Good evening, I just noticed my if I start my car the cooling fan begin to work immediately on like before that it will start working when the engine is warm, please what the potential cause and any solution from anyone that have experience this, note: their is no direct connection to the fan.

Happened to me one time, my AC guy just cleaned the socket and plugged back, that solved the problem.

cbrass:
No I don't. That's my only car

Please keep it.

If i am not able to raise enough money for my new business i may sell my E320 2004 model.
I don't go out often like that.
Please is this a wise move?

Do you have another car? If you don't, you might want to hold on to it for now oh. Prices ain't smiling and probably wouldn't for a long time.

Monopoly

I had a strange encounter this evening, drove out and all was good, some 5 mins into the drive the caution triangle sign comes up, got a safe place to park and check the car. After the physical checks, didn't see anything and attempted to continue my movement but couldn't get the gear out of park, I had to use the emergency release switch only to move and notice the car had gone into limp mode.
I continued moving on just gear two for another 10 or more mins when all of a sudden I heard a few beeps and the caution sign, check engine light that was there initially as a result of abs and the abs all vanished and the car picked speed. All lights went off.
Just wondering what exactly happened there.

cbrass:
Okay thanks. This will most likely affect the tire too

I don't think it does, asides the pads and discs wearing out faster than they should, the only thing is higher fuel consumption as more work is done by the engine in trying to overcome the resistance from the brakes.

jceesquare:
Trace the brake lines and flexible hose. If pinched or bent abnormally tight, replace.

Thanks bro, will do so.

I have an issue with my W211 E320, the rear right tyre has been binding for ages now and it wear my pads really fast. Once I get new pads, it reduces until that one wears out and the issue becomes pronounced again.
I have changed callipers even swapped the brake disks (left to right) to see if the issue would change position and that would mean getting new disks but no, it's still on the same wheel.
Does anyone have an idea of what the issue could be, even my mech doesn't seem to know what to do at this point.

Please note : All my bulbs are Energy saving bulbs
AC not connected to it. I also use it to pump water in the afternoon.
I also have 1 freezer (100W)connected to it.

Nice.

clearcrystal:
I've been completely off Grid since December last year.I've been on Solar since then, 24hrs power supply, no noise no NEPA wahala.

How much did this cost you?

shagamite:

Isorit, thanks for your time.
When you are up for it kindly let me know what exactly the mech did.

shagamite:
The red screen stays on but brakes are fine nd I can shift gear from p to d and back without it hanging. I'm enjoying it now but red lights dey dere

Kai, the beeping nko?

shagamite:
UPDATE!!!
On the W211 E320 SBC stuff.
This evening the brake guy called me to come check the car and took me on a test drive on the highway, sped and apply brake the response was great, brakes well that I heard the screeching sound as he smashed it and release quickly nd I smiled lol. He told me he's finishing the job tomorrow(some wheels still needs work on and of course the red light on the dash still appears with the beep sound, hopefully when he finishes it'll stop or else using it that way)so I can pick. He assured me I need not worry about sbc no more , u get like e don be normal standard brake with every car that's converted . Anyways when I get the car and drive like a week or two then I'll give una feedback again.

So interested in this.
Asides braking without the wheels locking (cos of lack of abs), I would also like to know if the red screen would be off too.

ariesbull:
that car uses the engine of ML 320 and it's not expensive

C230 is not the same as C320. C230 has the M272 engine while the C320 has the M112 engine same as the ML320.

Good one.

It's probably still the most remixed naija track.

Dear Family,

I have been having this back and forth debate with my wife regarding cooking soup with groundnut oil as against red oil but she is on the negative. I had cooked Egusi soup with groundnut oil and it taste really nice. I had also done same with okra sea food and its really nice. The reason why I want to do away with red oil is because I have been advised on my cholesterol level and the odour from palm (red) oil doesn't sit well with me these days.

I want to serve my visitors Egusi soup prepared with groundnut oil but she's declined because she's not sure how it will be received....lol

Does anyone have experiences with cooking soups with only groundnut oil and how does it taste. okra, bitterleaf, oha, vegetable, edikaikong, egusi, etc

Groundnut oil abi vegetable oil?
Not all "transparent" oils are groundnut oil.

Strange. Do a ₦500 hourly plan on Airtel or MTN depending on which is faster in your location and share a hotspot to your phone and try the OTA.

Does mtn still do the hourly plan?

GrandMufti:
Before you open up your phone, be sure it's not something you can fix yourself.

Share your battery graph and about phone section

Ok, charged a little while back, I will post it after some hours.

Masterdazhem:
Change the battery.
Had the same issue till i got a new battery, new battery life was just regular but the over heating reduced.

Thanks.

genius43:
Reinstall your ROM

Ok, thanks.

I need help please, my redmi note 10 pro heats up while carrying out basics functions and the battery life is now crap. What can I do to fix the heating issue?

Etizz:
Good Day guys, I wanted to change my oil so I asked the mechanic to open the bottom plate and clean it, so I found this pieces of metal or brass about 3 in the oil pump screen, pls where do you think it may come from and how dangerous do u think it could be? How can I prevent it from happening?

Car engine is Toyota 2AZ

You sure it isn't magnet?

Asquare84:
Yes, abs light is on

You need to scan this, my light came on then went off at some point, scan points to speed sensor.

Asquare84:
Could the SBC responsible for the pulsation when I apply brake.

I think that stuff is normal, it's the abs kicking in.
I owned a w202 C280 before and now a w211 E320 and I experienced it in both of them.

reverendfather:
I went to replace the front bearings of my car today and now my car drifts to the leftside when driving. Plus I can feel the steering is a bit hard and also I can smell burning rubber coming from the front left tyre.

I had to leave it at the office and book bolt home, I was scared it could lead to something more dangerous

Wheel alignment is needed.

GOOD DAY ALL. PLEASE TREAT AS URGENT!

Earlier this year, i managed to buy my first ever car after saving up so much money for it. Unfortunately for me i made some very terrible mistake trusting my car dealer which has caused me so much pain and saddness.

Because i was travelling alot during that period, and there were a few upgrades and work to be done on the car, i left my car with the car dealer i bought the car from at his personal home residence, pending when i come back from my trip i would move the car to abuja where i was relocating to.

unfortunately for me, immediately i got back to lagos, i tried reaching the car dealer so i would come over to house to check the upgrades done on the car and then finalize plans of moving the car to abuja... only for his number to be completly unreacheable. After about a week, i was able to get through to him and he claimed he was arrested for unknowlingly buying a stolen car. and that the police took all the car in his possession while arresting him . i was already working around how i can get a lawyer to go claim my car when we discovered that the car was not actually taken by any police, but rather it was taken by a creditor that the dealer was owing some large amount of money.

what is the best possible way to retrieve the car, as i had not yet registered the car in my name and the car documents are in the car?

is it possible to check if a car has been registered and the registration details using the chassis / vin number?

the matter has been reported to the police since and they are still trying to track him down cos he has been on the run ?

cc: nurey heavenlybang and every other expert advice is welcomed

It is possible to check if a vehicle has been registered before.

In terms of processing power RN10 Pro is a baby compared to Poco F5

Physical attributes nko?
Screen res, speaker and camera quality.
Durability?

pharmtasy:
List 3 phones that you would like to buy. I will help compare against the great Poco F5

So far the Poco f5 seems to the best deal all round for me now. My only issue is the Redmi note 10 pro that has been my daily driver for the past two years has been super impressive and I am scared the Poco f5 might not look like an upgrade on it.

genius43:
Those that I know that own it haven't complained of it.

Ask @atheistandproud and @pharmtasy

Ok, I would love to get a review of the Poco f5 from someone that has also used the Redmi note 10 pro hence my asking.
