Car Talk / Re: Reasons Why You Should Own A Diesel Car by psych1: 10:44pm On Dec 16, 2015
From my personal experience, I took a risk and bought a 2006 Passat car with 2.0 diesel engine.
In the last 3 months, it is the best thing that could happen to me.
A 70 litre tank filled with diesel will do average of 850km. On the average, it is takes me 2 solid weeks to refuel since I commute daily in town with it. It is responsive and the torque is high for the model. The engine also doesn't heat up easily like petrol engine after 500km of driving non stop.
At least am happy to have options of diesel and petrol engines in my life.
The engine does not throw up faults easily like petrol. It's more rugged. And mechanics are available though few.
We should start thinking out of the box in Nigeria.

Career / Re: Article: The Frustration Of Life - Lordoftheweed by psych1: 8:14am On Nov 11, 2015
Nice thread.
The big mistake we often make as human is that in our goal setting process, we ignore frustration and failure as parts of the fall outs. We are so carried away with being positive about the desirable outcome (success) whereas a sure step towards success is considering amount of frustration and failure which could result. This will make us more equipped and prepared for the uncertainties ahead us.

Hello!

We're sorry: We can't find that car
Was the car manufactured before 1981? Then it doesn't have the VIN we need to find the answers you're looking for.
Is the car brand new? It may be so new that there are no records currently on file. Check back soon, once it's had some time on the road.

It is a 2006 Volkswagen Passat. Must have been imported from Germany.

Car Talk / Peugeot 407: What Is Your View? by psych1: 7:35am On Sep 27, 2015
I came across two Tokunbo Peugeot 407 of 2004/2005.
First is black 407 salon, second is brown 407sw. Both are sweet looking grin
Am a novice when it comes to Peugeot brands.
What is the reliability, drivability, and part availability statistics from Nigerian perspective.

You are very correct. The desire of any buyer apart from reliability and aesthetics is drivability of the vehicle.
Car Talk / Re: Questions On Rx 300 Lexus by psych1: 11:44am On Jun 03, 2015
Thanks to all contributors.
I'm asking the questions outta curiosity based on immense reviews of RX300 bearing in mind that there is no perfect ride.
Information you share will surely benefit prospective buyers of this great ride.

DECOtech:

Nice one, Chukel
I keep saying that every car remains as reliable as its owner. When you service your car with olive oil or palm oil, it will rebel against you.
As for the transmission of a 99/03 RX300, it is very costly to repair and price of a replacement cld reach 400k. I don't think you wld have cause to replace if you follow manufacturer's directive during maintenance. the specified auto tranny fluid is Toyota Type T4 (never deviate from this). And it is very available in the market.
The engine oil spec is 5W30 of any good brand.
When you buy your tokunbo car, first thing you do is to change all fluids: engine oil, auto tranny fluid, brake fluid.
(check ur timing area too. If its a belt, change it)
Depending on how frequently you use the car, if serviced with the right oils, service intervals shld be with 2 to 3 months. And remember to change your auto tranny fluid once a year.
Follow this advice and your vehicle will remain your trust worthy friend.
Cheers.

Thanks for this very priceless info. I will take note of these when I acquire the baby.

chukel:
it's a very nice ride. Problem most times is the knock sensor and not the gear. But with the direction of ur questions, if u buy it, u may most likely have gear issues. U have already made up ur mind and started preparing for rebuild or replacement. The mind attracts what it thinks
Lol
Thanks for your input. I will henceforth free my mind of the negative thoughts of failed transmission.

Jokes Etc / Man Dies After Drinking Paraga by psych1: 11:00pm On Jul 30, 2013
There was confusion at Apata-Ganga area of Ibadan after a 32-year-old man, Taiwo Saidi, aka Akinigai, slumped and died shortly after drinking an alcoholic mixture, popularly called paraga.

It was gathered that the tragedy struck at a popular drinking joint at Ago-Igbira, Adifase area, Apata-Ganga at about 10.30am on Saturday.

Saidi, whose wife was recently delivered of a baby boy, reportedly abandoned his wife and the newborn baby with his parents at Omi-Adio community.

One of the deceased's friends, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said, "Saidi, a commercial bus driver, was staying with another friend, Wasiu, when the incident occurred.

"The two friends used to go from one drinking joint to another in the Apata-Ganga area. They celebrated the birth of the new born baby by drinking."

The incident was said to have been reported at the Apata Divisional Police Headquarters.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Oyo State Police Command, Mrs. Bisi Ilobanefor, could not be reached at the time of filing this report. Calls made to her telephone were not picked and message sent was not replied.

Car Talk / Re: Is Mileage Of 156,000 Miles Too High For A 1999 (ie 14-Year-Old) Car? by psych1: 11:43am On Jul 14, 2013
Maintenance matters a lot by the previous owner and the prospective buyer.
I bought a 1999 Camry in 2010 with 147000 miles. I sold it just two months ago with 182000 mileage. It is still running smoothly as I service it regularly.
Am now on a 2005 GX470 with 165000 miles. I desire to rock it for the next 4-5 years.
