I am trying to buy Nissan Murano 2005. Kindly advise if there is any issue with that model of Nissan. Thanks

Nissan Murano

Engine VQ35DE 240hp one of the most reliable Nissan engine with several awards won. fitted into 10+ models. you won't have issues with this.

Engine QR25DE 4cylinder engine unfortunately it's only available in Japanese market. I doubt of you will easily find one in Nigeria.

Engine others incase you are buying naija used and it's cheap I mean cheap yeah cheap is subjective but when it's cheap and too good to be true then shine your eye it can be cloned engine meaning you are buying nothing but a LEMON.

Nissan CVT transmission this transmission fails apparently follow manufacturer recommended change interval the transmission shouldn't fail unexpectedly my advice for prolonging the transmission life is to replace with the recommended CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION FLUID aka CVT-fluid Nissan (NS-2) every year.

For AWD variant you have to battle with the dreaded transfer case. The nonsense contraption apparently leaks due to worn out seals if you are lucky to notice the leak early and tackle good, if not baba ruka would be very happy, oil leak transfer case shot worse case scenario transfer case and transmission spoilt, replacement would be needed.

The luxury in the Murano is ahead of it's other competitors, a good car with independent suspension to give a comfortable ride and makes it light with good fuel economy. The 240hp is powerful enough to propel the ride when needed.

would I buy a Murano, definitely YES, I know it's weak points so I just make provision to inspect and change fluids when necessary no time to drive blandness. The parts shouldn't be expensive shares parts with Maxima, quest, teana etc

BB Classic for sale. 5k.

what is wrong with it?

What do you think about Hyundai accent 2006?

I don't think, I know it's a good car to buy as long as you take care of it.

Bosses. I greet u all. I have taken time to read most of the important through ad and am learning. Weldone.

Please what advice would you give to me on maintaining a VW Passat 2009 FSi.

I hope I am not making a wrong decision buying the car?

Please advice.

people are afraid of Volkswagen and it's not far fetched, they majorly have electrical wahala some minor while others are major, the vehicle is luxurious enough so has some high-tech gadgets and wiring that will fail after a long use (nothing last forever).

My advice to you though is to always work with a scan tool when faults arise like car in limp mode, miss firing etc look for a professional who knows about VW/AUDI or you research symptoms of a problem the car develops and guide kazeem on what to do while monitoring with close marking.

Thanks bro.
So btw the EOD 05 and the DC 06-07 which is more cheaper to maintain especially in terms of fuel economy and parts purchase?

There is only minor exterior difference both maintenance should be same as 95% parts are shared.

same 2.4L i4 and same 3.0L V6 gear for 05 to 07 is solid than 03 and 04.

Thanks but it is not just about "Baby Boy"

In other cars as well, such as buying a 1.6L engine for a formerly 1.8L engine VW Golf (ECU controlled) for example, will anything change?

Yes let's take golf 3 for example

The engines available are 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.5 etc.

if you are changing from higher to lower or vice versal you will need need to change somethings depending on whether you are going higher or lower.

1. Engine seating

2. carburetor to injector

3. gear type, lower engines may have 4speed while higher will have 5 speed the lower speed may not be able to accommodate change in power output hence erratic motion and lift off, vibration during change in gear.

4. ECU may need to be upgraded/changed/remapped.

5. Wire harness to important components.

6 belts and pulley change since pulley teeth May differ and diameter change calls for change in belt circumference.

etc.

Hello Cartalkers, I have been wondering what might happen if I drive a 2.0L Honda Accord and replaces the engine when it is old with say, a 2.4L Engine.

My friend drives has a 2001 Honda Accord (baby boy) and while he travelled and the valves bent as a result of snapped timing belt. He left the car there and went to the nearest autoparts market and bought another engine, which he didn't know is the 1999 model engine (probably with higher displacement) and after it was installed, he complained of slightly higher fuel consumption.

My questions are:
1. Will the Ecu adjust fuel values for the new engine?
2. Will it affect fuel consumption?

1998 to 2002 Honda Accord had only 2.3L engine, it's not possible to fit a 2.4L KA20A into baby boy like ABC, the 2.4L is different in appearance, more expensive to purchase and an headache for kazeem to fit it correctly into the baby boy.

The 2.0L was available in rear markets like Philippines and new Zealand for the DX model. but American had 2.3 as standard depending on trim would determine output of the 2.3L

Evening,would you advice someone to buy 2007-8 G35 or G35x for use in south eastern states that have bad road network plus we are in rainy season... thank you

As long as the rear differential and transfer case don't scrap or knock the ground often you are ok.

jceesquare:
Yeah I know it can't be the real thing cos it will cost the owner an arm and a leg to restore one. I just wanted to know the retro design that was copied and the power plant under the hood.
Having one of those toys would be sweet for petrol heads.

power plant, I don't know just saw the car in my area and snapped. it's just a kit car, I don't expect any powerful engine in it.

Saving lifes since 1999,if u know u know

driving:
I like the car...please what should i be worried about sirs?

Oga go fort and buy the car as long as the specimen I. question is in good order. I have personal experience with this ride, my brother bought his from UK converted it for 120k he paid 600k plus custom fees ooo. if we buy 3k fuel then from reserve nah full tank so.

The NAtS do misbehave when the battery is low and when you use the key you turn your car into a police car with siren

The Chinese no dey hear word, they will even copy the judge if he is not careful

jceesquare:
Which motor be that?
I love retro the look.

It's a kit car was supposed to look like one old school benz

Yea I remember that scenario but it might not necessarily be the same car though, I discovered recently that there are a number of these cars in Nigeria and sadly all their owners think they have themselves the real deal. The original car (1929 Mercedes SSK Gazelle) looks slightly different, most of these kits are built on vw chassis with carbon fiber body. Regardless I still want me one sha �

That pile of ackwardly shaped edged slab?

I like it like that especially the wagon. It's not that Ugly in real life though it's issue is just majority come in RHD (UK import).

one of my brothers has used it before manual variant and it's performance is top notch. I would rather buy this pile of edged slab with reverse Cam, Nav screen, scanner code screen warning, MPG calculator on screen and cool looking dash than the Corolla

kingreign:
Never ! That have similar levels of technology.
No be Nissan P11 wey sabi damage it'd CVT gearbox wey I know?

The Nissan CVT is top notch. The P12 not P11 is more advanced than Corolla

kingreign:
2008 corolla?

03-07 corolla

driving:
Hello guys, please is Nissan primera a good car? 2005 model

yes it is, far more technologically advance than Corolla

me I like gossip and putting my mouth in wetin no consign me.

Let me wait for the threatened and the threatee for a showdown

Update;
So this week has been good to me,so what better way to do it than pay some of the favours forward?
So I thought of the people I could make happy and I remembered guess who?my dad.
So I went to him on Wednesday and told him to calculate all his rent backlogs and we did it and it amounted to 330k.
Oh Yeah?I said oh Well,get in the car so we go see the estate agent managing the property.
Got there and the woman was being rude and all.
The usual me would have bashed the hell out of the fool but I wasn't just in the mood for any fight.
So I sat and listened while she ran her mouth.
Excused my self in the middle of the talk,went to my booth and brought the money in cash and dropped on her table.
You needed to see the surprise on everyone's face since no one expected it
She was confused perhaps because she thought I was one of the numerous people that came to beg on his behalf
Then I dropped the bomb!told her this was my DAD!
So watch the things you say before I scatter this your crappy office I said to myself.
So everyone was happy,exchanged pleasantries and left.
She even invited me to her church this Sunday since we happen to live close by
No be you be dey make noise just now?(money good o)
Well...
I left abruptly because I had a meeting to attend with some people.
Wasn't doing much after that day so I said I will pay them a surprise visit soon.
Woke up today and was bored and I just decided to go there and see how they were faring.
I didn't call anyone yet and just jumped In the car and drove.
I didn't know it was sanitation sef and got into some serious issues with the law.i payed and sweet talk my way out sha and made some new friends.
I like keeping as much law enforcers as possible because one never knows!
Anyways,when I was like 10 minutes away from his house,I called and lucky enough I did else I would have wasted my time going all the way as there wasn't anyone home.
He directed me to his new job and it wasn't too far from where I was so it was a win win for me.
I got there and saw him,we both smiled and all..
Directed me on where to park while other workers were saying no no you can't park here,he shunned everyone that this is my son!lol..
He was with one man and when he introduced me as his son,the guy was surprised!like he didn't know he has such a grown up son lol and I am BIG in stature.
Got out and greeted everyone,discussed with some people and he took me in.
He kept introducing me to everyone as his son and I saw how happy he was to do it.and we look so much alike sha.
So you could be proud of me like this and you want kill me when I dey your house lol.i said to myself of course.
But I did not like the way I saw him and his new job.
It isn't much tbh and I believe he should not be doing this at this age!
We talked about the things I saw there and I even got some business idea from them.well,we'll look into that later...
Exchanged pleasantries again and I told him I am leaving.wished me farewell and the guy he was with said something to me in igbo that touched me to the bone.
He said;ka unu ne nekota nna gi o maka na obu so unu ka anyi ji enwe hope.meaning you people should be taking care of your father's because all our hopes are on you guys.
I said ok and I drove off..but on my way I wasn't myself because of what that guy said.
I was thinking a great deal and decided to let all that vendetta go almost immediately.
Pulled up at the nearest ATM and withdrew 150k.
Turned and sped to his job again.
After like 5 mins,I got back there and he was still outside with that man and they spotted me.
Pulled in again,got down and handed him the cash...
There was just so much awe in the air and I decided to leave immediately!I don't like all the thank you stuff.makes me feel somehow.
So he walked me again to the car,this time,he spotted my cigarette and lighter where I keep it by the door
We laughed about it,hugged him and I zoomed off!
That was how I spent my today and I have been happy since.
Atleast I made someone happy today
I am planning a big surprise for them this year,perhaps October or so....
Life is nothing las las and it wouldn't make sense to be ok while your blood perish!
After all ndi igbo si;onye ji ego emegbuna nwanne ya and I so much love this saying.like take care of family if you can.
N.a. so o.ka odi wa,nsogbu adiro.

Good I would have have bashed you if you continued to hold grudges against them.

A man is not successful if he is rich and people around him are in penury.

if you had done the worst by separating your dad from the woman and leave her to fend for herself and the kids, imagine if she isn't upto it and some of your step Brothers become nuisance to the society one day karma will bring you face to face with them they could be robbers,thugs etc and harm you and your family in that instance.

Then you will regret using your power for evil rather than good back then.

What is your recommendation

Civic noni

weyreypey:
Hmmm why is it that you don't recommend cars that gives peace of mind to the owner?!

Like Mess- Sidi- Best ?

.....ahahahahahahhhahahhaha....did u say boku!!!!!!!!
Na good news b dt so far.

So for a 6.5" tall dude, which of them would you recommend?

Cost range of btw 800k-1.4m max

When buying a Peugeot it's is always better to buy the manual transmission, Peugeot and automatic nah bone of contention.

I did say 206 I have driven it and I am very tall, it's comfortable for the driver but the rear passenger leg room suffers. 406 too is good, 407, 307 all these are within range of your budget.

Peugeot doesn't like electrical abuse very sensitive, timing belt too needs replacement with original. Then if you can afford pp2000 for scanning the car, you will enjoy your Peugeot.

But with the price jumia is giving us ,, these phones has no match, I doubt if they are really good

Leeco is good from online reviews, Infact someone saw my phone (Leeco le2 X526) and I was shocked she said a friend also bought a brand new one at ikeja for 25k and that the brand is good.

mine is 3gig 64gig I bought from jumia at 36k ordered in March delivered 4th April and I have never had course to regret. but it is currently sold for 44k by jumia now it's borne out of the fact that competitors prices are expensive than Leeco so sellers are trying to take advantage

winner915:
How about their mechanic here in the south with Lagos being the location in view

Dem Boku Wella. Peugeot is everywhere 4 my area

...just reminiscing about my childhood and remembered vividly that whenever we were gathered and discussing our different futures at the time, this was the common conclusion that "...WHEN I GROW UP MY FIRST CAR WILL BE PEUGEOT 504, 505 etc"

Guys, when I where did Peugeot get it wrong, apart from federal govt workers now when Dy manage use am (I stand corrected anyways), these cars don Dy slowly turn MAMMOTH or even SASQUATCH wey Dy either go into extinction or perhaps shy of civilization...inshort, PEUGEOT don turn the ABORIGINALS of Australia.....lol

Guys, what are your takes...

if I have extra cash on me I would buy the Peugeot 206 CC or 206 SW without blinking an eye lid.

Peugeot plenty in the north pass any other car 306, 206, 406, 407, 307, 301 all reliable vehicles.

certifiedvik:
But the specification of all these leeco phones get as e be,, helio x20 for #31k ,,, since 2017 sharp z2 with the same chip set never drop price, still at #49k

Leeco is not for everybody, the last phone they released is in 2017, but I can tell you their snapdragon phones are worth every penny and reliable too.

better you buy umidigi or Xiaomi
