A friend brought so many of it from abroad but i told him is not useful in our naija here. i just want to reconfirm if am in line with wot i said so that i wouldnt discourage him

If it is octane booster, useful for high-end luxury cars with certain engine. but for all those regular Corolla and Camry you see they don't need it.

so the question is, is "STP gas treatment an octane booster or snake oil"

sheu01:
Pls, Is it advisable to be using gas treatment on gasoline engine vehicle.

Good day all. My Honda civic 2008 is giving me serious issue. The battery sign on dashboard is showing when d car is running, the rewire here check n said that my alternator is bad. He bought another alternator for me but the battery sign is still showing and he said I should drive the car for sometime that the alternator will charge d battery. I drove it to work day on Friday a distance of 16km n d battery sign is still showing .it will always appear n disappear. I have to scan the car and it should P2185 code. Yesterday, the sign stop disappearing, it just stay stable, later in d evening that car stopped on motion, I have to use a friend battery to drive it home. The rewire is now saying that the brain box is faulty that why it kills alternator. I disagreed with him because I scanned the car n nothing of such appeared. Pls car gurus here, how do I fix the problem? Here is a pix of the scan result.

Any preferred year of production with below "3.7m" in mind Sir?

go to jiji or olx input Hyundai Tucson or ix35 then pick model years that work within your price range.

for the Tucson 2010 upwards

for ix35 I think production started 2012

I don't know whether the Hyundai creta falls within your budget

Numberz:
Good afternoon all. Please a family friend (woman 45+) is interested in any good Hyundai SUV (below 3.7m) with her primary considerations being;

Kindly recommend a good one with year of production.
Thanks.

Guys what do you have to say about 2008 Chevrolet Equinox, considering our roads in Nigeria, Fuel economy, parts availability and peculiar problems?

if you like it, buy it though parts maybe hard to come by and a bit on the expensive side. but you are sure of the real deal

Hi guys please, I'm trying to add an external GPU to my laptop. I've searched throughout Amazon and Aliexpress but I dont just seem to find a cheap offer.

If anyone here has a GPU that can be put for sale I'd be very willing to buy it, I dont need something heavy like 1050's or 1060's or it will bottleneck my CPU, just something minimal to be able to run games in peace.

My budget is 10,000 naira, if you have any used one you can sell, please kindly contact me on Whatsapp through this link https:///2348102841419

My location is Lagos State

Thanks

external laptop GPU doesn't work that way, you either have a PCMCIA slot or some other slot but definitely not USB or HDMI slot.

Sell your laptop and buy a low budget PC with dedicated graphics card.

Owners of this Fx were willing to sell to me between 550k to 750k, comparing this price with Camry big daddy, the Fx is way cheaper.

The major reason may not be due to hidden issues but several factors

1. fx is a luxurious vehicle high maintenance costs

2. fuel economy is smiles per gallon ( now depends on what smiles you want to wear at that particular time )

3. part of that vehicle is costly, the headlamp alone is 120k for both pair used and vandals dey move am when given the advantage.

It was made by Nissan motor company. Anything Nissan touch in Nigeria has poor resale value .

Also what do you mean by cheap? cause any car can be cheap in Nigeria, the hidden issue is what determine selling price

I am contemplating buying a Volkswagen beetle (2000 to 2005).is it easy to maintain. I am unconventional hence my loving cars that ain't common

Electrical fault are bound, windows, doors mostly.

it uses Same engine as golf 4, the 2.0L engine mostly. made from aluminum don't let it over heat.

it's basically shares chassis with golf 4, don't let mechanic dargbor the electrical connection and change gear fluid as often as you can. you are good to go

if am buying, I did like a cabriolet

kelvine:
Come and buy my FX45 for same price 080.35615622

how much?

Nissan frontier is more stronger especially the V6 engines. Though the 4cylinder KA engines too aren't bad.

Hilux for light load and city driving.

Frontier for moulding into ponpon. The frontier can be upgraded to a 2 to 3ton cassava carrying vehicle

Snoopyjaga:
Boss we're talking about almost 5 m

Your first mistake is taking a jack of all trades Mechanic to inspect a BMW.

mistake number 2 is not running when you were told not to rev a car in park, it's a basic rules when buying anything used and seller starts giving rules, it's a gimmick

mistake 3 not testing the car on long distance for your satisfaction even if it's to fuel the car for testing 12k could easily fill the tank. you loose 12k instead of 5m.

mistake number 4 no warranty

the ball is in your court, goodluck

Snoopyjaga:
Hello guys , I just recently bought a Nigerian used x6 35i about 2 days ago ,that's on Friday , the car is neat and all and it's a wow , it speeds up very fast .. but while my mechanic was test running the car , the sellers told him not to press the car accelerator on park , please does this appeals to all BMW , because the dealers were shouting "they don't accelerate BMW cars on park" ,that they only do that when it's running , we didn't raise the car , my local mechanic just looked at the engine saw that it was extremely clean , and then test drove it 3 times for a very short distance .. then he told me.the car is fine .. so I paid for it..

fast forward to when I was going home not more than an hour or 2 , on Maryland/ojota link bridge , the car stopped moving and moved into neutral , we tried putting it back to gear , but the car wouldn't move to gear , it wrote on the screen that "breaking/chassis stabilization malfunction , a danfo car brushed me in the back because of how the car stopped .. we had to call people to help us push it.to nearby place where we can park it . We parked it .. my mechanic checked the car for all possible fault but couldn't say which is wrong with it.., we waited for almost an hour before we started the car again and the car picked., But it continued showing that warning on the screen, during the hour of waiting I called the dealers that the car has stopped in traffic and it's not moving , they said they would send the bmw mechanic that usually repairs the car to come and check it .

My mechanic managed to drive it home , but while driving it after it stopped , he noticed some sound in the engine that was sounding like something was clicking , he told me the sound isn't a good sound , he said it sounds like when a engine is forcing itself to work.. I overlooked that ..

The next day the dealers mechanic arrived to check the car , one of my very good friend also came to help celebrate the new car , the bmw mechanic did several scanning , I asked him if this has ever happened to the car before , he said never , he was did all he could , then decided that it will be one of three things that's wrong with the .. he mentioned 3 , but I couldn't grab what he was saying , he said he'll order it at ladipo , and he'll come to fix it on Tuesday .. when he was about to peace , my friend jumped into the car and pressed the accelerator while it was on park twice.. he immediately called me and the bmw mechanic , that he's also hearing sounds in the engine , that the last time he heard the sound was when his corrolla engine was about to knock , that the sound he's hearing isn't a good one , the engine isn't good .. the bmw mechanic scolded me that I shouldn't let anybody accelerate the car while it's on park . He then started saying one Venus or venom makes that sound in the engine also if you accelerate it on park , because he also accelerated it also on park . He didn't denie the sound ..
Now the dealer is telling me the owner said he won't collect the car from me anymore , that I tested it with my mechanic before I took it away, that I can involve the police .

My question is , BMW owners , did you guys accelerate yours cars on park or not ?.

And please what do you think is the next step I can take ?.

You have entered one chance there is no car you can't rev on park once the engine is running. It's even a basic testing procedure of engines of cars.

Count your loss, you have been scammed

Nobodycan:
ohh,But my friend used it to travel to another state entirely...or is there a good map that I can use

you can use Google maps in Nigeria I have used it several times.

also sygic is good both work offline as long as your phone has navigation embedded

Nobodycan:
yea

Yes but dangerous in Nigeria, one seconds you are looking at the map because of the wrong female voice pronunciation of your location, the next second you have entered a crater destroying your sump, tie rod, linkages, sway bars, shocks and your shaft including the rotor has bent. You were indeed lucky dangote trailer no clear you

my sienna 2000 starts on neutral

my 06 accord DC starts on neutral

my 05 corolla starts on neutral

my 06 corolla starts on neutral

my 03 civic starts on neutral
