The valvoline was a special order and valvoline is not big in the market like Mobil 1 . I do so many special request example is a/c compressor for 2010 Camry.. So for now castrol oil will not be available until early next year.. So am not taking orders now .. Container loading is too stressful and I want rest till next year.. But Mobil 1 extended performance full ground.. You have been one of my loyal customers so far , so you can always hit me up for future orders.. You know my number and my email ..

Let me clarify. It's either conventional or synthetic. Blend is a scam and not worth the price difference.

What's the price of your Liqui moly 5w30?

And what other brand of 5w30 is available and price?

Several kilometre in deed.. I don’t blame you though.. every year money is released for same road and it all ends up in pothole patching.

You know the number 1 reason for the repairs is because of ease of traffic for the members of living faith church and then others living within the neighborhood will benefit.

He definitely wouldn't repair if it won't primarily benefit him directly or indirectly. I attended that church for more than a year and i know how bad traffic can be even when the road was fairly motorable. So you can imagine if it's completely bad, how the traffic will be so bad and causing pains and suffering to their members.

That alone can discourage members from attending. So the best move is to repair. That's chicken change to him and remember Shiloh is almost here and vehicular movement won't be funny.

So to me, this shouldn't be news at all.

How far the fan, does it make a lot of noise like the C240?

I like the fact that my engine is sooo cool and u can barely hear it's sound when idling.

If I use 2k fuel on my c230k, how much fuel should I expect the c320 to burn?

grin grin cheesy

Why you dey cry like this on top fuel matter and you wan drive Benz?

To me ooo, the C320 is a better ride when compared to the C230. Well, preference differs but my choice would definitely be the C320. Whoever told you that you the C320 chops fuel didn't know what he's saying or may be the one he saw has an unattended issue.

Customs are in Gombe going from one car sellers to another to check the their payment. Even between Bauchi and Jos custom officers there. So the north is not safe for one buying cars without custom papers. So is better one get careful when buying any car.

One should be very very careful. Ensure all papers are duly verified before purchase or else sorry is going to be the case when you jam Dem.

Hahaha, just came back from Maiduguri last month. Got to Abuja 11 hours later and after countless military/JTF check points, encountered not more than 2 customs checkpoints (none requested for paperwork). Car is relatively new (toks), plate number dey shine anyhow grin

Try that same journey from Abuja to Calabar or Lagos grin grin

It would have been better they requested ooo so you can be sure that all is well. I have experienced customs wahala when i dey do car business with regular purchase in Cotonou. Customs are notorious than Police ooo. I don sleep for Ofosu before Benin if coming from Lagos. I spent 3 days with them looking like a mad man the 3rd day and ended up paying to get my car out.

And na because i Sabi one custom man then ooo. So i don't take chances with Customs. It is better vehicle is underpaid than having fake customs paper. Many of those vehicle for North dey cheap but customs paper dey get wahala

The location though...one has to check and confirm the customs papers, that the right duty was paid. If not, anyone buying and intends driving it from the North to South without checking this, will be taking a risk.

What religion does JW practice? Islam, Buddhist, Atheist all have separate beliefs as they are classed as separate religion.

Except JW isn't under Christianity as a religion then i can understand.

They are the biggest pretenders and hypocrites.
Most of them are not dedicated Jws while the dedicated ones are "living in bondage".
A JW lady isn't permitted to mak love to her JW fiance before wedding night even after introduction but can bleep a non JW.
Very confused set of people if you ask me

Their greatest trade mark is hypocrisy. I've had dealings with them. They also don't marry outside their faith it must be their fellow JW or condition to marry must be that he/she must convert to their faith.

You are the ones living in a bubble. You don't even know your cars. Unfortunately. And one of you races those who aren't even racing with him.
On a straight line, no c320 will beat big for nothing v6 Camry (both in the same mechanical state) in a 0-60 sprint. Take that to the bank. Don't even bring Honda or Nissan to the mix. It will be too embarrassing.
Enjoy your Benz peacefully.
Like I said leave the sprinting and stunting to the jap shitboxes. cheesy

C class is to be compared to Corolla since you mentioned Camry. E class vs Camry should be it.

Don't kid yourself. Without traditional marriage, no one in ur village will recognize your union. So let it be court and traditional.

I don't know y d Europeans had to force white weddings down our throats undecided

They didn't force, Africans and in this case Nigerians love copying anything done by them. Was it the Europeans that forced Baby shower on us and others being practised today? There are many (myself inclusive) that doesn't support white abi church wedding.

What ought to be practised here should be ONLY traditional marriage and then court just for legality and nothing more. But you will see many out there after fulfilling traditional marriage, will go ahead with white wedding and finally court.

Well, their own cup of tea

Hi guys, u people here are my e-family when it comes to car matters.

I made the biggest mistake of my life by trusting a 32-year old mechanic with my car key.

I need to bring ds out, maybe I could get help or advice on the next step to take and this would be a lesson to many as well.

My friend had his wedding last month, he needed to use my car, so I was to drive himself and the wife back to Ibadan from Lagos.

Drive to Lagos from Ibadan was perfect. On Saturday evening, when we were done with wedding after all the guests had left the venue, the new couple, myself and another friend got into the car to leave for Ibadan, dt was how ignition refused to start, I tried everything, car wasn't cranking, I opened bonnet, touched the battery, car started and then we left for our hotel rooms to get our stuff and prepare for the journey back to Ibadan.

On getting back to the car, i tried starting again, it didn't start, I was confused, it was getting late, retightened the battery terminals but, No, it didn't work o, ba3 was very ok, there was no mechanic around to help check it. We tried jumpstarting, still didn't work.

One of us sha placed hand on one of some hoses around engine area, I tried it again and it worked, dt was how we got into the car and left Lagos. All through the journey, car drove very fine and smooth, I did 170km at some point sef, it was a smooth ride to Ibadan, my friend alighted but I didn't put off engine, he left and we proceeded to my friend's house but on our way, he decided to get Baygon at a supermarket. I had to put engine off, we tried starting again, nd ds time it took almost 2hrs of trial and error, car refused to start, we eventually had to leave it there that Saturday night nd went home.

Long story short, I called the mechanic guy who helped work on the suspension parts the previous week to come have it checked, he said car would start dt it was a fuse problem, apparently, fuel wasn't supplying to the engine nd I had almost a full tank. I didnt know how he did it. He opened the back seat, connected some wires and car started fine. He said to me that, a rewire would have to work on it the following day which was a Monday, I told him to let us take the car home but he insisted on taking it to his workshop so rewire can easily work on it b4 I get there the next day as I was meant to travel back to my base nd then, he made me believe it wont be safe for me to drive the car with the kinda quick-fix connections he did, so I obliged him.

I followed him to the workshop and saw him Park my car with no issues, I went back home.
Got there the following day for my car and got the most shocking news of my life, my car had gotten in accident, an head on collision with a stationary Jetta.

The bastard took my car out in the night to a club/bar, got drunk and got in an accident dt rendered the front end badly damaged. According to the Police officer who towed the car to the nearby station, it happened around 10pm Sunday night.

Case is in Court, next Court meeting is on November 8th, nothing has been done about my car, the guy has been bailed to move freely since he met the bail criteria.

I am the one suffering for everything as I have no other car to drive to work, I can't even attend functions, I don't know what to do? Can I get people to buy the car in that condition, add money and get another one, even if its the common Corolla, or I should let them fix it like they have been begging me to, they said dey have been able to raise a little above 200k and they have 300k to 400k budgetted to fix the car.

What do I do?

Cc Radautoworks, Gazzuzz, Nwanneni, Logobenz3, Eddee, Smartchoiice, Kingreign, Weyreypey, HeavenlyBang, Nurey, etc etc..

U all knew when I got the car in February. Make una advice me biko, I'll post pictures soon.

I wish I did comprehensive insurance like Gazzuzz advised.

If you haven't done yours, it's not too late.


Collect whatever you can collect for the repairs but i wouldn't advise you fix the car after collection but sell as it's and get yourself a new car.

Again, "common Corolla". If the Corolla seems common to you why are you considering getting yourself one now that you have a tight budget? Atleast that same "common Corolla" if you have it as a spare, it should conveniently take you from point A to B without stress.

Finally, a comprehensive insurance would have addressed this. Sorry for your loss

What does kola do?I think I need sacks of it. Today is the earliest I left the shop all week. It's like all of Lagos crashed us this week. They came from everywhere! One drove 3 hours to get to us...

Bitter kola has a lot benefits(you can Google it up). I chew that whenever i have voice/cough issues with a tablespoon of natural honey.

There are days like that ma'am. The most important thing is customers being satisfied at the end of the day. More strength to carry on.

Couldn't accept this car today. About 50 DTCs in all systems, car wouldn't pull and had to use generic settings, it was 7 hours for a teardown of the transmission and we didn't think it was the transmission anyway. We think impact messed up multiple computers and also electronic issues. Another purchase by a buyer without previous inspection..
