My first thoughts are although this seems true one question bugs my mind.

The photopage of a passport is usually laminated and thus i guess it would be difficult to tear by hand, but what can i say it may be possible since i've never attempted tearing my photopage

This goes to show that no NYSC corp member should be posted to any northern state

paradice: @ piyke, the screen of the radio does not show any signal, moreover the cd slot does not accept new cds

Then I think you should check the fuse box to see if the fuse for the radio is blown. If I'm not mistaken this fuse should be in the fuse box close to your left leg under the dash. Let me know how it goes

@MSItachi

I think you should then do those things. It should improve your fuel consumption. Also try and scan your car since the check engine light is on. You can let me know what the code that is displayed by the scanner. cheers

It is now clear that this man is inconsistent with his stories and a thief

First they stole the money,
The money is with house chairman on Finance & drugs...
Lastly I have the money and will refund it.

This man should be in heavy trial and end in jail.

I dont know o, but my bet would be massob. This is why you don't negotiate with terrorists. Agitating groups are now discovering that FG is weak when it comes to urban warfare and that if you make so much noise they come to you and negotiate. It will be sad if this becomes the new trend in the country. First was mend, now FG has been begging BH to come and negotiate.

I feel this is just to divert attention from the farouk lawan bomb rocking the house

stynoski: Thanks guys for this tread... some time ago my mechanic wanted to remove my single-cell radiator and put a double-cell one, and I refused because I did not see any reason why I should change something that is not faulty. Can someone please throw some light on single versus double cell radiators?

No mind our mechanics that claim to know more than the manufacturers of the car. If a car has overheating problems it simply has a fault and having 2 radiators won't solve it. fixing the over heating prob will

@OP i advise u to leave the relationship for good. A man who is not mature enough to accept that sometimes a woman can earn more than him and be comfortable with it would surely oppress you in life.

Nigeria knows how to spoil things Imagine, I remember when Richard branson was running the airline but Yaradua reversed the terms on which OBJ attracted him in. With the way things are going we may not have an air nigeria soon

Tinyemeka: Mine makes that humming sound when the steering is turned i.e when the engine is still cold. Is it a fault? Remedies?

I also noticed that after one clumsy mechanic worked on the clutch-disc, I begun to hear some creaking sounds whenever the engine was cold and the car was running on low-speeds or in neutral. But after I traveled to the village and came back (road was very bad with pot-holes) I noticed that the creaking sound had stopped and the engine now runs much quieter. I truly considered this funny. Whether the gallop don shake the engine till the thing settle come tight properly.

What do I have to do about the steering hum abeg?

Here's a link that shows pictures on how the o-ring is replaced DIY. This fix is very easy, my only issue is where you would get the o-ring its part number is 91345-PAA-A01. For me I ordered mine from the US. In the link posted the new one is the red one. The black is old and loose and thats what causes the humming. This weak ring would allow air into your power steering system and may cause the fluid to foam and overflow.

[quote author=nl.official]No, the check light is not on. About the throttle, Don't really understand what you mean. When driving, most times, I'll throttle and then take off my leg, and press the throttle again so as to respond well, but it'll still not be enough. The idling is smooth.[/quote]What RPM does the car idle at?

paradice: @ toba. Thanks bro, the radio power is on and I always use the ac

Does the screen of the radio show that the CD is still playing. ie the cd is actually reading but no sound? If so its likely your sound IC is gone

icemann: I believe water causes metal to rust. Even if its an aluminium block your radiator is made from iron some times and some others copper.

The boiling point of Clean water(H20) is 100 degrees Celsius or 212f, With all the salts like Magnesium, calcium and chlorine(in tap water) you can have it boil at less than 85 celcius. These salts deposit after after long use of water( same whitish stuff you seee at the bottom of kettles)and the deposits clog your cooling lines and stresses the water pump.
As water boils it expands and also releases gases dissolved in it.Gas expansion due to heat is way more than liquid expansion. Your car cooling system is a close system and this expansion causes pressure build up. At some point some thing has to give way, either the water pump, hose, or radiator.

Coolant is made up of mainly TEG ( Tri ethylene glycol) and silicates. TEG has a boiling point above 320f and low expansion due to heat. New cars have a shuf off system that would tun off the engine when temp rises above a certain point.

Pls do not use water if you want your engine to last long

Amongst other functions coolant prevents rust. If you keep using water very soon your radiator may start leaking

[quote author=nl.official]NL experts,

my 2005 Honda Accord does not have swift movement at start, most especially when the A/C is on, I mean it drags. The plugs are working fine and I serviced the nozzles not quit long. Can it be from the fuel pump? Please help.[/quote]Is your check engine light on?

The other question i'd like to ask you is how is the idling of the car? is it smooth? If not, the throttle body may need cleaning

showreals: Please how do i get a Manual for my EOD, i will also check my catalyst stuff too cos i feel it consumes fuel more than normal too. from my home to office is like 27km and same back, and a full tank of about 65 litres can only take me 1 week (five days)!!!

About the fuel stuff, you can do these few things first:
1. Correct tire pressure: low tire pressures would take more fuel
2. Get a very good fuel injector cleaner. I used the STP brand (gray bottle) that i bought in shoprite and men i noticed a hell of difference
3. When last did you change or clean your engine air filter? This should be done every 5000 miles according to the manual i think but here in naija we generally have more dust, so it should be done more regularly. I try to do mine every time I service (every 3 months)
4. Is your check engine light on? If so then you need to scan the vehicle as something may be wrong with the emissions system of the car

yahla: I got same issues with mine right now. What gasket precisely did you get so i'll know how to go about mine? Been on the web since, info i got tells me to change "Inlet Joint Bolt". Please advice.

@yahla let me first describe in detail what mine was doing then.

1. If you start the car in the morning there would be the humming sound from the bonnet that would increase in intensity if you turn the steering to any of the sides.
2. When you drive the car and it heats up, the noise reduces and only comes back when the car started again after cooling down.

Is this what yours is doing?

nbl tech: I'v successfully relocated to Onitsha. Boko haram shud go to hell !

Congrats on your relocation bro

nija80: i will not agree with you on that,Honda cars are rugged and durable.I was driving a baby boy before getting an EOD Since early 2010 and i must tell you it nice car,yes its very expensive when it does have problem which is not often.Your wheel bearing is the first point of call, then maybe shaft and absorber but they dont go bad like that except the wheel bearing.but either they go bad early or not the prices of the parts can be heavy if you no chop belefull.but on a sincere note its a nice car with good fuel economy.i drive from warri to Kaduna with full tank on A/C that i can tell you. cheers

This sounds strange to me. This journey should be over 500miles abi?

ijebuboy18: From personal experience,pls run away from an EOD unless u hav deep pockets n hav a steady stream of cash. Problems I have encountered with mine include:
1. Brain box: cost me 90k abt 3yrs ago,jst stay clear of floods cos its location is underneath ur stereo,
2. Gear transmission problems: jst serviced it recently again n still having issue and
3. Parts r freaking expensive, just changed 2 hubs 4 35k.
Though it has 2 be said that the engine is super,fuel consumption is jst ok(not as economical as a toyota) and performance is great, even a novice will notice d diff btw a 4 plug honda engine n a V6 toyota.
But if u jst wanna buy a car 2 take u 2 work n back n inside town trips, pls get a toyota anything.

Please can you explain what you mean by the part in bold. Do u mean there isn't much difference between an I4 honda and a V6 toyota?

I have had a good experience with my EOD. The major thing with cars in naija are that many mechanics dont know what they are doing and we drivers don't like getting informed about our cars.

I still remember my mechanic who is quite good telling me that one noise from my power steering in the mornings was because it was about to give up and that a new one was around 30k. Well I looked up the symptom on the web. It was due to a small gasket costing less than $1. Bought this and changed it myself; its been 1 year now and the sound has never returned.

The other thing is the state of the car when you purchase it.

My EOD has served me well no major repairs save fuel pump change which i contributed to by driving a lot with low fuel. I changed this myself too!!! I have benefited a lot from handling the car according to my manual.
The other thing i noticed is that it reacts a lot to bad fuel, but using injector cleaner when this happens kills the check engine light

Two things are responsible for these infidels boko haram still being in existence

1. A lack of will on the part of the president to crush everyone related to them in or out of government

2. A minister for defence and SSS who operate with mere brute force and lack the calibre of intelligence required to surmount modern urban warfare.

Imagine that this evil spokesman has been releasing statements yet his location can't be traced How do they manage to upload youtube videos yet their IP addresses are not traced I don't even think they use software's that re-route IP addresses for that matter

cusehcuseh: Who amongst thm tht hasn't collectd bribe or xyphone 9ja's money shld cast d 1st stone. Dis man didnt collect 9ja's moni bt paid 2 cover Otedola whom sum1 enlistd hs cmpany among those 2 b paid subsidy fee. Hav they caught who enlistd otedola's 2 cmpanies 2 b paid?
Subsidy's panel hw far wt d developmnt?
Is he d only beneficiary of d $620?
Pls, we nid Buhari 2 cm in n penaliz all dis pple. They make me sick.

I laughed when i the part in bold especially after his recent jail or shoot recipe. I would support death anyway...personally

The truth is that Farouk couldn't have eaten that money alone. I recall that otedola said farouk told him that the $3million was to settle other members of the house.

I think we are yet to see more dirty laundry

I observed how his hands were shaking when the speaker asked him to repeat his recommendation for Otedola's firms to be removed from the list

I still remember crying heavily the day i swallowed an orange seed and my mum told me it was going to grow out of my head. Sounds funny now but omo i cried and cried until i was told it wont happen

I don't know if any kind of re-branding would be able to bring dana out of the waters as I don't see any Nigerian patronising the airline.

The whole sudden naming thing tire me o

Oh the joys of finding and marrying your own!!! Why would i want to cheat on my lovely angel. Marriage is way deeper than having sex.

Going after sex alone will make you a slave to sex, at the end of the day cheating becomes your master.

There is no doubt that along the way of marriage u can have times when sex becomes a bit boring, in times like this I and wifey research (I don't mean porn, cos that one is a slave master too, they are sites with clean advice for sex) on ways of spicing up our marriage bed . And before we know it the kick is back

Also real love for your wife makes sex even more exciting. The hard truth is that not many couples take the time to make their marriage juicy and enjoyable.

I do not for any reason desire being in bed with another woman, never. why should I when my lifelong babe is by my side

I really fear some girls. Someone does not trust you enough to tell you his surname and age, yet you claim your in a relationship!!!

Worse still is that your friend has given him her highest treasure. Your friend needs help, I feel she has a low self esteem to have fallen for this.

This guy in question is on a kill mission, its very obvious. Why some girls just get carried away with emotions in the face of concrete negative evidence is what I don't understand.

If this guy leaves tomorrow, your friend does not even have a complete name to look for him with. Looking for someone only with a first-name...

@OP please pull your friend out of this rubbish
