3. Good quality tints preserve the interior surfaces, trims components of the car from degradation, shrinkage, dryness, cracks and breakage,
4. Tints offers anesthetic appeals to the car,
5. Good quality tints offers headlight glare blockage at night while still enabling its occupants and drivers to see clearly,
6. Good quality tint film keeps broken glass shards from scattering and injuring occupants,

CONS.
1. Quality tints such as ceramic tints are expensive to purchase,
2. Some tints are scarce and are not readily available in local markets,
3. They require expertise to handle so as not to get damaged or damage the car,
4. Even as they provide privacy they can be used by unscrupulous people to hide away criminal activities, weapons or contraband,
5. Bad quality or cheap tint films can cause reduced vision in dark or in inclement weather and this can increase risks of accidents.
6. Metallic tint film may cause interference with radio frequencies and other electronic devices.

Good morning sir.pls what's the meaning of the code P1888 Honda city 2007. My gear is not selecting well.
Your advice and recommendations. Thanks

Your car does NOT use traditional automatic, so it should not be selecting rather, it uses a belt to drive on a conical cylinder. The shift feel is simulated.

That said, check your gear socket harness if it's broken or has been chewed by rats, or rusted, check pins in the gear if it's broken or rusted and if none, replace the transmission speed sensor. If you do and e no work, plan for a replacement of transmission.

Hello everyone ,I have a 1.4i 75HP (TU3JP) manual gear box.

While driving today, I could not engage any gear, had to get some boys to help Me push the car in neutral. Just before this happened, I noticed two things:

1. Idle rpm was slightly high, about 1200
2. The clutch pedal got stuck to the floor, had to use my leg to lift it back up, this has happened a few times in the past. What could be the possible reasons for gears failing to engage?

Thanks

Clutch has failed.

Everything my Rewire has done to ensure the abs and vsa light on my Civic has proven futile. We changed the sensor like 3 times and its still complaining about the front right wheel.

Help...I did alignment today ad well as brake pads front.my car is a rear wheel drive and we couldn't find the tokunbo of the brake pads all through the market.it was scarce.so I got new ones. After the mechanic installed it,I was there,the brake pads couldn't fit in once so he had to bend the guide and it got fit. However after doing everything,the lexus now refused to start.i mean I'd start it and it will go off. I've not changed the denso fuel pump in about 7months because it was bought directly from ebay. So the mechanic now said the car had reset and he needed to raise the throttle cable,he did ad viola the car started,but I feel some shakes on the engine ad also the steering shakes a bit. I'm having a feeling its either the ball joints are misaligned or the mechanic scattered the alignment while trying to bend the plate. Now he said the shakes are from my injectors that they need servicing.i bought about 3 injector cleaner which is green inside a plastic bottle ,still no difference. Two of the spark plugs,plugs 1 and 2were totally black.they weren't firing despite they are Brand new ngk.is tokunbo plug the best or do I need to service my nozzles the standard way,which includes flushing and testing with the machine. Help......my mpg has become worse off.

It's normal for 1985 toyota LiteACE.

AllDModsAreMaad:
Sorry to bother you with my many questions.

I will consider the sales agreement aspect, but hope there won't be any issue in a situation the sister abroad decided to come back to Nigeria and find the property (land in this case) already sold, since she is the owner according to findings, and also since I'm not dealing with her but her alleged brother?

I strongly suggest you speak to the owner of the land directly and have her consent. You can ask her to write a letter acknowledging her awareness and willingness to sell her property to you. This is to be signed by her and you, she may also have an ID card and a passport photograph attached to it. This way, she won't allege that you got the land without her consent or you encroached into her property.

Properties › Re: Is This Land Genuine Or Fake(scam)? by kingreign(m): 12:03pm On Sep 21, 2023

AllDModsAreMaad:
Ok, thank you sir, I really appreciate.

After much inquiry, I was told it was the seller's sister's land, that she resides outside the country.

Still insist that you want to see the landed documents. If there's none, ask them to make a sales agreement, with a lawyer that binds on both of you In presence of witnesses then take the document to your LGA land agency/authority for onward documentation pls.

Properties › Re: Is This Land Genuine Or Fake(scam)? by kingreign(m): 10:36am On Sep 21, 2023

AllDModsAreMaad:
I didn't see the question.

Osun state, Ijeshaland to be precise

Ask for the genuine papers, if he presents it, observe it if it's from a chief or family land or state govt issued document. From there do your background check with him and your lawyer. Do NOT just assume it's a legitimate land and pay money just like that.

Properties › Re: Is This Land Genuine Or Fake(scam)? by kingreign(m): 9:11am On Sep 21, 2023

AllDModsAreMaad:
God bless you for this response, it is helpful.

One more question, is it possible for a land not to have a paper/document at all?

I requested for paper/document on the land from the seller but the seller is telling me he bought 10 hectares and he is selling it bit by bit i.e in plots, and I don't expect him to give me the paper of all the 10 hectares, that I'm the one that will do the paper and bring it to him for filling, stamping and signing.

Honestly, the thing no dey clear to me.

Is that how they do it because it is a virgin land?

His claims above is why I came to nairaland to find out before anything.

You still have not informed me about the state where the land is located in Nigeria.

All lands sold in Nigeria should have a title document.
Land law in Nigeria states that all lands in the state and local govt belongs to the state, all federal lands belongs to the Federal Government.

Section 1 of the land use act states as follows:

"Subject to the provisions of this Act, all land
comprised In the territory of each state in the
federation are hereby vested In the Governor
of that state and such land shall be held in
Trust and administered for the use and
common benefit of all Nigerians in
accordance to the provision of this Act."

If the land was bought originally in large expanse and Is being sub-divided and sold as plots, it should have a Right of Occupancy or Certificate of Occupancy (which ever is issued by the authority involved) and backed by an irrevocable power of attorney.

It should be noted that section 5 sub-section 1 of the land use act give the Governor the power over all lands within his state whether urban or rural and empowers him to issue out Certificate of Occupancy (CofO) for any land given out as enshrined in section 1 of same act

Section 5 subsection 2 of same land use act, states, "Upon the grant of statutory right of
occupancy Under the provisions of subsection
(1) of this section all existing rights to the use
and occupation of the land which is the
subject of the statutory rights of Occupancy
shall be extinguished."

Please, if the seller isn't willing to offer you a copy of the Certificate of Ownership document after checking validity and authenticity of that land, with an irrevocable power of attorney for the part he has cut off for you, back out of the deal.

Cheers!

Properties › Re: Is This Land Genuine Or Fake(scam)? by kingreign(m): 8:39am On Sep 21, 2023

Where's the land located?
Before making any payment on that land, ask for the genuine land document to be sighted, both of you should schedule a date to go to your local government land/ planning agency to verify the authenticity of the land with that originalland documents and its title, if it's genuine, involve a lawyer to draft a land sales agreement, then make payment. After this, his lawyer should get an irrevocable power of attorney regarding that land. Immediately you do this, get blocks and install a perimeter fence around the land to prevent encroachment.

Just a short krrr sound.. When parked for a while and in d morning.. Happens just once... For the jerking noticed two of the coil is bad..

The 'krrrr' sound is most likely your VVT-i sprockets or timing chain being slacked. Have it checked and if it's the vvt-i sprockets are the culprit, replace them with a good working unit. Do NOT WELD THEM.

Dozieson:
change of coil and co is a waste of money, I believe the panel has tampered with your exhaust

Absence of catalytic converter does NOT equate to fuel consumption. Rather, it even improves it slightly. However, I am strongly against catalytic converter theft.

P0455 is an evap code which shows up on your scan tool when the ECM detects a large leak of evap. In most cases, this leakage is accompanied with smell of fuel and bad fuel economy.
