Travel / Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by nwokechisom: 6:57am On Aug 20, 2023
Hello house,

Please I need clarification on something that's been bothering me.

Apartments I've seen on Spareroom & Amber mostly have shared kitchen & living room.

Can't someone get an apartment that s/he doesn't have to share the kitchen/living room space with other occupants?
At all, at all like our self contain/one bedroom flat type in Nigeria.

Thanks for your anticipated responses.

Guy get a Toyota Camry since you are tall or Toyota Matrix for ground clearance and fuel economy that is better than Honda if you don't want to be calling your office and telling them that your car leg don't remove for road.

The only vehicle on your list that ticks your boxes is a Honda Civic.

The 2az-fe engine in the said Camry & Highlander will more times than not fuvk you up with it's oil burn issues.

Last I checked Avalon & Sienna are 6 cylinder engines, so fuel efficiency isn't it with them.

Technology Market / Re: MAKE ORDER, WE SHIP 4 YOU, BUY FROM USA/CHINA ebay,amazon,$4/Ibs MAYORALL by nwokechisom: 12:28pm On Feb 19, 2021
Mayorall is the real deal.

Used his service to purchase & ship an equipment from Amazon, the process was seamless.

I strongly recommend him to anyone that wants to purchase from Amazon.

Thanks Chief.

I appreciate.

dicksonadams:


If not that the mechanic wanted to make some money off the engine ringing job, the first advise would have been to keep using the car the way it is, and just buy extra oil to top off as when needed provided the oil consumption is not excessive.

The best alternative would have been to change the engine.

There is a guy Called trygo here, search for him, he might be able to assist. Have seen his post in the past on engine build. Not many people can do it the right way.

P.S: "Easy Tiger" is a figure of speech, it doesn't mean a Tiger literally.

Edakun, if you have an alternative apart from changing the engine/transmission entirely I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Firstly, you didn’t mention anything about oil consumption in your previous post.
Secondly, you just further exposed your poor maintenance culture. Who told you that you only scan a car when the check engine light comes on?
Who even recommended the transmission fluid and engine oil that you’re using? Oh! Na because dem write Mobil on top am?

So if your engine was not bad, why then did you “ring” it? If your transmission fluid was okay, why did you change it?

With your attitude, I doubt if anyone will give you any advice here.

By the way, you’re nothing close to me when it comes to maintenance culture in vehicles.

Before you call someone a tiger next time, be sure to check if you’re not an agama lizard or a chimp.

Chief, you're really getting pissed over nothing. Is the anger worth it?

Please, apart from buying another engine & transmission what other alternative do I have?

I wrote my plight because I need advise. But you came guns blazing, like say we get akpor before now.

Kindly suggest something else I can do, them no dey throway pikin with bath water.

Easy Tiger, don't be too quick to jump into conclusion.

Before the "ringing" there was no check engine light on the dash, if there was a check engine light I'd have scanned before taking it to a mechanic.

How will I scan a car that has no check engine light in the first place.

I maintain the car probably more than you do yours baba.
The only thing that was done to the transmission is changing the transmission oil (to Mobil ATF 220).

The only oil I use on the engine is Mobil 5w30 Semi Synthetic, & I do that every 3 months sef.

If I do not maintain the vehicle I wouldn't have noticed the oil consumption.

Philadelphia:
Your 4 cylinders are misfiring; how can you possibly expect your car not to waste a lot of petrol? Don’t expect any petrol economy as those cylinders are misfiring.

From codes I see, you’ve messed up your engine and transmission.

Now I’d be blunt with you; people like you will use a Mercedes or Infiniti then will go about advising others not to buy those cars that they’re bad. Whereas you have a terrible maintenance culture. Just imagine when you’re scanning your car, after doing those major jobs, that’s when you even remembered there’s a scanner?

I won’t pet this issue. If a 2005 Camry (with great engine and gear) can torment you like this, then I don’t know of any car that you’d be able to use. You have also been in Nairaland since 2013 and you don’t know of auto section?

Here comes my honest advise: change the entire engine and get a new transmission because I don’t know how far that kazeem has gone with your car.

Speaking of engine and transmission, I think Gazzuzz and Kingreign can come in here.

Hello House,

This might be a little off-topic, kindly bear with me.

I have a 2005 Toyota Camry, I recently "ringed" the engine (last week) due to excessive oil consumption. After Kazeem worked on it, I noticed the fuel consumption is outrageous (I have used 12k+ fuel from Friday last week I collected the car from Kazeem until this moment I'm writing, no kidding).

Also, I noticed when on motion, the car doesn't "pick" when I rev it, the engine groans for a while before it eventually engages the gear. Kazeem said the engine is stronger than the gear & he has to change the gear fiber.

This morning I used an ODB scanner, here are the codes the scanner showed:

P0300 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire
P0301 - Cylinder 1 Misfire
P0302 - Cylinder 2 Misfire
P0303 - Cylinder 3 Misfire
P0304 - Cylinder 4 Misfire
P0010 - A Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit/Open Bank 1
P0113 - Intake Air Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit High
P0351 - Ignition Coil A Primary/Secondary Circuit
P0352 - Ignition Coil B Primary/Secondary Circuit
P0353 - Ignition Coil C Primary/Secondary Circuit
P0354 - Ignition Coil D Primary/Secondary Circuit
P0442 - Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (Small Leak)

Gurus in the house, abeg what should I do next?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response.

Pilot is an SUV

Edge is a CUV

You will enjoy the pilot well because of technical know how, the engine fitted into it is a popular engine in many honda and Acura. Easier to maintain, cheaper parts than the ford.

For the ford most will advice you pick the 3.5L V6 and boycott the i4. Never used the vehicle before not a vehicle running those engines but I have friends using the vehicle driven the edge before too it is a nice and strong vehicle reason it's popular on our roads

Hello house,

Please is 2008 Honda Pilot a better vehicle compared to the 2009 Ford Edge?

They fall in my budget range.

Thanks for your anticipated response.

Hello house,

Please which should I go for between a 2007 Honda Pilot & a 2007 Toyota Highlander?

The pilot seems to be a more capable SUV than the Highlander of that given year (2007).

Hello,

I'd love to know if you ship chemicals; like All Purpose Cleaners & Degreasers, specifically from Amazon.

If yes, what is the shipment rate?
