Car TalkRe: What's Full Option? by snipesdam(op): 6:38am On Nov 03, 2016
Whizpeter:
'Full Option' is a term used by car dealers to refer to vehicles that contain all the possible features and gadgets that are available to that particular model of the vehicle!

It is actually the highest trim or version of a particular vehicle model offered by the manufacturer... It could contain upgrades, tunings, gadgets, enhancements etc!

For Toyotas, there's XLE, XLS et al!


To understand the concept of full option better, lemme explain using the smartphones industry!

For iPhones, there's an iPhone 5, iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s.. iPhone 5 is the base model while iPhone 5s could be referred to as full option

Tecno Phantom 6 is a base model, the phantom 6 plus is full option!!


OP hope I didn't confuse you sha!!?? cheesy grin
Whizpeter you try shaa you didn't confuse me.
Car TalkWhat's Full Option? by snipesdam(op): 9:17pm On Nov 02, 2016
When a particular car model is designed, we have different types of same models having different accessories/mechanical parts that's not in the others.

Now how would you say this car is full option?

All professionals here please come and enlighten us.

According to quora.com
A full option car means that the car have every single available feature (things like navigation or a technology package, driver assistance package etc.) added to it. Some call it fully loaded as it ends up being the most expensive version of the car that you can buy.

Car TalkHow To Spot An Altered Manufacture Date On A Tyre by snipesdam(op): 7:59pm On Nov 01, 2016
HOW TO SPOT AN ALTERED MANUFACTURE DATE ON A TYRE

There are some people in the market who know how to engrave a tyre. They engrave a "FAKE DATE" on the sidewall of the tyre. They achieve this by heating up a specially constructed iron rod (with numbers) and altering the MANUFACTURE YEAR on older tyres. For example, a tyre that has manufacture date 0312 (3rd week of 2012) could become 0316 (3rd week of 2016) after alteration. It is very difficult to spot this alteration (These guys are that "good"wink.

HOW TO SPOT AN ALTERED MANUFACTURE DATE

Tyre dates are either embossed or debossed (stamped) by the manufacturer. When the date is embossed, you can use METHOD 1 to spot a fake date. However, when the date is debossed (stamped), you can spot a fake date by using METHOD 2.

METHOD 1: FOR EMBOSSED DATE

You can spot an altered manufacture date on a tyre by taking a closer look at the manufacture date. For example, if the manufacture date is "0316" (3rd week of 2016) and you notice that "031" is embossed, while "6" is debossed, just know that the manufacture date has been tampered with. These shady tyre dealers cannot create embossed "FAKE DATES" (at least for now). They can only create debossed dates by stamping. Though, some can go as far as erasing the date completely and writing a new one.

METHOD 2: FOR DEBOSSED DATE

Tyre dates are either embossed or debossed (stamped) by the manufacturer. When the date is embossed, you can use the above method to spot a fake one. However, when the date is debossed (stamped), you can spot a fake date by looking at the last digit in the date. For example if the debossed (stamped) date is "0316", you should take a closer look at "6" to check if it's as clear as the other digits "031". You should also check whether "6" is perfectly aligned (in a straight line) and of the same font size with the other digits "031".

Your best bet is to buy a popular brand from a trusted tyre dealer (preferably online). This is because most online tyre retailers get their tyres from authorised distributors who themselves get the tyres from the manufacturers, and not from parallel imports. You should also beware of online sites operated by shady tyre dealers.

FamilyRe: How Can One Recover Borrowed Money From An In-Law? by snipesdam(m): 10:51am On Oct 31, 2016
NickUwaifo:
Please I really need professional advice on this matter. My sisters husband borrowed N1m from my dad for a so called business that has failed. First of all we didn't know he had already made my sister borrow 500k from her office union stuff because he told her not to tell us and he will pay.

I think when matters got bad for him in the business he decided to meet my dad and borrowed another N1m from him begging him not to tell his wife (my sister about it).

It is over a year now and he has refused to return the money to my dad who is an old man on pension and when he had no choice but to tell my sister, she became really upset because she is also in dept because of him. He kept saying that he has a trailer he imported and was looking for a buyer so that he can pay back the money but my sister has now confirmed that he doesn't have anything like that.

Please help with your advice on how my dad can recover his money back.
This is strong ooo... Pray and ask God for wisdom to tackle this issue.

Very possible. If you need to service your fuel injectors. The use of fuel injectors ultrasonic bathing is the best way to clean up your fuel injectors. Call multi autolab for this service on 08156087872 or 08165520837
All your ideas are okay... But please don't presume for sure that my injectors are failing, Because they are not neither will i tolerate someone loosening them to check. Other factors could cause the mileage loss which is a bit different from the manufacturer's design.

My engine is suppose to give me 8 litres per 100 kilometres.

Last i did the calculation its was 10 litres per 100 kilometres.

I had a very dirty air-cleaner which i replaced and injector cleaner mixed with a full tank.

Since Saturday of doing this i have noticed a difference.

All the same contact which you provide is in Lagos am PortHarcourt.

Don't waste your money to buy any injector cleaner until u have actually ascertain the reason behind the high fuel consumption.
Take your car to a competent technician that run test with autodiagnotics tools and can perform analyses based on the the result of the test .
I diagnosed my car today... Everything checks out OK... So I bought/Replacement air cleaner and fueled up my tank mixed with injector cleaner...

Taken note of ODO.

Am going to drive it till goes amber, I'll do the calculations and I'll get back to you guys.

Bros person no fit play with you again? I love my life... If you like install a jet engine to your car and hit 200knots... Not my problem.

Just apply caution when pressing that pedal cause you have people waiting for you @home.

Last weekend @ Imo River Oyigbo LGA part of portharcourt, a hunter who taps palmwine was checking his traps when this reptile tried to lay ambush to his dog and was gutted by the Hunter.

Later that day, most of the tipper drivers and sand diggers where smiling as they enjoyed with pots of pepper soup and palm wine.

PhonesRe: A Closer Look At The Gionee S6s - What's Your Take? by snipesdam(m): 6:44am On Sep 19, 2016
I think some Nigerians tend to use phone like smart phones like 3310. You expect it to be stronger and battery to last one week. They way you handle these fragile devices matters a lot even the way you charge the battery...

Example My InnJoo Two...

I charge it once a day to 100%, then it take me all day long on normal usage with playing battery draining games. When it gets to 20% or less I recharge...

Also the manner in which remove the USB from the port vigorously... that damages the USB with time...

Using stupid unwanted apps that drain battery... Launchers, Battery savers, some other unnecessary stuff...

Also using the recommended charger... Note the output you charger 5v 2.0A or 5v 1.8A etc

These determines the life span of your phones..
