baba, honestly eh, that volvo xc60 has been on my mind for a long time now but i no get the mind. my friend is on his third xc90 and has sworn that he will never drive another brand

really, how is the xc60, 2010 model in terms of availability and cost of parts, reliability (especially for long distance travels), durability and everyday driving

Shares part with 07 freelander, s60, s80,xc70, v70 etc. Some parts may be hard to get locally. But volvo is a fairly good buy

lexini:
thanks Nurey, as always

my concern is that, my wife has an es 350 right now and i feel if i get the rx, i'd eventually get bored of the brand - as per driving same brand everyday. the mdx is the only vehicle that comes close in terms of size and luxury - that's why i'm considering it.

i don't want to depart from toyota/honda

My brother infiniti fx dey, volvo xc60 dey, nissan qashqi, MKX dey too

Nerdray:
Nurey please help out here

The avalon to me is a car you should be driven in not a car u should be driving. But in all the avalon and es350 share engine and transmission in terms of part cost i believe d es is a bit cheaper considering it shares part with camry.

The Is250 engine is 100k cheapest among all but shares part with GS which part is expensive than es.

As for the pontiac you are on your own

lexini:
Thanks Nurey

Will your choice change if it's a 2009 rx350?

Sometimes what others think doesnt matter pick the one your mind really admires, maintenance is key to enjoying either of them.
My choice would change if the mdx is cheaper to acquire and i have a large family as the mdx allows 7seating

lexini:
Nurey, which would you pick and why?

I would pick the Rx350 over mdx 1. Higher in the reliability chart than any cuv 2. Exterior design i prefer the rx here 3. Fuel economy the rx tops 4. Ease of use and maintenance rx tops

ES350 2010 vs Camry 2012 SE

E350/ES350?

Oga it takes around 5years for a regular car to meet up with a luxury car. So buy the lexus and leave story or enter both cars and pick the one that whaos U

weyreypey:
RX imo is more plush and better interior wise

Rx plush than mdx you must be dreaming my guy

HeavenlyBang:
Aight, thanks. Would that smaller scooter that that call ladies machine be an easier starting point?

Would be good for learning stability and handle steering control.
Powerbikes are manual transmission, while ladies bike are automatic

GAZZUZZ:
Uncle tell us nah, we will not laugh

I looked at the dash to check i was in gear 3 following instruction to speed up, looked back at the road, fly entered my eye I just know i was inside bush shouting my eye! My eye! In yoruba. I have to wait for my own bike to continue learning sha

GAZZUZZ:
To all of you with zero experience, look for a bike man with bajaj 110cc, pay to learn the basics, ride round your area for a while before you graduate to anything above 200cc.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Easier said than done to all the learners please ensure to wear protective googles what happened to me for failing to do so will not happen to u in jesus name. It kinda funny

tmanis:
the gs is faster shey?

THE Gs isnt faster but more superior in luxury than the ES

moyoz:
Please bro, I need your advice to decide on my next car. I'm considering Lexus GS 350 08/ ES 350 08. I'll like to know more about the gas mileage of the 2 cars thanks.

Pick the es350 slightly better mpg and cheaper parts with medium luxury

olumzzz:
Oya for educational purpose, kindly give pictures of bends, corners and curves

Check your hand book given to you by the MVAA it contains the answer to your questions.

Ciao

Samsung galaxy note 10.1 with s pen for sale .good battery,good screen,but can’t connected to battery cut.Or if anybody have the pan/cable to sell,get touch

Is this the note 10.1 N8000. Also the issue of the device isn't clear can you retype the issue it has?

ping2ping:
Please can explain more the bolded part of the sentence?

Depends on the engine simply means a V8 can do 120km/h at 1500rpm, a V6 can do 120km/h at 2500rpm and a I4 would do 120km/h at 4000rpm also depends on the engine volume but I have cars with the 3 engines and I know there capability

Powerband is the energy output (torque) dished out by an engine in conjunction with the gear eg a corolla with 1.6L engine would have a different power band at gear 2 to a 1.8L engine corolla of same year.

Please this are just layman's definition not a professor of physics or a gurus definition if I am wrong please endeavor to correct me and move on I don't want trouble this week.

Manual , if you want a stress-free driving experience.

olumzzz:
I don't know what you define as bends but you can see the road picture i posted. Na that type curve we dey talk about.

David Beckham curve.

That is a U curved road no vehicle can take that at even 50km/h without losing control.

Bends are supposed to be more gentle than your picture in page 4

foolbuster:
Whatever man. No be fight abeg.
We are not stupid thou and we all know what you meant when you lied that you negotiated a bend at 120km in a Lincoln navigator. James bond i salute you. No need for the long lecture on wetin bend be.

Whatever I don't need to justify anything to anybody, it's my life and my ride

foolbuster:
E no dey had una to start fight. Continue speaking english.

Had I known you were the man with several monikers I would just leave you alone. I no dey fight you, you have a right to disbelieve and a right to view your opinion

If you are not comfortable with me speaking English I can speak Arabic, Hausa and Yoruba just specify the one you are comfortable with.

foolbuster:
Nurey leave talk abeg. Even Schumacher and co must match brake when they are approaching a bend at 120km in a factory default Lincoln navigator.

Seems you don't know what a bend is, it will do you good to know the meaning and application before you try to prove an individual wrong.

You can't differentiate a curved road, a bend in a road, a corner road and you call yourself a driver with a driving license

foolbuster:
Kids reading this now will go and carry navigator and attempt to negotiate a bend at 120km/hr and nurey you think say you go make heaven

There are bends in road

There are curved roads

There are corners in road

There are winding roads which are bends in S shape example of such roads is lagos Abeokuta express.

Curved road is dangerous and I can't navigate it at high speed whether with suv or sedan such is the okenne bypass when heading to the north.

Drive responsibly and respect other road users.

komekn:
The Navigator is essentially a Ford Expedition with upgrades.

The air suspension is not like the Cayenne and or the Range Rover. It's not set up for performance driving on tarmac.

Not sure which year model you are talking about but it's still a truck. Anybody driving that briskly through corners, has a "DEATH WISH"

I still did though 120km isn't a very fast speed for a 32intech V8. The vehicle is heavy too so it can take bends and corners at that speed easily but not sharp ones.

KINGreignn:
Hearsay. The hilux/hilux surf, Ford series have been, are and will continually be benchmarks for trucks in their respective regions. Nissan couldn't stand where they stood, it can't stand where they're standing and won't ever stand.

Go check the reviews and ask real life owners of these trucks.

You like arguing Sha, the hilux wasn't available in 2X4 and the Ford is not as strong in engine and chassis as the kingcab.

Those vehicles cannot do what the kingcab is Intended for the Ka, Na and VG of those Era were easy to rebuild without hiccups and the rear axle modified fit easily into the kingcab.

Its not only about reliability it is about taking the modification. When even you are in Southwest do Inspect the truck carrying charcoal, Garri, firewood to know what I am talking about.

oseiwe:
Nurey, pls come and explain number 4 for us.

Binding brakes, but I would prefer to park the car on a leveled ground to avoid pressure exertion on the hand brake for a long period of time.

excanny:
Not yet found. Tho I asked a car dealer that imports cars from Germany to check if he can find it in Germany. He hasn't gotten back to me. But I don't want to bug him, hence the reason I'm checking to see if someone else has it.

It has exceeded the approved import year, you should probably look the seme border route

[b][/b][center][/center] Please I need the help of guru in the house. After major work on my car and having stayed long enough at the Mechanics workshop, I took it to Car wash but i didn't stay with them while washing. I later picked my car and packed it at home but the next after moving a short distance within my area, the car stopped and refused to start. I quickly call my Kazeem and we found that the brain box and connections terminals are already soaked with water as a result of washing the car interior with pressure washing machine. What is /are chances of reviving my Brain box and the cost of replacement.

#Oga Gazzuz
#Oga nurey and Co

Brain box are identical to laptop motherboard and can be fixed. But you still have to head to ladipo that is where the experts are.

You just Guage replacing price from fixing price and decide which to go for.

KINGreignn:
Lol. Why?

Ford F150

Toyota 4runner/hilux surf

Ford ranger

Of those years can't do What the Nissan is used for. Their rear can't be rebuilt and their body would fall apart easily if they were to be used for such jobs the Nissan is intended for

Only Isuzu tiger can replace it but finding that one nah ultimate search

excanny:
I decided to go for a foreign used one. The info from those locations are mostly Nigerian used.

And you actually got a foreign used unit whao you are the luckiest man alive as at sighting the beast

olaboyeh:
So cerato is a better buy over civic...wow

Better buy depends on the condition of both cars. But be weary of the bought brand new unit of Kia they are mostly of low quality in safety finish.

drakeskull:
I think Rio and Honda city should be compared while Cerato and Civic in the same chain

Honda city is Honda civic of other continent its Honda fit and jazz that is in the Toyota yaris region.

The cerato is also in their class but a bit bigger in size and sometimes engine.

olaboyeh:
Quick one

What do you guys think about about an
08 kia cerato as against 06 civic... getting a clean civic within budget has been a challenge tho...

How do cerato hold up. As compared to civic, Elantra or rio

Cc: nurey

Cerato isn't bad and it is same as the hyundai elantra.

Rio and civic are below the cerator in the food chain

please I want to know how many 50kg bags of garri can be produced from a tonne of cassava, how many 50kg bags of cassava flour (Lafun) can be produced from a tonne of cassava and approximately the weight of cassva stacked into 50kg bag? Thanks in advance

In real life scenario 2tons of cassava should produce 1ton of garri (1000kg) but not always right, it could be more it could be less due to factors you have control over.

1. Cassava variety
2. Grinding
3. Frying

During the raining season you won't get 1 ton of garri from 2tons cassava because there would be more water than Starch.

For the lafun I can't specify because major processing done in my side is flakes they don't mill it to flour. But if you can get the expected dry weight of cassava (should be available online from project works) you will have the lafun tonnage

Weight stacked in bags is not uniform but the paint rubber is 2.5kg to 2.7kg depending on the size but a standard 50kg flour bag filled to the brim is more than 50kg
