kanuisagoat: Since he tops with water every three days wouldn't that imply he has a leak? It could be boiling off but yes. That's why I mentioned a leak if he hasn't checked yet. |

What about the complete suspension replacement for the front tyres? Umm.. might want to narrow that down. Complete suspension is a lot. Why?? |

Chelseafan1: Madam Radu, how's the workshop Seun and every staff?..
My next oil change will be done at the workshop God willing.
I have only driven for 1500 miles since the last change, still has 3500 miles to go.
How much will a new set of tie rod /Ball joint cost. Lemme plan for it while coming.? Tie rods N17,100 - N28,300 each depending on which one it is. Will have to be ordered. Do you know which ones? Inner, outer? Ball joint about N10k on Amazon I think. Ours don't come separately. They come with control arm. |

nurey: In simple terms an interference engine gets valves bent when the timing gives way in motion or when it is not in motion and you kick the car and engine rolls.
"valves aren't expensive but the job is" means each valve could cost you not more than 2 to 3k for quality but the job is a tough one, engine has to be brought down opened and dismantled, bent valves removed and Engine internals scrutinized for other faulty components like seals, engine block, piston damage if non then it has to be coupled back exactly with the right torque wrench for bolts . in other words your average Joe doesn't have the required expertise or tools for doing it. The engine though will work but won't last. Exactly. Thanks. |

Backfornow: Speaking of what Indianapolis is known for, the Indy 500. It was 2 weeks ago and it is a huge deal here. The Indianapolis 500 is an automobile race held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana, which is near Indianapolis, Indiana. It is one of the biggest racing event in the world. Every year more than 200,000 people come there to watch the race. It occurs once a year on the day before Memorial Day. This event gives its name to the IndyCar class, a type of open-wheel race car that races in it. Fans of this race sometimes call the race The Indy 500.
Here are some more facts about it. https://blog.firestonecompleteautocare.com/driving/facts-about-indy-cars/amp/ THEY'RE MAKING A LEFT TURN! OOOOOOHHHH ANOTHER LEFT TURN! ROFL |

lionlee216: There is not doubt that ATL airport is not only big but very beautiful. After passing through the TSA, i took a train to Terminal E. I found myself sitting at the waiting gate staring at this big plane going to Zurich. During Boarding, the screen showed one seat available. Does that mean right there, if i decided to go visit Zurich, i can purchase a ticket online at the spot, print out my boarding pass and the hop on the plane going to Zurich without passing tru immigration or someone checking if i have the necessary documents to board the plane because i noticed the agent at the gate was just scanning their tickets ONLY.
It might be a stupid question but i am curious No, you would have to go back to the ticketing desk. If you already had a ticket, you could do an upgrade but fresh ticket, no. |

lionlee216: The man wasnt telling me what i wanted to hear so I decided to do it the normal way. Website stated $60 money order for expedited and workers at the consulate said its $65. Most of us bought money orders for $65 only for the people doing capturing say unless we have documentations to prove that the need for the passport is urgent, they cant do expedited service for us.
To my face, one of the staffs was telling those producing passport saying "my wife's friend and her kids" are on the way on do biometrics and i want them to do it asap and get their passport. The response i heard was " Just tell them to come in immediately they arrive"... I just shook my head..
But all in all, i have done it and waiting for passport to be mailed.. Remember I told you I had to show plane ticket for expedite. What date did they give you for receiving it? Did you talk to Ed or one of his staff? What matters is it's done now. |

laudate: Pls how does one fix the valves in a 2007 Nissan Xterra? The mechanic said the timing chain had a problem. This was replaced. Now he is saying all valves were affected and have to be replaced? I don't understand. Is he correct? How much are the valves? Any ideas? Valves themselves are cheap. Replacing them is expensive |

Crvrider: Okay, fair enough. Budget wise this is okay. How can I get this? Only problem is where to get ac water. Email or call the shop for the coolant and tell them I said to see if they can collect some ac water for you. I'm not sure if it's currently collected or runs into the drainage |

Crvrider: Thanks for the feedback rad. But most of the coolant already says 50/50. Can I still use one gallon of the bigger size and use distilled water to measure up? Thanks. 50/50 is already mixed so no water. You would have to buy two of the large or four of the small to fill. That's why I said you're better off buying one undiluted large and mixing with equal portion of distilled water. My first choice for Honda is this http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=ANT&partNumber=675130 but it is a little expensive. If you are strapped for cash, just buy the one below for N6,700 and mix with equal part of distilled water. More than enough for your car. http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=ANT&partNumber=301

Crvrider: I understand they no longer produce z1, courtesy of luvinghubby. Just trying to take things step by step cos I don't know the maintenance culture of the previous owner. Just changed oil to mobil1. Next thing I want to do is the coolant, then transmission and afterwards brake oil. Yes, Z1 was replaced by DW1 which is why I said either/or. |

Crvrider: My brother na only me waka come o, i ain't looking for trouble just something that is pocket friendly with good quality. BTW this is a smaller gallon that is why its cheap. Though not sure what size Dru's product is but this one says 1.89l(1/2gallon) In that case, forget previous comment. You would need about 4 of those to properly drain and refill your car. You can use it but cheaper to buy one gallon of undiluted and mix with gallon of distilled water (aka ac water) |

xana101: Please guys help me. I use a Samsung 6s and the battery doesn’t last at all. If I put on Uber app, it drain the battery faster than taxify app. It’s a very big challenge for me. I’ve changed d battery still the same issue. Who can recommend a more faster charging charger for me and where to buy it. I’ve like 3 very good chargers and good cords, but still having same issues. Update your os or factory reset your phone. If that doesn't work you need a new battery |
