Family / Re: 14 Strategies To Avoid Unnecessary Pressure In 2023 by nakoks(m): 6:01pm On Jan 01, 2023
Jokanem:
NEW YEAR STRATEGIES TO AVOID UNNECESSARY PRESSURE IN 2023

1. Put your kids in schools you can afford because expensive schools don't guarantee good results. Just ensure they attend a good
affordable school

2. Rent apartments you can pay for conveniently. Don’t live in a house you struggle
to pay yearly.

3. Let’s plan our lives and live within our means. Save more and spend less.

4. Some women buy food for their children every morning before going to school or even for the whole family, do you know it’s cheaper
to cook at home?

5. Some people don’t earn much, but have
DSTV at home, go for GOTV and upgrade
when your income upgrades. It’s still the
same CNN anyway!

6. Eat healthy meals and protect your family
from mosquitoes to avoid going to the
hospital always.

7. Take advantage of food and fruits in
season, its cheaper and you can be creative to create amazing meals.

8.Don’t copy your neighbor’s lifestyle, she earns well and her husband is a ‘big man’

9. Don’t follow trends, wear clean well-ironed clothes and keep your hair neat. You would still look good.

10. Keep your circle small, keep only friends that have senses!

11. Above all things, have the fear of God, have
integrity, don’t be lazy and be prayerful.

12. Planning is the key, if you fail to plan, you
plan to FAIL.

13. Don't do more than your budget this Time, there is no award given to best family that wore an expensive cloth for the year

14.Don't be in competition with anyone...
The purpose of shoes and clothes are to
make us smart and good.


Thanks for reading and have a wonderful and blessed year ahead.
That number 10 sounds funny but very key

I have been using synthetic in a 2003 model car for over 4yrs now. No issues. Using same in a 2005 vehicle for 9yrs now. No issue. What I know is that once you use synthetic in an engine tgat has formed sludge, kiss it good bye.
Leave that man with his postulation. I have been using synthetic on a 1996 vehicle for 20 years no issues.

You must have contributed to what killed him.

You are very correct. She didn't disclose some major details in her story. They must have had an arrangement for him to marry her after she gets her papers so he can bring his kids and wife later. Then she can remarry and settle down. Reason he invested his life savings but sister had other ideas. If you check well maybe the wife knew too and played along , reason she is disgusted and won't take any assistance from OP. She did them 419 now wants to give back peanut after the man had died.

My car engine is making a rattling/ sparking noise like ke ke ke ke when accelerating sometimes when climbing a hill or when you suddenly press the acceleration to increase speed .

I have changed the plugs, what can be the issue. I use a C300 MB 2010

Aswear i know this sound and can relate 100%. Try use thicker oil weight it would go away. I used ceratec and mine went away.

Good day everyone, this is my first comment on any thread for years on nairaland I want to appreciate the contributors to this thread as it's my favorite in the car talk section.

I have a question I want to ask, people say that the w205 c300 is not suitable in Nigeria due to hydolock issues caused by lack of premium fuel. I see a lot of C300 around recently, how do they cope with the fuel?

I heard some add lead booster,how often are they supposed to do so? and is the c300 reliable in this country if maintained properly?

Or is someone just expected to go with the C400 if none of the issues can be solved?

At every fill up, meaning you should allow yor fuel gauage get to the quarter mark.For me in 5 years my guage has never reached that mark(cannot come and be having fuel pump issues anyhow). Meanwhile i know someone with a similar type of engine that always adds that octane booster. The day the cousin took the car out and fueled without adding the booster , that was the day the engine had issue( maybe that is what you are referring to as hydrolock).

One day someone called me that he was at a fuel station and saw a guy in a BMW X6 popped open his trunk and pick a can of liqui moly injector cleaner from a carton before refuelling.

Anyways las las you will be alright , get the W205 if its what you desire.

Good evening. Please, what's the best ATF to use for a Mercedes Benz (2010) GL450? I want to replace the gear oil for the first time & unsure which is best before the mechanic will just use anyone. Thanks.

Liqui Moly Top Tec ATF 1800 about 8k per litre...Your transmission takes 9 litres since you are not draining Torque about 5 to 6 litres should do it.

You dug this up from how many years ago?Ask gazzus if he still has spacers....you use it in place of O2 sensors to deceive the ECU that Catalyst is present.

Opened my front fuse box and saw water in it. My electrician is far from me but told me to remove the brain box and put it under d sun to dry up, and I plan on loosing the fuse box as well to dry up properly
Just budget to buy another ECU and get a panel to through your drain ducts else if it rains again it will damage your ECU. Avoid parking where water from the roof falls directly on the car.

Very true at the bolded.

Come dash me the car nahgrin make I take do some guys pepper body smallgringrin

Okay to all my ogas in the house pls kindly assist as I've been having this issue with my car for almost 3 weeks now.

About 4-5months ago my key feel into a very deep gutter and after about 1hr of getting it out it corrupted the ignition and the brainbox shut down the car entirely.

Removed the ignition mouth took it to ladipo and a reprogram was done and car came back to life.

A month after car wouldn't start but after a while it will start until one Sunday when it didn't start at all. Kick start was replaced and car worked perfectly again.

Like 1 or 2 months after car won't start after putting it off but when another battery is used it starts well with just a single crank.

PS: Just a twist of the key on ignition my car usually start.

So, on this fateful night after clubbing to go home car didn't start... Lolgrin used a friend's battery, no way!

Next morning my electrician came and as if he had a magical hands cars started without doing anything.

No no no!!! Oga how did you do it? Donut again. He did and car startedgrin what??!!

I did same, put it off and did same way he did, it started. Hmm!

We moved, and noticed gear wouldn't select very well. Hmm!

Now, this is the new starting technics, turn and hold key till car starts. The first few seconds of holding key you won't hear any cranking sound at all but after like 3-5 seconds it cranks and start and when you engage hear you'll hear a hit sound from the gear like it was forcefully put into gear. Instrument cluster will display error message (visit workshop) and the P sign would still display despite car in motion, gear won't exceed the 1st. No matter the distance covered.

But sometimes if car starts by just a single twist of the key everything works perfectly well, gear selects normally and the P changes immidately to R, N and D.

My electrician said it's my key, that I need to change it completely.

Who has'd similar experience b4?
