ademi87:
tracker was installed in the car, but it later went off....if found please call the above numbers...thanks

Oh my... I really do hope you find it. Cheers

Buying a Corolla without installing a tracking device is like going to Sambisa for evangelism.

@ Op, I pray you recover it.

Slazim:
I am not alone. It's the reliability and maintenance am yet to get fully.

As long as you don't go above the 2003 model, you'll be ok. The Xterra is a work horse. I used mine for 4 years and I only carried out the routine service required. The parts are fairly cheap to get. I'll also recommend getting the ones with 'auxilliary' gear.

HeavenlyBang:
And this, right here, is why no one buys Nissans anymore. They can be anal with their design.

One man's meat is .....

This your quarrel with Nissan needs to be settled ASAP.


Happy Sunday.

Pipedream, I really appreciate this thread. Nissan's/Infiniti are actually great cars if you have a good maintenance culture. Same with most marques. I have seen abused Toyotas disgrace their owners. Infact, my Honda City messed me up a few weeks back because a trusted individual couldn't carry periodic maintenance. Today, that car is in great shape.

To each their own, feel free to get whatever tickles your fancy.

mrtomola:
Why would your Wife said you should see a Doctor when taking you to Yaba Left is an option. Anywayz the car is not bad for your type sha... Then you need to look for that Faze - Kolomental song then jam it while you drive

Chai!!!

Interior and exterior seem sharp.

I just saw this classic and I'm in love. My wife says I should see a doctor. I would really love to own this.

What do you think. Asking price on jiji is 420k.

Hey Travelanders,

I booked an air ticket for my mother well over four months ago. Flight was cancelled and till date, Arik has REFUSED to refund my money despite my calls and emails.

Please share your experience and indicate willingness to be part of a suit against them. I have met a few people with terrible experience. They have even deactivated their social media accounts.

All avenues are being looked at. Right now, radiator will be changed as well.

idu1:
which year is it and the engine capacity?

2006

1.3 L

brojero:
Most likely the cylinder head warped from the original gasket failure. When you replace, check the head with a metal straight edge to be sure it doesn't have the same problem

You are very correct.

AutoElectNG:
Sorry brother

But towing on the highways can be expensive....

It really is but it's cheaper in the long run.

idu1:
If they wan later sell this car for Nairaland now they ll say ' buy and drive' no issue to fix

I wanted to put it up for sale before but not anymore. I've fallen for it. The engine is quite forgiving and the fuel economy is better than a Corolla by far.

I'm fixing and keeping it.

LESSON FOR DISCUSSION

If your vehicle breaks down on a trip and it's a serious issue, never ever give it to the road side guys. Tow it to a reliable garage.

Choba bridge, Port Harcourt

5:47am.

Since the weather was cold it helped increase our stops from one to two hours.

Mbiama 4am

Got to

Benin 11:30pm

Ughelli 2:00am

50 km from Ore Vehicle started overheating again. We managed it to Pre where a mechanic checked and said it was the top cylinder and it had to be ordered from Benin. I had an important meeting early Tuesday morning so I decided to manage the vehicle.

1. Don't drive above 50km.
2. Stop every one hour for the engine to cool down then top with water.

That was the strategy.

Work completed. Tested for an hour no sign of overheating. PH here we come...

No Honda City Gasket at Ijebu Ode and Sagamu. Had to get this in Lagos.

This is no Kazeem., They call him Alfa the gasket changer.

Gasket change

eRex:
Can Oride confirm he is okay...?
We never hear update ni

I'm ok bro just exhausted. Left Ijebu Ode at 3pm yesterday, got into PH at 5:47am this morning.

I have a meeting for some hours. I'll be back with pictures and gist.

I must also appreciate all who showed concern and advice especially Gazzuzz' who called all through my ordeal. God bless you all.

Journey on hold.
