Please help me
I can't seem to concentrate
I masturbate everyday
And if I get small money, I go to brothel, have sex with more than 3 girls and still go home and masturbate
I guess alcohol is my major problem because I tend to make these brothel decisions when I'm drunk
Working in the brewery doesn't help me, I have access to alcohol a lot
So I have made a decision going forward to avoid alcohol
If I do that, my brothel addiction will reduce a lot
But for masturbation, it's really hard to go 3 days without masturbating
I don't know how I can tackle that

I have nothing to offer you except Jesus, the risen Christ.
He saves from sin, breaks addictions, destroys yokes, and gives you the power to become a child of God; having victory over sin plus everlasting life.

Good evening Car Gurus

Please I need your honest opinions on Mercedes Benz GL 500 4matic in terms of the maintenance, parts availability, durability and fuel consumption.
One of my friend wants to buy the SUV.
The dealer demands for 13m. Pls is it a good buy for that amount.

Thank you as I await your feedbacks

I don't know this Mercedes well, but. 2015 Benz and 13M don't go together. Car is likely abused.
Also, if fueling is a concern, I would stay away from Benz not because of fuel consumption per say, but maintenance costs to keep it in top shape are steep.

bravolad:
Do you sell this in Abuja? Kindly reach out via inbox route or leave your contact & I will call you.

I don't sell the oil. I had contacted them many months ago after witnessing the effect of the oil, and asked if they could consider importing it, which they did. I also have no affiliation with mypartsng.com

Sheuns:
I looked this oil up and the results are quite impressive. I’ll be switching to the 0W20 weight.

I hope it’s the genuine version this website sells.

100% genuine. I got from there and know the genuine stuff

Leun:
I've seen this background on YouTube when I saw this picture I said in my head, I've been sharing your video as regarding this VR&P oil.

I just bought the Pennzoil some weeks back from them too.

Your videos are precise and to the point. Kudos.

Thanks mate. Appreciate the shares you've been doing.

Some good news. This oil is now available in Nigeria via MyPartsng website.

I've used and done several videos on it. It reduced my oil consumption and totally eliminated engine blow-by caused by sticking piston oil control rings.

I'm avoiding posting links because when I did so initially, Nairaland held the thread.

GorillaApp:
Thanks for your response. I'm really torn on what to get. The accord is more spacious and better ground clearance. The 06 civic is smaller and too low.

Pls how long does the ball joint last before you change it and can you source for it in Nigeria (OEM) thanks

I can't really say how long a ball joint would last because I guess it depends on a number of factors e.g. Are there other failed suspension components putting unnecessary stress on the ball joints, the kinds of bad road driven etc. Try to replace worn suspension components on time.

When mine developed the warning signs maybe around 170k miles. After I changed it with OEM, I drove it till 265k miles when I sold the car without any problems. During my routine inspections there was no wear either.

I doubt you can get OEM locally. I had to buy mine from hondapartsnow.com or was it Amazon? It was pricey about $70 each and this was around 2015. I'll do it again if required because nothing beats peace of mind with cars.

The results are in!
Very clearly, Dangote's fuel is the best in the country.

PICTURE 1: Top of one of the pistons from my 2017 Accord. I was getting fuel from NNPC and other rubbish outlets when I took this borescope shot. The piston is coated with brownish impurities from the fuel. I think it's from heavy sulphur content of the fuel.

PICTURE 2: After my first tank of Dangote fuel bought from MRS filling station. You can see the brownish stuff is being cleared from the piston crown.

I think NNPC outlets have some of the worst fuel.

id4sho:
Personally, I prefer dangote petrol than that rubbish red sold way back. That red fuel gives my engine a rattling sound at the top reduce engine power.

My observation though

Totally agree with you.

I now only buy from stations I know that carry Dangote fuel. Still observing. I was buying from MRS one day and asked the attendant to dispense a sample into a clear bottle, stuff was colourless!

Ayo8:
Those using performance cars are spending even more buying octane boosters and injector cleaners at each refill…
Some Cars will send their owners back to village in this Tinubu regime.

I had to start using a fuel system cleaner that comes in a liter and you add in aliquots to every fill up. This is the only thing keeping my car from having knocks after every couple thousand miles.

Current look of the piston top after more time on Naija fuel diet. The amount of brownish impurities is just horrible. This is not even up to 2 months after getting the car

2nd examination after a couple weeks on our petrol... You can already see some impurities developing as highlighted.

To buttress the point on the low quality of fuel, here are pictures from the combustion chamber of a car I examined. Car was bought Tokunbo.

This is the 1st footage upon getting the car. You can see there are no brownish impurities

I'm not talking of improving supply and having cheaper pricing. This is about having cleaner fuel.

Just from my time looking into combustion chambers over the years, it's clear quality of fuel here is not great. Lots of impurities.

More posts to come.

So I’m a final year student of Business Administration looking to migrate after graduation(through study route). I have been told that that degree makes me a glorified clerk abroad.

I laid my hands on tech(web development). The saturation and absence of entry level roles threw me off. Also, I don’t enjoy it, I went into it because I heard it’s lucrative.
I regret not studying a STEM course, but there’s no need crying over spilt milk.

So far, I’m considering a career in Audit, management consulting, and investment banking.
I need ideas on what step to take next and which countries I should look towards please.

Whatever decision you end up with, be sure to pursue a career in something you love doing. It pays off in the end.

HeavenlyBang:
Valvoline MaxLife ATF available?

I thought you were asking for Valvoline Restore & Protect.

Just getting to this heart-wrenching news. What a loss to Nigeria.
I met Gazzuzz once. Had the pleasure of visiting his workshop. What a day it was. In the end, I recall he paid for my Uber ride back, despite my pleas to him not to. I am pained.

For us left down here, please make peace with Jesus. Salvation is free.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: John 1:12

Guys! I have a 2018 Acura MDX Advance with 360 camera and recently the front camera was replaced due to a collision. Now all the cameras including the reverse camera are not working because they have to be calibrated using Scantool. Unfortunately one also needs an active Honda/Acura service subscription. Does anyone know a workshop in Lagos that has all these tools?
I can be reached on 08033257442

Hey, I did see your PM, but Nairaland reply on private messages is buggy and I always get a failed delivery notice. Cc' @seun
Hopefully you've seen my reply to Mexxy. Thought to reach out so it doesn't look like I was ignoring you. Cheers and all the best. If you get it sorted, let us know where.

radautoworks:
yeah, but we're waiting on a new motherboard

I see. Let us know when it's fixed.

mexxy1:
If your search is on Nairaland:

For Lagos, try @Radautoworks and @Gazzuzz

Abuja @Kingreign

Also, @Piyke (usually has tools and good DIY abilities, and has good knowledge of Honda's)

These persons can point you where to find if they're unable to do it or lack the tools.

Thanks @mexxy1. ADAS calibrations require some advanced stuff that can only fit in a garage. My DIY level is yet to reach dia .
While a scan tool may support ADAS caliberation, you still need those crucifix-style alignment machines to complete the calibration. I think Radautoworks has ADAS... Aye?

kelvinmnet:
Old post though but where can I get this filter?
Most mechanics always say the filter is inside the transmission.

Depends on the car. Though most and I think this one too has an internal filter in addition to the external one. I got OEM from Amazon or hondapartsnow.com I believe. New Chinese ones are sold in the local car parts markets

Macmilla:
So did the replacement fix any problems for you?

It was preventive

Macmilla:
Old post, but I have a question.
Are you saying there's no internal filter on this car?
I'm having an issue with mine and the technician says they will drop the gearbox, tear it apart, so they can change the filter. I'm not understanding.

I'm not sure. I never took my transmission pan off.

mayor2013:
I don’t need anything else in your store. I only need those valvoline engine oil. I can see Oyel everywhere

See where your eye reach😀 You know your oils sha. Valvoline 0w-20 full synthetic high mileage and the regular one!

Forgot to state the machine is the Ingco 1800w pressure washer seen in the image below with the hose.

This very common car soap makes good foam

I upgraded my pressure washer some months back to integrate an aftermarket foam canon. It's been amazing.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6jt0EyR8O8

The good thing is that I've found a locally manufactured car shampoo that makes really good foam.

Do you snow foam your car?

Moving things inside...

Yet to install shelves. Already got a pegboard but just haven't gotten to installing it!

EgunMogaji2:
I swear by INGCO.

I just added an INGCO table saw amongst other stuff from them.

I have their pressure washer. Nice stuff.

jceesquare:
How much did you get this and what's the brand?
I see a lot of fake jacks in the market.

It's the Selpro brand. Made in Taiwan. 140k.

Yea. I saw a low of Chinese brands which I couldn't vouch for. Also saw the Ingco brand which has a reputation among Chinese tools. I didn't go with Ingco because it didn't have a long handle. Also, I don't like yellow as a colour on jacks
