shhhhh.
There are some Nissan cars that’ll summersault if they entered those potholes
If it ain’t a GTR, then Nissan is a .......
But the Mercedes stood its ground, and that’s what makes it a BENZ

Really, I didn't notice that do tell me such Nissan cause I have several Nissan brands in my fleet

Fooolishbuharri:
Lol baba Benz no be Nissan oh. Those cars are solid. I advise you use one before you bad mouth it and don't base your knowledge on some kazeem's verdict.

Buy a car with good history, change oil as at when due, give it what it requires and it WILL even outlast your Toyota clitoris which it most likely out performs too.

Yes Benz no be Nissan truly, Benz enter pothole you sleep for half star fueling station , Nissan enters pothole, shakes it off and you reach your destination

I came across this car for sale.It is a nissan pulsar but i am unable to find much information about it online.Does it share engine with other models?.What is the engine configuration and fuel economy like?

Nissan pulsar/Almera/Sunny/bluebird name depends on region it came from.

1.5 to 1.8L 4 cylinder highly fuel efficient

It's a reliable vehicle, good and parts available as long as you are using in SW, Nissan parts are expensive in North.

I used the car b4, Almera from Belgium RHD converted and worked well without issues.

Major problems
1. NATS if available can misbehave and cause issues

2. Camshaft and cranshatf sensor can fail at ungodly hours solution is to have extra of the 2 available and a corresponding spanner to loosen it also knowledge of where it is in the engine else you will be stranded or fleeced by mechanic for something you can easily do on your own.

I believe that's an axle fluid. What vehicle and model year are you using?

Cc radautoworks

Broken bottle fragments didn't work saw rat in the same area yesterday jollying and full of spirit though lizard taken to correction.

Next is to use sniper and rodenticide as a deterrent and see whether it would work

Good Morning. I get a very low MPG on my 2008 avalon in the city. I get between 8-10 mpg. I have seen a lot of people saying they get up to 18mpg in the city. Is there anything I need to do better?

Scan the vehicle and fix codes related to emission

Any other rat solution would be appreciated

So I decided to wash my abandoned car today and offcourse check the fluid conditions, lo and behold, rats have made a 2 bedroom flat ensuite in the engine bay.

Agama Lizard too curled up in one corner. okay I checked everywhere and saw that no wire had been tampered with, to forestall electrical issues in future, I decided to use the old folktale of rats afraid of where granules of bottles are placed.

I took a drug bottle and hammered it to pieces and sprinkled it in engine bay where the rat had made it's mark. For the lizard a good smashing of broom in the evening on its head when i come calling would reset his brain from using my car for his personal abode if he survives the carnage.

Hi boss Nurey and Heavenlybang, please between Hyundai Tucson 2007-2009 and Toyota Rav 4 2007-2010, which is more reliable and easy to own. Thanks boss

Rav4 as Toyota is high on the reliability list than any other maker if finance is not an issue

People say the 4 speed gear are less expensive to replace and less prone to damage than the 5 speed 13pin gear, how through. Planning to get a 5 speed i4 2005 version. someone said I should go for the 2004 that it is 4 speed and cheaper

4speed is old tech, it would be cheaper than 5 speed doesn't mean it's better than 5speed, buy any of the two, they would serve well when maintained

Kokomo:
I heard the gear of one is sensitive and more expensive

Maybe the 3.3L V6 fitted ones, but those vehicle are good as long as it's well maintained

snipesdam:
At least acknowledge progress. I've seen the tree grow in real tropical climates not the kind in jos. Meanwhile you don't know my geo location.

Yes you have achieved a feat seed germination against all odds and I commend you for that.

The fruiting on the field is the real icing on the cake.

Same thing I want to say, how would it fruit without the required weather conditions.

Apple can grow in JOS and some parts of Ogunstate due to the terrains ability to simulate winter weather.

Don't count your chickens yet sha until tree fruits

adeememman:
Hello Sir.
Which durable cuv/SUV will great fuel economy will you recommend in the price range 2.5 million which is 08 and above.( not necessarily Toyota)
Secondly, what is your opinion on the 09/10 Toyota matrix.

CUV and SUV aren't known much for great fuel economy compared to sedans. They are useful for ground clearance to wade through pool of water and bad roads and offcourse cargo and interior space. The price point and year don't match, as your budget is too low for something regular. But look at my list and then head to jiji and see what year your money can afford
Honda Element/CRV/HRV
Hyundai Tucson
Nissan Xtrail
Kia sportage

The matrix is okay as it shares parts with Corolla but body parts of matrix is expensive, I love the design and the cargo ability but be weary of 4wd variant especially those from Canada as the rear axle may come with rust which is an expensive replacement

olumzzz:
Why didn't you add Toyota rav4 to the mix?

Toyota products are expensive, his budget may not buy pass 2005 rav4

graysight:
Please help

if I had 3.5m, I would be looking at CUVs
07 upwards
Honda Element
Honda CRV
Nissan Qashqi or Qashqi II
mitsubishi ASX
kia sportage
hyundai Tucson

because of bad roads and offcourse CUV can get loaded without reduction much in ground clearance

but If nah sedan

Honda civic/Acura CSX 06 upwards
kia Soul
Acura TSX
Nissan Sentra 2010 upwards

olumzzz:
Good day guys, Pls Lexus 2003 ES300 vs Lexus 2004 ES330. Which would you recommend? What are the pros and cons of each? Thanks

ES300-1mz vs ES330-3mz
300 cheaper parts than 330.
3mz better in fuel consumption than 1mZ
3mz better response than 1mz
330 majorly has a nav screen 300 is rather rare.
shape of both are same.
I would pick a 330 in good condition.

I studied agriculture but I have 10years experience in the position, started off as a clerk in computer engineering company, promoted to a system engineer and worked my way as a system administrator before I ended up as a partner

Had a promising and fun filled days in the job until I left that line though.

computer science graduates most times don't know jackshit about computer repairs.

would have loved to apply if I knew how much the job would pay

goodluck

dicksonadams:
. You gain it back in resale value

wrong.

02-2005 civic is sold 1.5m

03 to 05 Corolla is 1.9 to 2.3m for tokunbo

naija used

civic clean in good condition 800k (700k) difference

Corolla in good condition 1.2 to 1.5m (700-800k) difference.

so how do you gain it in resale value if I pitch it with 06 to 11 civic, the civic is a better buy. Corolla is highly over priced

MOTIONTECH:
Goodmorning house i was wondering,Is it legal to ride a 100cc motorcycle on Lagos road privately, an example of a 100cc bike is the regular bajaj and tvs motorcycles we see everywhere.Thanks in anticipation of your response.

It is illegal if police or task force nab you, they would size the bike except you are ready to settle heavily

slapacha:
Nurey pleas answer this man, Someone is in the same shoes with him.
Selecting between Corolla 09 and Camry 09 tokunboh

Corolla for fuel economy, camry 4 cylinder for executive status and minimal fuel economy while V6 for driving dynamic

Sbclothings:
now I guess I have to find one pls am paying on Tuesday pls anyone with a contact pls

I am not in Ogun state anymore now in Benin. Ask friends that use benz so they can introduce you to a good technician for inspection

PrinceDave001:
Thanks,please how bad is the fuel consumption of the pilot,heard the fuel consumption is very bad.

Among other competitions it is average but not same or identical to the accord

freemayor4u:
Thank you Gazzuz emancrcute
I have opened the bonnet but could not find this module on the SUV
This mybos 2007 highlander not 08
Attached is the pictures

Full engine pix. The box should be close to the battery side on the right side if facing the engine.

Modified it's a 3MZ

HeavenlyBang:
That picture has nothing to do with a Legend of any sort.

That exact accord in Nigeria has 3 badges either accord, tsx or legend. That's what I have seen. I am just informing the op if what I see incase he comes across any of the 3 the tsx is better than the remaining 2. The legend maybe a foul but I have seen it several times.

GAZZUZZ:
Work is moving slow, as there is no pressure.

Engine oil inspected and found to be milky.

Engine must have had a history of overheating.

No metal particles in base of engine .

At this point a decision has to be made between a replacement and a rebuild.

I have micra engine, buy and transplant instead of rebuilding or replacing , I offer 1 hour warranty on the micra engine

jabolo:
That sedan that has as much Torque as the SUV you have in mind.

You are an ASE technician I bow

Gravatar:
Ah, but you literally typed Honda Legend in the post you made and I quoted




Meanwhile the Legend has never had the exterior rear fascia shown in the picture he posted. That rear only fits the TSX, or the European Accords.

The Legend is Honda's flagship sedan in many regions. Not to be compared with Accords and lesser sedans

what is really the issue. that shape comes in 3 badges of Accord, Legend or TSX and I said TSX is always luxurious than Legend and legend is a tad improvement than Accord badge, the person I quote knows what am talking about don't bother yourself

Gravatar:
Boss, no be so o.

The Legend is an entirely different vehicle. That's the Honda Flagship, also known as the Acura RL or RLX. It's far above the level of the Accord or TSX.

I am not talking of the Honda legend or Acura legend.

the shape he showed always comes in 3 badge, Accord, TSX and legend. So depends on which badge that shape gan gan is carrying

jabolo:
I disagree somewhat - from an Engineering perspective. It's a comfortable rule of thumb but it's the Engine Torque figure that counts, or rather the Torque curve (availability at low RPM is important). Some sedans have more torqued engines than some SUVs so this generalization doesn't hold.

And, the chassis/transmission/suspension of any car - Sedan or SUV - would be (or, ought to be) designed to handle the maximum Torque it can produce from its belly.

Thank you engineer but you have still not told us what sedan has the required torque to tow out an SUV from a gully.

I don't want to delve much into physics but you realize a gully would require two forces upwards and forwards, an SUV in itself would find it hard to tow another SUV from that gully compared to a sedan.
