May justice be found. My ur pain be consoled. These are the only words I can mutter.

It was the year 1998, and it was going to be the best year ever for the auto industry, as the year was going to herald about the most reliable vehicle crafted by man. This phenomenon was mean't to hold sway for only half a decade, but little was it known that it was the creation of the indestructible. Honda was going to produce their best car yet before the turn of the millennium, and decades later would struggle to relive the same feat.

I got my Honda Baby Boy 2001model in 2010, and almost 8 years later, she runs gallantly. Not a single Engine fix, transmission change or AC repair. Unlike the constant ugly remarks of the Honda foot, this has stayed unshaken for almost 2 decades. If theres any ride which passes the reliability test 100% this would be it. Today I use 2 vehicles each made 1998 and 2001 respectively. While my favourite of all time would be the Mercedes C class W202, the Honda Baby Boy without sentiments remains one of the most reliable car ever made.

Kindly leave a comment of your unbiased view of this ride, and the memories she leave with you.

Peace!

Good evening all, Pls i registered for IELTSukvi on the 18th and was asked to raise a bankdraft and submit within 5days of registration. My questions are is Saturday and Sunday counted as i have to travel outside my state for submission, what other documents do i need to go along with, is my result going to be mailed to my state for free and finally writing in lagos, does speaking come on the same day with the other modules or days before. Thank you

Saturday and Sunday is not counted. Most important document is ur passport. Speaking usually come few days before the main test. Success.

famzynet:
I think you are good to go with those. I am yet to even go through the 1700 mcq and I already feel it is an exam I will pass. I' m just after crossing the pass mark.

God help us. The country don tire boys.

Medic98:
You're welcome chief. If you've gone through those, I believe you are fine. Going through the 1700+ questions only is enough to pass plab 1 in my opinion. The extra materials only give an extra boost to your score. For more materials, you can check out the PLAB group on facebook and you can also join various plab whatsapp groups. Lots of materials are usually shared in such groups. There are several Swamy mocks available as well. I wish you all the best bro!

Many thanks. Did u have to go thru Plabable question bank too?

The company connecting hose/pipe from my AC condenser to the compressor is bad, and they seem not to be able to get one here. Is it still available in the Lagos market?. How do I solve the issue. It's a Benz C230, 1998 model

It moves very well especially when you give it maximum throttle for kickdown.

Fuel consumption? I will say very ok. Because of how I drive, I can't say conclusively.

Maintenance cost? I only service the engine between 3 - 6 months. The only repairs I have carried out in 5 years of use is timing chain replacement due to a noted rattling sound. And also belt tensioner replacement.

Impressive.

cyborg123:

Yes, I am. I've made other mods since then though.

The three pointed star truely never dies.

How's the movement of this ride. Does it consume fuel so much and how much do u spend on maintainance.

Hello everyone. I'm new here.
Reading from the thtead, it seems 2 weeks is enough for intense studying to pass ielts academic.

I'm taking the exam in March but I've begun preparation as I am combining my preps with work and others.

For those who have taken the exams, which part was most challenging to you, from your experience?

Give it 4 weeks. The only challenging part of the exams was reading. Some also say writing though, but it wasn't challenging for me. The other parts should be easy to scale through if u speak English regularly.

The current CAN president is a perfect gentleman. I was oppirtuned to see him in person less than 3 weeks back. God bless him.

Good Benz mechanic in Lagos pls.

dumo1:
Have you driven a bmw before??

Not really. But I've driven benz, from the Flat boots, V boots, and to modern generation and i'm awed by its class. I've also owned a Toyota and a Honda baby boy at some point, but their feeling don't come close to a benz I must say. BMW is among the German 3, so I expect lovely handling similar to Benz and sometimes a bit more tech. However Benz still remains the history maker.

EgunMogaji:
Mercedes Benz defines the W202 as “an affordable luxury car”.

If you own or want to own a W202 this is a must watch video.

For TeamInnoson please see a vehicle manufacturer, not an assembler. But I digress. Again.

Great Video. Totally enjoyed it.

Nairaland middlemen and price inflation be like Fulani and cow

That amount would buy or almost buy a 2004 model C class. What a life!

It's not right to scam someone. Let alone a little boy young enough to be your son, who is also from the same state with you. Where and when did we get it wrong as a country. It's well!

But where is NwAamaikpe?

It's Benz or nothing. All Auto enthusiasts know this, but shy away from it. Benz first, others follow.

itemj2k:
lol, be fair na, this is a 2000 model i4 benz... compared with Camry and accord of same year and engine size. wetin you find go 2009 v6 2.7 liter engine.

Ask the guy. Comparing a 1998 Benz to a 2006 Camry is not fair.

It is in a motorable environment?

eamodu:
You people just rekindled my love for this machine... I love the komressor version more... But I heard its problematic? How true? I need tips on which to go for... Considering this car very well, my new area needs a lion that will roar and pass any conditionz.

Go for the C180, u don't need a compressor engine. I presently use a C240 1999 model, it's service, fuel and use, no single issues. Welcome bro.

enitiObanke:
Boss, only 1 major thing determines value in d market,.....and dts demand. The fact dt a 2004 Corolla is about N2m now doesnt make it a better buy/or a better car than a 1999 w202 C230 Kompressor. Infact, a 2004 Corolla isnt half d car a w202 is, by whatever indices (not even fuel efficiency).

God bless u bro for saying the truth.

Thinking of smashing ur child against a wall is no longer post partum depression but psychosis.

Medic98:
You're welcome. I'm glad it helps. Yeah, true @ job availability. Thanks.

Thanks chief. What are the best question banks for Plab1. I have gone thru the 1707 questions, Sampson's 7mocks. Which other will you advice. Thanks.

kingreign:
pencil light outlived it's time orobo Camry too. go find out.

The Mercedes C class W202, is far and above Camry Orobo and Honda bullet, thats d argument. If you drive any of the later today, no one will give u a second thought. However the C230 1998 model, well maintained, will still command enough respect.
