I have a Benz 190 lying idle for the past 5 years and I am thinking of swapping the engine with a Volvo 2.5 engine.
I want to know if this is a good idea as I find Volvo cars more reliable.

That kind of surgery is very risky o. Why not get a tokunbo engine of that car and fix if you still want to enjoy the car? Better still, sell it off, there are people that will appreciate this car better than you.
chronique: I'm currently in a very bad situation right now with a technician I trusted and relied on. I met him on Nairaland many years ago and have fixed a few cars requiring minor fixes(legs) with him.
If you dont move your car out of his workshop on time, he will start removing parts from your car to fix other people's car. If he doesn't remove parts from it, his colleagues who have seen your car stranded with him for so long will secretly be harvesting parts from your car to fix others. Find every means to remove your car either by force or by fire.
reverendfather: Guys the car looks very clean, but these issues (I'm a car novice), is it something related to the engine? Should I even bother telling him to drive it down to my office on Monday or just let it go?
The car in question is a peugeot 407, 2008 model. I was going to get a camry 08 before but I had to support my kid bro with financing his japa to Canada. I should have enough cash by early January of next year. Is the Peugeot 407 2008 a good bargain with the above minor problems at 1.1m or would you recommend i go for the Honda civic 2006 at 1.6m?
I will advise that you dont rush to buy a car so that you will not rush to resell the car. Why not wait till that January when you will have enough to buy a car you will be sure about. Peugeot are very sensitive and any wrong electrical repair will make the car become epileptic. Get the Honda Civic if you see one in good condition and thank me later. NB: Whatever the car you decide to buy, go with a technician to check and scan the car for error codes and professional advice.
Tectonics: My DC 2007 leaks transmission fluid when I'm driving . Mechanic says it is leaking at the top of the transmission just under the battery, that he will use 1000 naira gum to stop the leakage. Please I need advice as I don't know if ordinary 1000 naira gum can solve this problem. Does anyone have similar experience or know about how this leakage be permanently solved or will the gum work as suggested by my mechanic. It only leaks out when engine is hot, when parked to cool, the fluid doesn't leak out
dedons: Please I need the opinion of experts. A friend of mine who stays in another city is about to sell his Dodge charger 2007 model car to me at a giveaway price because he is relocating abroad.
Please how good is the car and is it problematic and economical?
I await the response of our pros.
Thank you.
If what you wrote is true, how come you did not ask your FRIEND about his car but you come here to ask strangers that have never used the car before? Your seller friend is the best person to tell you about the car he wants to sell to you, nobody else.
jeromestarks: After just 12 years of joining the civil service, the guy became permanent secretary. (Joined Lagos civil service in 2003, became permanent secretary in 2015). How?
Your sense should have told you that he joined as a senior officer, not as a messanger with SSCE result.
dammyllare: Continue lying to yourself, bring it near my dua vvti v4 2010 highlander if I won't give you 500m ahead and still dust you on a trip to IB
Yours is an SUV, tyre size/height also has speed advantage. just like when a short man and tall man are walking side by side, due to his long legs the tall man has a wider strides and tends to walk faster than the short man.
Is there any iota of true love when a couple is making love together and the wife places her two hands to cover her breasts so that the husband could not have access to them and also put her face away to avoid kissing her man?
This is about to cause separation in a marriage. Opinion please.
This is one of the most hilarious posts I've ever read here. Well, it depends on the situation around the wife. It can be understandable if she is a virgin that just got married, or if she is naturally the shy type, or if she is ashamed that her breasts are too small. Also, is the husband having a bad breath or mouth odour? If the answer to all of these questions are Capital No, then she does not have any love for her husband.
Chai, so these people are not only into baby factory business, they have now diversified into organ harvesting? My condolences to the family of the poor girlfriend.
HenryWilliams: They kept drumming the ethnic beats.. Now that the dance has stopped. Let's see how they'll escape this. That region . So fond of tribalism. Any small thing .. it's because we're Igbo.. If this were to be a non igbo individual.. it won't have generated this much fervor and case would have died down cos other tribes don't celebrate such obvious deception. Let them conduct deeper investigation.. t's a fake result.. punish her and her handlers with serious jail time.. I hear she's 19.. no longer a minor. Imagine at 19, aiding, abetting forgers just to get recognition and possible endorsement and scholarship from people especially Igbo people.. Once they make it a us vs them thing. The Igbo pride and ego will automatically activate and one dumb Igbo millionaire somewhere eager to show off and trend will rise to the occasion.
And one yeye igbo barrister that calls himself Johnmary have the audacity to challenge JAMB to a litigation, stating that an apology should be tendered and compensation should be given to the scammer girl, imagine! That stupid law chamber should be closed down, its founders should be banned from practicing and its signatories should be sued and fined for at least N200m with monthly interest by the Court to serve as deterrence to other bigot charge-and-bail lawyers whose reasonings are only based on illogical sentiments.
Highways: She's still a girl child... Even if she committed the crime, it's unprofessional to come at her in public and call her fraud.... Her image deserves to be hidden.... JAMB needs to be sued
JAMB needs to be sued for protecting their image but the girl that is parading a questionable result printed on an outdated result sheet should be compensated, right?
