I have a toyota corolla bought for The 1.8m for uber use on hire purchase.
Is it better for me to do car insurance or install a tracker. And can I get a good tracker with around 70,000.
Urgent answers needed please. Thanks.

Cc: lalasticlala

insurance better as u dont have to stress urself. The insurance coy takes care of the loss and reimburse you.

tracker is good and depending on the type used you can sometimes disable vehicle with it. With tracker you have to mobilise the NPF to help follow the location of the vehicle. cars with trackers sometimes are not found some due to network others due to sophistication of the theft

diportivo:
what kills the engine?

asking for a friend pls

The engine burns oil couple with abuse and wrong oil usage you have a disaster in The making.

Also weak seals on high mileage ones mostly those bought as tokunbo causing oil external leak, a very stressful fix especially behind The engine.

timing chain rattling on poorly used ones which could cause drivability issues.

Plse I need ur contributions, I venturing into commercial transportation bizness, and I have in mind to buy a Volkswagen Lt28 bus since it is the most popular bus used for transportation in Lagos, but of recent i met a person that said the bus is bad,so I need gurus that have experience with that bus to give their suggestions abt the bus

the LT is a good car, the 28 is good for transport while 35 is good for cargo. most in bad condition are diesel due to scarce hands and dirty diesel sold at fueling station

mmb:
so I should not buy the 2.0?

you can buy but it requires extra care than The 2.5

Good day please I am having problem with my 2011 Corolla when ever I put on the ac the temperature goes up above normal even at night and I went to my mechanic, he told me the thermostat is bad that I should remove it that's the only solution which I have read a lot about thermostat is there any where I can get a new one please or should I just do away with it before over heating spoils my engine thanks

very vague diagnosis from your mechanic.

anyway probably your fan is faulty for the AC reason why the temperature goes up only when it is on. let the mechanic replace the thermostat if faulty.

let a rewire check your fan motor and replace if faulty

you should not run fan direct or remove thermostat without proper plan to replace it.

goodluck

mmb:
pls I don't understand the bolded.

try as much as possible to get 1 fitted with 2.5L engine

mmb:

The Nissan sentra is a well built car but I am sure your 2.0L engine will kaput before The cvt gear.

But The 2.5L sentra R abi nah V-spec engine on The other hand nah Baba. Goodluck with your choice.

Tongsman:
Why not head on to AE for the Umidigi, I've not seen very good reviews about Leeco

Oga I am phoneless so I can't do anything online that much. I ordered through jumia with my sisters account.

The leeco x526 with snapdragon chipset is a solid phone and has roms at XDA one of the reasons I overlooked it's outdated OS

Lexusgs430:
I heard BB10 no get WhatsApp nah...... You no dey use WA?.....

it does. I am currently using my trusty old q5 but it has some glitches. The disadvantage in BB10 is u can send or upload via whatsapp but you can download or forward a pix u downloaded on whatsapp.

if you get q10 or q20 forsale or dash let me know my money done hang for jumia, I done zero my mind till April ending b4 I get stable phone

for almost 3weeks now no phone. Ordered for the A3 pro was cancelled by jumia after a week, then I jejely ordered for leeco x526 3gig 64gig that one jumia hasn't said anything sfter almost a week.

computer village isn't smilling either all the phones I love starts from 45 plus it's not worth it for me, I just wanted to try something other than samsung if the leeco thing is negative I will just jejely go and buy BB q10 good bye to android then

It's Possible he was decelerating when he took the picture

1. the pix he took isn't at 190 though but I understand he couldn't take pix at that speed

2. the statement he made that he was at 190 @ 3rd gear, the moment he downshifted to gear 4 b4 3 because he uses an auto not manual there is no way that car was in motion at 190 in 3rd gear

3 if you have used engine breaking b4 then u know it's insane to be in 3rd gear at 190 the rpm would definetly be around 6500 to 7000 for that puny engine something must have broken.

nwanneni:
you can't possibly know it all men. That is a 100mph clearly. What if I was downshifting Have you thought of that?

han han nwanneni 3Rd gear @ 190km/h 1.8L turbo engine.
if you don't fear God atleast fear law of thermodynamics.

tundeadeyemo:
nurey tnx a lot. I've surveyed that too just that those garage chairmen won't load your car regularly and demand huge pay whenever you're loaded. I want something that'll have nothing to do with NURTW, a cool business that can fetch me 20k per day. this is why I'm looking at the Ford Econoline too to get advise on what I can use it for. tnx

The only vehicles that bring in such amount free of NURTW wahala but not police, army, LG boys and area boys are

nissan kingcab
nissan cabster
toyota dyna
mitsubishi canter

in the right location you can make 15 to 20k profit per trip or even more. example

The nissan kingcab carries 70 bags of charcoal from abeokuta to lagos each bag cost 1800 the driver is paid 500 per bag that's 35000k

you buy fuel 8k for to and fro pay 2 boys for loading and offloading 2k each that's 4k making 12k

you have 22k left depending on how market is you can make 2 abeokuta delivery and at night you make lagos delivery.

if you wanna make the 20k thing maybe you can ask the lagos north drivers or lagos east drivers they can give you a breakdown of things

sienna intercity sometimes depending on area you can carry 10 passengers, 2 infront, 4 middle and 4 at the rear. though the 10 sitting have only seen at sagamu to abeouta. for ajah to Epe is 9 that's only 3 at the rear seat.

for interstate it's majorly 7passengers for comfortability.

Ford ecoline is too long for passengers it would take time before it gets filled up. Your best bet is to use it like an hire service vehicle use it for home furniture delivery, agricultural goods delivery from one state to another especially ibadan or ogun state to lagos the ecoline should be able to carry 2tons plus.

Floor that baby!!

I hope your tyres are in good condition and can take the speed I won't tell tell you not to live life but ensure you take calculated risk while doing so. If you slam my toyota doing your dangerous stunt I won't take sorry

Swiftinfo:
You are pinpoint correct ... I’m a newbie, the car is in port harcourt, any reliable persons I call contact to get it scanned and send provide me with the codes ?

I don't or can't remember any PH technician here. but try to find a competent tech guy with scanner and check the gear fluid colour and level

Swiftinfo:
Please Masters, I need help for my V6 Toyota Camry 2007 (spider) , I went on a 2-hour journey, suddenly, I notice my car jerked a little and then moved fine again. Then It started slowing down and making a loud howling noise and also the RPM shoots to 5/6, but car is not moving. At a point It came to a final stop. Then I allowed it for like 5 - 10 minutes, I turned it on again, It moved correct and within a few metres started again... the noise and then comes to complete stop, If I allow it for another 5 minutes, It works normal and then again back to the same problem.

Immediately it started, I change the gear oil, as I called my mechanic and he suggest it's oil, Please Help me.

your explanation isn't detailed but it seems you are a newbie.

if car idles but doesn't move it has nothing to do with injectors or fuel pumping. what am saying is your engine doesn't switch off but car refused to move and when you depress the accelerator the rpm just increases like you are warming the car even when the gear is in D.

diagnosis

check gear oil if black or if it is guaged. if black you are in soup if it isn't guaged check under to confirm no leak.

scan gear to confirm error codes.

have you changed gear oil before? what brand did you use?

The 2007 camry had gear issues many complained then when they 1st bought it.

if gear is the culprit change don't repair. but let's know the codes 1st

Rubbiish:
Is there any car that is still more fuel economical than Toyota corolla? Thanks
Cc HeavenlyBang nurey

There are several cars in that category which utilize 2L\100km of fuel.

The easiest you can lay your hands on is toyota prius

As if nobody has ever used his c230 in Nigeria for over 2 years.. The way una dey condemn cars enh

I didn't mention car I was talking about him. My comment isn't about the car itself it is about the owner. I have nothing against Mercedes Benz

infact I think it is the next thing to happen to humans after peanut butter,

Chelseafan1:
I no dey Rev the engine at all. These days on the highway, I hardly get to 60mph, nd I even enjoy the driving.

This car will last me years with my maintenance culture.

just after 2months you are praising yourself, your akant is still bouyant and car still shaking u reason why you are talking like this.

wait after 2years then your maintenance culture will be tested

Deedee27:
Good day house.

I will like you to please help me compare and advise on which is better in terms of maintenance, affordability of spare parts and durability.

KIA SPORTAGE 2008
HYUNDAI TUCSON 2008
JEEP PATRIOT 2008

They all carry 2.0L engine size. The reasons I am considering these vehicles are good ground clearance, low fuel consumption, and I also want something that will be easy to maintain because I will using it as an everyday ride and also some interstate journey.

Thanks in anticipation.

kia sportage
Hyundai Tucson

I don't know much about the jeep patriot. it is more of a hybrid car to me, VW engine, Hyundai gear and some Mitsubishi gear.

The sportage is a solid more popular vehicle, the Tucson is too but majorly I see it with the V6 engine.

The patriot has a poor follower and bad resale value. If you can keep it in mint condition for a long time it could be a classic for your children and grand children they will reap the benefit then

Dear All,
I really enjoyed the topic discussed regards to Lexus rx300 which am planning to get (2000 or 2002 model).

I heard the expert said for Naija used the water in the radiator must be coloured/cleared and not ordinary water is he saying there must be radiator coolant mixed with water in the cooling chamber?

The coolant comes in green and reddish colour,which is better?

Really I have gotten a response from a dealer through this platform for offer at Ikeja car lot for visitation.

the radiator must be filled with coolant. Coolant type depends some are already premixed with water while others need to be mixed with certain litre of water. the gallon information will tell whether its premixed or not

Greenish or reddish doesn't matter, as long as the coolant is of a good quality.
