Car Talk / Re: WTB: New/rebuilt Steering Rack For 2002 Toyota 4runner by Lusky(m): 11:07pm On Jan 04, 2017
From experience, its preferable to buy a brand new steering rack. After replacing mine (2000 4runner), four times (with tokunboh) and kitting (rebuilding) twice within the last 14 months all to no avail. I eventually bought a brand new steering rack for just 50K and hoping this lasts. I had to consult with Oga Gazzuz on the matter when I felt I was being shortchanged by the mechanics due to the rapidity of failure of the tokunboh parts. He made me realise that as the replacement parts are quite old themselves, as such it is difficult to ascertain the degree of wear.

My wife's cousin readily comes to mind. His outfit is called Quaint furnishings. very good and professional I must confess, as he cut his teeth with some embassy jobs, which demand precision and fantastic finishings. His name is Emmanuel or Kwame, and can be reached on 08033043300, 08023657097. He comes highly recommended.
Travel / Re: Any Nigerian Restaurants In Cape Town, Sa? by Lusky(m): 9:12pm On Nov 09, 2009
@Zexyworm,
I remember now, the place is called Aarons. I must confess the only food I eat there is either Semolina (semovita), or pap, with any soup that catches my fancy that day. Me thinks I have to go there this week, already salivating wink . Enjoy.
Travel / Re: Need Info On Accomodation In Capetown by Lusky(m): 12:15am On Nov 09, 2009
Areas around observatory are quite expensive. From your poster I guess you will most likely be studying at UCT. All the same, I will drop a link here for you, you can use it to secure accommodation. Just bear in mind that its going to cost you lots more than we pay back home in Nigeria. Concentrate on Mowbray areas, its a stone throw from Observatory, and Nigerians are quite a few there as well. I stay in Belhar which is about 20 - 30 mins from Observatory. Good luck

Sorry, Woodstock should replace Goodwood in my last post, got my lines crossed I guess.
Travel / Re: Any Nigerian Restaurants In Cape Town, Sa? by Lusky(m): 11:33pm On Nov 08, 2009
Sure there are, check in the train station terminal in Cape Town(by the stairs leading out to the main road, where renovations are on), and along Vortrekker road in Bellville (almost opposite Wimpy). There you will find Nigerian restaurants, I cannot remember the name now. As for Nigeria food items, you will get inside the train station terminal as well, while on the stretch leading to the restaurant. You can also check in Goodwood close to a pizza shop. Good luck.
Enjoy. grin

Autos / 01-03 Rav4 Transmission/ecu(ecm) Issues (caveat Emptor) by Lusky(m): 3:16pm On Jun 02, 2009
This is to notify all who own this sweet SUV of the challenges they MAY encounter, considering that my wifey drives same, and has just faced this problem. (ref https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=135330.msg2275900#msg2275900). After extensive research on the internet, the following are my deductions;
* certainly there exists manufacturer's defects in the transmission/ECU of the ride, even though it has not warrantied a recall by Toyota as the problem rears its ugly head after a long while, mostly after ride is around the >80k mile mark .

* Replacement/ repair costs is well over >200K (naira), in fact, its between USD3000 - 5000.

Advise: If your this is your dream car, maybe you get a manual shift, or let it remain a dream grin.

For interested parties, look for Toyota TSB of 03/03/06, or go to www.carcomplaints.com

Happy driving all

Politics / Re: Abuja CCTV's Are Not Functional by Lusky(m): 2:02pm On Aug 02, 2008
CCTV can and DOES work in Nigeria. Lets all forget all the negativity all around us and encourage/concentrate/build on the positive. Just follow the link provided, and you can monitor Mobolaji Bank Anthony road in Ikeja (formerly Airport road) in real time , as the camera there does work and works well. Maybe the Police should consult/liaise with the right people to make cameras work/perform as planned

Nigeria can and WILL definitely get better, we all have be positive and act positively in everything we do

Autos / Re: Rav 4 Needed by Lusky(m): 1:51pm On Aug 01, 2008
Hi all,
eventually got a lovely and very clean 2001 Rav4 couple of weeks back. I want to use this medium to say a big dankie/diyanbonga/Ese/daalu/nagode/THANK YOU, to Inspired and Jenju, and the others that made offers. Keep well all of you.
Autos / Re: How Has "Vin Check" Helped You? by Lusky(m): 6:40pm On Jul 02, 2008
Brauneyes,

plz dont discontinue this wonderful service. Speaking from my personal experience, I give kudos to all of you rendering this FREE service, especially Jenju, as he was the one who attended to me. I was so impressed and informed with the kind of info you get from a carfax, as it helped me from making purchases based on looks and marketing "raps" of dealer, and I can now even enlighten dealers who are not nairalanders on VIN and its importance. Its amazing that there are dealers out there who know next to nothing about VIN, and would even tell you it doesnt exist, until you show them the location (thnx to Nairaland for guiding us to that as well).

I must also commend the sincerity/forthrightness/intellect of nairaland car dealers (Inspired in particular, as i had discussions with him), on the same issue, as you know what you are buying from the word go.
Plz keep it up all of you.
Autos / Re: 2003 Toyota Rav 4: Low Price by Lusky(m): 8:57am On Jun 12, 2008
Inspired,

I must say that I am surprised, albeit disappointed that you have refused to post the VIN of this SUV to me, after numerous emails and calls, vehicle inspection nko. I had to resort to posting this on nairaland to avoid your coming up with excuses aboout the VIN.

I guess putting my hope into picking up this ride from you was a mistake, just pained that the time, money and energy spent on negotiating this ride with you could have been directed to another.

It would be nice to know why you refused posting the VIN.

Hi,
Saw your post. I would just like to cite a note of caution, while trying to make friends with Nigerians in SA, especially in Gauteng (Joburg in particular), please bear in mind that there are a lot of shady characters out there who are really not helping the image of the average good Nigerian in SA. Summarily put, be careful. I stay in the mother city, cheers
Phones / Re: Bluetooth And Memory Card ! by Lusky(m): 2:32pm On Mar 22, 2008
Hi Big father,
I use a P990i as well, bought a 2Gb memory card from Ikeja when i came home for the xmas , and trust our people, it was fake, got it returned to seller.  Would suggest you purchase from a reputable seller (with warranttee), and you may as well indulge yourself into buying a Jabra BT 620s stereo bluetooth headset for your phone, thats what i use, and i must confess its terrific (got it here though).
Enjoy your handset, one of the best around now
Family / Re: Thank You Dad! by Lusky(m): 6:49pm On Mar 19, 2008
Hi Nairalanders,

Its quite refreshing to see the outpouring of emotions/feelings people have about their fathers. It goes to show that fathers are still doing something right in the lives of their kids. However, the reason for this posting is to encourage all those who have found it hard to express their feelings verbally to the ones they love to try and do so, in whatever way they can, and that the person would understand.
Life is too short to be lived without telling those we love how much we love and appreciate them
