Good morning all, how has it been with the fuel pump price increase? Driving an 8 cylinders SUV currently requires tact. But no matter the condition of the jungle, the lion will never eat grass. Tips for overcoming obstacles to drive your car always: Service your car as at when due, check your tyres and fit same speed ratings, know the fuel consumption of your particular car by resetting the trip meter to zero when you buy fuel even if it is 20 litres. Get octane booster to reduce the consumption and continue to make the brand the envy of those wannabes.

Nice one
I married mine a virgin too

Tear leather sweet oo
Forever

I am jealous of you guys. The difference is like Lagos to Maiduguri. Like a new car and a naija used car. No Carfax report for new cars, no bill of lading. It matters to marry a virgin. The men are blessed. Let me behave like David and get married to a virgin 🤣😂🤣🤣

Btel will buy 10b naira airtime from the Telcos for 5k per second and then sell the same Airtime for 11k with all the documentations. It will work out fine if they don't sabotage it like MTN and GLO did with jammed calls in 2006.

The sins of Sanusi was more than this and he was never arrested. El rufai, all the emirs palaces were renovated with CBN funds and he was rewarded with emir position. Godwin is his name.

The one that is on France medicare system

All of them moved to France because majority of Nigerian doctors are in the UK and US and their incompetence will show up on them. Atiku as VP went abroad to bandage his hands that he injured. Small scratch wey chemist shop will fix for N800, he go abroad. One of my clients, after spending time in Nigerian hospitals decided to go to the US for treatment only for the doctors there to prescribe medication for him that cost less than 1k in Lagos. It is in our best interest that the doctors travel out for proper training. Coco Samba is a local product. If it came from the US, na $500 for one bottle and here it is very cheap and they said it is very effective.

Is wearing earring a sin?

Never a sin. Kumuyi took the bible portion where the people in the wilderness gave up their earrings to create the golden calf which became their object of worship. These churches are practicing the doctrine of men. If you want to attend a good church, look for the one where the pastor is not worshipped, where the wife is not pastor Mrs, where they don't have prayer points in the congregation and ask the Lord to lead you there.

I mean an land rover discovery

V8 is 2 gallons. Same thing

I appreciate you sir.


Do you have any for sale at the moment? And what's the price range ?

I forgot to respond. Please pardon me. I just checked the oil and my supplier says 40k per gallon

Hello Sooperescue

Please how much is the cost of servicing of a Land Rover Discovery 2008.

90k using Castrol extended performance 5w30, filters and labor

dru23:
34k each per 5quarts.....Mobil station goes for 40k and it will be hard to find 0w40 or 5w40 .

Happy Easter, any giveaway for your followers

It is a very good idea but with a wrong approach. Since 1999, the fraudulent system of the CMR where a receipt is issued for 1k and assigned to 10 cars with no results is still being perpetuated with the digital version. First of all, the IGP is the Chief Vehicle Inspection Officer of the federation and it is within it's powers to create such an outfit to stem the tide of theft. But how can you charge extra money when the fraudulent CMR is imbedded to the vehicle particulars cost. Going through the MVAA charges, the police is already given 1k in every number plate. So why this extra charge? How many states operate the CMR? Does the police have any records of vehicles registered in Nasarawa? Until the unit is put in every license office, it will just be another money making venture. The former IG Idris once declared that tinted permit is free but the synergy between the state and the police was greed infested and so the people are at their wits end. I can register a stolen car in Mushin which was registered in Ikeja and new number plate will be issued. Let us cut the formality and follow the rules. If the police and the Customs are not at every license office, the policy is definitely going to be another harassment for the motorists from the police

But some might still ask, if God had put man in charge of the world in the beginning and never the devil, how then did Satan become the leader of this world?

I already said in the previous thread that some leaders were appointed by men, some others by Satan, however I only gave instances of the latter, such as the Antichrist, but none of the former, hence I'm going to use this opportunity to do just that.

The same Satan I said would appoint the Antichrist as world leader, is himself is an appointee of man.

It was man that appointed Satan the prince of this world not God!

It was man that elected the devil to become his leader.

It was man chose Satan as his lord and king.

It was man that foolishly sold his leadership-right to the devil for just a bite of the forbidden fruit. Genesis 2:16-17, 3:6.

It was man who hence gave the power which God gave him over Earth to the devil.

That was how Satan came to have it because it was the same power God gave to man in the beginning, that the devil offered to Jesus when he tempted Him.

Luke 4:5-7 (KJV)

And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

Hence Satan now had the power God gave to man in the beginning and could give it to anyone he wants, just as man could give it to anyone he choose after God gave it to him.

Therefore God never intended for the devil to have all that power and glory He gave to man in the beginning, hence His utter disappointment with man after man had given it to the devil.

Hence His strong rebuke and even punishment of man for giving the devil that power and authority He intended for man to have over His creation and had given him after He had made man in the beginning. Genesis 3:11-19

Hence God doing whatever it took, even if it meant for Him to come down to the earth as man to pay the price so as to reclaim that power and authority He gave to man in the beginning from the devil.

Hence Jesus saying:

John 12:31-32 (KJV)

Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

That was how the devil was cast out from his leadership position, after God had paid the price to reclaim that power from the devil which He gave to man in the beginning.

Hence Jesus saying afterwards:

"All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." Matthew 28:18

Therefore God never rested until He had reclaimed that power and authority He gave man over His creation from Satan, because it was never His intention for the devil to have it in the first place.

If God gave the devil the power or installed him as the ruler of this world, why would He go through so much trouble to retrieve it and to cast the devil out?

If you still believe every leader, including the devil, was appointed by God, it then means your god is certainly not the One that created everything in the beginning, and appointed man as leader of them all, and then also did everything He possibly could to reclaim that power from the devil after man gave it to him, because that God would never appoint the devil as ruler over the world He'd made.

God bless.

You are very knowledgeable and I admire your intelligence but God never came down to reclaim the power. The Spirit came down from heaven upon the body of Jesus that even Satan was confused about it hence he was asking if Jesus was the Son of God. Jesus told the people that he came down from heaven and the people were angry saying that they know the family and why was he lying. Jesus humbled himself on the cross to become omnipresent hence he could say that I knock at the door of everyone's heart and whoever opens the door, he will come in to dwell. If he says that all Power has been given to him, that means there is someone who is greater than him and in 1Cor, we were told that after subduing the earth, he will hand over the kingdom to the father because God is the only one that is not subjected to his authority. By reading the epistles of Paul, his greetings always differentiate God the Father and then Our Lord Jesus Christ. In Rev 1.1 it states that the revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave to him and Jesus gave it to his angel to show it to his servant of the things to come.

that isn't what you get in benz

I have driven two benz I drove a C class and I drive a ML 4matic

Benz gear is designed that if anything happened to the gear such as low oil or broken sump ! The gear will enter the emergency mode and this mode means that the gear will not move more than gear 1 and the car will never speed even if you eev it highest ...it is a mechanism to protect the gear

You rarely see benz owners talking about buying new transmission. In short it is rare even in mechanics ! ...

That is why it is rare to see a benz owner changing gear unless it is flooded even if it was. My car has been flooded when I was driving C class..the flood in ikeja messed the C class up and swallowed the car yet the gear was still in tact

The car will be beeping until you fix the emergency mode

I have never had a problem with gear in benz for the past 10yrs I have been driving benz

Just like overheating...the ML can't overheat cos there is a sensor in the radiator that tells you when the water or coolant is very low and you need to top it ...even before the temperature goes up

My first car was a Japanese,very trashy car, since I have been driving benz I get rest of mind in short from last year till now I never visit mechanic apart from changing oil


But when I was driving Japanese ,my mech na my friend

For those Benz cars with ISM, they are the worst. If the VGS is dirty, that is where the scenario you described occurs but when the ISM fails, the car will be stuck till you remove the propeller to move the car away. If the shaft is out of place, the gear will never move even on gear 1. I know that these are mechanism to protect the gear but the stress involved is out of this world

kk2027:
Wike by working for Tinubu indirectly worked for Northern presidency

A sick old man from the south is a waste of southern turn

By trying to pepper Atiku, Wike and Tinubu are just trying to hand power to the north for free

You are very correct. It has been there all this while, taking back the presidency to the North but man proposes and God rules in the affairs of men

There is no harm in going up in oil specs. The harm is in going down.

Using synthetic in a modern vehicle that doesn't call for synthetic won't cause sludge.

I don't know why you get these facts all twisted all the time.

Other factors have contributed to this issue and not the oil.

It seems like you are fixated on something. Folks here once accused Dru23 of destroying his Kia Rio with his extended performance oil. Mobil 1 for Toyota Honda and Nissan was made for a reason. It is like a Toyota Corolla 06 using premium unleaded fuel. A lot of people were using Castrol edge extended performance 5w30 on a Toyota 06 when the same oil is recommended for a 2018 range Rover Evoque. Oil na oil team

AutoMoTech:
Hmmmm this is very interesting.
So wait... Engines came in looking clean no issues. But gets to Nigeria being used for e-hailing and boom the engine don crase again.
Shey na out weather ni abi wetin dey occur gan gan?
because I want to believe the oils used were imported Mobil 1 and they should have been good quality oils.
Would he interesting if we're able to narrow down the specific cause of this sludge build up.

The oil were way above what was recommended for Toyota. I remember that I told them that Toyota never recommended extended performance Mobil 1 but they were swayed away by the guys. So the reason was that the owners were using the wrong oil and it caused sludge

They are known for being reliable and they actually are. No one hypes them. They do not claim to be what they are not.

According to the site above, benz transmissions are good for 150k to 200k miles. After that, you are on your own. A vast majority of Toyotas and hondas on our roads today are way past these mileage and going strong. How many people can afford low mileage accident free toyotas?

Several have gone on to 500k miles on the same transmission.

Go and find out why transmissions are failing (perform proper investigations and diagnosis starting with the highlander trans you want to replace). I suggest you start with the writeup from Nurey. I am also here to help if you need me cos i can see research is not your thing.
Maybe, just maybe, you will open up a new market front for yourself.

I really don't get the whole toyota this toyota that. if toyota transmissions were that bad, they wouldn't score so high on the reliability index.

Let us not go to Benz because that is another problem without solution. I am not changing any Toyota gear but it is a question on my mind. I saw a 13 pin Sienna being converted into 10 pin and in doing that, a lot of things are taken out of the car and it will be like that till it finally dies. I have a 2014 Corolla South Africa type and it's been with me for over a year and my parts seller would not want to sell another gear to me because he said it will not work, unless I buy engine and gear together. That the SA and the US models are different. The aim of the thread is to find a solution. Nor be everything be money 🤑

LaSenior:
all this transporters using seinna doesn't use ATF anymore on their gearbox they used visco 2000 as transmission fluid I asked them they said because they cover more miles a week that the normal ATF oil can't stand the heat, I remember when I used oando ATF for my gear box just little distance it heated up the oil starts burning and smell then it gets dark so I had to change it to seahorse and ever since then there has been difference

This is the essence of the thread. Knowing what the people are going through. You used seahorse ATF and the problem stopped. So we are back to Visco 2000 that destroyed Honda baby boy gears of yore. Thanks for the info

ariesbull:
I know but Toyota fears have high tendency to spoil

Benz fear has protective mechanism called Emergency mode which Toyota doesn't ...Benz fear rarely spoil

Toyota is over hyped

We know that it is overhyped and it is giving us headache but are there no solutions ? Buying a a used gear box for a 2018 Highlander for 2.5m is scary. The said car is very clean and nothing was done on the body and yet the gear failed. What should be the advice for the owners? Any real experts for Toyota cars should help resolve this issue. Money is scarce and car repairs are low and no one is smiling.

agoodman:
ATF change is every 60k miles. I use 2008 Honda Accord and that's what is written in the manual.

When Castrol says 20000 miles guaranteed, you think that they are talking about Africa? How many of us has driven their cars for 50k miles in Nigeria?

https://www.toyotapaloalto.com/blog/how-often-should-you-replace-or-inspect-the-transmission-fluid-in-your-toyota-vehicle/


When they say 15k to 100k miles, chose the one suitable for your car

9icetoo:
ATF change every 15k miles

Where did you get this from?

Even Honda with very stringent ATF change interval does not recommend this.

Lie small small oga.

This your penchant for exaggeration and pulling facts out of thin air doesn't do you any good.

Inukwa 80%. Where did you conduct this ludicrous study?

I did the research and it is either 25k kms or the equivalent in miles. Cars made in the USA go through stringent regulations that it will be very difficult to make cars that are not fit for their market. Every 15k miles, for some motorists, they might never get to the mileage in 2 years and for the transporters, it can be before 6 months. Do a survey on the Sienna that has been changed from 13 to 10 pins, majority are commercial

KGD10:
It was the Awori who rehabilitated the Rhode slave ancestor, alongside other slave ancestors. Other regions such as the hateful South East didn't even rehabilitate them. But guess what? Chinedu Rhodes has got the nerves to insult Yoruba while living on Yoruba soil just because of the useless Ungrateful toxic Igbo cocumbine his dad had. The useless Ungrateful woman didn't train his child well. Since she trained him to be hateful towards the Yoruba, he and his mother should go to the southeast to go seek for political position there. You can't insult Yoruba while living on Yoruba soil! The nerves!

The Yoruba always say that a home that's got peace and harmony, the bastard has yet to develop. We know the bastard. Chinedu Rhodes who eventually disgraced his father!

Meanwhile, away from the untrained useless toxic Ipob terrorist chinedu child, Sanwo olu's track records both before and after he became a governor are unbeatable by anyone. He's currently the best governor in the country, thus there's no need for a change. All what the incompetent useless Chinedu knows is to insult Yoruba daily. Useless untrained child.

Also, those toxic useless Ipobs should go elect the useless incompetent Chinedu in their SE region like they've always elected useless leaders in their region. Don't dare dabble in our indigenous politics if you love your life because others don't dabble into your indigenous politics, even as you always elect useless leaders!

Is Lagos actually a Yoruba land? Was Lagos ever in Western region? You Yoruba have abandoned your Region and flocked to Lagos leaving your region in shambles. How many major industries in Lagos are owned by the Yoruba? How many industries are owned by the Yoruba in Western region? Sanwo olu is to be addressed as ex governor of Lagos state. Civil servants that are supposed to be non partisan are now made to be campaigning door to door for him. GRV will not find them useful and he will remove them because they will frustrate his government. Tell sanwo olu that he has lost power the moment he refused to join the debate. He was telling us that we are nothing. Saturday will tell.

Buy manual instead

1. Most of the vehicle imported are salvaged, the gear system is already faulty from abroad because of the accident they were involved or the handling they received at the auction yard, to trucking and shipping carelessly till they got to nigerian soil. It's just unfortunate ot packed up in the hands of the current user.

2. Poor maintenance, I always change all the fluids of the vehicle I just acquired, for tokunbo I wait after 6months for naija used within a week some people are afraid and would rather use the tokunbo fluid like that not knowing the condition the vehicle came at, they won't even guage the fluid hence damage occurs.

3. Bad or ill trained technician plus high cost of goods in our country is also a major factor, the I'll trained technician love dextron III fluid like kilode because it is cheaper and readily available. Cost too sometimes chases owners away dextron III for 2000 sienna b4 was 800naira, it's now 2k for 1L while texamatic was 3500/L b4, it's now 8k/L. Honda DW1 was 4k/L while dual pump II axle fluid was 3500/L now both are 8k yo 8500/L and minimum wage still dey 30k ooo intruder to cut cost, sharp practised are bound which leads to failure on the long run.

4. The country is not yet ripe for those advanced technologies, the roads needed, fluids needed, competent hands needed are scarse resources go Mobil and Total nah 20w50 full their line up. We don't manufacture the necessary things needed to keep those cars on road infact since 1980s, nigerian tech space has been degrading and reason why at many mechanic workshops, you find high end vehicles abandoned there due to lack of spare parts or technical know how.

Bros, this is experience talking. But your Sienna is not equipped with a manual transmission. All the transport companies that were using Sienna folded up. There is something that we always forget, that we are supposed to change the ATF every 15k miles. So if I ply Lagos Abuja, I should be changing the ATF every 3 months. No one is doing that and it is another reason for the gear failures. I guess it's one of the reasons why Toyota went to Ghana because they won't be able to handle the litigations if they were to be here. As we are analysing the faults and reasons of the faults, let us find a solution to this problem. I don't even want to talk about the ABS that cost over 1m on a GX 470 talkless of on the 2017 model of the highlander. Why will I buy an 18 year old 4 cylinder car for 4m? What am expecting to gain from it? If you are on the road, almost 80% are Toyota brand, it means that our motorists are suffering and smiling.

Wahala dey o, the fake news about the car is high. My friend sold a 2005 Corolla for 4m. I shouted in disgust

My Toyota gurus, why are Toyota cars always having gear failures? From 1999 till date. Someone recently bought a used gear of a Lexus Rx 350 2017 model for 3.5m and a 2018 highlander for 2.5m. All these excuses of 13 pin, 30 pin, what is the way forward?

Ransomware:
Oando has folded? What the hell is going on? When did that happen?
Lets talk business. If these oils are in high demand, i can send some for sell

I don't sell oil but I use it and recommend it to people. If it is good for range Rover, let me know. Oando has been sold to Nnpc and there are not going to be oils other than the same NNPC is selling.

Fergie you see this 2023 elections ba, God hand dey am.

I just can't understand what's going on. The level of confusion in the ruling party, and the challenges in the main opposition just makes it look like an unseen hand is behind all these honestly.

President is campaigning for BAT in public, and shaving him behind the scenes. BATs camp has come out guns blazing attacking the president, while the opposition is backing the president. G5 is scattering PDP chances in the south, while they themselves are scattered within (Ortom just publicly endorsed PO and has joined the masses in shouting Obi Obi Obi). The other members of G5 don't know where to run to as we speak.

Only one man, Peter Obi, Okwute ndigbo, Okwute Nigeria gburu gburu has got his acts together, and is sailing gradually and steadily in the midst of the whole confusion towards the prize.

Oluwa appears to be involved.

I am perceiving the advent of a new era in Nigeria.

May the good Lord bring it to fulfillment.

Go and read Judges 6 -8 and you will see that Obi is the next president of Nigeria
