She didn't resist the urge to shalaye...

Let's forget about it and move forward...

jaymejate:
Do your company fix windshield like Mr Felicity used to?

weyreypey:
Your mistake. Op asked only about the ml550. You went of tangent imperially chirping about the efernal MDX....

nakoks:
Matter that has been buried.Better let sleeping dogs sleep.The guys that flooded here came from BMW and Volvo thread.Aunty goes about telling them why their brands are not good in their own house.Later someone will be begging someone to delete post.

SaintHilary:
Madam Radu, Abeg na Ur receipt bdis?
Make eno be say I go wrong shop

Felicity0001:
2ndly, Chemicals (resins) expired, high cost of exchange rate, difficulty getting shipment from the USA plus other factors.

..

Finally, Got 2 jars of glass Mechnix resins from a dealer in Abuja, but this time customers are not ready to pay handsomely for a job well done. Competition as windshield where no more being imported but are now been manufactured here in Nigeria this now crashed the prices of windshield.

So all of these put together are the reason for my decision of quitting.

bizzle2:
Lol, so they're suddenly . . . "minute features that don't translate to real world advantage",
but these features were what you originally touted as The MDx's advantage over the ML550 ?
Now clearly the 2013 MDX even lags behind the 2013 ML550 in that regard

18 inch screen abi 9 inch screen?

I dont know who would be looking to buy a N10m+ car because of 21 inch screen or input sources, when even a 2001 mdx can have those features with many after market units and android screens.

Real world value in a Luxury SUV for me are in the

Performance
Safety
Interior/ Exterior Styling
Comfort
Handling

And those are the important categories where I expected you to tell me where the MDX beats the 550 not in the screen size.
The only things you can Max out in any MDX are comfort/ convenience features , onboard entertainment and a few other "minute features like you called them. No maxing out can turn an MDX to a 550.

Mercedes has 13 different classes and over 65 models, are you sure you've had all ?

For the record, I would pick a 2008 mdx over a 2008 ml 550,

bizzle2:
The bolded is My point exactly,

Felicity0001:
Its very possible bro as a matter of fact I did several jobs of such way back that one would hardly tell if there is a crack there.

95% jobs I did then looking from the inside where like a fainted razor blade scratch on a glass If d windshield is of good quality n crack is fresh say like within a week. But if dirt particles enters and stick on the middle layer of the windshield which is like a nylon material and stays for months b4 coming for repair, after work done the dirty will be visible to the naked eyes.

From experience your engine oil seal might be worn out and leaking somewhere.. A good mechanic will need to open up the engine cover and check for leaks or worn out seal or valves ...keep in mind your car is over 15 years old with high miles .. So it is natural for things to be worn out.

Below is an example of worn out seals in one of my uber cars.. I talk about few months ago , the car was shortening oil like crazy , I was advice to use thicker oil cause car his high miles etc .. So I seek a second opinion and a nairaland mechanic open up the engine valve and we saw the worn out seals.. It was replace and oil never shorten after that.. And I still continue to use the manufacturer recommended oil 5w20.. So have it checked out .. And also check the Pcv valves too ...As a car owner try and take some initiative and research on your own .. It will help you in the long run and save u money..


And you said you use Hardex oil ... have never heard of it before, please and please research your oil before using, Google is your friend.... Let us try to be responsible car owners

mingles:
Thank you ma'am. I have checked but it does not look like a match.
......but those prices are scary to replace a part on a 13yrs old vehicle.lol. almost half the insured value of the vehicle.

Thanks for your support.

Blackbishop:
Mama rad all your service numbers are not connecting.

Do you have RAV 4 alternator

Crvrider:
An OND in what exactly, driverpreneur management!? Even the presido of Nigeria only needs a waec certification.

Please I would like to ask of any good conventional/mineral oil of the 5w30 grade I can use for a 2004 Corolla. I have searched wide and it's the expensive synthetic oils I always see in that 5w30 grade. The cheapest I have seen is Mobil Semi synthetic locally made 5w 30 at 5500 naira. I have been using it but it shorts at 2500km so I have to top up one litre and use till 4500-4800km then I go for service.

I prefer frequent oil changes so I don't want to use expensive synthetic 5w 30 oils.

BuddingSummer:
It was gotten directly from America ma. Its pure Tokumbor. I guess they were using 5w30?

BuddingSummer:
Hi, I need an answer to this. God bless you.

I bought a Camry 2.4 this January. I have serviced it 3 times with Mobil xhp. Only 3 times.

I want to revert back to the original 5w30 that was recommended. Is it advisable to do this?

Gazzuzz and Radautoworks, your input is needed. Thanks.

Carshopper:
The landmine called E-hailing....how true !

cluewebhost:
I know, he was really helpful in getting the car from where it was to where it is now but I don't enjoy bothering people all the time.
I told them to use the same transmission oil he uses for his cars and they brought that one.
I'm thinking either what was inside should have been drained first or the quantity isn't enough but need confirmation as I'm just a few days in owning the car.

Aussie19:
My friend, no offense, but the title of this thread literally says Uber PARTNERS, not DRIVERS, so I think your rant is a bit bizarre. Not saying I disagree with your general message, but there's a blatant inaccuracy I had to point out.

madgoat:
Location of your workshop sir?

Blackbishop:
You might not believe this but am a fan of your works and an aspiring business man of your structure.

All the best ma'am

HeavenlyBang:
Una matter tire me for this thread.


No lie, though. Unless it's something that affects drivability and ease of life, there's no point fixing it immediately.

dannybrasky:
