sultaan: You definitely won't find it funny, but you have a working car have a Naija mechanic work on the electrical system is a really really bad idea.

I know it is your first cars but there are lots of better cars out there for you to be worried about thieves.

Thieves don't steal pink, purple or bright yellow cars because they are so obvious and will be noticed by everyone.

If you are looking for a honest advice dont mess with anything but if you have money to burn please ignore my jokes

sultaan: Then paint it pink or purple

0rex: You are welcome. I think purchase & installation should be about #7,000.

sultaan: The fact that you are driving a "little nissan sunny 1.4L 1993" is security enough.
Anyone crazy enough to snatch that is doing you a favor so you will get something better Amen

Right now robbers wont see that car even if its painted bright yellow.

I guess you now have an idea why no one responded.If you don't those exhaust fumes must have done a permanent damage

0rex: You can install the Watchdog Timer security system. It is the type you must press a hidden button after opening doors before you can start the car. It is fairly cheap.

Ikenna351: Then its safe. Nothing wrong with it.

Ikenna351: I don't understand. You mean while car is stationary and engine off?

Ikenna351: If your hydraulic controlled clutch system is really that hard to depress, then the culprit would be the clutch pressure plate, what Nigerians call Clutch disc.

I can't think of anyother component aside this, for now.

CityNG: I wrote a detailed post on my blog

But the short is that any android smartphone, iPhone or Blackberry Z10 will run this app. It's very easy to input your data and the reward is great as you can track your vehicles performance is of inclined.

CityNG: Please tell me that you were just joking?

tammyboy1: All gurls act diffrently,these are not 100% true

CityNG: Do you have a smartphone?

If so download this app Gas Cubby or similar app. Use it at every single fill up and it will reward you with your true cost of ownership which includes fill ups, tune ups and other maintenance.

I attached a screenshot of mine, on the period that I got 18.9mpg instead of the normal 25+ I knew I was driving a bit more spirited other wise I would have tried to figure out why.

Good luck.

Ikenna351: I answered one of the questions you asked, and not that I didnt answer the question.




If you must use your clutch or touch the clutch pedal while engine is running, you must depress the clutch pedal fully. I mean, the clutch pedal must touch the floor. Dpressing it half way would gradually damage the clutch pressure plate. And depending on the rpm, could also wear off/burn the clutch plate/disc faster. Your gearbox input spline may not like that as well.

GAZZUZZ: Easy method

Buy a full tank

Reset oddmeter to 0.0

Drive a 100km

Fill up your tank again. How many litres did you buy.

Standard for you car should be 13/14km to a litre highway driving

9/10km to a litre city driving.

So if after driving 100km it takes 10liters to fill up ur ok. 15 and above ur tank is either leaking or car is burning more fuel than usual.

I must add your driving pattern and traffic also play a very big part in determining fuel consumption.

silvoice: Holding d clutch down to d floor and holding it partially to avoid stalling, while stationary on hold up: which one wears d clutch out faster.

Ikenna351: What you do with the clutch pedal determines the longevity of the clutch components, not just the clutch plate.

For a start, dont hold that pedal down too long each time you depress it.

lonelydora: Please forget about what those business boys tell you about second hand tyres, buy a new tyre if want to have peace of mnd. Go for michelin if you can afford it.

Seun: If the rate is 10% (per annum), 1/4 of that or 25,000 naira will be your interest for 91 days, not 100,000. And at maturity you will get 1m.

Elai147: The interest is per annum. So you will have to divide the overall interest by 4 to get the interest for 91 days. 5 million naira will give you around 140 K for 91 days T-bills. It could be more or less depending on the stop rate for the auction.
