A young doctor was yesterday afternoon shot dead in a lagos traffic when he refused to hand over his personal effects to robbers who escaped on bike. This is indeed sad. May his soul rest in peace. The link is below

hello n. oxide, pls can u post the contact number of the mechanic that fixed your ac as it seems he is competent. i have issues with my car ac which dosent cool at all and am tired of throwing money at it with no result. thanks.

kayoday: Happened to my car 1998 camry. The heater was bypass and it solve the problem. Involves swapping some hoses, was told there might be a blockage in the heater compartment and fixing it might be difficult,


I agree, that can happen. But in this case, the key words are: "especially when AC is used" and "there is no water shortage from the Radiator."


@Siena
The poster by saying "especially when AC is used" can be understood to mean that water collects under the floor mat NOT only when the AC is in use. So he can check out other likely causes.

if your car has sunroof it could be that the drain outlets (thin rubber hose i think) are clogged thus preventing water from the roof from cascading down the drain outlets hence the retention of water under drivers footmat, so check that out.

@ laluski
i advise you avoid selecting the P (park) on your auto tranny when in slow moving traffic but rather switch between the D (drive) and N (neutral) as your auto tranny will over time be affected due to pressure. Of course, you also apply your brake (including the hand brake)when it's called for.

Well, I once owned a 97 camry and advise you alternate between the "drive" auto tranny position and "neutral" position in heavy traffic as the "2" position is for driving up hill (to build up quick momentum i.e. when you want to overtake) while "L" position is to reduce engine speed while descending steep hill, I think.

Sorry wherever you come across the symbol in my above post, replace it with the word "drive" as it seems the drive symbol cracks up nairalands system.

Siena am afraid you are not correct on this one but ikenna is. Continuously using the "" position of your auto tranny in a snail moving bumper to bumper traffic will wear out your tranny faster (don't really want to say damage), and how do I know? I presently drive a honda baby boy and the owners manual (not with me as I write though) clearly recommend that when one is in heavy traffic, select the "D3" position rather than the regular "" (D4 for honda baby boy) in order to prolong the lifespan of the auto tranny (engage "N" when its called for). What bothers me though is that some cars simply have "P, R, N, D" positions on their auto trannies but I guess in such cases the "N" position will come to the rescue.

Though this is indeed daring, it did not come as a surprise to me as these killers up North invade police stations and military formations with impuinity, what is surprising is that they (SARS)were overpowered and could not call for reinforcement to save their blushes...i've been to the SARS Headquaters and seen that the entrance had those concrete security slabs strategically placed and that even if the offices were out-numbered by the "invaders", they could buy time and radio for help.Unless the invaders charged from all directions after scaling the not-so-newly-erected perimiter fence.

3 nuns were talking one sunny day in july.

The first nun said, "i was cleaning in Reverend father's room the other day and do you know what i found? A bunch of pornographic magazines!"

"what did you do?", the other nuns asked.

" i threw them in the trash of course", she replied.

The second nun said, " i was also in Reverend father's room putting away the laundry and i found a bunch of condoms!"

"Oh my!" gasped the other nuns. "what did you do?", they asked.

"i poked holes in all of them!", she replied.

The third nun fainted!                 

A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried this creative defence:

"my client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few trifling articles. His arm is not himself, and i fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offence committed by his limb".

"well put", the judge replied. "using your logic, i sentence the accused's arm to one year imprisonment. He can accompany it or not as he chooses".

The accused smiled.  with his lawyer's assistance he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench and walked out!     

A man's car stalled on a country road one morning. When the man got out to fix it, a cow came along and stopped beside him.

"your trouble is probably in the carburetor", said the cow.

Startled, the man jumped back and ran down the road until he met a farmer. The amazed man told the farmer his story.

"was it a large white cow with a black spot over the right eye?", asked the farmer.

"yes,yes", the man replied.

"oh, i wouldn't listen to bessie", said the farmer, "she dosen't know a thing about cars!"

There was this guy at a bar just looking at his drink and stays like that for half an hour. A big trouble-making truck driver then steps next to him and takes the man's drink and downs it all. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says,"come on man, i was just joking,  here i will buy you another drink. i just can't stand to see a man cry."

The crying man man replies,"no, it's not that. This day is the worst day of my life. First, i over slept and got  late to work. Annoyed, my boss fired me.I left the building and discovered my car was stolen. The police said that they could do nothing. I took a cab  home and forgot my wallet and credit cards in it. I entered the bedroom to find my wife in bed with the gardener. I left home and came to this bar and just when i was thinking about putting an end to my life, you showed up and drank my poison, "       

a man lay naked  on a beach and a woman came along and started beating on his bum. "what are you doing?" asked the man and she answered: "beating drums". The man then turned on his back and said: "can you play flute?"   

this joke is a classic anytime , it goes :

a man was sitting in a  bar on the 16th floor of a high rise building  nursing his drink. Suddenly another man rushes in and says to the  barman  :"barman quickly hit me with a mixture of everything you have! . the barman presented the drink and the man downed it fast. "quickly hit me with another mixture!" he ordered and  after downing it he went arrrrrrrgggggh! and suddenly ran to the window and jumped out! the other man nursing his drink  was impressed and said to the barman:" give me whatever it was you  gave that man!" and the barman served him. After downing his order, the man went arrrrrrrrrrrggggghhh! turned and ran to the window and just as he jumped out he heard the barman say:"hey mister, that guy was superman, !"  LOL
