Officially, to renew the documents of your car, you will have to do it yourself. The government is allowing fraudulent activities in the sector. Roadworthy certificate is supposed to be done by physically bringing your car to the center. But because of proxies like you, they only collect the money and expect you to come back within 30 days for the test. If one is busy to bring his car for inspection, is it after collecting the certificate that he will now bring the car for inspection? Either way, the mot is fake because the purpose has been defeated. The insurance certificate being given by proxy is another problem. I recently intervened in an accident between two people. They both had genuine insurance policies but the information on the hiace bus was misleading. It stated that the hiace bus is an SUV and even though the color was white, it was stated as yellow meadow. I remember a range rover that had brown as color in the policy while it was actually black color physically. These and many more are the reasons why proxies are not the right way to go. Corruption is endemic but while we condemn the leaders, we make a living out of it by our acts. Allow motorists to obey the laws and let them subject themselves to the physical computerized inspections .

For tyres not to be good for your road that must mean the road are constructed to suit a certain range of tyre specifications. (Let's not go into B.S codes and it's practical application)

Before you kill the guy's hustle, can you explain further how tyres (a type of complex rubber rasin polymer) can be bad for asphalt (a type of concrete but with bituminous binder rather than cement)?

Or do you mean the other way round?

I learn everyday so am very interested in hearing the explanation to your hypothesis?

I am not against his hustling but he should be knowledgeable in tyres to be able to educate us. The last picture shown does not look like summer tyres. Nigeria needs summer tyres at all times. There are a lot of tyres coming from the US that are all season tyres, a little to the left and a little to the right. Most of the tyres are speed restricted and so you find tyres with S speed ratings and temperature b. For a tyre to survive in the country, it must be temperature a without which the motorist is taking suicidal chances. He cannot now sell tyres to those asking without asking for the type of vehicle that needs the tyres. If it's a BMW, he does not know and therefore should ask and therefore propose to the buyer the type of tyres that will fit their car. Let him take pictures of the tyres showing the speed ratings and temperature rating of the tyres . Let's forget for now the date the tyre was made because that's another issue altogether. Let him tell us with pictorial evidence the speed and temperature ratings of the tyres that he wants to sell to the public.

The last photo, are they winter tyres? You are not even asking them for the type of car that they want to use it for. Are these tyres temperature a or b or c tyres? Let us help our roads and destroy these tyres if they are not good for our roads

Nice one bro, I’m sure you love Abuja airport road. That road is so standard, that it’s very sad thinking why all highways across Naija can’t be that way.

Lekki toll highway is just the epitome of corruption bro, like mad sickening corruption.

To think that the road generates nothing short of a billion Naira every month and they can’t even standardize the minuscule 15km road, it’s just sad.

The lanes have all washed away, when you’re driving at night, the whole place will just be dark, short of a few stretches close to the tolling point.

We have very evil leaders across Nigeria bro, demons in human skin.

How can third mainland that is free be fresher than a 15km road that generates over 1 billion every single month? Doesn’t make any logical sense, but then most things in Nigeria don’t.

I just tire for naija true. Go to yankee and both the toll road and it’s alternativ will be fresh. In fact, in yankee, the major reason for a toll road that I’ve seen, is a way to decrease the distance travelled, like how ikoyi link bridge decreases the distance travelled from Lekki to Ikoyi.

These guys just added one extra lane to the already existing road and started tolling, after using area boys to drive away protesters. Okay now that you have been successful in tolling, you can’t even put lanes on the road? Or make sure the road is fresh

Abeg bro, enjoy Abuja highways!!

It was supposed to be 49kms to epe. Since 2006, they have been constructing the road. By our concession laws, you must finish the road before you start tolling but greed and might is at play. They used RRS and Area boys to beat protesters and then 13yrs on the road, it is not near Epe.

AntiWailer:
Rubbish.

Just ensure all the toll gates are used at all times.

Those chronic idiots at times open just 3 while the others will be X.

I am getting irritated with all these rubbish activities without any direction.

How will declaring Thursday toll free help u analyze. Are u guys crazy ?

Ensure all the darn toll gates are functional or they remove the toll gates.

I av seen rush hour that only 3 was working and 2 are exact fare.

You are right. It happened as you described and I went to the exact fare gate and gate man refused to collect 500 Naira and shut his gate. I rolled up my window and rolled down my seat and relaxed. After 5 minutes, the guy behind me came down and offered to pay for both of us. The gatemen have devised a way of not giving receipts after collecting money.

Beremx:
Can't remember the last time I saw a BMW car on Nigerian roads.

Team Toyota.

Very correct. They are parked in the house of the owners or at mechanic workshops. The funny thing is that they are not tropicalised for Nigeria despite the bragging rights of coscharis. Our fuel is the number one problem and that is the only problem with the car

I have never heard of anyone complaining about the fuel consumption on a range rover before

erico2k2:
Yes, cos they are all SUV by default. It shares the best part of German Engineering and British Engineering.

Tell them o

How much is the balloon of 2012 Range Rover sport
All fours

400k, and with sensor 300k for front and 200k both rear. Mind you, if the left balloon is bad, you only change the left. And in most cases, the rear balloon never go bad. As for the legal jazz, even police with gun dey fear bini people. Make I nor scare you too much

I go call HRH on top sooperrescue o

Let's be honest
Is Land Rover more reliable and cheaper to maintain than Mercedes Benz?

No and yes. I remember when I was fixing Benz in Abuja that the issues were very different from that of the range rover . In Abuja, it's the big men that uses Benz and so paying 600k to service the vgs of a cls 550 is a better option than taking it to Capital motors that will change the gear. For a Range Rover, less than 60k and the gear is back. That cylinder misfires that damages the catalyst is the major problem with Benz. And the worst part is the Amg brand. It requires a higher grade of premium fuel than other regular Benz.
Range is cheaper to maintain than Mercedes in the long run.. E550 waiting patiently for the four balloons is shown in the image

Lexusgs430:
Well, till all the electrics and sensors starts to fail............

It starts with cylinder misfire and they will change the plugs, later coils and then nozzles and later oxygen sensors and then the VGS will fail and the gear will enter limp mode and front and rear sam go begin dey complain and when you pass flood, gateway will give up the ghost and rewire will be invited to stop the fan from whining and from there, the owner go park am to rest small before he continues the jamboree. Mercedes Benz since 18th century, giving Nigerians blues

Kewtt:
It is very intriguing considering the maintenance costs of the Range Rover that sooperrescue works on. Personally I think it's madness driving the Range Rover cars in Nigeria.

There is a big difference between a car that recommends premium gasoline and a car that requires premium gasoline fuel only. Read the effect of using lower octane fuel on the engine of a car that requires premium fuel. Acura owners know what they are going through in the hands of our fuel ditto Vw and BMW. Only the range rover is still on the road managing the fuel.

mammanbawa:
Somebody once said
If you can't buy two units
You can't afford it
Cut your cost according to your size
Your perception about w123 and 124 is quite exaggerated and wrong
They're the most reliable benz models on the road
We still have one in our garage and it's not struggling to breath
I never heard of anyone looking for w123 engine also
That's why they're so cheap till date
Cos of lack of demand

In 2000, the engine for vboot was 120k and I know a lot of people who bought engines multiple times before they abandoned the car. Curious, what is it doing in the garage?

HeavenlyBang:
You're replying a well-known idiot.

I traveled out before and just returned and I was noticing him for the first time . Thanks for the info

Kewtt:
An intellectually disabled post.... You just pick the S klasse and start yarning nonsense. Not all S klasse are balloons.... And why buy a Benz if you are intellectually disabled enough or poverty stricken beyond been able to do basic maintenance or buy original replacement parts?

Check your priorities bro..... Check your priorities.

Intellectually disabled. hmm sweet english and because you cannot comprehend, you start railing. E class is what was mentioned here with the specific year and if E turns to S when you are reading, you know where to turn to for help. I am sticking with my Range Rovers true true and if I want to do benz, it will be those that will pay well. S,E classes. Arguments for and against, you cannot present any.

Hoodbilonia:
Well one thing i know abt benz
Parts are twins
Parts are always in thousands
Let air suspension cast... u go hail
Benz in naija is a sign of show off
I have arrived. Forgetting its copart.
Benz benz benz. People dey run from benz abroad
Its either toyota,lexus or honda
Jah pah
Jah pah
Jah pah go london
Jah pan
Japan ti take over

Did u hear that rap by banks.
Beema,benz or bentley

I must open a benz auto shop soon
Benz only

Bia, hold yourself o. When I dey plan to switch, naim you want to crowd the market. Benz auto shop ke.

The 4 balloons of a 2010 e550 cost 1.2m. That is what makes it special. As common as w123 was, as per repairs, everybody were still buying engines for the car. Air filters for the vboot series in majority of the vehicles were mostly found in the boot, The car was struggling to breathe. I know a lot of people who took 6 months to raise money for balloons and afterwards sell off the damn shit for their peace of mind. It is the only car that you cannot change a balloon, you must change both. And the fuel is out of the country, 85% of the Benz in Nigeria are battling with sludge and the owners are easily misled by the Mobil 1 sticker and therefore use the petrol and diesel variant instead of the gasoline only. Mercedes Benz has no business being driven in Nigeria. All these yuppie guys buying them are working for our (Mechanics) benefit. It is on top of the car we will roof our houses. The parts sellers that will sell fake ATF as Star, sells any plugs so long they are Star not minding the fact that an S class cannot use the same plugs with a B class. So what makes Benz special to the owners? The cost of owning one and maintaining it to be on the road has removed the pleasure of enjoying the thrills of driving a Benz on cruise control at 200km per hour on a beautiful highway.

Marpol:
Thanks for the update.

it does not crack but it pulls out from the windshield and the speed clock goes blank especially in the middle of the screen. Sun matter

Marpol:
Hi, my wife loves the Range Rover Sport. What year is the most reliable to buy?

2010 model.

banky3w:
OP has gone AWOL....... Dangote premium fuel will be sold at N418/l. Las Las, Na octane boosters una go still dey use.....

The struggle continues. By 2021, we will still be using octane booster especially for the cars that are euro 6 and our old cars would have perished for all the years they have been using regular unleaded.

chukel:
come, make we source am

I dey your back.

diportivo:
I have

with katalysator sef

Call me na make I see the car. Let me know the price. Toks

erico2k2:
Euro 5 ke? we are already in Euro 6 in the Uk, that RRS I brought to 9ja is Euro 6.all those 2012 are Euro 6 and this new Emission thing in central London targets cars which are not Euro 6 complaint.

That's what he intends to produce and he has collected interest free loans from the cbn. The government acted as guarantor for the project. US gave him 999m to train workers and he keeps shifting resumption dates and for all this, na euro 5 he want to produce. Since then I left him to his Devices

obekediamondfuto:
and some countries are already thinking of completely doing away with these fuels.... we on the other hand, are struggling to produce an already obsolete fuel, in the future. I mean, how backward can we get?

That's why I said that he is a scam. Euro 5 fuel to be produced by a 650k barrel refinery in 2021? He will get the crude oil for cheap and produce 50k barrels and export the rest for profit.

bamikole2012:
Weldone sir, please i my dad uses a 2008 ml350 4matic, was told by my tech guy that i need to change its automatic transmission oil, please suggest best oils i can use order than benz oem

Star 134 or look for 8 speed gear oil. It's difficult to find but look for it else the gear will go. Try also pure guard from jumia and ask them if the one that they have has Nag 2 specifications

dumo1:
And here i thought that the new dangote refinery was gonna produce premium fuel for us or at least closer enough to premium quality fuel.

Yes, his refinery will produce Euro 5 fuel by 2021 and all the current cars since 2016 are using euro 6. Even corolla is 6, so if my 2006 RRs reach 2021 before e begin use premium unleaded, the car fit don kaput. Then these 2016 cars that have been using euro 4 all this time would have been gone by 2021 due to bad fuel and useless engine oil. Dangote is a scam. For that amount of money being used to build the refinery, there must be a good r and d department that will analyze the market and provide the fuel that will be suitable for the country in the future. The current fuel now is euro 6 and he will produce euro 5 in 2021. Those wey dey buy land for ibeju lekki have not visited warri refinery to see if there are any advantages living near the refinery.

LeJeun3:


Him use am buy land for Ibeju Lekki....

For me to buy land there, I will rather return back to Benin my country. If it is Ikoyi, yes but that yonder is not my goal right now

lade007:
thanks for the mention bro... I surely got him covered. We still have a few of them around here

When can I see it?

dumo1:
Oga sooperrescue wetin do your Range Rover nah?

E dey kampe. I just need a car. Since 2011, been driving RR and I want to drive a good car. Can't be enslaved to octane booster for eternity.

erico2k2:
You won't see it that price abroad,landing price will be above N2m, this is deff, One of the reason one must look after them Engines

Let him be talking about engine for 1.5m. All na wash.
