Cumrade, you didn't just shift the goal post, you moved an entire stadium.

Valtteri:
Good evening all.

Which is better to get, a Ford Edge (2011 - 2013) or an Infiniti FX35 (2010 - 2012)?

Please give reasons in terms of fuel economy, availability of parts, power, durability, resale value, etc?

Thank you in advance.

P.S No recommendations for Totoya/Honda abeg.

dangoteinlaw:
Ford is highly reliable. Nisan with their gearbox issues

Dracoe:
Please who can recommend a very good Lexus auto repair shop. My RX350 got into an accident and the front is badly damaged. I am thinking of using Briscoe motors but I heard it is quite expensive.
Can anyone please recommend an autorepair shop for me.
I would really appreciate.

salamudeen:

frowland:
Omo, you studied mechanical engineering? The above analysis doesn’t sound like road side mech to me. No mind me sha.

GboyegaD:
Does it mean I could ask my mechanic or can it be done during general servicing?

Itsrm:
It's a terrible situation to be in.

If the vehicle was for sale and he had cleared it, na to begin type available, available like hubcruz till 2027.

Who will use 5m to buy a 2004 c240 when you can add 1m and buy a 2012 C300/350.

HeavenlyBang:
Instead of buying a crappy Range Rover, buy a 4runner and a GLE.

Or just buy a Lexus LX, lmao. Why put yourself through all of this nonsense?

sooperrescue:
Scientifically proven. A Corolla can not use the same oil with a Range Rover. There's oil for Toyota from Castrol and it's called motor oil while the one for Range Rover is called advanced full synthetic oil with guarantee of 20000 miles. Mobil now created a special oil for Toyota Honda and Nissan so that dem nor go do pass themselves. If a Corolla 2005 is using 5w30 and an Evoque 2018 is using 5w30 engine oil, is it possible to use the same extended performance oil on the Corolla? Think am well

CjEmmar:
Boss it's sad that I reside in Lagos, can you recommend anyone in Lagos for me.

sooperrescue:
Red and green coolant. First it’s on a Rangerover. Second, what type of coolants are they selling at petrol stations ? Third, the owner confirmed that he used the green coolant on the red already in the car. Like you confirmed with your post, it will destroy the head gasket. So imagine the cheap coolant being sold locally on a V6 supercharged of a Rangerover, you will get a volcanic eruption in the engine and that was what happened

cmoney22222:
Oh Thaks boss. So I need to replace headlamp be that ooo. Okay, I think over it. Thanks again boss

cmoney22222:
Yes boss

Persephone1:
Lies... Do you receive It? Average is 12.5

Is a 5.5 inches penis good enough? I'm just curious. What is considered the standard PR below standard

Timagex:
Wait, who chop the head rest?

adeniranfam:
Why do people say negative things about vehicles they have never used for once. That was how one person gave bad review on honda accord 2005 and to my surprise i enjoyed the car to the fullest. People are just erractic.

sooperrescue:
I had a 2015 V6 that we overhauled. The owner was driving with coolant level low and decided to buy coolant and immediately he added green coolant to the red one inside and the engine knocked after five minutes of driving.

cmoney22222:
Hello Goodmorning.. my 2014 Honda Accord stripe led light has never come on before, does any one know abi this pls?

CjEmmar:
Good morning all, I drive a 2004 Honda Accord four plug, I have tried all I could to clear P0443 code to no avail, I have also changed the EVAP canister completely, but the code still keeps coming up, please what do I do.

oluwaseunla:
This particular model carries the VQ35DE engine, which is actually not bad, and it's reasonably reliable too.

Balistic4:
hello guys, what's your take on 2011 lexus es vs 2015 accord v6?

adubam:
Oga Gazuzz, Kingreign well-done Boss. My Reverves Light on dashboard is constantly on even when you put it in Drive, Park when this comes up there's this Motor Car image that also display with it.
The gear engages fine including the Reverse gear.

What could be wrong?

Thank you.

mashnino:

The debate was that the USA spec is better... Now the export version sold in Nigeria , can it compete favourable with the ones built for the USA market.....

You need to understand that the USA Auto market is a very competitive market .

Due to the competitiveness foreign Auto manufacturer have to make sure they are building the best cars to compete in the USA.. They are sending the best of their best for the USA market....

This is why u hear that certain cars are been discontinue in the USA market, but they are been sold or even doing better in other countries..

So many factors comes to play in this scenario.. But it also boils down to money and profitability of the vehicle ....


Now we do have a some exceptions to the rule .. .. BMW , Toyota, Benz .. These car manufacturers do make certain cars or better yet assemble cars in the USA . They have factories all over USA. And also they are import into the USA .......

The cars that are imported to the USA compare to the ones assembled in the USA . They are of better quality engine wise and have less recall issues ...... The reasons for these is that it is easier to get parts and monitor quality control...

The ones assembled in the USA their parts are usually source from Mexico and other near by countries .. This is why at times you see alot of recall on certain cars ..........

Obascoetubi:
HOW ARE THEY UPGRADING CARS?

dru23:
USA spec cars has better safety features... And yes have heard of them ..... I believe the JDM engine are the ones more than likely are sold by Dana Motors......

Now the reliability of the USA spec engine is actually above average.. What else do u want from a car , plus safety is included ..............


Most of these Hyundai sold by Dana Motors in Nigeria will not pass the USA safety test..

Now back to the guy looking for a compressor .. If I decide to get him a a/c compressor brand new from the USA . chances are it might not be compatible or fit properly with his 1.4liter engine .....

Now from experience few years ago .. A customer requested for an a/c compressor for her 2014 hyundai Tucson .. She bought the car brand new in Nigeria from Dana Motors.........
We had to match the compressor part number to the ones in the USA.. Once the part was ordered the only issue was that the compressor could nit fit properly .. A mechanic had to construct additional space for the compressor to fit properly.........

Keep in mind same car , same year, but different engine

GAZZUZZ:
Ever heard of JDM?
