Car Talk / Does The New Lexus LS 500 Have What It Takes To Finally Take On The German? by opavictor(m): 8:31pm On Dec 14, 2017
Does the new Lexus LS 500 have what it takes to finally take on the German?

When the original Lexus LS debuted in the late 1980’s, it was a revelation. Never before had the world seen a luxury car so supremely comfortable, fastidiously built and incredibly reliable before. While the Germans dominated the luxury segment, globally, they weren’t known for their reliability to affordability. The Lexus LS changed that and the luxury game forever. It forced the Germans to step up their game. However, since then, the Lexus LS has lost a bit of its sheen. It’s become a dull and squishy sedan for aging golfers and folks who put their teeth in jars at night.

Car Talk / Someone Wants To Exchange His Car For Bitcoin by opavictor(m): 11:11pm On Dec 13, 2017
-The seemingly inexorable rise of bitcoin, the untraceable digital currency exploding in value, has created endless excited comparisons between its past prices and up-to-the-minute valuation. Early adopters, including those who were given once valueless bitcoin for free or in exchange for a few bucks or useless things like loofahs, are revered like lottery winners. Hooray for them! Less hooray for those regretful schmucks who unknowingly evaded wealth giving up their bitcoin for a few bucks or a loofah.

Car Talk / 5 Car Repairs Hacks You Should Never Try To Do Yourself by opavictor(m): 4:45am On Oct 30, 2017
There is nothing more annoying when trying to fix a problematic vehicle, only to find out that the repair is beyond your ability, and needs a skill of a mechanic. Although there is quick and easy fix, almost anyone can carry out in their car park, but the ability to know when is time to invite a profession is the best advice we can give.
It is best t to know when it is time to pay a professional to repair a vehicle, below are five repairs you should not carry out yourself.

1 .TRANSMISSION FIXES
The transmission is like the Rubik cube of the vehicle; it contains all forms of twisted gears, rod, and bearing. The transmission is an essential part of a vehicle; a transmission ensures the to and fro movement of an automobile. Swapping a transmission system is the right step to take, instead of trying to repair it. Its part weighs a lot. Therefore you will need the assistance of a third party. Trying to fix a transmission system may lead to disastrous results. Furthermore, even changing the fluid of your car is complicated. Therefore it should be carried out by a professional.


2. WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT
Drivers tend to carry out this procedure themselves. When you calculate the time spent in getting adhesive, clips, window trims pieces and most especially your safety. Pay a professional and get a brand-new windshield and avoid lumps of glasses in your vehicle.



3. BODYWORK AND PAINT
Trying to fix damaged panel or applying paint can be cost consuming and also time-consuming. Trying to fix this on your own, will probably lead to a terrible job and other issues. Painting is quite expensive, but it needs to be done by an expert in the field.


4. DVD player OR RADIO UPGRADE
In this case, most persons think they can install their radio successfully without any errors. The challenge is that a radio involves adequate electrical knowledge. Have in mind that any error can lead to damage in your car such as short-circuiting the electrical system. Just take your car to an auto-electrician to fix the radio and DVD player.

In recent, the trend of car buying has shifted to Sports Utility Vehicle(SUV)

Car Talk / Mercedes-benz Recalls 492,290 Cars For Accidental Deployment Of Airbag by opavictor(m): 4:21am On Oct 25, 2017
Do you know Mercedes-Benz recalled 492,290 of its cars? Due to airbags that may accidentally deploy itself.
Although this problem is not related to the Takata airbag-inflator recalls, caused by accidental deployment of ungrounded drivers-side airbag without notice.
Furthermore, some recent and late-model vehicles are affected, such as the 2012-2018 C-class sedan, coupe; the 2012-2017 E-class sedan, coupe, and wagon; the 2015-2018 GLA-class; the 2016-2018 GLC-class; the 2013-2015 GLK-class; the 2014-2018 CLA-class and the 2014-2017 B-class Electric Drive.
Vehicles not cited include the 2013 E63 AMG and the 2016 C450 AMG Sport. 6430 new cars and 20,964 used cars were in dealers inventory as of October 16.
The company says airbags may deploy if the steering-column clockspring breaks, which may expose the component to a charge. The clockspring allows the steering wheel to rotate without disconnecting the electrical wires inside. Therefore if the clockspring gets damaged due to wear and tear, the airbag light comes up. Only if that happens will there be a risk of the airbag deploying.

Car Talk / How To Drive Safe At Night by opavictor(m): 8:30pm On Sep 30, 2017
Driving at night can be difficult especially in a country like Nigeria where you don’t have street lights on every road. Below are some tips that can improve your driving at night.
1. Always dim your dashboard light when driving at night, also switch off the reading lights. Always have in mind that dashboard light and reading lights can distort your forward vision, furthermore more keeping your dashboard light dim increases your vision.
2. Try as much as possible to keep your eyes moving while driving. Do not focus on a point, because this causes your eyes to become tired because you are trying to concentrate more.
3. Keep enough distance between you and the vehicle in front. Note that night driving is challenging to other motorists . In a case when the driver did not take notice of a bad spot until he is very close, he/she slams on the brakes, eventually if you give enough following distance you will have enough distance to stop without hitting d vehicle in front.
Finally make sure you take a nap if you feel tired before hitting on the road

Car Talk / How Long You Drive On An Empty Petrol Tank by opavictor(m): 8:18pm On Sep 30, 2017
Having in mind how many kilometers you can drive a car with an empty tank prevents you from getting shipwrecked. Nissan Altima travels the longest when the low fuel light indication comes on.

From time to time most drivers let their fuel tank get low enough to indicate the low fuel warning light. We all know that it is good practice to always keep your fuel tank ¼ full, yet let go low. Being aware on how far you can drive on an empty tank will stop you from getting stranded. You have to know how many kilometers your car can cover after the low fuel indication light comes on and knowing the pros and cons when you allow your gas tank

one major concern when driving on an empty fuel tank is running out of fuel on a major road and getting stranded which is very dangerous, you may get stuck at a place where various vehicles move at a speed of 100 km/h. You could also get stuck in middle of farm. Driving empty can also cause damage to your vehicle. Running out of gas can damage your catalytic converter which may lead to repair or replacement. It can also cause havock to your fuel pump, which is caused by debris
Modern cars have an approximation of how many kilometers can be driven on an empty tank before the car runs out of fuel which shows on the instrument cluster of the vehicle.
Furthermore how long you can drive on an empty tank depends on the car, road condition and the driver.

Car Talk / Difference Between Cuv, Suv, Mpv by opavictor(m): 6:46pm On Aug 01, 2017
A crossover or
crossover utility vehicle (CUV ) is a vehicle built on a car platform and combining, in highly variable degrees, features of a sport utility vehicle (SUV) with features from a passenger vehicle, especially those of a station wagon or hatchback.
Using the unibody construction typical of passenger vehicles instead of the body-on-frame platform used in light trucks and the original SUVs, the crossover combines SUV design features such as tall interior packaging, high H-point seating, high center of gravity, high ground-clearance or all-wheel-drive capability – with design features from an automobile such as a passenger vehicle’s platform, independent rear suspension, car-like handling, lighter weight and better fuel economy than trucks or truck-based vehicles.
A crossover may borrow features from a station wagon or hatchback, such as the two-box design of a shared passenger/cargo volume with rear access via a third or fifth door, a liftgate – and flexibility to allow configurations that favor either passenger or cargo volume, e.g., fold-down rear seats.
Crossovers are offered with front wheel drive, rear wheel drive or all-wheel drive configurations. Crossovers are typically designed for only light off-road capability, if any at all. Read more @http://afrikautos.com/2017/05/14/difference-between-cuv-mvp-suv/

Car Talk / Lexus System Will Push Slow Cars Out Of The Way by opavictor(m): 8:26pm On Mar 31, 2017
Lexus' 'Lane Valet' System Will Push Slow Cars Out Of Your Way, Debuts On April
Ever wished you could just will the driver ahead of you to get out of the way?
Lexus has an elegant and high-tech solution for that.
It's called the 'Lane Valet' and it will be developed as an optional feature for all Lexus models, including the LC and all-new LS luxury saloon .
The system will go about improving traffic flow by "assisting the movement of slower moving vehicles" from the left lane into the right lane, using unprecedented radar and lane monitoring technology, as well as 802.11p V2V wireless data protocol. In other words, this semi-autonomous system will do the driver of a slower vehicle the "courtesy" of safety moving their vehicle for them to make room for faster-moving cars.
In order to activate the system, you just hit the Lane Valet button on your dash and your Lexus' radar and camera systems will scan the road, while the V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle) technology sets the car in front straight about who should move into a more appropriate lane and who's the boss is.
Once it connects to the other car, Lane Valet will initiate a careful yet prompt lane change, before disengaging and allowing for a better flow of traffic.
"Lane Valet was conceived by top Lexus engineers who understand the importance of safe and steady driving conditions," explained Lexus product & consumer marketing exec, Brian Bolain. "An appropriate vehicle speed without excessive braking offers optimal fuel efficiency, better traffic flow and decreased driver frustration. We’re just trying to give everyone the best possible driving experience."
Lexus says Lane Valet will be rolled out come April 1st (hint, hint) and that a broadcast spot will air this weekend during the NCAA Men's Final Four Game 2 (Oregon vs. North Carolina), but also on Comedy Central and during Saturday Night Live.
