Used for 500 kilometres ....

Sir, this your bike has accumulated more mileage than a bike commercially ridden in abeokuta for 3 months

how do you know? are you a commercial Okada rider in Abeokuta? nah question I ask oooo

dicksonadams:
What about part availability, leg pull, I dey eye am too cause they are cheaper on jiji than eod new

same part different shell. Though the TSX engine is different as it has more HP and better torque.

never seen that model with leg pull or gear issues like the 03 and 04 EOD

emmancecute:
ASE we know, which one the GLI?

I know this is a very silly question but is there any sedan car able to tow an SUV in a deep gully?

Kingreign
Gazzuz
z
nurey
Heavenlybang

Transmission destruction

suspension collapse

Chassis deformation.

All these can occur when you attempt the feat and when the land caves in more, the sedan could also get pulled into the gully. Look for a good 4WD truck with live axle and enough torque to do it, the only sedan I can think of is all those subaru forester

NobleEngineer:
hello guys, pls what's the difference btw this accord (image attached) and a EOD.

which is very good in terms of performance and others

buy the one in the pix, could come as accord, Honda legend or Acura TSX. depending on which one it is, you get better performance and luxurious accessories than EOD.

TSX better than legend better than Accord

Please I was directed to you to help me out
My 07 highlander fan works both at ignition on position and at start wish should no suppose to be so
Pls help me out it's a toks that was how I peak when it come out from port last week and nothing has been touch on the SUV.
Pls I need your help I don't want kazeem to toy with it
Thanks

This particular model doesn't have issues though compared to the 08 above model year. check if you left the fan on not necessarily with the AC on, just the fan settings.

if that isn't the issue then it's electrical, you need a good technician to trace your issue like Gazzuzz cause me no be car technician

dicksonadams:
Does element suffer from leg pull like most Hondas

No it's an elevated civic chassis. But element keeps true to it's name because it's a combination of several honda and acura cars in one shell.

Hello Oga Gazzuz
I'm having a tough decision choosing between a 2007 accord and a 2005 Honda Pilot (Both Toks).
Can you give a comprehensive insight on both vehicles.
Cc. Nurey and other experts and users in the house.

if you navigate more of bad roads you have no business with a sedan (Accord), if you live in lekki, ikoyi or VI then accord is okay if you don't experience flood during raining season in your area

EazyMoh:
Hello car gurus, after driving a saloon car on our crazy Nigerian roads, I realized the best ride for my kind of movement is an SUV and a Toyota.

I Narrowed down to a 2006 Rav4 or a 2004 Highlander. I'd prefer the Rav4 if I could get the 3row version because it looks better and is smaller. One has to minimize the Highlander attention in this kidnapping era.

So please how common is the 3row Rav4? and may be there is a better option.

I realized they cost about the same.

Other options don't come in third row. if you are afraid of kidnapping and stuff buy a toyota previa, avensis verso or sienna instead atleast they will think you are an interstate driver and let you go.

From your options rav4 with 3rd row seat is bae but the highlander too is ok as it commands more cargo space

ksmart027:
Good day house, please help me compare between 2012 nissan almera vs 2012 honda city both manual trans in terms of part availability, fuel efficient and reliability. Cc nurey, heavenbang, kingreign, 9icetoo,
radautowork and all gurus.

If the Almera is tokunbo which would rather be a blue bird syphylus I did say buy but if nah all those bought brand-new in Nigeria I have my reservation for those.

The Honda city is a better alternative here than the nissan

lexini:
Thanks Gazzuzz

That cost isn’t friendly at all.

Is it possible to rebuild the engine? The issue the car has is overheating - all the time.

Please advise.

unfortunately those engines were built not to be rebuilt. Reason I always advice against 013 upwards kia Rio and hyundai accent.

dharrey2012:
Thanks for all you do, Oga Gazzuzz and all the great minds here.

I have a hard time choosing between these two cars, and I will really like your honest opinion on this;

Toyota Avalon 2005-08; and
Honda Element 2005 and above.

Are they both reliable? I have no issue with fuel or shape. I look forward to your feedback. Thanks

Avalon is a V6 element is a 4 cylinder. Element body parts are scarce and expensive even in Lagos, Avalon has parts available though may be expensive.

Both are rare on road but element is even more rare to come by so you won't get bored of it.

Avalon more luxurious with good build quality, element is too plastiky.

Element has more pimping mods so can be turned from a cat to a lion, Avalon has no pimping mods.

Element if you desire ground clearance and okay with the seating arrangements and offcourse for haulage. Avalon for executive appearance.

Please Bosses in the house, I need a quick one for a very good friend who is about getting his first car.
He is confused between the 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT and 2009 Camry Sports SE.
Please help me compare the two rides under the following :
Fun to drive
Maintenance
Fuel Economy
Reliability
Best to use in Lagos.
Thanks.

The pontiac would be fun to drive if the camry has same 2az engine as it's lighter with better curb weight.

maintenance of the 2 is negligible as vibe is cheaper than 4cylinder camry which is cheaper than V6 camry.

fuel economy vibe is better

reliability is close as both are highly reliable

pontiac is better not a robbers magnet.

bigbamo:
I see an Element there, is owner willing to sell? I'm on the lookout for one

The way you are looking for an element eeehhh you will eventually put others in trouble as the prices would soar. Buy a CRV instead same car different shell

Dharni:
I want to get a mazda 3 2008 model but my worry is will it serve its purpose for uber business? Please if you have use a mazda 3 for uber kindly share your experience. Thanks

Parts are very scarce technician may not be an issue much. Better buy something more common in the stable of Honda, Nissan, kia, hyundai toyota maybe too expensive.

The bolded part is one of the reason I consider banana to be more profitable since you have more bunch to sell than plantain. But I know most times it's a different ball game in reality

like the local one I planted in Lagos, it brings out like 8 finger bunch. if you sell each finger 200 that's 1600 for a whole bunch.

I buy plantain here in Benin for 500 per bunch sometimes if very big and bulky I buy around 800 to 1k for personal use oooo.

banana in Lagos is around 300 to 400 and he dey move especially people chopping it with groundnut

After land preparation and ridging, you plant the cassava stems and after 2 weeks before the emergence of the leaves, you apply glyphosate at 2L per hectare that would takecare of seeds of weeds in the soil. After 8 weeks with emergence of leaves I used paraquat and 2-4D amide to squash the grasses and broadleaf weeds using shield spraymethod of spraying to protect the cassava leaves.

From study I followed back in school after 8.weeks the best weeding method for cassava is manual weeding with labour after that you can spray till the cassava canopy is big enough to control weeds.

Good day house!
I am about to go into snail farming with like 500 parent snails and chances are that when they start reproducing they will be very many and I'm concerned about feeds for the snail plus their offspring to maturity. I keep hearing feeds are cheap and all but I need actual advise on where to get feeds like waste watermelons, cucumber, cabbage and things I don't need to spend money on... Any useful recommendations will be great.

Snails feed on pawpaw leaves which gives them the required calcium though not as bountiful in cabbage leaves.

They also eat water leave and other decaying fruits.

Mine is almost 6 months though they haven't layer, I just kept them in plastic for learning purposes I believe I have 2 breeds don't really know one from one.

Just got thinking about this two Musa specie in terms of their economic profitability.

Plantain seems to be seasonal in profit but makes lot of sense during it's off season. Don't know much about banana but seems to be more of staple/fruit, which means that banana price is like make sense all year.

Will appreciate the opinions of plantain and banana farmers.

Normally both have advantage over each other but plantain is better than banana in Nigeria.

Banana could be turned into seasoning for ice cream, cakes, confectionery uses in sweets and biscuits. In the drinks sector as a flavour too.

Plantain can be sold raw or dried and milled into flour or made into plantain chips and packaged for better profit.

Depending on which one you wanna go for. BUNCH TO BUNCH banana command more than plantain because it has more fingers than an average plantain

Biko if u know who I am so??

Do u have any dirt on me?

Like how TF do some people reason?

It's like u learnt this word new, smoke screen?

You are entitled to your own opinion. good day

SensualMan1:
No be only C230 and ES

I thought u said u knew who I was? I don't need no camouflage. I ain't no fraudster I got nothing to conceal.

Your dimwitted LORD at ogba once called me Tunde

Wtf! Maybe u should add Ekiti lecturer. Or the Prince. Lol

I already know who you are, you ain't no lecturer or no tunde. like I said I can see through your smoke screen now quit mentioning me

GAZZUZZ:
The most effective way of fixing a car used in Nigeria that was bought salvaged is to employ all useful skills and knowledge acquired over the years to provide realistic RESULTS.

Imagine importing this same part for 250pounds excluding tax and shipping .

If you don't know, you don't know.

You are appreciated

Show me a picture of Renault and Citroen in your workshop and I will agree Oga na master

SensualMan1:
Don't you think one more apology will suffice?

I now know who you are, it's been a long time but stalking me won't help you.

how is your C230 and the ES?

I think say EFCC don lock up your ass and thrown away the keys

SensualMan1:
No I wasn't. I wore upanka rubber sandals when my mates were on kito sandals because that was what folks could afford for me. I know a lot about humble beginning son that I could tutor u on that.

Nurey the Paedophile.

Btw, the camera u used in snapping this thing u sold is damn too poor. 2mp back camera I guess?

now crawl back to the hole you came from, I have no attention to give you

emmyN:
Why so cheap?

Because people fear what they don't understand

SensualMan1:
Is this what you sold/sell my dear friend?

No wonder!

I regret condescending to ur level.

I thought u were in the league of my brother DelTel.

Smh!

Have you ever heard of humble beginnings? I guess not because you keep boasting of being born with a silver spoon and I know you, you can flaunt all you want online like dangote but I have seen pass your smoke screen

yeyeboi:
Which foreign tokunbo car is the best to buy between 2million and 2.5million

2012 Nissan Altima with the 2.5L i4 engine with 4 Nos Exhaust and bangalee premium Entertainment system with Nav screen.

Nissan, the future is now

kia Optima = Hyundai Sonata

Kia Cerato = Hyundai Elantra

Kia Rio = Hyundai Accent

kia Picanto = Hyundai i10

Rio and accent have better mpg than Cerato. As for parts I know the 05 to 11 rio and accent are very much available in the market used the accent while a friend used the Rio.

revilomichaels:
I'm about to buy my first car and I was searching for a EOD that is very clean but recently I stumbled upon a Toyota avensis 2004. Though I've not gone for inspection. Bc it's in Abuja, but I won't mind sending someone there... What's your advice? Considering I'll be doing maintenance for frequently than a tokunbo car.

Pls advice

Avensis because it is more reliable than Accord

not a robber magnet like other toyotas

no shaft issue like accord

04 accord gear is puff puff near Avensis gear.

engine wise Accord K24 is cheaper and bullet proof though the 2az in Avensis isn't prone to oil burn like camry own.

Avensis parts expensive than Accord especially body parts.

Avensis has melting plastic dashboard.

be weary of tokunbo avensis some are converted to LHD because Avensis is an european car and they use RHD in major countries there.

travelinfo:
Sir

Please is it true that Toyota Camry 2007- 2011 do shorten oil, have transmission problem easily, & bad shocks?

Your urgent reply will be appreciated sir

Thanks

LIES

Transmission issues was majorly 2007 model year only

oil shortening was 07 yo 09 model years with the 4cylinder 2.4 2azfe engine only (US vehicles) V6 and hybrid wasn't affected. The 10 to 11 uses 2arfe a 2.5L engine which didn't have the issue. The asian camry with 2.0 and 2.4L were very ok.

Toyota generally have weak shocks except Corolla sha but camry, sienna, highlander especially when used on bad roads with high mileage vehicles expect to change shocks.
