FINALLY!! HE GETS IT!
I know a lot about cars but I'm NOT a tech. My HUSBAND Glen is! An ASE certified master tech of 35 years! Most of what I know I learnt from him, some from my uncles the rest from owning shop in Houston and learning some tricks from my techs. I don't have room left in my brain to learn much else! Book too plenty. That being said,I can run circles around most of the "techs" I've seen in Naija and on NL

Sure bro...

Lols at real mortuary , what's the risk in puffing in an airconditioned ride? Shebi AC go filter everything comot na?
Meen no mechanic wey person sabi for Yola oh...

I just wanted to confirm you weren't puffing while driving, like that "damn niggar" guy cheesy

.

If you haven't gotten a reliable mechanic yet, then it's better advised to park the car until you find one, especially with that blinking CEL. I have a contact around north, but he's far from you. Jos based.

radautoworks just suggested it shouldn't be fixed. Already got a contact in Yola today sef. Was making preparations when I saw her mention.

I no dey fix am again jarey. I'll rough the car, enjoy and exhaust the AC gas wella till the engine finally RIP...

Moves are already in place to get a tokunbo X3 2006-2008 model next year by God's grace...

I actually puff while driving. There's a reason a cigarette lighter is available in most cars. I'm guessing it's because it's allowed.

I just saw where she made the suggestion. Electrical issues can be a hell to work on. Perhaps that would be the best alternative considering your location and unavailability of competent techs.

By X3, you mean the BMW right? O boy small small, if kazeem nor fit fix ordinary Honda na come Bimmer cheesy

? I don't know anything about that ride though, but I've read from here that BMWs are a sophisticated technology. But if they have their numbers in your city and there are available techs that specialize in them, then you are good to go.

Damn niggar, I can see where your car issues are coming from. You've been competing with the car's exhaust for the limited power available cheesy

I am begging you in the name of the car Gods not to buy this car. My father gave his own away to my uncle after about two years. In two years my uncle sell am for 800k because na soso wahala. When water pump matter start he just sold it for groundnuts. This particular vehicle is the spawn of Satan.

There is a reason Toyotas are popular but I'm not big on them either. JUST DO NOT BUY 06-08 X3. If you want BMW buy the 6 cylinder X 5

If you do buy it, please make us your mechanic grin

So happy you atleast vouch for the X5 even tho I'm not too keen on it, cos of it's gigantic size.

What about the BMW 3series? I'm in love with 'em '06 series and above. Which model would you prescribe I buy?

And ofcourse you can be rest assured I'll be your customer once I hit Lagos. I'm all for quality, and your thread epitomizes it...

If you're okay with a sedan the 3-series is a much better choice. Just make sure to have it lifted and thoroughly inspected for leaks because motor is tilted to the side and tends to leak from valve cover gasket. Also get it scanned first. You should be okay though if it passes inspection. Take your pick.
