Car TalkTyre Pressures: Save Yourself! by Piyke(op): 7:33pm On Aug 03, 2020
A friend complained of issues with the TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) on his Mercedes and I wanted to help.

What I found was shocking....

The only things in the boot now are: portable inflator, small ratchet set and a toolbox which has a few wrenches (10,12,14,17mm and some other basic things.

I've been doing some suspension related work over the past couple of months and instead of taking main tools back into the house, I just dumped them in the trunk.

Also, I have also not cleaned my trunk in a while. Since I don't have a cargo liner, the floor mat had become dirty.

Great job, really loved the review, I've subscribed asap. The TPMS capabilities will interest me a lot, currently have an annoying TPMS problem in a Charger, Tacoma and a Corolla. Stock rims, proper air pressure. Tried a couple scanners and they can't pinpoint the exact wheel(s) that has the faulty sensor(s), and local man will rather drive with the lights on, than replace all sensors on a whim!
TPMS review done. Are you in Abuja?

Nice investment.

I have the poor man's version though.

Autel MaxiAP AP200 (₦20,000) + MaxiTPMS TS401 (₦60,000)
Good one. I understand the AP200 does have the same capacity except that you purchase diagnostic packs by vehicle model.
FamilyRe: I Was Chosen As King: Should I Damn The Consequence Or Forget About It Entirely? by Piyke: 9:12pm On Jun 30, 2020
JONNYSPUTE:
....Good morning folks. Sure we are all good and managing the effects of pandemic well?. To God be the glory.

This is going to be long because I will want us to read and understand it very well before commenting. Reason is because any decision taken is going to affect both myself,my immediate family members, extended and the entire community.

I have been thinking about the way forward since December last year.

It happened that we lost our king (Eze) 5years ago and the community has been in turmoil due to the inability of the elders to select a new king.

Reason is that it is rotational between my village and the other village.

My village is now supposed to bring out the next king and my compound has been told to bring out somebody to be crowned as a king.

I never envisaged or dreamt of becoming a king in my life because.
(1) My father is still alive.
(2)I'm not the most senior in the entire family.

But then,the elders met me last December and told me that the diety in the community has selected me to become the next king and that I have to pick another wife from the community before I will be crowned.

I told them point and blank that the oracle is mistaken due to the reasons I mentioned above but they are not taking it.

Now everyone in my village is against me for refusing the offer and saying I'm doing it be cause I don't want to hurt my wife which is true.

Now my question is,What do I do?
Should I damn the consequence and pick another wife and be crowned a king in other to make my community happy or should I forget about the whole idea entirely and allow the community sort themselves out?

I'm confused here. N B. My wife is aware of all this.

Thanks.

Please bring this to front page cause I'm no longer myself. So many sleepless nights and selfish advices from the elders in my community. I really need to hear the truth from people I don't know.
When Jesus saw that they were ready to force him to be their king, he slipped away into the hills by himself. John 6:15

You are not the first. The Jews wanted to make Jesus political king too. Slip away.
The mere fact that you haven't been yourself and they insist on a 2nd wife means it's not for you. Jesus saves.

Good deal. You should verify its not a clone. If genuine, make sure you get the Autel ID so that you can update if you want.

pyke, you are tempting me to use my small salary to chase after this scan tool. Hmmm. Impressive. I'm interested in the capabilities of this tool. In terms of diagnosis, what can it do. You didn't allow enough time to see the contents of the Service menu
You are right. Apologies. I can cover this subsequently

On a lighter note, Dear Chukel and Rationalmind - I can confirm Piyke's voice is soothing and there were no unnecessary backhand comments or inclusion of devious innuendos in his video. He somehow managed to cover everything his scanner can do in less than 25 mins. Although, I'd like to know how the owner of the Accord felt with so many problems for a car that isn't up to 4 years old.
Oga Eddee I did not say you should expose my ignorance o cheesy. Still didn't cover a lot and I'm not sure about the soothing something grin.

Will certainly do the TPMS one. That Accord was an accidented car advertised for sale. If I recall, the dealer even pulled out the airbag light to scam person angry.
Thanks for subscribing!

I'm impressed a lot of people are into DIY. However, why don't we help ourselves and reach out to one another, combine tools and solve our car issues (for those within same geographical location). Who knows, partnership might result from that leading to a big foremost service workshop.
Not bad!
