AttN: Those of you in Lagos bragging about your driving skills. The fact that you can move a car from point A to point B, at alarming speeds does not qualify you as a DRIVER. How long you have been driving in Naija is immaterial. Even a blind person can obtain the Naija drivers license. I wonder how those that said they drive with Naija license in Europe and other orderly countries are able to do so without some highway code tutorial?. They must have been a menace to other road users!

There are lots of other requirements for one to be a DRIVER:
. Understanding and obeying traffic signs.
. Understanding road markings- closely dotted lines, spaced lines, full lines...etc.
. Road courtesy- respect for other road users- pedestrians, cyclists, other motor vehicles etc.
. Use of high and low beam- part of road courtesy.
. First aid help/response in the event road accidents.
. etc

Imagine the chaos on our round-abouts and intersections! There are signs on the round-abouts from Lekki to V/I that read GIVE AWAY. Those coming from Lekki do not give way to the vehicles trying to turn towards V/I or to the estates. Total commotion. That road is marked 50km/h. Only Heaven knows the average speed on them.

My advice is: DO NOT attempt driving abroad with your Naija license. Go for tutorials first. Its a whole different experience.
Good luck

Available

Pls how did you get the hard copies? All I've come across are online copies which reqiure some form of subscription

I thinks it's possible to order the hard copy from Hayne's website. Otherwise they are available in auto parts shop. I can get it for you if you wish. You MUST specify the MAKE, MODEL, and YEAR OF MANUFACTURE of your car. Pls do not tell me it is orobo, tiger face, bank type etc. That doesn't make sense outside Nigeria.

The Manual has information on all the Fluids- engine oil, transmission/gear oil, greases, coolant etc..... every relevant info YOU may need. I have three hard copies that have been very useful. Renault Laguna 1994- 2000. Citroen and Nissan Primera 90- 99 models.

Have you made a list of materials you need? What is the power output of the oven you have in mind? Give some details pls. Good luck!

Haynes user manuals will show you a step by step method for fault finding, as well as for remedies. It will tell you 99% of what you need to know about your car. Very useful irrespective of whether you are a novice or a prof. It will turn you to a DIY guy, provided you accept challenges. You will HATE consulting a "mechanic". . Order one for yourself and one for your mother-in-law. She will love you for that.
Hope this helps.

DEAR NON-NIGERIAN READERS.

Note that we Nigerians have a great sense of humor that others may sometimes find difficult to appreciate. Do not interpret this thread literally. The moderator should have redirected it to the joke section. We NIGERIANS read and understand it as a joke. We apologize on behalf of the moderator.

I'm sorry to have quoted u but it's for emphasis. I'm currently working on security of car theft which would be in collaboration with other agencies. Kindly send a prototype of vehicle licence of your country of residence. State also process, requirements etc. In the event of theft, what measures are taken to recover such. Send it (emenunigeria@gmail.com or info@emenunigeria.com.ng). Thanks.

I will happily do that. Give me some time to translate the documents.
I like the initiative.

@Egba girl: Dis no be laf matter . They travel to Europe and America, live and study there, see how things work efficiently, yet do not think about implementing some of their experiences/observations when in office?? John 11:35

@Sultaan:

You will be "super charged" at the check point/station if they can't trace the engine no. of that SUPER CHARGED ENGINE you posted

@ Siena: Good to know. In Norway, it is immaterial cos engine can be replaced. Do you have to amend the papers or get an authorization from the authorities when you change your engine?

Hello, Let me give you something to think about. You have certainly seen workers loading sand onto a tipper or dump truck. They use shovels and spades to fill the truck. This is a tough job and its also time consuming. The job could have been made easier with an excavator or other machinery. Unfortunately,these people cannot afford these expensive machinery.

Can you think of any mechanical construction(design) involving for example pulleys, gears, motors, old parts from scrap vehicles etc that can help these people do their jobs faster without spending much.

Your design should be simple, easy to maintain and effective.

Thanks and good luck:

Thank you guys for your positive and educative contributions so far. The purpose of this thread is first and foremost to enlighten us on the IRRELEVANCE of the engine number, and secondly to challenge us to make individual efforts to acquire some basic information about the automobile we own/use. Lots of free info available on the internet.
I have read many threads on this forum whereby somebody needs help to fix his valued car. When Siena(apropos thanks for your patience ) asks for the technical details, he gets replies such as " Toyota Camry, 05 model , bank type...Honda Accord 02 model orobo, tiny eye etc.
THE MORE INFO YOU HAVE ABOUT YOUR CAR, THE CHEAPER TO MAINTAIN IT.

I am looking forward to read inputs from Nigerians in SUDAN,NIGER,CONGO, BURKINA FASO, TIBET,AFGHANISTAN SOMALIA ETC. I bet they are spared this engine number wahala. Why Nigeria??
NIGERIA WE HAIL THEE.O' YES but not on this issue definitely.

@OGOJOHN: THAT'S THE POINT.THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE.NICE ONE. THOSE OF YOU IN OTHER COUNTRIES KINDLY TELL US WHETHER OR NOT ENGINE NUMBER APPEARS ON YOUR REGISTRATION PAPERS.

@youngchopper:

I can bet that your Pathfinder has high fuel consumption. The thermostat has been removed and the coolant temp sensor(not your engine temperature) is not working. Bros your engine is cold and gradually getting COLD( ITS DYING). It is clearly written on the radiator cover: "Do not open when hot" do you think Nissan is stupid

A good look at most discussions on this forum shows that most of us know very little about the cars we have spent so much to buy. This is because the Licensing Authorities do not request for and or provide the essential technical details of a vehicle during registration.

When a motorist in Nigeria is stopped for Police check, very often you see the Policeman/men peeping, cleaning and almost tearing apart the engine in search for the ENGINE NUMBER. This sometimes happens even at night. Some Policemen do have a piece of chalk. Should the engine number be used as identification How did the Licensing Authorities come about this? Did they learn this from USA,UK, Germany, Japan or France??

The CHASSIS NUMBER(VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER -VIN) is very clearly written on the chassis and also easily accessible. Chassis No.is universally used for vehicle identification. And no two vehicles have the same chassis no.

The engine is simply a part of the vehicle. It can be changed as at any moment just like the seats or wheels. It has become common practice to obtain a POLICE REPORT or something like that when the engine is changed. Why do the Police not ask for a proof of change of colour.

Most of our leaders do travel abroad. Don't they look around and learn?

On my vehicle registration paper ( smaller than a folded A4 sheet) the following TECHNICAL information are available:
NAME OF OWNER
MAKE OF VEHICLE
MODEL
YEAR OF MANUFACTURE
DATE OF REGISTRATION
CHASSIS NUMBER
REGISTRATION NUMBER
TYPE OF ENGINE
TYPE OF FUEL: DIESEL OR PETROL
CAPACITY OF ENGINE IN KILOWATTS/HORSE POWER
STANDARD TYRE DIMENSIONS
LICENSING AUTHORITY

Registration papers in Nigeria hmmmmmm more than a HAND OUT abi BOOK.

I understand the local officials may not be well trained to supply these details. However, it could be made mandatory for all shippers to supply these details for vehicles coming into Nigeria. ALL VEHICLES from Europe and America have these information.

Lets discuss this issue and hope for a change.

Cheers
