Please can somebody explain why the Diamond orders below are not being matched? Is there something I am missing?

Mpeace:
I don enter Diamond bank. Fingers crossed. I hate this stock but make I just enter see whether e go do FBNH.

There must be something going on in Diamond. As I watched few minutes ago, millions of units got zapped in an instant. More than 63M traded so far

Bishop:
Abeg this grammar is too much ..., while car is at idle position or at park position would have been ok. cheers

No, it means being parked flat, not inclining in any way.

APRIDE:
Very simple bro. I had that same issue with my toyota corolla 2005 model and i got it resolved within minutes. It is the speed sensor. It has nothing to do with the oil or gear box. It is simply an electrical problem. Contact this number for immediate solution 08067880750. The guy is a qualified Engineer.

The code he has is NOT speed sensor.

@Glurssymum, rodents may have feasted on your car's electrical wires while you were away. Get a good tech to fix that first. If your ATF is already black, changing it might conk out the transmission finally. Should fixing the solenoid electrical fix your problem, drive it like that until you are ready for a proper transmission rebuild or replacement.

If I am in a strange town and need to refuel, I look for a fuel station where commercial bus drivers and okada are buying from. Have never been wrong.

Your TC never locks up in 1st and 2nd, so that should not be the problem. Its hard to guess what the problem​ is, based on your description. Have a competent tech look at it.

what fucjery is this? Ordinary roads we never fit build... Abeg post things relevant to Nigeria biko

Did you see the last line of that post?

By 2030, you probably won’t own a car, but you may get a free trip with your morning coffee. Transport-As-A-Service will use only electric vehicles and will upend two trillion-dollar industries. It’s the death spiral for cars.

A major new report predicts that by 2030, the overwhelming majority of consumers will no longer own a car – instead they will use on-demand electric autonomous vehicles.

By 2030, within 10 years of regulatory approval of autonomous electric vehicles (A-EVs), the report says, 95 per cent of all US passenger miles traveled will be served by on-demand, autonomous, electric vehicles that will be owned by fleets rather than individuals.

The provision of this service may come virtually free as part of another offering, or a corporate sponsorship. Imagine, for instance, paying a token sum for a ride into town after buying a latte for $4.50. Or getting a free ride because the local government has decided to make transport easier.

TAAS choice

The report, by RethinkX, an independent think tank that focuses on technology-driven disruption and its implications across society, says this stunning and radical will be driven entirely by economics, and will overcome the current desire for individual car ownership, starting first in the big cities and then spreading to the suburbs and regional areas.

This disruption will have enormous implications across the transportation and oil industries, decimating entire portions of their value chains, causing oil demand and prices to plummet, and destroying trillions of dollars in investor value, not to mention the value of used cars.

At the same time it will create trillions of dollars in new business opportunities, consumer surplus and GDP growth.

Lead consultant and co-author Tony Seba, who specialises in disruptive technologies. His early forecasts for the enormous uptake of solar where considered crazy, but were proved right, and he has since said that new technologies will make coal, oil and gas all but redundant by 2030).

He says while the report focuses on the US, the forecasts are valid for Australia too, because the transportation industry is global. And he warns that the car you buy now may well be your last.

“This is a global technology disruption. So yes, this applies to Australia,” Seba tells RenewEconomy. “And this is going to happen despite governments, not because of governments.

“Furthermore, the disruption will start in cities with high population density and high real estate prices – think Sydney and Melbourne then Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide – and quickly radiate out to the suburbs, the smaller cities, and then rural areas.”

Indeed, there are some people who are starting to anticipate this change, considering Australian-based business models and even local manufacturing, such as those revealed on Monday by Michael Molitor, the head of a new company called A2EmCo.

Seba does not say that individual car ownership will completely disappear. By 2030, 40 per cent of cars will still be privately owned, but they will only account for 5 per cent of kilometres traveled.

Autonomous cars will be used 10 times more than internal combustion vehicles were, they will last longer – maybe one million miles (1.6 million km) – and the savings will inject an additional $1US trillion into the pockets of Americans by 2030.

Seba admits that his forecasts are hard to digest. But what he sees in the transition to autonomous EVs from privately owned petrol cars is the same he has seen for all other major transitions: what he calls the 10x opportunity cost.

It happened with the printing press, it happened with the first Model T – it cost the same as a carriage and two horses, but offered 10x the horsepower.

“Every time we have had a ten x change in technology, we had a disruption. This is going to be no different.”

And that change, he says, will happen on day one of level 5 autonomous EVs obtaining regulatory approval. “Basically, the day that autonomous vehicles are regulatory accepted, transport-as-a-service will be 10 cheaper than cost of new vehicles,” he says. And four times cheaper than the cost of already owned vehicles.

Why is this? Because everything will be cheaper.

Like his predictions on the rise of solar, and the sudden decline of fossil fuels, Seba’s calculations are driven by simple economics. Within few years, the upfront costs of AEVs will match those of petrol cars. But the depreciation costs will be minimal, because the cars, owned by fleets, will “last a lifetime”.

Maintenance costs will be significantly lower – thanks to 20 moving parts in the powertrain compared to 2,000 for petrol cars – and the miles travelled significantly higher; they will be doing 1.6 million km by 2030, more than five times more than petrol cars.

TAAS economics

Moreover, battery technology will improve, needing to be replaced only once, and old batteries will be able to used elsewhere (in the power grid). The cost of maintenance will be one-fifth the cost of current cars, the cost of finance one tenth, and the cost of insurance also one tenth.

“The survival of car manufacturers will depend on building cars with long lifetimes and low operating costs. This means that they will optimise for minimum waste of resources in building and operating vehicles, including designing vehicle platforms with parts that are interchangeable and recyclable.”

The report outlines the huge benefits from this transformation. Unclogging city roads, removing the pollution that is choking major cities, savings millions of lives from accidents and trillions of dollars in health impacts, and freeing up parking space.

We often forget about the health impacts of fuel cars. In 2015 in the OECD alone, outdoor air pollution lead to $US1.7 trillion annual economic cost from premature deaths. According to the World Health Organisation, 1.25 million people died from road traffic accidents around the world in that year, and another 50 million were severely injured.

“Autonomous vehicles will be safer than human drivers, leading to a decrease in road traffic accidents,” the report says. Although, to be sure, any such accidents caused by faulty software rather than humans will create huge controversy

The nature of the vehicles may also change – with a range of two-person, four-person, eight-person and even bigger vehicles in heavy population areas.

It will also have an impact on geopolitics – with the world no longer dependent on oil reserves for the bulk of its transportation needs. This will benefit big transport fuel importers like Australia.

The “politics of lithium,” meanwhile, are completely different to the politics of oil. Lithium is plentiful, although it needs planning to ensure that the mines are in place to extract it, and its demand can be reduced by recycling. Alternatives can be found for cobalt, currently found mostly in countries such as Democratic republic of Congo.

TAAS salesSeba recognises that most people assume that the biggest impediments to this scenario are behavioral issues such as love of driving, fear of new technology, or just habit. The cost savings, the speed, the increased safety and the extra free time will be key factors.

But he says that what he calls “pre-TaaS” companies such as Uber, Lyft and Didi have also invested billions of dollars developing technologies and services to overcome these issues. In 2016, these companies drove 500,000 passengers per day in New York City alone.

“That was triple the number of passengers driven the previous year. The combination of TaaS’s dramatically lower costs compared with car ownership and exposure to successful peer experience will drive more widespread usage of the service.

“Adopting TaaS requires no investment or lock-in. Consumers can try it with ease and increase usage as their comfort level increases. Even in suburban and rural areas, where wait times and cost might be slightly higher, adoption is likely to be more extensive than generally forecast because of the greater impact of cost savings on lower incomes.

“As with any technology disruption, adoption will grow along an exponential S-curve.”

KoffiDis:
Hello, I have a 2003 Toyota Camry V6. It has a 1MZ-2FE engine and the gear is bad. First it started with giving a loud thumping sound when decelerating. I have taken it around for over 3 years to various mechanics with no solution. Recently the car became very sluggish and does not pick up smartly. In addition it doesn't seem to go past the 2nd or 3rd gear. I went to Ladipo and those guys said I need a new gear box! The 13pin that comes with the car is very expensive and they offered to convert to a 10pin. I'm scared about what the outcome would be. How does the rebuild sound and what are the cost implications. I'd be happy to answer any questions that would help diagnose the issue and provide solution. I don't have money for another car yet. Please help. Thanks

Have you scanned the car? There are many problems external to the transmission that can cripple it. First, determine what error codes you have, and see what the computer is commanding.

I am not a fan of using wrong transmissions; it can get you killed!

shotuns:
My ogas at the top, I need your help, advice on my car transmission.
I recently changed both engine and transmission on my 2002 dodge durango, reason being that oil change period is more than required. Bought a wrong fliter from Ladipupo through a friend, i noticed this during the oil change so therefore unable get another but to use the old filter, the mechanic changed the oil and return back the oid filter. The same day after the oil change , I noticed the transmission won't engage in D. We left the car running up to about 40 minutes and tried again, then it engaged D including all shifters.
The car left the shop and went straight home, on the way home it started making this noise but we couldnt figure out why. On the seond day to the church and came back still same noise. Then decided to check the oil level and do a simple check then noticed that filter screw head has broken off. and some oil dripping down on the floor where it was parked, It is either the mechanic tighten the filter to hard or wrongly, I cant really say but since then series of problem have started. My brother find a means to get another screw head and retighted the filter and added some oil, The car was test driven again and no noise was heard this time, all gears shifts was okay and smooth.
2 days later , about to drive the car out, the dash board showed all shifter lights PRDN12 on at the same time, it move on d but wont reverse, I immediately contacted Mr Gazzuz and he gave me a simple diagnose to look for the P/N switch, clean, salvage both connectors well and try it again.Thanks to Mr Gazzuz. We search everywhere for the switch, located one at the base of the transmission, pulled it out and turn on the car , only 'R' light came on this time. We cleaned the switch inside out and plug it back in but still all lights on, I was guessing it isnt the actuall switch. And till now I havent located any other switch, I've searched online to the best of my knowledge, still dont know exactly where it is.
Then again the worst of it all , i started smelling burnt gear oil, this realy scared me and dont know what to do. I tried finding a mechanic to help scan, till today couldnt find any in the whole of Abeokuta. I am tired.. Please GURU in the house. what should i do
It's been over a month now, and searched for a mechanic to help scan my tranny but suprisingly couldnt find one and still left in the dark on what to do..
cc kashif, kingreign , autowiz ,gazzuz,

It was difficult taking out the symptoms you are facing.

You need to find somebody who can scan the vehicle for you. It is a good starting point. Burnt oil perceived could be coming from oil touching hot engine/transmission part.

Shalom.

ironheart:
Hello kashif, been following your thread for a while and i feel proud to know you have been quite diligent with this.

I took my car to Apo mechanic village Abuja for some job to be done, its a 1999 toyota corona manual gear box. When the job was done, out of curiosity, i ask the mechanic to drain the oil from the gear box and i was surprised about 5 table spoon of oil came out.

Lucky me you can say. The mechanic said i should tke it to some to fill it up for me, when i got there, he was not around and out of curiosity, i asked his boiz what type of oil they use. He said grease mixed with transmission fluid.


My brother i weak. Now my question. Whats the rationale behind that mix? I know grease does not transmit or take away heat very well.

I need the experts to discuss this.

Cc gazzuzz, kingreign, honmusa, cardoctor

They mix grease and atf to 'achieve' the fluid viscosity recommended.

dan6019:
I have a landcruiser Prado, AWD, 2001. My problem is with the Auto transmission. I have just replaced the ATF thinking it is the cause of the problem because it got burnt. When the gear is in D or R, it behaves as if it is in Neutral, engine revvs high and no movement.

What do I do? I am scared of replacing the transmission, as you can hardly get a functional one without any problem. I may need to get this one checked and rebuilt, my concern is the expert to handle it. Can anyone recommend one. I am in Lekki, Lagos.

Thanks

Was any repair carried out before this started?

Do you have movement in any manual range - 1, 2?

I have said it several times that changing ATF DOES NOT solve transmission problems. It may help if a wrong fluid is used, and needs to be taken out quickly.

Get a mechanic with a capable scanner to check of you have input speed signal in the transmission. If you do, then that rules out the torque converter. If not, replace the TC. I will look at the clutch application chart latter to find a common denominator, but with the burnt ATF (caused by burnt clutches/brakes), you may need a rebuild.

Are there code(s)?

What is your engine size? Trying to determine the health of your MAF sensor.

Your LTFT is low. Means your engine is either getting too much fuel or not burning completely - ignition coil problems.

Hello Car Dr. & car Gurus in the house. I own a Nissan Altima 2003 S model. Whenever i change gear from P to R or to D or from D to R, the car jerks. Changing from N to D is worst! The jerking is more pronounced when I've driven the car for about 45mins to 1 hr. I'm not short of oil and the engine seats aren't bad.

Please how do i fix this problem?

My mechanic recently suggested that i get the gear serviced by just draining the oil, cleaning all dirts and putting fresh oil. But I'm afraid this could do more harm than good.

Please advise.

How will he go about the bolded?

You are likely having high internal pressure. Your mechanic can turn the pressure solenoid counter clockwise 90 to 180 degrees, to see if it helps.

You will not understand what I am saying until you use a professional scanner. Show me any scanner in that your DIY league that can graph or scope. Any that can record a movie? The link above is for an anonymous "scanner". Funny.

With all you know, if you take your car to a dealership and they pull any of those toys, will you allow them work on it?

ehe The reason Im laughing is cos scanners are being sold as low as N4k, U say homuch to scan again

No scanner is even sold for 50k. You mistake a code-reader for scanners. Ever heard about live data and movies?

Death can be due to Electrical or Mechanical faults or negligence, please bolden and emphasize mechanical death as enumerated as our selling point and source of neo-monopolistic power of our claims. When you have a knocked engine, that leads to immobility of your “wheels” this consequently bring about MECHANICAL DEATH. That, my brother is what we claim to revive. A pediatrician cannot claim to do the work of a gynaecologist, albeit they are both doctors. They specialize, so do we.

Hope you get my drift?

Absolutely.

king406:
The airmatic suspension was a nightmare on the w211 V8, on the w212 though, it seems to be more durable, but it also fails and when the so called 'balloon' breaks, you are looking for about almost 200k each. So to be on the safe side i think you should trade power for ur peace of mind. as you've stated the w204 suffers from EIS failure but i havent seen or heard any horror stories about the transmission. Note that the airmatic suspension only comes with the v8 engines, that is E500 and E550. In my opinion i think those engines are too much for nigerian roads. I advice you to go with the E350 which comes with normal shocks and also enjoy that comfort and luxury. I'm planning on going that same route too.

I agree with you. Just normal tear and wear failure, like any other auto tranny. But when it does fail, load up with $$$$$$

Majidmuhammad:
I changed my gear box last November, while returning from church today discovered that my transmission refused to engage especially when put in reverse, after a while drive engaged but disengages occasionally. What do you think the problem is?


NB: Guaged transmission fluid and it's in the right range.

Was any repair/modification carried out on the car recently?
