call 0802 725 45 05. Ifeanyi for more info. Is it for dredging ? I think you had better leave your email/ phone no |
Pls I beg to differ about Dangote. Dangote runs about 2 big power plants in Obajana and Lagos now. In fact he can comfortably supply Nepa excess power now. So he already is generating about 150mw now at Obajana. He built a 90km gas line off the Escravos line. He is also doing another line and power plant in Ogun. Pls lets give this guy a chance. The Benue people resisted him for years about BCC, now go to BCC and see, capacity has doubled. Dangote is operating in about 15 African countries now. Pls lets support this guy |
I had funny experiences when I bought my 200D vboot in 2000. 1. Washed the engine area and started experiencing difficulty in stopping the engine after the engine is switched off. Tried a few mechanics without result. Did a search on the www , then was able to trace the loose vacuum hose but before then, was using the stop engine lever on the inlet manifold area. So as I plugged back the hose , my engine not stopping( dieseling) after putting the ignition stopped. 2. Could not get the write type of oil filter . The MB 200D engine is 601 model, but most dealers stocked the longer filter for the MB 602/603 engines which are long. For some months I was actually washing the filters in petrol and reusing them. 3. As I was doing the servicing my self, I would change the diesel filter (primary/secondary) 2monthly/monthly and then change the oil filter 3-5 months interval. I did not know how to bleed the injectors so once I finish changing the diesel filter,(to avoid gas cutting) I will press down the throttle until the air gap in the diesel line was closed , then I will leave the engine to idle. One day I had to change both oil/diesel filters at once. Because the oil has to circulate I could not fire the stationary car on full throttle, so the gas cutting thing started and the car refused to start. I took batteries from other cars and still no success. I called the first mechanics and he said I had to pay him 8k to loose the injection pump and then another 6 k to service it. I was really mad at him cause I had been exposed to diesel generators, so I knew that injector pump loosing was no big job. I called my petrol car mechanics and he towed the car out and brought it back and he was 5k richer and I was happy. He refused to answer all my questions about what he actually did. That is the attitude of many Nigeria low Schooled Techies So I went back to old regime of staggered servicing. Later I was tempted to try complete service again. By then I had done more research, so I was able to solve the problem by bleeding the nozzles while someone else tried starting the engine. 4. I was able to manage the fuel crisis of that era by stocking diesel at home . At a time I had about 10 20l kegs of diesel stored at home. This was possible because diesel can be safely store at home. 5. Tried the bio diesel fad, but could not get much of it in good quantity. 6. When the price of diesel went up to N150/l in 2006-2008 , some bad guys started mixing diesel with gas condensate. lots of diesel engined cars and generators were damaged. Infact my neighbour had a major fire incident in his "diesel tank" house. 7. Right now I am thinking of going for a 2003 diesel Toyota corolla ( — 1CD-FTV — 2.0 L (1995 cc) I4 diesel, 16-valve DOHC, turbocharged, D-4D, 114 hp (85 kW) engine) and 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser with the engine 4.2 L I6 1HD-T diesel turbo |
Actually most car makers have diesel engine option. Only Honda resisted until a few years ago. VW, Peugeot and Toyota are the leaders. The biggest problem with diesel engine usage in naija are as follows 1. to many quack mechanics 2. poor diesel engine use know how 3. water in diesel 4. bad engine oil I used my diesel engine vboot for 6 years without a trip to the mechanic. Did all servicing my self. Changed secondary diesel filters monthly( cost N100 only) The week I gave it out to my drivers, I started hearing battery problem. This was caused by not allowing the heater plug go off before starting. This drains the battery and starves the injectors of diesel and then starting problems start. |
Any body who has used a diesel vehicle in naija will appreciate a diesel vehicle. The best way to reduce our over dependence on petrol is to free the price so that people will try other options. Yeah, we have few good diesel mechanics, we actually have fewer good" modern "petrol engine mechanics. Forget the fact that they get our engines working but at what cost ? Vehicles designed to give 40mpg on the highway give 25mpg due to faulty repairs and poor quality petrol I have used a diesel Vboot 200D and petrol 200 carb V boot. A 300 km journey in the diesel vboot will take about 12litres, while the petrol engined vboot will take about 40 litres. Diesel engine vehicles even give better mpg when they have used for long distance trips.For example -PHC to Owerri takes like 6.5l, while coming back same day will take like 4 litres. Petrol cost is N2600 ( 65/l) while diesel then cost 100/l making it N1400. Even if diesel costs 200/l it is still better. mind you petrol price is controlled by the goverment. When the price is freed after the elections , Nigerians will look beyond petrol like the Americans are doing now. About 70% of all private cars in Europe are diesel engine. Diesel engine is much more efficient than petrol engine. I have used diesel Golf 2, Passat TDI, 1996 Pajero with 2800 TD, 1996 V6 petrol Pajero- petrol guzzler. Have used 1993 Nissan Patrol with TD42 and RD28T engines.They are smooth and fast. Try a Nissan Patrol with RB 42 petrol engine. With that I was going to the fuel station every 3 days even with the 95 litre capacity tank. The cheapest car to drive fuel wise is TDI engined VW passat, Golf, Jetta. Try it and you will never use a petrol engine engine again. My fear about the diesel engine is this switch to electronic injectors ie the Common rail direct fuel injection I am not happy that the last 3 generations of Toyota Camry do not use diesel engines. Sienna Pls you must open workshops in Nigeria |
Do you know Pastor Chris history ? He has been a a very Serious Christian since we knew him at Uniben. Have you read his books ? Have you listened to him ? Is what he is doing not scriptural ? Try and hear him, then you can talk. Very few pastors teach new birth like Pastor Christ |

whats gwan with the deutz gen ? |
Cost as from 700k for 8x8feet. Call 0704 210 4090 |
Cherokee are fine but quite expensive to run and maintain. Pls forget the Cherokee if you are not ready to spend If Jeep dey hungry you go for a used Rav4 or 4runner . Do not go for a used Mitsubishi Jeep . A camry will serve better in terms of reliability. That is why there are more camrys than any other car on the road today |
Pls send clear pictures of this german machine. But I think that 200k is high for a naija use basic gen. Deutz parts are so dear. Will pay 150k sharp |
the goon died 1 year ago |
Yeah, Kamaz are sold in Nigeria by GZ Motors. I was told it cost about N6m some years ago for a dumper. A few guys upnorth/middle belt imported them. They should be better than Chinese trucks . A few of them now com with Cummins engine |
What is the thickness you need ? Enkay Plastics( Abeokuta Road) produces thickness of up to 2 inches. Call 0704 2104090. What do you need it for ? |
Got the pix from June12. The engine looks so done. Has the engine ever being changed ? |
What is colour of the smoke ? Also check the air filter, whether it is in place. Do not touch the engine until you have done a compression test. |
this effort is commendable and so all this rubbish should stop. It is only assembly, but with a press shop. This guy also has a tyre factory being built when all the tyre plants in Nigeria have closed down pls check this http://innosonivm.com/En/About2.Asp. http://innoson-group.com/innoson-plastic.php |
is it dual sim ? ie cdma+gsm |
buy haier-thermocool. comes with warantee and quality is good |

Go to Mr Biggs /Tantalizer and enquire. Mr Biggs asks for about N50m to start a franchise. You might try Chicken Republic. I Think that they are better organised. |
