adejide2:
my Mitsubishi gallant station wagon 1998 throttled to pick on packing but throttle between 1and 2 on loading. Just bought new throttle sensor and fixed by rewire. Rewire found out that one of the wires of the sensor connector has been detached. Could this be cause of the car problem not being able to throttle on loading or is there other things affecting the car. Please my gurus help. Thanks.
It is possible. Since your car is OBD 2 compliant(after 1996) kindly perform a scan to be doubly sure.

Plz
Should I remove the thermostat of my newly acquired 2003 Camry toks. I observed the temperature goes up above the middle line approaching the high and the radiator fans do not start immediately with the start of the engine. Mechanics have advised I remove it.

I also observed that the car vibrates with the hood vibration conspicuous when the car AC is on. Plz advise.
For the vibration concern kindly perform an engine tuneup.( change of air filter, cleaning of throttle valve, check/ replace apart plugs according to manufactures spec.
Also check the condition of all engine mounts to be sure they are OK( particularly the one at the from passenger side)

Please a friend of mine needs suggestions urgently.

Between Ford Edge 2010 Model and Toyota Camry Spider 2010 Model which should he go for?

Millage, all are above 70K.
Every other thing is considered equal

Ford Edge is 3 million
Toyota Spider is 2.8 Million

Advice needed Urgently please
This depends on many factors, as these two vehicles are in two different market segments.
The Edge is crossover SUV, the Camry is a mid size family sedan(saloon)
The Edge has a Higher ground clearance comparedmto the Camry
The Edge is thristier than the Camry equipped with v6engine
The Camry is ( in my opinion based on facts) more reliable
The Edge has greater cabin and cargo room
The Edge come available with AWD
Parts are not in the same league( Edge more expensive)
Ease of maintance ? Camry it is.

So, it depends on what your friend really wants in a vehicle.

Hi Guru,

Please I want to buy Nigerian used Toyota corolla car but the owner told me that the car original engine has been changed before. I am now sceptical about buying the car even when he told me that it was Elizade that changed the engine and all documents are available.

Should I go ahead and buy the clean car with the new engine or forget about the car?
Engine change in itself is not bad, However the way it was done and the replacement engine used are very important aspects to ensure the process is not repeated again. I would be tempted to believe that Elizaade should have performed the swap as per factory specification, all correct fliuds used , and all bolts and nuts tightened or torqued to spec.Get an independent mechanic to perform a comprehensive inspection so that you can have peace of mind in your purchase. You can contact Gazzuzz on this this forum.

Insightful points here sir.
However i have the following questions with respect to marriages done in court registry:
1.What if landed properties acquired by the man during the marriage was bought in his father's name after he has realized that divorce might be inevitable in the long run(e.g he bought the properties in 2014 when the marriage was beginning to shake, so he decided to by it in his father's name... and filed for divorce in 2020) can this also be contested?
2. He bought landed property during the marriage in his name , and later transferred? ownership to his father 5 years before he filed for divorce

Daboomb:
I am not interested in your emotions but in how you can resolve your problem so, l may not be nice to you or write necessities.

1.) You can still get a divorce, despite her holding unto the marriage Certificate. Lie .someone said, you can get a copy or a certified true copy from the registry. If everything fails, go and swear an affidavit that you cant find yours as it was stolen with your bag at Oshodi or Up Iweka (First report your bag stolen and mention it as some of the thing sin the bag. Use the police report on that to swear the affidavit, a week later.) undecided

2.) Divorce proceedings will not cost you that much. Maximum is 150K and that is for a pricey Lawyer. Whoever told you 650K is trying to discourage you. be wary of discussing your plans with such person in future, even if they were you Daddy.

2b) People will take sides, so be prepared and be wary of who you discuss with. Better to isolate yourself a bit and dont suffer running mouth. Nobody will pity you so dont expect sympathy, except from snitches who will go behind to divulge your secrets to your ex-wife.

3.) That daughter belongs to both of you. If you want custody of her, then you must be in position (in the eyes of the law) to take care of her, more than your wife. Do a DNA test ASAP, so oyu are sure you are not even fighting over OBJ's daughter. grin grin

4.) Whoever has the child(ren) will be the one receiving money from the other (reason women like to hold on to the children in a divorce even though most of them have no clue nor the means to take care of the children they are holding unto).

5.) To have the child, you must demonstrate to the court that her mother is not a 'fit and proper' person for her to live and grow with.
To do that, you have to show the court that she is not financially competent to take care of her, does not have the proper accommodation for the child, is a bad moral influence on the child as she brings men home, ...while showing proof that you have all the above.

6.) Your Mum is not your daughter's mother so it is a No-No to tell the court you cant take care of her but your Mum will!
Why do you want to have her, when you cant take care of her nor have the time to do so?
having her right now will only slow you down for now, except you want to remarry quickly, but even at that, it is still a drawback (I know you love her but what l think you should ensure is that you both have SHARED CUSTODY....so you can see her when you want.
She can live with your ex-wife as a primary Guardian while she comes to spend her vacation holidays with you. The court will document this and if she fails to release her for you then you go back to court with EVIDENCE and the court will then remove her from the Mum's custody and ask her to come live with you while she gets visiting time. But this is up to you to decide eventually.

7.) Gather all the evidence you can, while you can (download that evidence on her phone and keep it or just impound the phone and clone the data on it for safe keeping. The Court is not where you go to argue! Evidence is what wins a case in court. prepare your evidence if you are serious about the divorce. Audio/Videe Phone records are key. Get a picture of the Boyfriend and as much ifo about him as possible.
Adultery though, is not a ground for Divorce under Nigerian law.
All you need to say is that the marriage has broken down irreconialably, while citing adultery, nagging, threat to life, e.t.c as the secondary reasons.

8.) Ask that her Boss directly, why he thinks it is proper to sleep with your wife, let him deny, steer the conversation properly but record the conversation. it will come in handy.

9.) Dont be stupid enough to leave your property for her right now. the time to share things will come later, by a court order.
Dont try to be nice or gentlemanly at this time, women dont respect that and the law does not take it into consideration.

10) Divorce battles are the most deadly l have witnessed on several occasions, be prepared because everything will be thrown at you, including lies.

11.) You should send her out of your home right now, let her go and live with the Boss that is fucking her. .
You CANT seek divorce when you are still living together, the Judge will see the relationship as still amenable and wont grant a divorce.

11b.) Hold onto your daughter and file for divorce immediately, at the nearest Customary Court. Make sure you have/know a place that they would post her Court summons to, for her to receive it (like her parents address).

12.) If she refuses to accept the Divorce summons (some women think they can decide whether to grant a divorce to their husband or not grin ), your Lawyer will ask the court for permission, with the Bailiff, to go paste it on her parents Door or the door of wherever she is and take pictures to show "proof of Service", which will be taken and presented in court.
The Divorce will go on with or without her and that one na im dey sweet pass. undecided

12.) Part for your "prayers" will be to have full custody (not likely you will get that but you may) but let the Defendants (your wife's Lawyer) negotiate for Joint custody as an alternative, which is really your intent.

13.) Tidy-up your finances, dont put all your money in one bank account as you would be required to bring your bank statement to court. Whoever has the higher money, maybe asked to pay some money to the other. keep your money safe somewhere safe, in cash. Ti sis not the time to show-off or be acquiring properties that can be traced. Pretend you are living just above the poverty line, dont let any woman take you to the cleaners. undecided
Every other thing yo mentioned bother on emotions, that you can deal with, by yourself.

Good luck and stay very strong, mentally and psychologically.
Go out, socialise, exercise more, dont drink or smoke weed, to indulge in tramadol, Codein or that weed you took the other tim (all these things will reduce your 'quality', affect your lifestyle and even prevent you from living a better life that will make your ex-wife regret her wayward actions.
Dont go down-hill,like most men in your situation do.

Your greatest punishment for her is for her to see you in a far better position than when you both split, at all times.

hello, motor guru
I use a v40 98-99 model Volvo and I am wondering what might be d cause and solution to consistent shortening of engine oil even without leakages and smoking from d exhaust.
I would look at your PCV valve first (Positive crankcase ventilation). It might be sticky...
Be doubly sure that there is no leakage. i would prefer you drive to a filling station alignment pit and perform a visual inspection on the underside of the engine bay.

Your valve stems seals may be bad.

If these three checks out, then i am afraid your piston oil control rings may be worn. This can only be solved by either engine rebuild or engine replacement.
The smoke that you would have seen is already 'trapped' by your catalytic converter. This will ultimately damage it in the long run

how reliable is mazda 6 2003 model? I want to buy Nigeria used but its very neat
Not a bad car. Terrible turning radius. very good engine. transmission? well regular fluid changes will help.

But for a Nigerian used one you need to be very careful. get a professional tech to assost in the process. This will save you heartbreak in the long run.If you are in lagos you can contact Gazzuzz on this forum.

alBHAGDADI:
That is how you Muslims react to every issue. When things don't go your way, you send your terrorist wing to cause destruction and put fear in people using terror. Yet you deny that they are your brothers in the mission to make Islam dominate the world. How do you intend t0 dominate the world when you don't preach to non-muslims? All you do is breed almajiri children anyhow and forcefully Islam people through jihad.

If any Charlie Hebdo type attack should happen in Nigeria, MURIC will be surprised at what will happen to them. That's when they will know that they bit more than they can chew.

As a Muslim, is anything wrong with Falz's video? Was Islam mentioned? Is hijab that dates before Islam only peculiar to Islam?

Be honest with yourself. Failure to admit the truth really means you will be one of those who will side with Satan and shed Christian blood during the great tribulation.

Come home to Jesus now and flee the association of evil doers who think they can fight for God.

My Muslim friend, come home to Jesus

It does not justify the taking of life. She should have just walked away from the marriage (separation). remember she had the chance of walking away as this was not the first, second or even 5th time the assault had happened.

Now her own life hangs on the balance.

Good morning Sir. What do you think is the average distance a Toyota Camry 2003 should reasonably/ideally cover on a full tank, considering traffic in Lagos using AC all through.
Actually this depends on a lot of factors...Condition of your engine and transmission, quality of fuel, tire pressure, using ac, intercity or highway speeds... but i think some where between 18-22 mpg should be expected.

Good evening boss. What's your take on Peugeot 406? What are the issues to look out for? I kind of believe that the c class w202 is more rugged but I'm captivated by the sleek shape of the 406.
Kindly give honest reviews of both cars. Which will you prefer
Peugeot 406. Nice car with impressive handling... I used to dream having one years ago.
The car is not for the faint hearted when u are to consider its complex electrics.
For me i would rather go for the w202 c class.... a far better engineered vehicle (particularly the faclifted ones)
