Peugeot 406 2.0 phase 2.
Engine replacement. Old engine lost compression and couldn't perform properly. Hence the need to change the engine. However, I met another obstacle in this car - the wiring harness, it was really spliced, cut, frayed and kazeemized at multiple points. I had to painstakingly work to rectify the effort instead of outright replacement owner was working on a tight budget.

Pictures shortly

Sorry for irregularities in the updating of this thread. I am undertaking a programme which is in line with my career hence the irregular update. However, I will still update this thread from time to time.

abatically:
Correct. I wonder what the scare is all about. We all have given our acct number out one time or the other, why hackers never empty these accounts. Even mulitibillion naira companies, schools, hospitals give out their Acc numbers for customers to pay into. Why hackers never empty am. I can even post my BVN here for all to see. I want to see the hacker that would hack my acct.

In fact I don vex

22345327629. That's my BVN. Oya fraudsters get to work.

Your royal highness, hope no be your million dollars naira account BVN you drop for the whole universe to see?

EgunMogaji:
Those 25 milla per plot people are not on Nairaland anyways

The assumption that we all bought postage stamp sized plot in overpriced slums and cram it full of buildings is the problem.

E dey Naija. In Abuja, Building setback are minimum of 5m, but for FUS such as Major Highway, Railways, High tensioned power lines, petrol and gas Pipelines the setback is 45m, and features such as rifts, rivers flood zones, are 45m. Any development that encroaches these setback will include the wrath of the Development Control officers to mark and demolish such development. In some cases, the violators of such setbacks are prosecuted.

In other states, the adherence to planning rules are a bit relaxed hence you don't see the development control enforcing the setbacks.

I don't know but it short oil and everything went kabooeeeh, waiting for the mechanic to give his verdict before I start counting my loses

Oil shortage...

nurey:
I am now @ zaria, left gwagwalada @ after 4 in the morning, and followed a ford transit all the way till after 6 when it was bright, the ford guy really tried for me, I don't know but he helped with signals just to caution me on the road, Double pointer meaning the road is extremely dangerous and one single pointer to alert me to move to an extreme side to avoid craters on the road.

I had an engine knock at zaria, how it happened I don't know. The mechanic is checking says it's rolling but not fully rolling. worst case is they will cut another crank something.

I forgot and was negligent about things I only concentrated on the temperature guage didn't even check whether the oil was guage or not, but I am glad it happened right infront of a mechanic workshop in zaria. I have low Ba3 now, will update when all is done possibly tomorrow

Thank You all stay tuned

Jerez how come na..... This is one hell of a journey you never bargained for.

Good morning house... Good morning gurus. Please I was given a toyota prius 2006 hybrid but d car has not been used for over 2yrs, the owner said d battery died and they left it (You know how all this wealthy people behave) I requested for a car and they said I can have it. Please gurus in d house what are d pros nd cons of d Prius Hybrid Car and what DIY can I do to start d car, I learnt Hybrid doesn't use conventional battery pls help..
Cc: Everybody Please

That man/woman/family who gave you that car no like you. Hybrid pack for that car could rise above £5,000. That car isn't DIY friendly, na highly competent professional dey handle it. May I burst your bubble, that car may not have battery malfunction but an inverter/generator problem. Sorry sha.

mayor2013:
What was used as an adequate support cos I do not see any. Would have loved seeing the picture

Its not in the picture doesn't mean its not used.
What's with the smiley thingy?

Nurey, sorry bro, you've tried.. From that Oduduwa university, there's a diversion you ought to have taken to cut out Akure.

No try compete with all other cars/vehicles on the road pls. Don't step on brakes into potholes na suicide stunts be that. Instead step on the brakes and let go of the brakes as before you enter potholes... Don't rush to accelerate like a mad rabid dog on the pothole infested roads. As for the second phase of your journey, its a smooth road ahead, but.... Mad drivers with death wish lurking around them especially after 1pm when rushing for jumaat or rushing to Kaduna, Kano etc. Don't compete with them, maintain a steady easy speed. Don't rev hard at the engine or else you might end the journey abruptly with a catastrophic engine blow out.

NEVER WORK UNDER CARS SUPPORTED BY JACK ONLY, ENSURE ADEQUATE SUPPORT IS PROVIDED TO THE VEHICLE AND WEDGES ARE PLACED AT OTHER WHEELS
Remove driver's side tyre, remove brake disc and lower arm, then remove transmission mounts.

edoyad:
I can't speak for all Japanese four pistons, but as for any Toyota i4 after 2006 , I concur 100%. In fact driving at 160km/hr in a 2007 camry feels normal. You don't hear the engine labouring or experience any temperature spikes and it rides smooth at that speed. At 180km/hr however, you could start to feel like not going beyond that point

Same goes for the altima 2,5s

Which rogue boundary adjustment is that? What were the ceded communities?
the boundary of Ondo state has remained the same since the days of the Old western region.
If anything , they should have allowed the Itsekiris of the three Warri LGA'S to vote to join the Western region as an hypothetical Warri state, or the Mid-West at its creation.

Let him keep ranting, Ondo has crude oil and they produce oil. In Ilaje communities of Ondo state and other water sides, oil are abound. Places such as Igbokoda, Okitipupa, Akotogbo etc are oil areas. In Akotogbo, oil seeps from the ground and there's massive environmental pollution there. These areas are never areas of boundary disputes/adjustment, so that guy should go get verified source. Maybe its the Ondo he founded.

i've had the prado and 4runner. now i drive the landcruiser. prado is awesome off road.
pajero is good off road but has a not very durable engine.

Truth is Mitsubishi engines are delicate and can't withstand abuse unlike Toyota engines.
That said, even the FJcruiser is awesome off road. I've got to also mention Lexus the luxury sister of the Toyota marque. their trucks being luxurious are very off road capable. They are capable of fording a 1000mm water compared to a 600mm ford depth of the G wagon.

i love both vehicles you mentioned but a friend who has an ml320 discouraged me from buying one. defenders are bloody expensive and only a rare few tokunbo ones come with auto trans and air conditioning

Try these: wrangler, Landcruiser, Prado, 4Runner, Nissan Patrol, Mitsubishi Pajero and come thank me later.

politician:
Thanks for the time out to reply!

Can you describe a professional scan tool as these guys keep saying they have it but it cant read any code.

After your calls, I told you to call me back I will link you to someone but you failed to do so. Contact baconline via these 07026017827, 07088216312. He's in Ibadan Ring road I presume.

im nor arguing about off road prowess.
i am just asking why 4x4 suvs are prone to steering and front suspension issues.

talking about off road...i go off road ocassionally for fun. if there are also other off roaders on this forum i'd like to meet and maybe do some dune bashing sometime.

The front ends of SUVs are heavy due to the engines, the gearbox and the locking differential being towards the front end. This coupled with the undulating offroad terrain poses strain to the front suspensions. As for the steering, most offroad SUVs have steerings whivh aren't quite suited for on road hence when you turn a steering on an offroader you'll get plenty free play.

Jakumo:
This car is a stretch limo, of all things. I have no idea what the heck it is, but it is NOT your standard 500E. Those sedans were NEVER produced in a stretch limo version, so that badge on the back is most likely bogus.

Raymie:
did yhu just include the ML as an off roader? Sorry to burst yhur bubble, but the ML is a tall car with large tires and high ground clearance. It's an SUE by categorization, not by character.

An ML is a good offroader. Its got low range and locking diffs if its the 4MATIC. It also have DAC and HCA and HOLD which are off road tools. That said, those Japanese trucks I mentioned, will easily kill it. The ultimate offroad tool being the wrangler.

I don't know much about suv and off road vehicle...

ml 320 and defender are more powerful than the below listed. if you dont care about the fuel consumption...

fortunately i know alot about them.

Go watch youtube videos of Aussies and Arabs doing offroads mountain climbing, mud crawling.
