Personally, I do not think there is a clear cut car that will fit specifications.

That BMW looks catchy tho, but then, you'll probably need many "special tools" to work on the engine. Not a car a regular mechanic want to mess with.

Sometimes in Primary 2, didn't like me sandals anymore and I knew I wasn't going to get another till it was spoilt. So I decided to hasten up the spoiling process. I took razor and cut it. I got home and told mum I needed new sandals because the present one was now spoilt, I was even happy to show her (only God knows how I had such gumption). Of course, its easy to identify blade cuts on a rubber sandal. Oh dear, flogging was terrible. I subsequently trekked barefooted to school for about a month as further punishment.

So, he heats and probably eats food inside his office? I would expect a better etiquette, considering his corporate background.

Its his office, expect him to do what he likes instead.

If you have sat down long enough watching Nickelodeon, you'll realise there are lots of shows bad for kids. Unfortunately, many parents don't know this. Its when kids starting uttering some statements you begin to wonder where they learnt it from.

Car Talk / Re: Save My Soul, Issues With VW Sharan VR6 Engine by Mojibola(m): 8:40am On Nov 24, 2015

Happy Sunday my lovely nairaland family.
I hereby salute all my gurus in the house, u guys have always been my saving grace.
I got this 1999 VW sharan VR6 engine. I traveled for four months, when I came back I discovered the following issues :
1. Car becomes sluggish when gear two is engaged and does not Rev above 2000rpm.
2. When the fifth gear is engaged it doesn't Rev above 3000rpm.
3. All the power window buttons have refused to work except i wind down using d car key from outside , so also the climatronic a/c n radio have refuse to power on.
It's a manual whip.
All my ogas in the house save this small boy before Kazeem drain my weak account.

Just for the first issue.
Check the MAF and fuel pump. If you can get a tokunbo to check, please do.

Good afternoon, peeps and gurus in the house. Please help me resolve this little issue. My Honda CRV [2nd Gen] always seems to develop overheating issues almost immediately after using my AC for a while. I discovered that my fan seems to stop working after a while, leading to smoke coming out of the right side of my engine. I have also noticed that sometimes my fan stays on even after switching off the car and removing the keys. About 3 Re-wire guys have looked at it and will tweak one or two wires and voila! the fan will start working and all will be well with the world, only for same issue to re-surface again after a while. My gurus, please what can I do to put a final fullstop to this issue? E don tire me cry @Gazzuzz and @Luvinhubby, please help your boy

Let's take it one after the other.
First of all, the fan is designed to run intermittently while the engine is running, except you're using the AC. If you experience that, very normal.

If your engine overheats while using AC, we need more information to know what's up. Do you have to add water to your radiator daily? Are the radiator fins not clogged?

Your fan working while engine is dead, does it stop on its own after some time, or you have to invite the 'rewire' every time you park?
N.B: It is normal for some cars for the fan to keep working for a couple of minutes after switching of the engine.
Car Talk / Re: Why Does My Car Swings To The Left When I Apply Brakes by Mojibola(m): 6:42pm On Nov 17, 2015
cbrass:
Have been noticing this, when am on top speed like 120 or 130km/hr and maybe I suddenly spot something or a car in the distance and starts applying the brakes it will look like the car is swinging to the left from the back, if am going on a low speed it doesn't do like this. I drive a Hyundai Elantra

Most likely bad calipers (sticking calipers). Get a good mechanic to examine both rear calipers asap.

I'm guessing the ECU fuse in the hood fuse box got fried

More like the battery fuse. Usually an 100A fuse under the hood (fuse box). If you trace the positive cable harness, it should lead you straight to it.

Yes went to the mainland to greet my parents when it happened. The fan was connected directly so I can use it cos it was getting late. They said the fan relay has spoilt ,but I noticed that the fan just keeps blowing once you on the ignition even if you didn't start the car

Yes the fan will start up as soon as you turn on the ignition. That's the result of connecting it directly. You should get the relay fixed.
Well done brother.

I was driving and suddenly the temperature picked up so I started looking for where to park but you know as Lagos traffic be, before I could get where to park I just heard a sound and water started rushing out of the radiator. Now I don't know what to do




Your radiator must have been fouled before, I'm guessing you must have been adding water to it daily. So the tiny leakage gave way under severe pressure.

Get a new radiator and use coolant in place of ordinary water. Well, let's hope some other parts have not been damaged by the overheating.

No. The water/coolant level didn't dropped. It only happens whenever the AC worked for a while.

Clean your radiator as suggested. If problem persists, you will have to check out the thermostat if its stuck or cylinder head gasket.

My EOD 04 Coupe v6 over heats some minutes after I put on the AC But After I switch off the AC it returns to normal. Could it be my radiator cover? I have checked the radiator and there's no indication of leaking. Pls what could be the problem?

Do a coolant pressure test.
Do you have course to add to your coolant daily/frequently? coolant is leaking somewhere. Coolant pressure test will pin point the location.

...or a burnt gasket.

Possibly misfiring, check your spark plugs. You might want to check your engine mounts too.
Faulty idle air system can also cause intermittent low RPM.

I was about to open my house gate on Sunday and I overheard a conversation between two little girls.
Girl 1: I won't play with Iyanu again, she is very wicked.
Girl 2: You can still play with her, she will change when she grows up.

....I looked at them, they couldn't be more than 5years from their appearance. I was amazed!
