Where can someone get the original?

Contact gazzuzz

fineboynl:
even if he begulm engine, the mechanic to handles it is a problem. Mine was blamed on the mechanic.

I think the reverse should be the case.
Getting a good engine should be the main challenge.
An engine swap can even be done using DIY tips.
My opinion though.

ednut1:
cruise control, break hold, blind spot light, compatibility with latest phones , rear camera . We are really suffering in that country.

Cruise control - available
Blind spot light - plenty aftermarket solutions
Compatibility with latest phones - plenty aftermarket solutions
Rear camera - plenty aftermarket solutions

All you listed is what I can easily install in a 1999 toyota camry. So you've still not told us anything special about the 2020 corolla.

I partially agree with gazzuzz, IVM doesn't have to stick with the old dashboard.
New features can be added easily and individuals and corporate organizations will rush it.

The 2012 GLK or C300 will be cheaper to maintain and more fuel efficient than the GX 470 &GS350

Nigerians and fuel efficiency.
Did he ask for fuel efficiency?
The GS is definitely a more reliable car compared to the mercs

Azzrael:
i'll go check it out.
saw a blacked out 2013 gs350 on my way out yesterday,the car looks very well built.

That car is perfect except for reduced driver legroom for the AWD.

Azzrael:
2013?

Any model year.
You can't get the 2013 for 5m sha.
Maybe the 08

Azzrael:
thanks sir
Any Lexus sedan within the price range?

GS350

Last week I noticed that check engine light and another light on my 2009 Corolla dashboard, I went for scanning and they said it's tire pressure and bad fuel. They erased the lights. Then after 2days the lights returned again.

What should I do about this issue now pls?

Re-scan and post codes here

Ikenna351:
Yesterday, a customer complained of high fuel consumption on his Peugeot 307 with EW10A engine. However, my diagnosis showed the injection system, engine cooling system & transmission were in top good conditions, except the wrong engine oil he put in recently (10w-40). I advised him to switch to the recommended (B71 2296, 5w-40) which he did yesterday and hopefully will show significant difference.

EW10A was not designed for thicker oils than the recommended which Peugeot specifically stated. From my personal experience, it kills this engine. Usual symptom of wrong oil in that engine is gradual and later sudden drop of power (even without oil burn or bluish smoke), to a point that accelerator pedal has to be held on the floor before the wheels can even rotate and move the car. Abuse in Nigeria is what is killing them. Most times, out of ignorance. But sometimes, Nigerian users still choose the wrong oil, even when aware of consequences of their choices.

A 307 with EW10A is so good with fuel economy that the fuel consumption is almost same with TU5JP4 engine in same car, even though the EW10A is bigger and posses more power. Generally, 307s are known for good fuel economy, irrespective of engine models. The engine is designed to run very hot to achieve this, to a point that engine cooling system thermostat opens around 105°C unlike the others with lower opening temperatures.

If your EW10A is very sound and you want it to keep that way, keep to recommended engine oil. If it's weak and burning oil already, a thicker oil would help to reduce the oil shortage, but not necessarily to stop the eventual death that is already near. I have clients that are enjoying this engine in their various Peugeot models, for choosing not to abuse theirs.

Lion king goofed on this one o.
10w-40 and 5w-40 na the same viscosity at temperatures above 10.
It's not a thicker oil sir.

City driving but mixed most times as I’m on the highway till I reach central areas.

Best I ever got was when I did my last oil change, then I travelled next day. I got about 17MPG.

Kingreign here you go

01Tunex:
Good day!

I’m driving a 2007 Lexus RX 350.

I currently average 13-13.5 MPG on my tests.

I have 2 codes on my OBD test
P0420
P0430

Other than that, ride is ok.

I use the correct rated oil 5W-30 and change oil every 5k miles.
I’ve also cleaned my MAF and intake valves.

What else can I do to improve my MPG please?

I don’t expect the present codes should affect the MPG that badly☹️

Not enough info.
Is this city or highway?
If city, which city?

There is this fake exhaust leak tapping sound on my glk only when accelerating fast... i have removed the exhaust system to diagnose where the leak was coming from..

during this procedures we fhave found a cracked cone where the exhaust is joined together and sone other parts with leaks. We removed the exhaust manifolds; bank 1 and 2 to check the gaskets and there was no others leaks...

With all these, their is no improvement in the sound. Another guess is a cracked or leaking plugs which i havent done yet.

Please help � me

Are your catalytic converters intact?

buygala:


Is that work permit granted as a matter of course?

If na so e easy, why do so many Nigerian students come back home and starr trekking around Lagos jobhunting?


Face issue on ground

You're a lawyer sir.
I expect you to argue with facts.
The law is in place but it was newly introduced

buygala:
What shall it profit you that you sell the house to fund your Masters and then come back to Nigeria and be homeless?


Note that the doing Masters in the UK doesn't guarantee that you will be allowed to work there after studies.. They will mostly collect your money, give you an MSC, and put you back on the plane to Murtala Muhammed Airport


From your statement that you are teaching in a private school, I guess it is safe to assume that your course of study isn't very marketable like the Medical sciences or Engineering... Or that you are not brilliant enough or lucky enough for well-paying companies to employ you.. The fact that you are not even on any kind of scholarship for your Masters give credence to the fact say you no too sabi book or your course of study is...well...not much in demand..


My point is... Don't sell your mother's house and grave site on a directionless whim... Do your research and be sure you have at least an 80% chance of being allowed to work in the abroad before you commit yourself... Because you will understand real wahala when you come back to Nigeria with a piece of paper that many other people have and are still jobless, and still end up being homeless.. .

Oga C&B, there's a 2 year postgraduate work permit for international students that study in UK.
That's what peeps use to settle in

Good day great Nairalanders!

Sometimes last month I made a post seeking guidance on which career path to choose between telecoms and solar engineering, I very much appreciate the advice given by you guys.

After much consideration I have decided to further with solar installation for now. But there's a little challenge, I can't afford the over 150k required for the professional training and certification. So I have decided to gain the practical skills first and go for the certification later.

Instead of going to a training center for training which will only last a few weeks, I want to be attached to an installer on the field who I will learn from for a period of time.

If you are (or know anyone/company that is) into solar installations, please kindly DM me. I don't mind paying to learn, so long as it would be practical based.

Note that I already have some knowledge and skills on solar pv systems, I just want to build on it.

Life hasn't been easy, please help a poor brother beat unemployment and poverty.
Thanks you!

Where's your location?

lekkys:
my illustrations up there already shown that pls, it has no issues.

Oga simple question you cannot answer.
Is it foreign or nigerian used?

Diportivo come buy

ThrottleHolic:


Congratulations!

Your vehicle needs 5W30 engine oil and, IMO, it might be unnecessary to ask the previous owner what he used. Simply buy an available and good engine oil, that meets that rating and run your change.

Oil change interval is 6 months or 5k miles, whichever is first.

However, you could extend that to 20k miles or a year, whichever is first with fluids such as M1 extended performance (with an accompanying filter for that purpose or you change filters halfway through).

What is the situations of:

1. The coolant reservoir. What is there?
2. How does the tranny fluid look like?
3. The power steering fluid?
4. The spark plugs, coils, throttle body, engine air filter and MAF?

Most Nigerian used vehicles are deficient in this regard, hence this checklist.

Tune up the vehicle, run your fluid changes, and you're sure to enjoy many years of pleasurable, reliable luxury.

Pls don't give car advice if you don't know what you're saying.
The type of oil the previous user uses and how long matters.
Do you want the op to introduce synthetic oil to a possibly sludged engine?
Op, you can check points 1 to 4 highlighted in addition to when the timing kit was last changed.
But definitely ask history of oil change.

There is a an old lady who needs a wheelchair. She suffered a stroke two years ago and has been immobile for this period. Having come to terms that she may never be able to walk again she has accepted to use a wheelchair to move around.

Is there anyone here who would be kind enough to donate a wheelchair to this lady?

Now it does not matter whether it is used or new. I would like her to have something functional by this Easter.

I am also open to buying one and donating to her if it is available for sale at clearance price.

So I'm currently in 300 level with a plan to leave the country immediately after my NYSC.
Since I'm studying a 4 year course in a private uni,I have about 3 years more in this country.

I wish to get a car with a budget of 3.5 to 3.8 million naira.
Due to the 3 years duration coupled with police harassing young car owners.

Is a car really worth buying now or I should jejely wait till I move??

I need inputs please.

You can check out a 2011 toyota corolla or honda cr-v 2009.
They are not synonymous with young rich guys.
