Damn! That's one of the things I fear most.

Thankfully, nobody died, but a lesson for all. A reminder...

I was cruising at 80 - 100km/hr on the inside right of a trailer. The trailer was about 5-car lengths in front, on the middle lane.

Suddenly, by the corner of my eye, I caught what looked like a car zap by my left on the lane closest to the median barrier. Nothing happened immediately until about 5 seconds later..

Location: Airport Road, FCT. This is the 10-lane express way into and out of the city towards the airport.

Details in the next few posts....

Piyke:
They were many:

1. Frame damage: non-centrally placed wheel in the wheel well etc.

2. 200k mileage mascurading as 88k

3. Altered VIN: Including swapping the underwindshield VIN stamp

4. Fake custom duty

5. No custom duty disclosed as so.

6. A car with as much as 14 current SRS codes yet the airbag light is off...alias tape or bulb deletion . Airbag deployment was not exclusion criteria, however having e.g frame damage in addition, was.

7. "Nothing to fix, buy & drive": only for you to get there, no need to even start the car.

8. Engine sound suggesting mechanical damage.

Will update if I remember

Forgot to add pictorial evidence of the bolded. Was just scrolling through my phone and found this one.

Pic 1: The rubbish VIN stamp
Pic 2: An authentic HONDA America VIN stamp

Thought to share. I don't have a picture of the underwindshield clone, would have posted that too.
Don't let them get you.

This has been dry for a bit....

Toke Makinwa had taken to twitter to share a selfie of herself with the ex-military man and former President of Nigeria Chief Olusegun Obasabjo on a private jet without shoes on.

Sharing the photo, the 2021 anchor of Gulder Ultimate Search wrote, "Look who I ran into."

The caption, however, captured the attention of many who questioned how she ended up in a private jet with Obasanjo without shoes on.

"Toke Makinwa, you ran into ex-president Obasanjo in a private plane barefooted or what? This your above picture looks questionable cause the pic looks comfortably taken & the pilot behind doesn't seem surprised to see you there; His reaction speaks volumes. Nice pic anyway. No offense," a user wrote.

Many people blasted her for the picture.

She went on her Instagram story and shared the pictures below.

This is 100% Ethiopian airlines (ET) business class or Cloud9 as they brand it.

Cloud 9 seats are red compared to the green in economy. The green drapes and the uniform of the onlooker is spot on with ET cabin crew atire.
Also, the highlighted WiFi symbol below is ET's WiFi symbol.

Appears your car uses the same high beam 9005/HB3 as used in the video, however, your low beams are different: 9006/HB4

Piyke:
Came from overseas. they cost about $35 (Amazon) for each set. So low and high beam sets cost around $60.

eherbal:
did you buy locally or ordered it from overseas? How much did it they cost?thanks

Came from overseas. Manufacturer sent me free samples to review. However, they cost about $35 (Amazon) for each set. So low and high beam sets cost around $60.

I reviewed these 2 brand: Auxito and Autoone. No flickers, no interference. Its brighter too.

I've always loved the look of white light for headlights. Finally, I got the opportunity to upgrade

HeavenlyBang:
Still at crappy Peugeot at the end of the day.

But doesn't that front end look aggressive for HeavenlyBang?

I am not a Peugeot person, however, I caught a glimpse of this in Abuja today...

Boy! I must say it looked stunning.

Had to quickly Google to properly identify the Peugeot... 2021 508. Looks like its the Sport.

erico2k2:
the 22s was proving difficult in PHC so I got 4 of them from a Tyre company here in the Uk, did not know there are loads of tyre manufacturing coy in the Uk

Looking good!

Coketols:
This has to be the most enlightening thread on AIRBAG repairs.

Piyke, please I have AIRBAG lights showing on my dashboard cluster in my Honda Civic 09.
It was accidented too upon purchase as tokunbo and the light has been there since I got it.

Please I need your inputs on how I can restore the airbags to factory settings.

Thanks

Thanks. First thing is to scan the car with a scanner that has SRS access. This will detail the repairs to be done.

dicksonadams:
Yours is mostly a valve adjustment, that adjust itself, I guess your car was a Toyota.. But Honda valve clearance needs to be manually adjusted

Not correct. Car is a Honda.

Kokomo:
@ Piyke i dont mind coming to your workchop oh,, grin lolework

Well done boss. I don't have a shop o.

I remember having this same exact experience. Mine even went north of -19LTFT and tripped the P0172. There's no troubleshooting I didn't do: checked fuel pressure, examined injectors for leaks, etc. That was when I bought a compression gauge. Only to change where I bought petrol from, and voila, the thing started coming down on its own and the code left.
Our fuel here is legendary o. In the meanwhile, I suggest you change where you buy fuel from, and let's see.

Intense water beading...

Burchester:

[quote author=defhenry post=105774411][/quote]It's funny you took this pic! I took one earlier today without even seeing yours.
My trip A came with almost 4k miles from the previous owner, and I decided to wipe it this week. I felt the 4k miles was affecting my average mpg. 100miles in, I'm getting 32mpg.

ECON when I'm cruising or in traffic. No ECON when I need to accelerate or just need the extra oomph.

EgunMogaji2:

aieromon:
Thanks.

Funny enough, I got this same number from their outlet opposite the Mabushi ultramodern market when I wanted to pick up Mannol coolant and it wasn't in stock.

I learnt about the business through their website whilst searching for a Mannol distributor in Abuja.

Thanks. Didn't even know they had a website. Although it seems they haven't renewed their hosting. Its currently down.

Frankdamaxx:
Very descriptive. Nice work.

Thanks
