I dont have a picture, because I dont want it to hunt me.....

But there is a Range Rover Sport somewhere in Lagos running on a Mercedes Fan.

Car started overheating and Nobody could figure out what was the issue. Replaced everything including the engine.....

Used super glue and baking powder to seal one radiator leak like that after a kiss from a pothole.. Let's just say I tried epoxy and it did not seal.. Been using the radiator ever since with the superglue /baking powder... Not a drop.. Dry as a got plate

Don't get angry. Mercedes Benz owners don't kazeemize their machines.

My w211 sound system stopped working. The MB logo would show and went off after few seconds.

I discovered the navigation system is bad, therefore i needed a loop (see attached photo) to bypass the navigation so power could get to the CD changer directly.

I couldn't bear the waiting period for the shipment because driving was already boring.

I unplugged the power cable from the navigation, cut it and used BIRO INK TUBE to bypass the navigation so power could get to the CD changer directly.

I don't have pictures of the process anymore.

You no those sharp practices you usually do to save a few bucks that actually works, well post your vehicle fabrications that actually worked in this thread

...
No vex if I didn't mention you, means you no de find trouble

Sometimes one cannot help but not follow the manufacturer's instructions...what if for example through no fault of the manufacturer...the part that needs to be replaced is not available on the market and no one else makes that part but the client wants the car to be drivable, I have recently run into this issue, then the ingenuity of the technician comes into play...it makes for an interesting story...more on this soon

Used 4minutes gum, 2 inch pipe (short), clips, rubber band and scotch tape to fix a turbo hose. Hose burst on a weekend on a journey and a replacement won't be available till at least four days.
Above items fixed the hose temporarily and lasted for more than a month before replacement was installed. Worked quite well.

Boss, I want to change my Honda Accord 2007 gear oil cos it's brownish and it's drying up (not up to gauge)
I got to a shop and I found out there are two types.
the fake N3,500 and original N18,000 respectively.
The cheaper is cool for me considering the economy but I'm afraid it may damage my gear.

Please write back sir.
