Car Talk / Re: Is The Rover Car Market In Nigeria Lucrative ? by showbobo(m): 3:23am On May 25, 2010
Siena:

Rover 600 series is the only model I would advice anyone to buy in Nigeria.

The 600 series all run Honda engines and transmission, with the exception of the 620Ti, (Rover T-series) which was a turbocharged 2,0 16V Rover K-series engine, and the sluggish (and thankfully rare) Rover 2,0 diesel.

As per parts, parts are as common as those for the similar year Honda Accord, which was mechanically similar to the Rover 600, and shared pretty much all body panels, bar the bootlid, rear bumper, bonnet, front bumper, as well as lights both ends.

The Rover 45, is pure Rover K-series, and one to avoid, unless you're handy with the spanners, and have a good source of spares. The cylinder heads on all K-series Rover engines is the weak point. Once they blow head gaskets, the cylinder heads are seldom any use, even once fitted with a new gasket, and the surface skimmed, they will still leak, and boil the coolant. If you're unlucky, the cylinder block will be dead too! I've lost count of the K-series engines I've worked upon - either in terms of expensive rebuilds, or outright replacement.

My choices for use / sale in Nigeria?

Rover 618 1,8 16V (Honda unit).
Rover 620 2,0 16V (Honda unit).
Rover 623 2,3 16V (Honda unit).

Avoid the 45 - all were Rover K-series, and one of the most unreliable engines ever resided within the externally attractive bodyshell.


Always On Point. . . . . I believe in you smiley

For the Front page tag, Its Valencia CF not Valencia FC.

Spanish clubs use Club de Fútbol and not football club

Maybe He was writing in English and not Spanish. They are still a Football Club so FC can be used.

Autos / Re: PT Consult alleged to be Fraudulent by showbobo(m): 11:34pm On May 19, 2010
cooldudeng:

It's very sad to know that people like PT Consult still exist in here, a dump move I must say. I’ve always been a fan of the Auto Section and by God's grace come June my car will arrived from the United States under this same pre-order arrangement, there are still trusted dealers in the house. With that said, I still don't want to be believe it’s  difficult tracking PT Consult since our local banks were involved. All that is needed is the evidence of the transactions, a law enforcement agency like EFCC gets a court order requesting for the account details of the alleged fraudster which the bank can't not refuse to honour according to Bank and other financial Institution Act “BOFIA” the bank has a right to disclose. If the alledge fraudster can't then be reached with the details provided the Bank becomes liable since that's what KYC is all about (Know you customer)

The question remains if the affected parties are ready to retrieve their funds because involving the EFCC is not rocket science. There is an EFCC office at Ikoyi to start with, where complaints can be made.

You've Spoken Well. . . . . .

All i asked for was assistance from fellow NLs, But it seems some people are only trying to find a cause for the thread to be ignored, Onwan, if you really want to take it up for me like you said, I'd appreciate it,

And think with the account details, something can be done or what do you say?,

I actually did a little PI thing and i discovered something huge that WILL work if we follow up. . . You can buzz me on YIM so i'll brief you.

This is a lovely idea; however, it's not yet official.   We can make it a unenforced recommendation.
I guess its up to you when you want to make it official/enforced. . .Its your site at stake

I've been a verified dealer since 2007 on this site, met a lot of nice nairalanders in person, and some very naughty ones e.g. Inspired, showbobo etc grin

On a serious note, this has been long needed.
hehehe, GOD dey grin


Also buyers should be able to leave a feedback rating and some top/clean dealers like Viperman,Inspired,Fhemmy can carry a star in front of their usernames and tagged as POWER SELLERS cos they"ve been sorta impeccable over the years

poosh:

whats the least price and hope you are for real oh abi you be 419
undecided
Last price is 1.5m. . . .call me if u're really interested and not a timewaster
ademlabi:

     I have inspected this particular suv and i can tell that the ride is very clean in and out and it comes with auxiliary gear which is a plus.His asking price is 1.7m but fairly negotiable if you are seriously interested in it.You can see the pictures and vehicle information he has provided so it is not 419 sir.Contact Shobo for more information.x
Thanks brother. . . Real buyers will definitely contact seller and not make flimsy assumptions
Autos / Re: Tokunbo Golf 4 For =n=550,000? by showbobo(m): 2:37am On Apr 30, 2010
This might be a naija used car and the seller is tryna sell as a tokunbo after ravaging the car. . . . .

Also,confirm the VIN on the car. . . .

The person might be trying to pull a cheap scam afterall by offering something thats not existing. . . .

Oliser is the man
Okocha is the woman and betrayal,he betrayed Taribo west,Oliseh,Finidi,Agali and co before 2002 world cup.he is too greddy and snub,Okocha never respond to the greting from young players in the camp.African footballer of the year that the likes Ikpeba,rashidi,Kanoute,Diouf,Drogba won was deny him upon all his talent? even at a point Christian Chukwu the super eagle coach did not vote for him.God nodey sleep.Okocha is just talented but not a good man period.

Guy, you're a big fool for making that statement also i don't think you know anything about football, Imagine calling Okocha a betrayer also greedy and snub,when you use to cheer him up while playing for his club and country, You betrayed yourself
