U fix one another pops up. U gotta have money to own one and that won't still guarantee its durability.

I dont have one but when I did, I kind of studied her. Women don't like being wrong a girl I even dated had the habit of quarrelling but as a quiet guy that never raises my voice at women I walk away or ignore. Some ladies are built for such that if they intentionally provoke a partner but the partner is the quiet type the become more restless.

Im no expert on women but silent treatment always worked for me. I no get power
