For me I think it’s to services every 2 months

thelegend1:


Hian....every 2 months ke?!
Do you drive from Lagos to Ibadan as daily commute?

Be deceiving yourself, as if the e70 is a light car.

LeJeun3:




Well like I said earlier that's the reason why you complain of these cars being expensive to maintain...!

- brake disc, how do you do you know its not warped?? Worn, resurfaced ??
- brake pads, the silly claim that they are better than new is appalling
- radiator of all things u replace with a used unit?? Why because a gummed up radiator is better than a new unit??

If you talked about modules and body parts I wouldn't have even batted an eyelid...

Imagine going to buy a
- used toothbrush
- used socks
- used underwear
- used handkerchief

If you have not spent up to 4m on engine replacement parts don’t argue with me it was a very old man at Ajayi farm in ikeja that fixed and gave that the advice the old doesn’t need to get black before u service

Hmmm, that is riskier. Besides the fuel and the oil, the other culprit is the radiator coolant. A lot of us use anti freeze which is very wrong. We don't have any freezing temperature here in the country and so we tend to copy things that are not relevant to the car. I have driven under -2 © years ago and I know the effect of the anti freeze. It prevents the radiator to freeze but here, we wake up with 25 degrees in the morning. Oil is also a coolant dispersing heat away from the engine and good oil is needed. The Euro 6 standard for fuel is not available here and so we manage what we find. The use of low octane fuel is a sure bet to destroy the engine.

Bro wrong assumption, I can tell you more about this stuff as I happen to be a fluid Engineer, Anti freeze works in a way that it prevent the rapid change of temperature of the fluid it is mixed with in this case WATER, On one end of the spectrum, antifreeze lowers the freezing point of water in the coolant mixture, and as such preventing it from freezing inside the radiator, the water pump and hoses. On the other hand, it raises the boiling point of the water in the coolant mix(water), giving it greater cooling capacity. SO in general it slows the process of either heating up or freezing. In the west we suffer from freezing the general name given was antifreeze. Modern day antifreeze now contains elements of antirust a minimal quantity of some sort of lub and wear proof to prevent delicate parts of rubb er and plastic components,

I have heard of peopple buying used air filters lol

You are very correct on this one. But from my experience using Freezetone, there is no 50/50 mix of the coolant. It is 100% usage.

sooperrescue:


I am close to Ajayi Farm and I am not very old and so it can't be me. If you are using the right oil, even as a daily drive, 6 months is still the mark. I used to travel to Abuja from Lagos and back and yes I can change every three months because by the time I am on my 3rd return trip from Abuja of 899kms per trip, the oil should be changed even though it is highway mileage, but I still do change the oil. That was when I was using Total and Oando. But with Addinol and Castrol, my customers return their cars for service after 7 month at times

erico2k2:

Now you are talking about the quality of antifreeze I get.Use the wrong one you kill the cooling system.even ur thermostat might get clogged.

I had a 2015 V6 that we overhauled. The owner was driving with coolant level low and decided to buy coolant and immediately he added green coolant to the red one inside and the engine knocked after five minutes of driving.

Hmmm. The guy was driving with a red intermittent coolant level low on the dashboard and according to him decided to buy coolant at a petrol station in ikorodu axis and still according to him, immediately he poured the green coolant after he waited for the engine to cool down, he drove out of the station and he noticed that the car was no longer accelerating like before and the next thing, it stopped at a very dangerous area of the ikorodu axis and he placed a call to our towing team. I tried to call the nearest truck to ikorodu but no one dared to go there. Next was to help them remove the gear from park because he found someone who had volunteered to help with the towing. I tried explaining to them the process but they couldn't get it. Then a police officer called to beg me to come over and assist. This time, it was already midnight. The battery was dead from the constant vain effort to start the car and they did not know where to jumpstart the car. I eventually went to the place and I was there by 1 am and dragged the car to Ikeja with a sienna towing me and the owner driving the car I came with. Though it was not advisable, I had to manage the car with the gear cable lifted up till we got to Ikeja. [b]Except for the sump,crankshaft and one of the cylinders which were still okay, everything else was changed. The block engine cracked and affected the cylinder, the pistons flew out of its place. So in a nutshell, he told me that it was after he put the green coolant into the car that the car finally [/b]decided to stop moving. He said that he was not aware that he could use water instead of the coolant. His friends who were with him in the car confirmed the story.

Hmmm. I have two direct 2013 range Rover sport for sale. Poorly used but repairs guaranteed.

banky3w:

Can I daily drive these?

Hydrolock caused by coolant (non compressible fluid) getting into combustion chamber (blown gasket) it's not rocket science.

Mixing red blue or pink coolant will not cause an engine to fail immediately.

sooperrescue:


Red and green coolant. First it’s on a Rangerover. Second, what type of coolants are they selling at petrol stations ? Third, the owner confirmed that he used the green coolant on the red already in the car. Like you confirmed with your post, it will destroy the head gasket. So imagine the cheap coolant being sold locally on a V6 supercharged of a Rangerover, you will get a volcanic eruption in the engine and that was what happened
