Chekitaut: how many tons, where in shagamu?
Off Aiyepe road. Near the local government secretariat. Can you supply there and can I have your contact? When I need it I will contact you.

The granite is likely to be 30-60 tons and I will also need iron rods

[quote author=car-doctor]ATF-DW1 is an improved z1. Yes you can use it if your honda is a 1998 to 2000 model but its a lot more expensive than ATF-z1. Use only ATF-DW1 on cars built from 2010 onwards.

If you own a Honda hybrid model, do not use any of these because they run on their own specialy designed hybrid ATF.[/quote]Is there fake DW-1? Cos I see 2 variants in the market. The grey one and the green one.

Kindly clarify pls.

walexpal: @ Marpol, i did the change and drove it for a week within lagos. Ever since i have been in Abuja. SO u are saying i should replace it with ATF Z1 immediately?
because it will not last! The damage will not manifest immidiately,but gradually it will manifest.
IslamRe: My Landlord Says My Girlfriend Should Not Visit During Ramadam by Marpol: 10:52am On Jul 19, 2013
modicum: I'm living in a 2 bedroom apartment with my landlord who is a Muslim .i've got a girlfriend who visits me once in a week and my landlord is well aware of this. To my surprise, my landlord called me on Saturday that I should tell my girlfriend not to visit me on Ramadan period because my girlfriend visiting my own room is a SIN for him because he's fasting.
Note: I'm a free thinker and not fasting with him. 2. We're not related and not sharing the same room. 3. My tenancy agreement doesn't indicate any Ramadan clause. 4. I've got only one girlfriend visiting this apartment . 5. My landlord has got 2 wives living in separate apartment. 6. I've been living in this apartment for 9months and I introduced my girlfriend to my landlord when I moved in. 7. Anytime my girlfriend visits, she come straight into my room meaning she hardly meet my landlord .8. My girlfriend is very clean and anytime she uses the toilet, she always keep it clean and tidy.
My question is; how does my visiting girlfriend affect my landlord's fastinghuh??
He is jealous cos you are doing the do while he ain't

Please share how/where you found your car engine number. I need it for registration purpose to avoid police headache. Thanks
Don't bother urself. Just put nil where the engine number is required. That is what they did to mine an no policeman has ever stopped me to ask for engine number. The VIN is the most important bro.

Oga Spyder, which is best practice? To do concrete flooring after the foundation or to do concrete flooring after building?

Its a one storey house and the ground is dry land.

Any repercussions?

guy1234: Shebi dem talk say na10 lane the road go be. The 2 lanes from sagam to ibadan leaves the road in its present design state. So why wasting so much to add one lane from sagam to lagos,and do patch work from sagam to Ibadan. Where is the sense in that. In 5 years we would have the same problem of today because that lagos-ibadan axis is rapidly developing in both residential and industrial projects.
Myopic thinking by government in power I guess.

samir101ng: @Ikenna351



@Marpol,

what was the engine oil viscosity rating of your 04' Nissan Xterra ? Are you telling me that the engine oil knocked your engine and you had to replace it ? Wow shocked shocked Any more information from the house as regards using Quartz 9000 (5w-40) for a 2004 Toyota Corolla with a rating of 5w-30 !!! Appreciate it
I suspect they had a bad batch in the market. Nissan recommends a 5w30 oil for the xterra and I have used the 5w40 Total Quartz twice to service the car with no issues. Bought the 5litre can from a Total filling station on the fateful day and took it to my mechanic. He changed the oil and immidiately he started the car, boi come and see fumes everywhere. If I was not there when it happened I would have said the mechanic damaged my suv.
Car TalkRe: 2006 Toyota Camry Fuel Tank Fill Up Problem (need Help) by Marpol(mod): 9:39am On Jun 20, 2013
ezedee: k guys here is what happens when trying to refuel at the filling station,
as soon as the nozzle is depressed for fuel flow into the tank it fills up the tube to the tank and spills over cutting off the dispenser trigger and gradually and slowly goes down
so to put fuel in, one has to dispense fuel from the trigger slightly depressed
forcing it down with will only spray fuel everywhere and this just started
Now you are talking! Siena over to you please.

Car TalkRe: My Gearbox Is Cranking After Changing The Oil.... by Marpol(mod): 12:30pm On Jun 19, 2013
earthrealm: ignorance is bliss!...lol, not this time.....i so hate that abro transmission fluid.mechanics are so quick to recommend it and car owners also are quick to jump at it...cos its soooooooooooooo cheap...

i nearly wrecked my toyota engine 5yrs ago when i wasnt too well informed about cars... after 2 months my car was finding it hard 2 engage reverse..and enters with a loud thump after about 30 secs!...the useless mechanic who put the abro told me 4 wks after when i came to complain...that my gearbox is bad..that i should start saving up to buy a new gearbox!!!........i had to research and google..and that was how i found out that abro is rubbish and not suitable for my toyota rav4 then.......

armed with this knowledge and my haynes manual..purchases $16, i was able to open /change out the transmission fluid..i bought the totytat recommended type tiv , washed the filter thoroughly with petrol [cudnt see a new filter to buy in naija, later got a new filter from the usa]..and voila...my car was back to life!!!.

later drove the car to the mechanic.....and he was puzzled that my car was still running, and that i didnt follow up on his change the gearbox advice......i subsequently stopped visiting that mechanic...n come to think of it..any mechanic....the few times i go...i just indulge them to know what they think is the problem and test it againt what i already know is the problem...

the morale of the story is : EDUCATE URSELF SO MUCH ABOUT UR CAR, THAT U WUDNT BE AT A MECHANICS MERCY!!...CLUELESS CLOWNS..most of them
