If I was in your shoes, I will first ensure that after changing your thermostat is the fan still direct or it is now automatic?

2. The code for your P0171 says bank one has issues, I am thinking maybe you should try and switch your injector mouth and see whether it will switch along, then check your air intake, be like it has leakage

As for buying fuel of 5k expecting miracles, then you don't know how cars fuel delivery system works.

pls house,
my reserve yellow light is flashing and my gauge refuse to work while I have close to half tank in my 2008 Honda civic car.

took it toy electrician and he advised we change the complete fuel component on the tank and the meter clock yet it refuses to work

Honda has a way of testing the dashboard gauges, you should have done that to rule out issues there first.

With what you have changed, maybe you need to rule out that the replaced part is still faulty. He should check the resistance from the pump sensor what it reads at empty and full, if okay, then you may have a wiring problem.

do you have a contact that sells original timing belts for Acura mdx 2009.

https://www.nairaland.com/hondajosh

Talk to that moniker he deals in OEM Honda and Acura parts

stanvesco:
Drop your price na. It's not a typo?


This thing can use 10 panels directly and it contains a small battery inside it that's made of uranium core. You connect 10 panels and that's all. One whole year you won't even have blink in power supply.
It can power 4 Ac 24/7

You must think say nah illiterate dey nairaland , what is uranium core, if that thing has anything uranium, you for don mud since or the seller won't even sell give you talk less of it been in the market. Uranium core is a weapons grade element and no govt would allow it be used publicly

Igemburg:
It doesn't happen at cold start
It happens when RPM has dropped a little below one after it has maintained its balance
It becomes more intense when temperature is above 90°F
Also it consumes fuel a lot and no error code came out when scanned

It may be fuel delivery issues, you need to check what each injector is spraying. But they should check the plugs too first

You wan go buy that laptop for #350-400k?

If you get source that is lesser kindly give it to the guy requesting.

Go to the market, the price I listed there are what you'll get it, unless you have an individual who want to sell urgently at lower price.

The topic is not about low quality tech, if you know what you're buying and you know you can get a better offer else where that's fine.

The topic was about a particular laptop with a particular spec, and someone said it shouldn't be more than #500k lol and I had to tell him the price of these things now.


If you believe you want a specific kind of RAM and SSD on the laptop, just go to the bios setup and check, the ssd/RAM maker will be written along side with size but saying you can get this spec for less than #500k?


OK oo.

I am not talking about the price of the laptop sha, you will get a product at different prices. What i am just saying to you is attributing cost of memory to the increased cost of gadgets which shouldn't be so in our markets as most of the used items offered are outdated tech. you will still see people selling Core i6 to i8 for more than $800 in naija, though i know custom duties may also influence prices.

udemzyudex:
Shouldn't be more than #500k?

Lol funny you, the price of RAM and SSD is making laptops to be more expensive now.

Some of these laptops come without RAM or SSD or they are upgraded.

DDR4 8gb is like #35k that means 32GB should be around #145-150k

256gb SSD is being sold for like #35-38k now and 512gb ssd should be going for let's say #70-75k.

#700k might be high though but saying it shouldn't be more than #500k is wrong, that laptop is way more than #500k now.

He can negotiate with seller though #650-#680k is a fair deal.

As it stands now, some sellers don't even mind selling a laptop for you without RAM and SSD, if you want it that way so you can get them on your own if possible.

Yes we know the RAMocLypse is real but then one needs to be watchful and vigilant B4 committing funds to buy gadgets all in the name things are expensive.

A lot of shit goes on in the used tech world in Nigeria now, low quality techs are being sold for huge amount of money without factoring the product demographic.

2 weeks ago someone wanted to sell me a DDR3L 4gig for 10k used, that's not even worst of it, same day I wanted to get a M. 2, I was given a Kingston NV2 4x4 1tb for 200k, thank God I researched it, it has the worst review and of low quality, las las I rejected it and got a Samsung 970 pro plus which is a 3x4 though the Samsung is of lower class but far premium than the Kingston

HP ZBook 15 G5 is a rugged 15.6-inch mobile workstation
Processor: Intel Core i7-8850H,
Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro P1000 (4GB GDDR5) and Intel UHD Graphics 630
Memory: 32GB DDR4
Storage: 512GB and Support for multiple M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs and 2.5-inch SATA drives
Display: 15.6-inch diagonal,FHD (1920 x 1080) anti-glare IPS

That is one hell of a quality laptop. Though it is a work station not a gaming laptop.

700k is a fair price especially if the hard disk is an M.2 not Sata SSD. You can still try and negotiate down a bit if possible but the specs is high quality

Lummid:
How can Lexus IS chassis (Debuted 1998) be stretched out to form lexus GS (Debuted 1991)? Do better findings.

Its you that should do a better finding, because the IS, GS, LS and some other toyota vehicles share same platform. I know the IS and GS even share parts forget the fact that the GS is bigger than the IS

Those who have that kind bank account no dey japa, they are very much here doing well and making more money, though age also depends, majority who are still single and less than 40 do japa, but the rest dont who are majority.

The truth is that there are plenty business here in naija that you can do to make it big and live comfortable, foreigners dey japa enter naija, but Nigerians dey japa leave the country what an oxymoron of existence

The country is just moving backwards as we currently have weak institutions with weak heads of bodies.

cr7lomo:
🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣.... u just waste money import motor wey Nigerians no go buy... e come b 40m wey go buy GLE , range , lexus , highlander ,

Who tell you say a Nigerian wont buy it? Some people love rare vehicles and would snatch it up within a heartbeat. Everything No be Benz and Lexus.

I really missed those times, the phone I missed most is the Motorola A1000, chai I gamed on that phone like no tomorrow, wish I could get something exactly like it on android.

Hello guys, good morning. I just got a 2014 Acura MDX foreign used. It's about 145k miles with no accident history (I checked the vin). The car was well maintained by the owner and interior still looks very clean. In the carfax history, the owner did a timing belt and water pump replacement at 77k miles in 2020. Acura recommends that the timing belt be changed at 105k miles or 7yrs whichever comes first. I am wondering whether I should just change it now or still use it for a year or two (i will hardly drive 10k miles in those 2yrs because it's a spare car). I would actually prefer to change it alongside the belt tensioner and waterpump to have peace of mind for another 7yrs or so but the problem is I don't know how to get the original oem parts here in Nigeria. Everyone in the market is China. Please, I need help on how I can get the oem parts in case I need to replace them. Thanks.

Whether China or not, it is quality that matters. For the replacement, you can ask a qualified technician to open the casing and check the current situation of the belt, should be cracked or caking around the belt, tearing along the sides then you can get it replaced. If not, just buy a replacement belt and use it for a while.

How Nigerians always talk about sharing money is beyond me.
She is only efficient at using the opportunity life threw at her.
Asking the rich to share their wealth is mirage that poor intellectual thinks will solve poverty.

Wealth is grown by financial management, wise decisions and making the best use of opportunities.It is a virtue.

Putin is rich because he steals money from treasury. He has no receipts for earnings.
Elon musk is wealthy because he created pay pal which he sold, created Tesla, bought X, own a space company. Same goes for Microsoft, Facebook,Apple.They have receipts.
They employee people, advance society, make life better through services they deliver.

People like Putin burns cash. People like Elon Musk use money to buy assets which helps build societies.

Giving the poor more money doesn't make them rich. It has never solved any problem in history.

Politicians stay in power to steal money. They are not wealth creator.
Nigeria has many rich people who have no receipts, and no asset to their name. They just get to power and build a group of body guards that help them retain power.

Wealth creation is a virtue, it is the ability to add value to substance, making it better than you met it, so that it changes life. Then get receipts for value creation.

The Woman is the not the first person to be given such opportunity, others failed to build their.

Stop wishing to share someone's hard earn estate. That's what transform people to thieves, bandits and armed robbers.
Learn to add value to society and businesses, then you earn receipts.

Thank you for the reminder, it was apt. But I am not asking her to share her wealth, rather I am asking government to use the funds they declared she owes them (8.8bn) to fund grants for deserving entrepreneurs to help boost the economy rather than loot the funds on frivolities

You go pay you go taya or just reachout to the powers that be and settle them to sweep the issue under the carpet

$6.7m thats about money for two to three Bugatti Veyron Hyper cars.

or

Give it as grant at 1m naira each to 8 thousands Nigerians to create both direct and indirect jobs to the economy hence boosting GDP and tax returns of the country , if i hear say dem care about the citizens.

I knew it was you immediately I read through the post. How you dey? How's the plantation? So you like girls.....

What sort of a question is this , who do you expect me to like then? Aliens?

vannessa7:
So what do you do in that rural area of Ondo, please share

I work in a Rubber Plantation, farming is the major goal, it is a multinational company

I was nearly trapped in Kano during my NYSC, cost of living was comfortable, hausa girls fine die and the environment is very condusive when you behave yourself.

But alas I sha japa back to Lagos. When stress wan finish my life and cost of living, took a decision back to a rural area in Ondo.

Today if I enter Lagos I be high chief for area

Faith063:
05 Toyota Camry brings out vapor from the exhaust at cold start, but after it warms up particularly after driving a few miles, it rattles which was linked to timing chain slacking, release some smoke during hard acceleration and eventually short oil. It also finds it difficult to climb hill. I really can use AC too as it will idle roughly.

Recently changed the oil from Mobil xhp 20w-50 to mobil 2000 5w-30. Also clean it's clogged PCV valve

Any recommendations to mitigate this or a mechanic around Lagos that could work on this. Thanks

1. You need to scan first for codes to know the diagnosis needed to fix other issues

2. The engine of that vehicle is known to short oil, coupled with you changing to a lighter oil, the oil shortening maybe pronounced. What you should do is return back to 20w50 and measure the shortage. That will help you know whether to manage while saving for engine replacement.

3. For the engine if ringing, you need to replace the piston and rings cause it is one of the reasons for the high oil shortage experience in that engine or just buy a Japanese variant of the engine which didn't have the oil shortage issues.

People are even funny, electricity is not the main issue here. How many Nigerians can afford a brand new electric car that cost 30m? My Ogas wey dey earn millions per month sef don't own electric cars 🤣

Maybe by 2040 when used electric go plenty, then we maybe on point

It's hogwash, except the person doesn't know how to manage money.

Though I know it may be a tough take home if you are earning such in Lagos, PH and Abuja where cost of rent and transportation is high

It is built on a Ford platform

It is also mechanically identical to Ford Edge, any Ford technician should be able to fix it.

If you later buy, try and change the internal water pump of the engine, nah that one fit embarrass you pass Olosho wey you no settle

To attain all those ISO no be moimoi, when management now hear say Auditors dey come, everyone go dey run up and down to get their acts right.

In the end we always scale through

I have over 500m in my zenith bank account saving it to buy a 900m naira Tesla Cybertruck.

Maybe I should use it to buy gold sef, at least hackers can't run away with my Gold

Pipefitter:
Which is better option between a 2014 Honda Accord and RX 330 in terms of reliability and durability. Please advise me

Both are very distinct vehicles, reliable and durability of both is top notch. They compete in different segments and are top picks in their category.

Pick RX330 if you need good ground clearance for bad roads, easy Access to parts and a touch of luxury.

Accord for fuel economy with the 4cylinder engine, speed with the V6 engine. If you spend more you get a higher trim like EX-L, special edition or touring trim for luxury
