Just saw this video online. A passenger plane had landing gear problem. A nissan frontier pickup saved the day which was driven by a mechanic that works at the airport. You wonder how? Watch the video by clicking on the below. The video is too large to attach.

I believe the car most be a stolen car no doubt about it. The first thing she needs to do is to track down seller to be sure she can always get him/her anytime d needs arises. Secondly, get a frsc official and give him/her the car VIN/chasis nos to help check their database if the car was initially registered and possibly the details of owner. Thirdly, get a police officer to help check for signals if d car has been reported stolen before. These checks are necessary cos if the car was actually stolen and was later found with you while you cant produce d seller, you will be in deep SHIT!!! Meanwhile, AWOOF DEY RUN BELLE OOO!!!

@siena and others. I just want to know d reliability of a 2001 VW jetta. Thanks

How to Fix a Leaky Sunroof
Whether it's dripping or gushing water, a sunroof leak can create a mess and damage your car's interior. While you may assume that the rubber seal on your sunroof is damaged and needs repair, oftentimes the culprit isn't the seal at all. Instead, check the tiny holes at the edges of the sunroof seal for clogs.

StepsTips and Warnings
Cleaning Drain Tubes with Air

1
Clean the sunroof trough, located just inside the rubber seal. It is designed to catch water that gets through the sunroof. Wipe it with a cloth to remove any visible debris on the seals and edges of the sunroof.


2
Locate the sunroof drain tubes. These are very small holes, usually at the corners of the sunroof just under the seal.


3
Blast compressed air through the drain tubes located at the base of the sunroof seal. These tubes are designed to carry water that gets through the roof down and out of the car. Tubes can get blocked with dirt and debris over time and need cleaning.


Cleaning Drains with Metal Wire

1
Insert a skinny flexible metal wire in a drain tube. A bicycle brake line works very well to clean sunroof drain tubes -- it is the perfect diameter and has just the right flex to make its way down through the tubes. Clean each drain hole you find near the sunroof base.


2
Twist the wire clockwise and then counterclockwise while pushing it deeper into the drain tube. The wire should move with little resistance through the tube and push any small dirt or debris particles out as it continues.


Take care not to damage the drain tubes with the metal rod. If you feel a lot of resistance even after twisting the metal wire, do not push it any further. If this happens, you will need to have a professional clean the drain tubes.
3
Close the sunroof and pour water over the glass. Check for leaks inside the car. If there are still leaks, proceed to the next step.


Fixing the Seal

1
Look for cracks or jagged edges along the sunroof seal. Some seals will slowly dry out and crack over time due to exposure to extreme hot and cold temperatures.


2
Scan the area around the seal for any pooling water or mold. Some seals will sag or loose their shape, causing water to build up in the seal's trough. When the water pools, it can eventually create holes in the seal.


3
Apply black liquid electrical tape to the seal. Brush a thick layer of the liquid electrical tape on, making sure it covers cover any visible wear. The tape dries to form a protective, waterproof barrier. Press the tape down around the seal. Let it dry following the liquid tape manufacturer's directions.


4
Close the sunroof and pour water over the top again. Check inside the car to see if you still have leaks.


5
Take the vehicle to a professional service provider if you continue to have problems with the sunroof. Leaks that are not associated with the drainage tubes or seals are usually factory flaws that can only be fixed by installing a new sunroof.

Any idea of the price.

At first, I would like to appreciate all those that came up to share their knowledge and experience here on cartalk section educating us on how best to maintain our cars. It was on this forum that I ve learnt a lot about cars especially the one I drive. No mechanic can full me anymore, I will tell them what I observed and advise them on what should be done instead of their trial and error method. I decided to use 5w40 total quartz on my camry as d third service oil since I bought the car last year and I was shock on the impact on my engine within 3days. Firstly, my check engine light that came since my first service went off the 3rd day after servicing. Secondly, my valve seal that was leaking since d first service of the car stopped, no more white smoke after starting d car early in the morning or after being parked for long hours. Finally, my fuel consumption incredibly improved while my engine performance is now astonishing. I advise all to always use the recommended oil for our car service. The recommended oil for my car is 5W30 but decided to go 5W40 cos I didn't ve enough time to get to where I could d oil.

@MOD:
pls take this to front page, so that people can read. it is very interesting and simply the truth.

CONTINUATION:

If the cost of upgrading the facilities gets you remembering the fact that your next house rent is due soon enough, I believe knowing that N8 million will be used to upgrade the zoo at the Villa will get you upbeat about the fact that, if these animals can have their zoo upgraded with N8 million this year, maybe you will one day at least find that amount of money to build your own house. You probably don’t have a car yet or your car is as tattered as the cars of most of the people in government before they got government appointments, don’t be sad about that. N25 million has been dedicated to track the cars in the Presidential fleet. Who wants to go and steal cars in Nigeria’s most guarded Villa? There is a new jet on the way, which will bring the Presidency’s fleet to 11 jets. At that number, if the Federal Government decides to float an airline with those aircraft, they’d immediately be the second biggest airline in Nigeria. Who says we can’t rent jets to African Presidents like Malawi’s Joyce Banda who sold the country’s only presidential jet and about 60 cars? You cannot blame President Joyce Banda for caring about her country’s poor citizens. You cannot exactly say our President does not care either. For instance, the 2014 budget dedicates N76.3 million to the purchase of crested cutlery, flatware and glassware. Whoever says we are no longer the giant of Africa has not been reading up on our 2014 budget.
I will confess to you right away; it was depressing enough to see some line items in the budget, it is even more depressing to remember them all over again just to write this piece. In case your children are wondering whether they will ever see typewriters again, please let them know the Interior Ministry intends to spend N3million on the purchase of typewriters. You would have to agree computers are too mainstream for these ones but do computers even cost up to N3 million? Na wa o. The Ministry of Information will spend N300 million to wash the government’s image in the foreign media during the year. This particular line certainly makes sense considering how much washing the image of our government constantly needs. Something dirty is always going on and the washing needs to meet the rate of the dirtying.
The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adokie, is not left out of the budget bazaar. His ministry will spend N181.3m on uniforms in 2014. You’d have to expect those uniforms to come with gold, diamond and Emerald studs. N1.8 billion was earmarked to connect Bayelsa State to the national grid but alas! Bayelsa was already connected to the national grid almost a decade ago. This N1.8 billion if passed, will not be misappropriated, it will be swallowed altogether. You cannot say all of these absurdities are not in line with the transformation agenda that has since emphasized the government’s commitment to the promotion of impunity and unheralded corruption. Stella Oduah’s Aviation Ministry expects to spend N208 million to plant flowers and trees in the country’s five major airports. This is marginally less than N255 million for two BMW cars so you cannot say things have not improved. They have improved from cars to trees.
So then what will Nigerians do? These are just a few of the absurdities in what has to be the country’s worst budget in decades. Recurrent expenditure has increased, capital expenditure has reduced. Virtually every dime allocated to the former will get spent, this administration has never reached 40 per cent performance level for capital expenditure since coming on board.
The lawmakers will sit over this budget proposal and you would expect them to do the right thing; remove the weeds from this budget. That’d of course mean reducing the National Assembly’s N150 billion allocation. N469 citizens of the National Assembly get to have a bigger budget than 23 Nigerian states of about 120 million Nigerians. If any political party that means well and wants change has any form of representation in our National Assembly, now will be the time to take a stand for the Nigerian people. If they pass the 2014 budget, as dysfunctional and as anti-ordinary Nigerians as it is, we can safely say, whatever political party we vote for, of the current parties represented in the National Assembly, it will still be the same faecal composition of just another bull. Let’s admit it; we the common people of Nigeria need help! These folk are more equal than us.

[b][/b]The Budget: Why Some Animals Are More Equal Than Most Nigerians – Japheth Omojuwa The Budget: Why Some Animals Are More Equal Than Most Nigerians – Japheth Omojuwa

There are over 10.5 million Nigerian children out of school

It may be a New Year but as far as Nigeria’s 2014 budget goes, it is the same old absurdity. If there is anything that stands the 2014 budget proposal out from those of recent years, it is that our budgets are getting better at getting worse. Many New Year resolutions are likely to have been made by Nigerian public officials, easing the burden of poverty on Nigerians is definitely not one of them.
This is not a statement without an empirical background. If the budget is the most important document of a government’s commitment to its people and their well-being, the 2014 budget tells one a lot about where the government’s priorities lie. According to the 2014 budget proposal, the State House will have two animals delivered to it this year for N14.5 million. That’s about N7.25 million for each animal if they come at the same price. At least 80 per cent of Nigerians must understandably be jealous of both animals because 80 per cent of Nigerians don’t have N14.5 million in any form, cash, liquid, in form of animals, properties or whatever. Those animals will come in already richer than most Nigerian citizens. At least one cannot say the government is not committed to animals. All animals may/may not be equal but some animals are definitely more equal than Nigerians. Most Nigerians will never get a chance to look through the windows of Aso Villa, so there will never be a thing about seeing the animals, men and women dine on the same table, let alone see them share a semblance.
While you may never have earned N14.5 million your whole life, two animals will be bought for the entertainment of our President and his friends. The job of a president is a tough one and we must understand that. Marie Francoise Marie-Nelly, World Bank Country Director for Nigeria, said that 100 million Nigerians are living in extreme poverty conditions. The Federal Government has understandably faulted that claim. To emphasise the fact that it does not believe such claims, the government rather than look to unburden these Nigerians from the weight of poverty, has instead dedicated more money towards the continued beautification of the seat of power. You cannot say Aso Rock does not need beautifying. How many Nigerians even know what Aso Rock looks like so how will they even know if the President even lives in a poor environment? To ensure that is not ever the case under this administration, N1.5 billion will be used to upgrade the facilities at Aso Rock villa this year. If you don’t know what Aso Rock looks like, you at least know what N1.5 billion sounds like and if that is what will be used to upgrade Aso Rock this year, you must begin to have an understanding of the worth and look of Aso Rock itself.
