Please advice on which is best, Toyota corrola 2005 or Hyundai accent 2012. Want to use it as a daily driver and e hailing when free. Same price range, both Nigerian used. Cc Gazzuzz nurey

Still urgently looking for a sound/good corrola 05-07 at a reasonable price if any, please recommend.

Dicey situation, that 011 to 16 accent engine were notorious for been ubrepairable when faulty as long as the specimen u buying dey good condition better to pick it over a Corolla.

Why not find an Elantra of equal price like 08 to 2010

AutoManual:
As at when you change your bolt joints did it last for more or less than a year.

I am not formalier with the sound so to just avoid it is to make a accurate circulation as to maintainance for leg change routine same as oil change.

Also abeg is it advisable to change all the mout or just find the bad one? There is a part seller in jiji I called he said I should find the bad one and change that one. Also since the tokunbo is better I would have like the fact you bought it that price if I can get it for that price.

I disposed the car years ago sef I don't change the shaft regularly some 3years b4 changing my roads are good in my location then.

Mounts advice is to change all if possible, when one is bad it affects others. Honda is known for mount problems, if you can afford to change all good, if too pricy change only the extremely bad ones.

Tell your mechanic to remove the bad ones, carry them go enter market and price it maybe cheaper at your end. I bought tokunbo because my honda mount has hydraulic fluid in them I was told new ones won't last because of bad or low quality fluid used.

As a newbie to car, your mechanic must fleece you first but beg him to buy correct parts for you and always ask for replaced bad part just to be sure he changed them, it will put the fear of God in him

Buying car is easy, maintaining them is the hard part, guess nobody told you that, spare part prices have gone through the roof live with it or take transport.

Lobolintin:
I want to go for
5th Gen Volkswagen Jetta 2006-2009..

Any consideration and advice..
That's the cheapest car I could get for #1

Never buy a VW because its cheap.

Going forward VW don't like abuse ensure the components are in good working conditions. If the engine is turbo I advice u stay away cause low quality oil destroys VW engine faster than anything.

It is also highly wired with several sensors, buy an handheld scanner so you can help kazeem to help you

Good evening and other car gurus,

1) I will be changing my Corolla 2010 wheels from steel alloy and I am considering changing the TPMS and I searched for the ones for the car using the Part Number but I couldn't get them. I am considering buying from aliexpress.
TPMS Part numbers
FCC: PAXPMV107J
IC: 3729APMBV107J

2) I also want to clean, restore and protect the car headlights as I noticed they are beginning to lose brightness. Can I buy any of those Chinese made headlights restore kits in the market? I am scared of damaging the headlights because they are follow come

1. Read the review of the product if it will work.

2. If you feel you can do it no problem, DIY is a learning point for all, if you damage it, you can pay an expert to redo it.

Oh one more thing @ the bolded, I paid for the knowledge I have and still acquiring till date. I burn over 120gb or data every month for videos and online courses in auto repairs and I also paid for professional courses and research. I stay awake till early in the morning and a lot of times I don’t sleep at night damaging my health and risking my life, while at you are busy snoring loudly in your sleep, and you want that knowledge for free?

You are a sly, cunning, dishonest fellow who wants to unsurp from others by reaping where you did not sow!

You like to dey shalaye

AutoManual:
i told him to check the bad one. he said i should all. back and front new one.

i dont just want a back and font. i wanted to order online from jiji but it seems they are new. please can you help me buy tonkubo from where you bought yours? please you can waybill them for me.

when i tried reverse today the front tyre climbs the road pavement it was a big bang. Since then the sound worst oh now. Also the guy I bought the car from said I should change the bolts joint yearly as maintainance that I will never experienced bolt joints problem.

But my mechanic said 1 year is too much as preventive measures. Is 1year bolt joints maintainance too far?

I bought mine in Benin Uselu Abu nah uwelu part market but I have since left benin now in another state.

I used an 06 for 7years and didn't have on ball joint pull, what I do is to have it checked when I hear any sound coming from the front legs, I always buy tokunbo not new shafts anytime I need them replaced.

Your vehicle is V6 different from i4 I would say talk with hondajosh if you need new parts he is tested and trusted and will waybill from lagos, if nah tokunbo ask gazzuzz if he can help.

AutoManual:
How much is engine mount currently?

My mechanic put a call to the market the seller said the front 9k back 7k now.

This seem to be heavy amount. As I need to change the two front tyre side mirror.

Motor na heavy Borden imagine money just going to fix this and that.

The engine mount and tyre seems to be important for now. Then change engine oil and gear oil. Only nor be small thing.

That is the exact price for tokunbo, though the bigger the more expensive. Brand new is 12 to 15k. Go for tokunbo if you don't trust your mechanic, let him loosen the seat and you enter market yourself but I bought tokunbo engine seat december 7k each one front one back for K24A honda engine

Pneumaa:
Hey guys, I'm in a fix here.. I wanted an SUV but a deal for a Hyundai elantra popped up, please advice between Rav4 2008 Nigerian used vs Hyundai Elantra 2015 toks standard both going for 3m+ range?

If your roads are good go for hyundai if not stick with the rav4 or look for a more recent kia sportage/hyundai Tucson

There's no viable business I could run with 25k

Affordable used cloths, buy and market to your friends who in turn help advertise your product to more friends

Phone accessories business, charging cable, memory cards, casing of the most popular brands, you can start infront of ur house with no need for shop.

You can even use the money to learn computer typing MSword, excel etc work there learn the ropes of running a business centre is due time you can learn Adobe photoshop or corel draw for graphics design work.

You can buy foodstuffs from local market and sell to your neighbours, yam, bag of garri and sell in smaller quantities even vegetables which are money spinners.

You can keep chicken if your backyard allows, buy local birds which are hardy and keep if you get fridge kill refrigerate and sell as frozen chicken in kg.

So many businesses you can start small and grow big in. You are only incapacitated by yourself not by government, leave certificate for now, get busy b4 1 year of hustling things would change for the better

Its brandnew nah, buy from a reputable shop that gives warranties incase of factory fault undetected.

As for copper, check the alternator side, if the generator allows it, the coil will be golden in colour, if it is silver, its aluminum coil.

Some do open it up to show you, some slap copper coil insignia on their products. But ask the seller that you want copper coil not aluminum

HilcomTech:
Wow... So it's not even true that I need another type of tyres specifically for allow wheels

Or probably you misunderstood the guy, 15inch tyre will work with any 15rim whether alloy or steel.

But if current have 15steel rims and decided to upgrade to 16inch alloy rim, your current tyres won't work with new rim.

SouthernPlateau:
No be lie, but you know say if person don realise the reality, taking the bull by the horn in Nigeria no be small WarFilm. However i believe thats where the true light at the end of the tunnel is

Yes it isn't easy but an adage says if you fail, try, then try and try again till u succeed. Get rich or die trying

Lannister360:
Abeg shut up you preveledge brat, I've see people with good skills, people you can't stand in any aspect, people who are probably more intelligent that you with no job. De here de talk rubbish

Privileged I be confirm ajepako, my father only left me with a good name no riches or properties.

Yes I wasn't brilliant I school because I found d out education is not the key but one of the gateways to success.

Intelligence can only get you so far but making it In life commands more than being intelligent.

I am not rich but i am comfortable because i didn't complain about the realities in Nigeria, i used information at my disposal to prepare for future.

Soon fuel prices would skyrocket because subsidies must go a very business acumen individual should know this is the time to buy things and keep and sell at a profit in future, it's not exploitation, its business.

Entanglement:
you are a stupid ediot for saying this rubbish
Do you know how many trade business and entrepreneur jobs created by the youth has been short down due to your stupid govt policy?

You funny gan

I am not the originator of your problem abeg, hold you LG and state government responsible

gaddafe:
These are theories. Easier said than done. One singular government policy can crash whatever business idea you come up with. That is the reason we clamour for good governance. Just as an Example is the POS business that was almost destroyed as a result of the recent cash confiscation policy.

Now let's go practical and be realistic. I run businesses in Nigeria so one of the biggest problem we face is government policies. If as a man in Nigeria you finally have a business idea today. The government will tell you in plain terms that it does not have any policy or plan in helping you start out. Not even with the assistance of low interest loans. So you are left to sort out cash from God knows where. Say you finally somehow got assistance from a Family member and you open the business. In a week time, government officials will come there and tell you your business is substandard and they will threaten you to shut it down. How does the government expect someone without government assistance to start up a standard business in today's economy? This cut across every sector. As a result of this problem people resort to bribing the officials so their business will not be shut down. There is a solution to this problem. Fortunately or unfortunately, it is a political one. And the reason we all realise the government is the cause of unemployment the better. Government ( state government) can create Jobs by making the environment friendly to business just starting up. This will motivate people to start up jobs

I always say that the first help gov renders to you is enabling environment which Nigeria gov has failed partially, then tax policy is how gov officials greet you, multiple taxation in all forms.

But people still succeed against all odds. The country is not too favorable but we must surge on and do everything to succeed

HellVictorinho7:
minus me

Infact you are number one

GeneralShepherd:
Posts like this boil my blood. The unemployment rate in Nigeria is at about 29% , it is about 3% in Canada.

Tell me something, you think that young Nigerians don't think outside the box but Canadians can?

As long as we have people like you that don't recognize we have a systemic problem, unemployment will only continue to increase

At the end of my post I acknowledge the fact that gov, inflation and other economic vices is a challenge but while advocating for better governance we shouldn't sit down and fold our arms, the struggle must continue and hope one day for break through

HellVictorinho7:
stop using we

I have to use "we" because not only op, myself including and many others

Greenfaces:
When we are settled, we often think our struggling counterparts are lazy or uninterested.

On the contrary I don't think the op or other youths commenting are lazy never met them personally. But I know the norm

Ogaonos:
but d youth are nt to be blame. at all.infact they are trying .the yputh have succeded in following areas
1)entertainment industry music nd new nollywood
2) successfully organising endsars protect against police butality what was d gpvt response (lekki toll gate)
3)Due to d lession learn frm endsars d youth decided to become d electorates to change things in d govt in which they drag peter obi on twitter to run for president that hw peter obi came into d picture.it was d same yputh dt form d name obidient from obi on twitter.what was govt response thru inec we all knw d electoral violence nd rigging by inec
4) the issue of yputh nt want to learn handwork is true but cause by yputh lost in fsith of d education system (a thug is a billionaire wby a phd holder is begging for driver wrk )
5)parent contribute to the issue of handwork issue in their children.many parent believe dt certificate still wrks .when u tell parent to enrol their children to learn a trade or skills the child might like before such child enta into university they ignore u nd enrol d child into university after 4yrs of being brain stress by d time they graduate to go back nd do those skills become a problem .
6)lastly d incompetent private stakeholders in economic sectors who dnt kbw hw to fixtheir sector or advise govt right in hw govt can come in to assist them to fix sector .eg lack of private owed farm estate is whst is greatly affect agriculture sectors

I have read ur write up, it's TRUE the blame isn't only on the youths, the country is currently wired to frustrate you but still we shouldn't complain and sit down waiting for a miracle rather pick ourselves up and do something about it.

I graduated in 2013 or 14 went for service but b4 service I made money through computer repairs I learned in 2005 upwards.

After service no job I went back to my mum's shop and continued with her, I was about to get my own shop and start selling caprisonne as a wholesaler/retailer when the mkt was demolished luckily for me, I got a job a month after the ugly experience

I did that job for a year b4 the company ran aground due to debt and bad management then Jonathan policy affected them. I took the half a million I had got something from my mum and went into farming garri precisely I had already lost 1m In Farming in 2012 so the experience i gained there made my garri business a success. I don't want to talk about my experience because that business wasn't rosy at first but due to perseverance I was able to pull through.

There are private agric business in Nigeria ran on thousands of hectares but as people say if you never reach anoda man farm u go think say nah ur papa farm big pass.

Lagos wey everybody wan go is not the only place to make cool cash people dey cash out from other states in transport/haulage, buying and selling, farming etc

Neat with AC

[quote author=Ebierensima post=122030074][/quote]1. It's not government job to provide you jobs rather government is supposed to provide enabling environment. Waiting for government is tantamount to failure.

2. Majority of youths in the 20th and upwards generation don't want to learn a trade, go to those during handiwork you rarely see them have work boys the youths don't want to get their hands dirty.

3. Many of us refuse to learn from our parents. My mother owns a shop and I served her 10years I have 10years experience in marketing and human relation, I can sell shit and feaces to anybody from what I have learned.

4. We blame everybody but ourselves, government no give me job, why are my parents poor, my school refused to give me necessary skills etc. Stop complaining go out there and fix ur poblem.

5. Unable to think out of the box. I don't take nonsense from any employer I am ready to resign if the working conditions aren't favourable because I learned 3 trades I can venture into, I can also use my handiwork to make a living.

6. Fear of the unknown. This has incapacitated many people, what if I fail, what if I loose well there is a saying "no risk, no reward" try to take risk and God willing even when you fail you have learned to do better again.

7 certificate. Many graduates think because they went to school they can't do a certain job, because people will.laugh at dem. My first million idea came from paupers who showed me a problem and I decided to abandon my certificates, got dirty and today it's a success story.

8. Not moving with the right crowd. Stop I want to go to unilag, and work with Chevron and start thinking about problems in your society and solution you can provide and cash out from.

There are others, the country is hard and inflation is biting hard, white collar jobs are diminishing but their are opportunities available all around us, find a problem in ur immediate environment and a cost effective solution and cashout.

I have
1. visaphone X3
2. Motorola V500
3. Samsung slide
4. Sendo X
5. Sagem MC3000
6. BlackBerry bold X2
7. Android phones assorted 7pieces
8. Tecno torchlight X2
9. Sagem S7
10. Some other assorted brands

Some are without batteries, some have good screen bad panel some nah ba3 dey worry dem but they are faulty. I don't have receipt for them ooo, I no dey keep receipt of phone wey I buy.

How much you go buy all, give me price for here. After that we will enter laptop matter I used to work as a laptop engineer i have more than 20 scraps of that one put make we arrange phone price first then we fit fall into laptop deal.

I also don't have pix obviously you don't expect me to have pix of scrap tons in my phone

I get scrap printer too,UPS etc I want to hand over my scrap to you for monetary gains

Kasdat5:
These were old price(s) ..

Nah true Didn't even know there was upward review sef.

I renewed mine last year 25k. B4 that I did personal renewal in 2017 and paid 10k online for 5years but declined recapture that's why I was able to escape their frustration

princely4ever:
What's that like? I mean what's the difference between this official price and the one the driving school gave?
Also, why the rejection or what's the rejection about?

The other money is for necessary docs for getting driving license like driving school certificate, VIO test etc. So better to go through the agents to save your self stress and frustration

Available

princely4ever:
I'm wondering. That's the same price I got from a driving school I called earlier too...
But from internet search I could see something very different which is less than the same amount you mentioned.

Official price 3years 6k
Official price 5years 10k

As a first timer don't go for official price because they will frustrate you, reject your driving school certificate etc

Stephenmoka4:
Same bank should be easier than external bank, how the person got otp is suspicious! I was thinking it was spoofing or cloning but, no.

Still on the matter sha. Will wait for their investigation, I have taken steps too to make the bank liable

Still available
