I know more about cars than ur ancestors.
You are d frustrated one here.
Stop making people believe they will have to spend their life savings to own a Benz..
My challenge is still open: if you think your Benz is better than mine with ur outrageous parts, let us race.

shortgun:


Leylow, The OEM parts importer
You guys should understand that its not everyone that is that gullible!
Stop diverting traffic from Nairaland to ur WhatsApp group.
Discuss all Benz related issues here for all to see if you have nothing to hide.

kingreign:

You're only concerned about racing when you've used terrible means to keep your pile of contraption rolling along the road. What race are you even talking about?


Better let this be a joke

shortgun:

Bro, its not a joke.
If you think you buy better parts than I do....I challenge you to a race.
Stop making people give u their life savings all in the name that they are driving a Benz, also stop diverting traffic from Nairaland to ur WhatsApp group.
I've been there and you mean no good to people in that group.
You only created the group to decieve the gullible.

goodguygonebad:
You're unbelievable

goodguygonebad:
I love you so much I wouldn't want to risk your life in your welded tierod enabled car.

Like I said, before you rant around, go through this thread and learn. The answers to your burning questions are on the pages of this thread. I am referring to your problems with the whatsapp group.

It's too low for you to involve ancestors here. And yet you say you're not pained.

If you can't afford care for a Benz, wisdom says to not venture into it. What's too hard for you to agree with that on? Why would you advise that people go around engaging in acts that will risk their pockets on the long run? Penny wise pounds foolish.

It's fool hardy for you to think car upkeep is cheap. Hell NO!!! FYI, go check up the price of OEM Toyota shock absorbers. Do you think they come cheap?

If you like, get scrap metal from mai bola and attach to your car, it's never the standard, it won't ever be.

And yes, you need to be set apart to maintain a Benz. If you think otherwise, please hug the closest transformer to you

shortgun:

Just quit my mention if you've got nothing sensible to say.
I insist nobody needs to break the bank to maintain a Benz.
Benz is a cheaper car to own but people like you make it seem like its very expensive to drive a Benz.
You can never fool people like me.
Like I said before if your aims is to solve Benz related issues why did you create a closed WhatsApp group where you can delete people who doesn't share in your opinions, why not solve all the problems here on Nairaland which is an open forum?
Why are you sourcing members to your fraudulent WhatsApp group from here?

When you taya, just let the world know.

FYI, if I am mod on NL, I can suspend your account and keep suspending it as much as I want. That it's NL doesn't stop anyone from keeping anyone from spewing thrash.

It were better you tell the whole world the reason you were boothed out of the whatsapp group. Please deny your advise to weld a tierod rather than change it to OEM. Wasn't that the reason you were deleted after being told to desist from suggesting unsafe acts to members?

Now I would allow people with sane minds determine and judge between you and the whatsapp group you're so out to paint in bad light.

goodguygonebad:


And please with all due respect if no one defrauded you from the whatsapp group, I would suggest you desist from making false claims of such. If you were defrauded, open a thread. Bring forth your proofs. Otherwise, get a life. Kemi's still putting on prison clothes.

shortgun:

You need to get a life dude.
If only you can tell yourself the truth.
I was deleted from your group cos I heard an issue with one of you.
You all sided with him.
You are all admins in that group.
I was later added but I left on my own.
You delete anyone who doesn't agree with what you say.
What makes you think you know it all?
If you can't accommodate other people's opinion why do you invite people to the group?

I left when I realized that you created the group not to help people solve their Benz issues with minimal cost but to make them buy parts from you or your associates at outrageous prices.
Anything you don't recommend is bad.....is your name Mercedes Benz?

As for you been a mod here; you can go Bleep yourself for all l care.
If only you know me in person you won't threaten me.

goodguygonebad:
You're above my league yet you go so low as to determine that the group is used as a funnel to make money.

Go on fixing your benz with scrap from mai bola. Na your motor. But if an attempt to save your life from dangerous acts is seen as a business move from you, so be it.

Don't gloss over the issue. You wanna wash dirty linen? I accussed you of welding tierod and advising others to do same. To the point of insisting. You were corrected by an admin and on insisting on your path you were boothed out. Deny the allegations and we can continue from there.

I am no moderator. I don't use swear words. No one threatens you more than your unsafe acts threaten your life.

Grow up

shortgun:

Just quit my mention OK.
I've tried my best to warn people to stay off your WhatsApp group.
If you want to treat Benz related issues.. Treat them here.
I will never be part of you..cos I don't steal from people.
Anyone who doesn't heed my warnings will have himself to blame.
This is the last time I will reply you.

LeylowDee:

I will respect others on this thread and sheath my sword. You just have to deny the accusation I directed at you. I am insisting on this so as to clear the air of his accusation.

You complained about the whatsapp group, accusing and all what not. Saying you had an issue with an admin which made other admin come for you. Let's agree all this is true. Can you please tell the honourable people on this thread what made you to have an issue with the admin of the whatsapp group. I said you welded your tierod and was insisting on the group that your way is right, thereby recommended it to others. Said admin cautioned you from propagating an unsafe act. And it led to your leaving the group.

Is this true or false? If you can't answer me, then I believe you should do the honourable thing.

@nurel thanks. I will sheath my sword once he can accept responsibility.

The reason why I left the group was that you guys suggested a type of oil that you have certified and approved as the best oil for our engines.
When I used this oil after about a week I started to get check engine oil level error message on my cluster.

I don't have any leakages, the oil was simply burning.
When I brought the matter to the group, an Admin said my engine was dead this is why I was getting the error message.
I was angry with him n I told him, only for me to removed and nothing was done to him.
I was later added back, I asked all the members if I've broken any rule and they all said No!
I asked if I didn't break any rule, why was I removed? No one gave me any answer.

I finally told them that if the person who removed me didn't apologize I won't return to the group.
I was added back more than 5 times, I left on my own all the times.
I choosed to stay out.

If you can tell yourselves the truth;
this is exactly what happened,
I didn't add, I didn't remove,
I didn't forget any event.
For the last time stay off my mention, I won't honour you with reply again if you like gather all ur people to come attack me here.

Philadelphia:
Someone please give me the cost of engine and gearbox of w203 c320. Tell me some stuffs about that ride and the cost to get one now.
Also, what should I do and what should I not do. I'd be getting that ride soon by God's grace; Amen!

You guys should give it a rest, it's not a request, it's a plea. Thank you
According to the research I gathered online, the recommended plug in terms of quality
1. Iridium
2. Platinum
3. Copper

Though copper is a good conductor but it's not about conduction but other factors come into play. Copper doesn't last, it's life time is around 20,000miles while iridium and platinum are poor conductors but last more than copper reason why they are preferred to copper.

Every manufacturers has put things in place before they recommend whatever they do, using copper isn't bad but since it doesn't last, car manufacturers tend to sway to other metallic components. Have in mind there are other metals used in spark plugs too for totally different engine settings.

My toyota sienna 2000 says use double tipped iridium spark plugs

nakoks:

Forget the cost of the engine and gear Philadelphia,cos u will never get to change them except u pour salt in the engine or abro in the gear.That said the ride is a solid machine and "bullet proof" like all benz engines.

Philadelphia:

Thank you so much. Please how much can it go for now and what model year would you advice me to go for?
Other information would be highly appreciated.
Thank you again

kingreign:

Circa 2.1-2.6m

Philadelphia:


Thanks. It seems somewhat above my budget. How much should I budget a sound naija used one? Also, which w203 can I get for your above quote or less?
Thanks Kingreign.

kingreign:

Budget 1.5-1.7m for very clean unit.

Experts in the house, I need help fast
My 1997 Benz E230 is giving me headache.
I just changed the brain box as recommended by my mechanic because changing from one gear to another is difficult and most often, it enters neutral on its own and the engine goes off often when driving.

Even the Brain box change did not help the situation and to get foreign ATF in Abuja is another problem of its own.

Someone recommended Banex Plaza to me and I search both the old and the new plaza without locating the Lebanese auto dealer.

Where will I get real benz foreign ATF that will work well in Abuja?

And any other suggest as to how to solve this will be welcome.

Thank you in advance
