Good day gentlemen..
Please what's your take 2016 Mercedes Benz ML350 in terms of ruggedness, maintenance costs etc.. I won't add fuel because fuel is not an issue at all..
I'm a first time Benz user comin my from Honda Accord.. I'm apprehensive based on what I read am the SAM this and SAM that.. I was actually going to go for 2017 GLE 450 COUPE.. but wanted to have a sensible taste of the ml350 since it's an immediate cross over to the GLE.. I will really really appreciate your responses and look forward to them. God bless you all

Be careful of that M276 engine. Pls

Hi gurus in the house.

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.

@valarinz

Instead of that rubbish you want to attempt, get a 2.5 i6 corsworth engine for that 190E.

ojeysky:
It's the cheaper alternative to Toyota highlander, reliability is good.

I quite disagree on the bolded.

What's your preference in a car?

Pls I need you to answer the below question
From your post,Jesus didnt come to say the righteous but the sinner. Will it be fine to say,you can make heaven without knowing Jesus? They are righteous people that doesnt know Jesus.

"6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him."

James 14:6-7 (KJV)

Hello I'm just think if I will get salvation if I indulge in sexual activities early on a Sunday morning before going for service, the thought of guilt is all over my head although I'm married someone please advise

Yes, the church isn't a place for the righteous only but more for sinners. This is because Jesus Christ didn't come to save the righteous or already saved souls, but he died to save sinners and draw them back to righteousness.

Please, when you go to church, pray for forgiveness and repentance of your sins and do not go back to your sins.

the first gen because it's what I can afford presently without stressing myself much,which year model do you think is better ,so I will see if I can wait a bit and hustle up to get it.I want the v6 not v8,I can comfortably fuel v6,v8 pass my power.Thanks

Go for the face-lift models (06-08). They had a few subtle changes and improvements. The biggest improvement was under the hood. It had a power bump from 260hp to 280hp and the transmission was improved upon. Whatever you do, invest in a transmission cooler if the vehicle isn't fitted with one. It will prolong the life of the transmission.

Hello guys,planning to get an infinix fx35 very soon.i have done a lot of research about the car.please who uses it here or has experience with it can shed some light about it .thanks.i also want to know how much for the servicing.Fuel consumption is not my problem.

Hello house I need the complete wiring for my Suzuki alto.. where can I get it?

Your location is?

cooldudeng:
Stop on! I had a similar issue, and it was a clog in the sunroof drain.

Please, is there a reliable Auto electrician you can recommend in Lagos? I have the annoying P0011 code. I've changed the Solenloid in bank one, but the issue persists. Before moving into the cam and crankshaft sensors, I would love for a reliable auto electrician to test the wires. It's not an oil issue as I've done an oil change in recent times.

No I don't have any reliable auto electrician I can recommend in Lagos.

kingsoluv4real:
Hello Guys. Please I need help with my 2nd generation Toyota Solara Coupe 2004 (2.4L 4 plug engine & 4 speed gear). After an AC overhaul, an unqualified rewire fried my ECU (causing car to not rev) and ever since I tried several ECUs, they all work well but my gear started delaying from 2 to 3. Even with my current ECU.

Whenever the gear is about to shift from 2 to 3, I generally leave the throttle pedal so it can shift smoothly and not roughly.

Please advise.

Let's start all over again from the basics,

1, Does the replacement ECM bears exact part number as the original one?
Pls post your VIN and the replacement ECM part number so we verify.
2, were any fuse, relays, part etc cut or removed and not replaced properly?
3, Are you sure of the state of the replacement ECM. Is it okay or not?

Mecoy:
The car is in Lagos. Either at V.I or Ogba, any of the two locations work.

No work has been done on it except for oil and oil filter change that was done about four weeks ago

Contact Gazzuzz or Lejeun2 they're in Ogba and Lekki respectively and are recommended.

Hiringu:
Thanks, but like I said before, I'm looking to deal with someone who actually sells it.
I have people who can go in search of it, but that would be a last resort.

Very well then. It's your decision and it's okay by me too.

Hiringu:
It hasn't been searched for aggressively, yet. Do you have one?
If you do, how much?

I don't sell parts, but it can easily be gotten. If you are okay with it

Mecoy:
Please I need guidance on my 2008 Lexus ES350.

It started two nights ago when the alarm went off, the usual alarm where the horn beeps at intervals.

I thought there was an attempt to break into the car, but I peeped from the window and there was no one.

I unlocked and locked it back and the alarm stopped. Few minutes kater I went down and noticed that the radiator fan was rolling on its own. I had to remove the battery terminals to stop it.

The next day, I went out with the car and there was no issues. It started the same alarm wahala last night. I had to remove the battery.

It has started the alarm again today at work, and I noticed that when I don't lock the car, the alarm doesn't go off. It goes off about 30 minutes after locking the car.

I got a rewire, and I asked him for his plan, he said he wanted to disconnect the alarm.
My fear is that the alarm could be a warning to something else that is going wrong with the car. I'm actually bothered about the radiator fan that was rolling on its own.

I don't want any rewire to mess up my car, so I need advice from experts here.

Thank you

It's very difficult to profer solutions online for this type of challenge. You'd need a competent technician to fix it. Where is the car located in Nigeria and what work was carried out on the car recently?

Lagos mainland

Contact gazzuzz on +2348033910382, schedule an appointment and if your car is within the models and year of car he fixes, then you're in safe hands.

The location of the car matters.

My Suzuki. Mini bus stopped accelerating, engine sound is very low, when I put it on, it has low sound and doesn't move. I called gearbox mechanics, he said the gear box is fine and may be electrical fault.

What do you think pls

The repair bills won't be same as a regular commuter car because when those luxury features starts breaking down (which they sometimes do earlier than expected) you'll understand that you shouldn't put luxury and reliability in the same context.
For the record, a Corolla/Civic would be tagged more reliable than a Mercedes C class or BMW 3 series.
A Camry/Accord would outlive and be cheaper to maintain with fewer parts breaking down than a Mercedes E class.
Just the same way the Avalon would be on the road longer than an S class for example.
Those cars are somewhat categorized in similar or closer class range.
The fact that it starts and drive don't mean they're in tip top shape.
When you hookup an advanced scanner and run a full system scan on those luxury vehicle, you'll be shocked at the number of faults you'll pull out that the owners have turned a blind eyes to.

I repair cars and manage fleets and from experience, I have seen corolla and civic as the most abused vehicles on our roads. I have quite a number of high end cars that have zero error on their computers.

jceesquare:
Wetin you read?
If you daily your luxury car like the normal economy car, your repair bills go skyrocket na.

A Lexus Rx, Es, GS, IS, Acura MDX, RDX, TL, TLX, Mercedes C, E, ML/GLE series are luxury brands and they're durable and reliable. Pretty reliable and durable models from their respective marques. Heck, I know quite a number of Nigerians using these cars as a daily driven cars with none other as alternative. Guess what? They're doing pretty well and holding up just fine.

jceesquare:
It's not fair putting luxury and durability in same sentence.
If you can comfortably afford both, then go for the Mercedes.

Ehn?

Got damaged sir

The new bumper got extra skirts. Looks nice.

10thTenthMan:
Have not taken time to appreciate you for this. My sincere Apologies.

Thank you very very much for responding. A home service mechanic has been called to come fix the issue. As for now the car is being driven only within the Neighbourhood and cannot be driven far to the mechanic shop. This is pending when the Provincial Drivers License is perfected and acquired.

Okay. Cheers!

Mrkc:
Please does this make sense.
Changed bumper.
First New bumper
And.
Second Old bumper.
Does the new bumper make sense?

What was wrong with the old bumper?

Yesterday, I finally had enough. She texted me while I was in church that she's coming I said okay, waited for her, then told her if I didn't see her, were ending this relationship. It's been more than a month since we last saw. How can you claim you love someone and for more than a month you didn't see them and you are not bothered. She works Monday to Saturday though. My joy is I never crossed her because most ladies use that to emotionally blackmail guys. She has only visited me once and that was on my birthday. The relationship was barely two months. She's my first love at 31. I will miss her a little but I have moved on already. So I'm back to "God when?" Lol.

Maturity is hard to come by lately, more disappointingly, the immaturity is from a 30+ male.

Gosh!
