Thanks boss, I'll check and report back to u when I get home next week sir... But it's 6 faults in total that it shows but I cant say precisely what the faults are now.

You are welcome

That pus*y must have a high mileage considering the way it looks I think its retiring well.

Thank u very much, av been asking this question for long and no one answered me... I really appreciate. But sir, the person I want to get it from said some thing that the motor is given as fault on the dash board area, he said is not as issue that if it's a threat, it will show it in red and not yellow... How true is this?

If you are buying a used car have it in mind that you will have to fix some things to ur taste, I don't know how much u know about Benz.
If its showing ESP..... It can be corrected by a simple alignment or a more expensive repair which will involve replacing the ESP module, steering angle sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, e.t.c
Same with ABS,BAS and SRS.
A simple fault like a burnt bulb will also display on the cluster as a fault.
Check that the radiator fan is not always on and on high speed whenever the engine is running..... This repair can involve changing the ECU(brainbox) or as simple as replacing a burnt fuse.

For me once I like a car, I buy it.
I don't mind even if its towed.
Goodluck.

Before August 9, 1965, the Singaporeans were seen as an irritation in Malaysia. Then Singapore was one of the 14 states of Malaysia. Singaporeans were viewed as arrogant, stubborn, and domineering. While the United Malays National Organisation wanted affirmative action or “quota system” for the Malays, the People's Action Party of the Singaporeans insisted that the best thing for the country was a merit-based policy on all issues, so as to bring out the best in the nation and create a spirit of excellence.

This constant disagreements and tensions resulted in racial riots. It got to a point, the Malays could take it no more. So on August 9, 1965 they convened the parliament, with no Singaporean parliamentarian present. At that sitting, the legislators voted unanimously (126 - 0) to expel Singapore from Malaysia.

When the Singaporeans heard that they had been expelled from the nation, at first they were devastated. But they took their fate in the hands and started building a new nation. And indeed, by applying merit and the pursuit of excellence, Singaporeans built a country that moved from Third World to First World in record time, overtaking Malaysia in all ramifications.

Interestingly, despite this sad way of parting, Malaysia and Singapore have remained good neighbours. In spite of the success Singapore has recorded, it has not made Malaysia not to record its own success.

There are many similarities between the story of Singapore and Malaysia and Igbo and Nigeria. The Igbo are not happy with the quota system policy used in the admission into federal schools and federal positions. They want competitiveness in every sector, which will lead to the best being selected, for the sake of excellence.

The Igbo are seen as arrogant, noisy, domineering, greedy, over-ambitious, to mention but a few. Many Nigerians see them as irritants. They get killed frequently, especially in the North, at the least misunderstanding. Sometimes the cause of the provocation is someone from Denmark, Cameroon or another part of Nigeria.

There are many Nigerians who will easily tell you: “We will never allow an Igbo person to rule Nigeria.” There are many who believe that the problem of Nigeria is from the Igbo, and that once the Igbo are done away with, Nigeria’s problems will disappear.

Given this scenario, the Igbo want a true federal system that will make Nigeria look like what it was before 1966, with each state or region taking charge of most of its affairs and moving at its own pace. Sadly, anytime it mentions restructuring or true federalism, there are forces that resist it vehemently and insist that such will not be allowed.

Ironically, despite this view by many Nigerians about the Igbo, anytime any person or group from Igbo land asks that the Igbo be allowed to leave Nigeria to form their own country, the resistance from most Nigerians is fierce. This reaction creates a contradiction. If the Igbo are irritants and troublemakers, why not expel them from Nigeria the way Singaporeans were expelled from Malaysia? But if you see them as valuable and believe they must be part of the Nigerian state, why not treat them as equal partners in the union? What does Nigeria really want from the Igbo?

Recently news broke that the Department of State Services embarked on a recruitment exercise, with 165 recruited from the North-west. The report said that 51 people were recruited from Katsina State alone, the home state of President Muhammadu Buhari and the Director General of Department of State Security, Mr Lawal Daura, while the number of people recruited from the five states of the South-east was 44 and the number recruited from the six states of the South-south was 42.

Compare that with the academic performance of the different zones of Nigeria. The Unified Tertiary Matriculation Education of 2016 produced the following number of applicants from the six zones:

South-east (five states) = 335,883;
South-West (six states) = 320,691;
South-south (six states) = (299,632);
North-central (six states plus the FCT) = 259,846;
North-west (seven states) = 163,240;
North-east (six states) = 96,220;

The six states that produced the highest number of candidates were:
1. Imo – 104,383
2. Delta – 78,854
3. Anambra – 77,694
4. Osun – 72,752
5. Oyo – 72,298
6. Enugu – 69,381

The six states that produced the least number of candidates were:
31. Adamawa – 15,615
32. Jigawa – 12,664
33. Yobe – 10,045
34. Sokoto – 10,006
35. Kebbi – 8,947
36. Zamfara – 5,295

The states that were given a minimum of 130 cut-off mark out of 200 in the 2013 examination into the Unity Schools were:

Anambra – Male (139) Female (139)
Imo – Male (138) Female (138)
Enugu – Male (134) Female (134)
Lagos – Male (133) Female (133)
Delta – Male (131) Female (131)
Ogun – Male (131) Female (131)
Abia – Male (130) Female (130)

For the same examination, the states that were given cut-off marks of less than 50 were:

Borno – Male (45) Female (45)
Jigawa – Male (44) Female (44)
Bauchi – Male (35) Female (35)
Kebbi – Male (9) Female (20)
Sokoto – Male (9) Female (13)
Taraba – Male (3) Female (11)
Yobe – Male (2) Female (27)
Zamfara – Male (4) Female (2)

The six states that scored above 50 percent in the 2015 West African Senior School Certificate of Education were:

Abia (63.94%),
Anambra (61.18%),
Edo (61.05%),
Rivers (55.69%),
and Imo (52.49%).

The states that scored below 13 percent in the same examination were:

Kebbi (12.08%),
Katsina (10.81%),
Gombe (7.41%),
Jigawa (6.37%),
Zamfara (6.23%),
Yobe (4.37%).

These are verifiable results that have remained virtually the same for decades. And they give an idea of the number of candidates that are involved in education from each state and zone as well as their academic performance.

The point of this essay is not that it is only the Igbo that excel in many sectors. Other ethnic groups, especially from the South, also excel. But the focus of this essay is the Igbo. From the attitude of other ethnic groups, it seems that they are comfortable with the status quo. If not, they should not be focusing on the Igbo as their problem.

The call for restructuring of the country has been promoted as the solution to Nigeria’s problem. However, there are strong forces that are hell-bent on ensuring that restructuring of the country never succeeds. They have been erroneously schooled that restructuring will impoverish them.

The danger in this hard line against restructuring is that if restructuring fails, the alternative may not be palatable. Nigeria has moved in a self-destructive path for long. Nigeria has been wallowing in retrogression for long, because some stakeholders are afraid that pulling it out and setting it on the path of progress will cost them their feeding bottle. But nothing lasts forever.

Two weeks ago, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, met his seemingly impossible bail conditions within 48 hours. When the bail conditions were made public, the belief of many was that no serving Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria would want to associate with him. But the South-east caucus of the Senate met and quickly chose one of them to stand bail for him. All other conditions were also swiftly met.

If those conditions were given in December 2015, no Nigerian Senator would have wanted to be associated with Kanu. Since his coming into office, Buhari has continued to display a type of croynism and prebendalism that have never been witnessed in Nigeria. And the worst beneficiaries of these are the Igbo. He has been making it clear by his words and actions that the North and the Igbo are not equal partners in the Nigerian project. He has been distributing Nigerian resources and appointments to his kinsmen and region as if they are his personal property. This brazen nepotism has made even the fiercest Igbo critics of Kanu’s call for secession to develop sympathies.

She's trying to remind the cabal that Osibade n the dullard of daura have a joint ticket.

PapiSmith:
I keep my home tidy. The essence of the above topic is a test and not an habit you repeat everytime She visits. Do you know how to read typed sentences?

Bro, if you "pretend" to a girl that you are trying to woo that you are untidt ndirty, she will see you dat way; she does not know the the game you are playing or that you are trying to "test" her.
I don't think this is necessary, its counterproductive; be yourself let her see you for who you are.
Shalom

We have a long way to go in this part of the world.
What a pity.

PapiSmith:
Of Cuz you are not wife material, just a random girl with baby mama potentials.

Only a mad slow self esteem bastard will accept your garbage.

Airforce1 might me crazy sometimes but he made a solid point with the thread. Minus the showoff though

Don't say dat bro, A guy who is living in a littered house is a red flag to many girls
That you are a guy don't mean you should live in a filthy environment.
If u are comfortable in a dirty house....it speaks volumes of ur personality.
Any girl that is sensible will not like to visit the second time.
Keep ur home neat and tidy.
Can u ever imagine what she will tell her friends about you and the advice they will give to her?

When will the amount Buhari and his entourage are using to junket around the world be released?
How much is Nigeria paying for his "resting" in UK?
What is his medical bill?
What is his illness?
If you receive money for services not rendered you are a Thief.

Buhari is receiving money for resting in UK and not performing as President; He is a thief.

Wike always trashing the lizard of ubima back to back.
APC shame!

edupedia:
....until one day all u IPOBS move to Gabon and Equatorial Guinea...that will be extremely nice!...yeye people...

You worthless immigrant get off my mention.
Remove Igbos from Nigeria there will be nothing like national integration and Nigeria as a nation will be doomed.

nwabobo:
Did you read the following part at all?

However, the company secretary, Oranuba, said the agreement leading to the keeping of the petroleum product with Capital Oil, allowed “conversion and diversion of IT products by operators as long as the operator is prepared to re-deliver the products within seven days of demand by the owner of the product or to pay a penalty for non-re-delivery.”

According to him, failure to re-deliver did not amount to a crime but is a mere breach of contract, which can be remedied by payment of a penalty to the owner.

“The agreement expressly states that any penalty due for non-re-delivery is to be treated as a debt and I verily believe that law enforcement agencies are not allowed to operate as debt collectors,” he said.

They will never see the part you quoted, they are blinded by bigotry n nepotism that its affecting their brains

We all know that the DSS under the the dullard and BMC are instruments of blackmail,propaganda, oppression and smear campaign against the opposition.

This is a man that sold kerosene to poor Nigerians at N50/l while other marketers while selling for N150/l and today he is accused of economic sabotage?

They should continue sowing the seed of discord in this country.... Until one day.

When will they be removed from Abuja Roads?
The guys are demons.

It is a sign from God.

Please what is CTL?

Its a paid cable TV like dstv.
The show all EPL matches for N3,050 monthly.

i4 not v4
Happy sales

And the scam continues

Kewt:
Please heed your friend's advise. I have used both cars. The Kompressor is very problematic and makes you a regular visitor to mechanics while the V6 is way more smoother and better in all ramifications.

As for the guy rating a C230 2005/6 4plug Kompressor above a C230 2005/6 V6 engine....i smile in Swahili... Speed is mostly a function of the driver than the car. Besides, the said V6 car might have some hidden faults..

But on a very good day and all things been equal, the C230 V6 beats the C230 Kompressor hands down.

I don't think they will listen....u know everyone is passionate about their cars.
Its all about choices at the end.
For me I will prefer a naturally aspirated big engine than a tweaked small engine any time.
When ur charger fails, you are left stranded with a very disappointing small engine.
This is why you don't see S-class equipped with a supercharger aside one time that AMG experimented.

Did he say power has improved?

Na them

Following

Eyop:
The 3.2 is by far a bigger engine than the 2.5L and will definitely be faster than the kompressor 1.8L engine. Though there are are bigger engines equipped with the superchargers as well like the CLK320 Kompressor. But i know the 1.8L kompressor will seriously compete with the 3.2L if a good driver is on seat

Cool

Eyop:
I can't say for the 3.2L engine but for the 2006 C230 2.5L engine, the 1.8L engine kompressor is faster. That supercharger is a monster trust me and the delightful noise that comes with it, gives you a

Toh, I've not tested a kompressor to know if its faster or not but I know I've raced with them with my naturally aspirated V6 3.2 and they always bow.
Maybe if I handle a kompressor the story will be different.

I can't believe what I am seeing here.
How can a 1.8l engine be more powerful and faster than a 2.5l and 3.2l engine?

For me sha any engine less than 6 cylinders is no no I need power like fish need water.
Kompressors, superchargers, turbochargers are nothing more than manipulated small engines.

Same can be said for late marriages. Nothing is perfect.

For me I will pick late marriage over early marriage.
The human mind keeps evolving and changing over time, the things you like to do years ago you will no longer fancy.
I think people should have been able to define their personality before getting married. The type of partner you want to be with years ago will not be ur choice today.
The only joy in early marriage is having kids early at the same one will make mistakes raising those kids cos of immaturity and youthful exuberance.

Early marriage has its ups n downs
