Car TalkRe: Overdrive: The Effective Ways To Use It While Driving by olenyi: 3:58pm On Mar 13, 2019

https://i1.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/overdrive-button-car.jpg?resize=600%2C351&ssl=1

Most people really get confused with the term overdrive. Some don’t know of it should be left on or off. There are still some people that will mistakenly press the button and then don’t know what to do afterwards.

First of all, let’s know the meaning of the overdrive in cars.

According to your mechanic, overdrive and OD for short is the highest gear in the transmission in an automatic car. It brings the RPM of the engine down at a given road speed to facilitate better speed and fuel efficiency. It also helps your car to provide the best performance in higher speed cruising.

For your normal driving, you should leave the OD switch on at all times. This will put your car in a mode that it will be able to automatically shift into top gear if necessary regardless of your selection. Leaving it on means that the ‘OD off’ light should not be on your dashboard.

Leaving the overdrive on will aid your car in utilizing its full range of transmission. It also helps your car with fuel efficiency and improved life span of your transmission.

You should have given us the pros and cons of leaving it on or off.

Surely there is a reason the manufacturer put the switch for turning it on and off.

Give us the reasons and situations that necessitates turning it on or off.

I haven't been added to the group. I requested a while ago.

07046389627



Meanwhile, I encourage everyone to take a look under their vehicles today.

My XC90 brought up a Check Engine which turned out to be Catalytic converter issue

I accidentally took a look under the vehicle and saw that the Catalytic converter had actually been cut open in 2 places and welded.

I failed to inspect underneath the vehicle properly it appears.

What I'm mystified about is how it passed scans and didn't throw a light about the Catalytic Converter for a whole month of hard driving.

The ECU wasn't cleared and threw up some other diagnosis at point of purchase, but not catalytic converter

When I clear it myself now, it usually shows up within a day... Really neat trick.
This is what is done to mimic the cat.

The engine has been purchased. Na God save me say I carry a rewire to join the mechanic. My supposed mechanic Don arrange me down already and as a matter of fact he can't even differentiate between corrolla engine and Camry engine. Camry engine is more expensive than corrolla engine.

How can a supposed mechanic not know the difference between the engines and he was brought along to give an informed opinion.

A real cause for concern.

There is absolutely no way you can do capture if it's a fake drivers license.

As for your details not in the system I can't really say, I think details only appear when it's a month to driver license renewal. When your license hasn't expired you won't be able to view anything in your details.
But one can verify the authenticity of his licence online? No?

Mine says their is no previous data for the parameters entered.

For a fresh applicant I always advice you to fall prey to their gimmicks because

1. They will frustrate you in Lagos and delay the process

2. They will ask you to do it by the books since you don't want them to have their cut, at the end you will be begging them, cause they will ask you to tender drive school certificate from accredited schools then the school should send your application, medical test etc etc.

As a new entrant just pay 20k for 3years and around 25k upwards for 5years then you can do it by the books for renewal.

contact pattybf on NL here to give you a quote and assist you.
Good morning oga nurey.

Just discovered that my data is not available on the FRSC drivers license verification website.

I did it through an FRSC official. Was called by the office to come for my capture. Went there. My data was in the system. Did my capture. Was issued a temporary license. Later went to the board of internal revenue and got the permanent.

Just like week. I just decided to check and found out my data is not in the system.

The official said I shouldn't worry that my licence is original.

What do you suggest.

My regards.

mdokaba1:
Hello friends,

I am asking because compared to the prices of cars quoted here on NL, I discovered that same cars on jiji.com seem cheaper and on good conditions.

I asked a work-place colleague, and he said cars displayed on jiji are displayed by fraudstars who are on-the-wait to defraud

unsuspecting potential buyers.

Autu gurus in the house, pls help clarify my fears; How Genuine Are Cars Displayed On Jiji.com.

Please, i plan on getting a car from jiji soon since they seem cheaper but for my fears.
For the most part, they are genuine. But like all transactions, you have to do your due diligence and inspection with a good mechanic before purchase

The advantage of jiji and why it looks like it is cheaper is because the car adverts are placed by the car owners directly thereby cutting off the commission the agent/car dealer would have added on top.

If you are apprehensive, a good way to start is to use the app. Then select cars that are within your neighborhood. Meet up with the buyer in an open place to confirm the authenticity of the advert.

My regards.

Car TalkMy Little DIY Diagnosis. by olenyi(op): 8:14pm On Nov 26, 2018
My greetings House.

Came home yesterday night. Switched off the ignition and stepped out of the car only to see my brake light still on at the back.

Got back into the car, started it again and switched it off. Pumped the brake pedal couple of times and checked again. The lights were still on.

This got me confused. But fortunately I had read the thread by Oga Gazzuzz on his throttle body diagnosis.


https://www.nairaland.com/4813902/nissan-sunny-2007-2010-p2122-p2127#72473234

I immediately went down on my knees and with my phone torch, I started looking under the steering wheel at the brake pedal.

Lo and behold, just like Oga Gazzuzz, I discovered that the plastic/rubber stopper that was supposed to press on the light switch to switch it off was gone.

I went rummaging in my junks and pulled out my old strong Satellite decoder that was no longer in use. I pulled out a capacitor from the board, brought out my 4 minutes gum that is permanently in my glove compartment (had saved me a lot of times), mixed it and used it to fixed the capacitor to the position where the plastic stopper was supposed to be.

Viola, problem solved.

All thanks to Gazzuzz and all the other men and woman, nurey, diportivo, thebigkendo, etc etc who keep on sharing their wealth of knowledge and experience on this forum.

I doff my hat for you guys.

My warm regards.
