Car TalkRe: My Car Is Rough Idling by TCD: 8:28am On Aug 19, 2014
GAZZUZZ: Stiff when?
Are your brakes harder than usual?
I turn off the engine, wait one min, depress the break pedal its initially soft then becomes harder and stiff after when depressed.
Car TalkRe: My Car Is Rough Idling by TCD: 8:51pm On Aug 18, 2014
GAZZUZZ: "AFTER" you turn off your car?

When engine is off wait 1min then step on your brakes they should be soft for a few seconds then stiff afterwards, if this does not happen the hissing sound may be comming from a leaking servo (brake booster).
I did the break test..it goes stiff as you said. What are the signs of a vacum leak?
Car TalkRe: My Car Is Rough Idling by TCD: 9:16am On Aug 18, 2014
GAZZUZZ: Did you recently change battery? Or disconnect battery before this happened? If yes, keep driving for a while your car will Re-learn and the rpm will correct its self without you noticing, also scan to see what the dtc code refers too,finally listen for any hissing sounds and vacuum leaks.
hi Gazzuzz, I hear a hissing sound when I turn off the engine and open the bonnet of my car with 2AZ-FE engine after driving, its brief and stops. Always wondered what that is. Usually thought its normal. Is this a sign of vacumm leak? There is no check engine light in my dashboard.

mployer: I don't have the necessary expertise knowledge. My volunteer won't change anything. If I had the knowledge I would volunteer, I have done similar thing before.
you don't need any necessary knowledge to volunteer. There are stuffs you can do even if you are not medically inclined. So pls find your way to Lagos state ministry of health and offer to help fight ebola. Don't waste time, delay might be dangerous.
HealthRe: NMA Strike Update!!! by TCD: 7:00am On Aug 07, 2014
phantom: rising from the delegates meeting, dr obembe singlehandedly called of the strike in connivance with his NOC.
the required one week notice before calling a delegates meeting was violated as this meeting was called in under two days.
in the notice of meeting sent to delegates,the corrupt chairman obembe and his NOC refused to give the venue of the meeting and it was fixed for 8pm!

consequently dr obembe and his NOC have been impeached!!!
Lagos NMA chairman is now in charge.

aluta continua..........
I hope its true he has been impeached. What kind of nonsense is that? Using underhand tactics to force a suspension of the strike. If issues with the government have been satisfactorily addressed like he said, why no do things the right way. I love the way obembe and his bunch of traitors were swiftly impeached under minuites without wasting time. This will serve as a deterrent to others who think NMA is their fathers kingdom and feel they can do what they like.Good riddance
HealthRe: NMA Strike Update!!! by TCD: 6:51am On Aug 07, 2014
mployer: You should be ashamed of yourself.
Aluta in fighting for your greed or combating the epidemic that is ravaging your brothers huh
I would rather be impeached than remain a chairman to idiots that are chasing the rat when their house is on fire.
I've lost respect for Nigerian doctors including you incase you are one of them.
shut up please you clown. Don't you know the way to lagos state ministry of health or first consultant hospital obalende? They are accepting volunteers to help fight ebola virus and need all the help they can get, afterall no be your mates dey volunteer for liberia and sierra leone even all the way from America? Be waiting on nigerian doctors and other health workers to go and die for you for 5K a month. Mumu

Car TalkRe: Ibadan To Abuja by TCD: 2:50pm On Jul 27, 2014
GAZZUZZ: LG govt boys are on the rd to collect road taxes,radio licence tax,mobile adverts, .......... There are a lot of taxes corporate bodies ard supposed to pay every year, funny thing is if you enter any local govt office to pay for this stuff every thing will cost you between 5-10k (depending on your bargaining power) but on the road hmmm its a different ball game, since they stoped them from putting sticks and nails on the road, they now work with the security agents at security check points e.g army will stop you and tell you to park, LG boys will continue the interogation.

As for the custom duty guy even a car I bought here on nairaland last week (tokumbor unregistered) with tincan custom duty was stopped at okene as it was being delivered they pointed out 1 very small detail and said yes the car was cleared in tincan but the agent did not pay all the processing fees! How they figured it out I don't know, well I called up the chap that sold the vehicle, he called up the agent, agent called customs 7hrs later money exchanged hands (agent transfered cash)car was released. Now for that type of car your heart would alwasy skip a beat when you get to a custom check point.

For the custom duty I DONT CARRY THE CERTIFICATES IN MY VEHICLE, I just flash a get out of jail card when stopped and move on.
na wa o. Na God go save someone for dis country. Abeg dis your get out of jail card, what is it? Or are u a military officer too?
Car TalkRe: Ibadan To Abuja by TCD: 7:46am On Jul 27, 2014
GAZZUZZ: Its about 600km and by nigerian standards the roads are fair.

Pointers

1. Ensure your car has all the particulars especially custom duty the original one the guys at ibilo and okene are deadly. If you don't have those papers just get ready to part with between 1 and 30k on each stop depends on their mood and your bargaining power.

2.If you car is any of the "bank models" ensure the name of the owner of the vehicle is not a cooperate name if not the local govt bois will get you, that's another 10-25k depending on your bargaining power their moods are always bad. P.s this applies to trucks and cars that are often bought brand new.

3 between ife and owo there are a lot of pointless speedbrakers beware.

4. Nasty curves in akoko(ondo state)

This one planes are falling you want to stick to the ground? Safe trip man.
what exactly are these local govt boys looking for? And do they stop private cars?. Also the custom guys do you need the original custom docs or a photocopy will do?

AutosRe: Transmission Fluids, Getting The Right One For Your Vehicle by TCD: 8:30am On Jul 25, 2014
sooperrescue: Matic K or J and Our pureguard is suitable for your Nissan Titan. We are in Lagos, Abuja, Benin and Makurdi.

There is the popular Toyota T1V transmission fluid in the market. It comes in 1 litre and a gallon. No Nigerian oil marketer produces atf oil for modern vehicles. They are 10 years behind, that is those that are forward thinking like Oando and MRS which produces Dexron 111. Mobil comes next with Dexron 11e. All these fluids are suitable for cars that were produced before 2003/4. Total, Conoil, Forte are producing fluid meant for vehicles made before 1996 and yet unsuspecting motorists, trusting these brands continue to use these fluids. Our Auto Magazine, AUTOWATCH is doing a detailed report on these fluids and the report will be available in our next edition in August. It is an eye opener and designed to complement this thread. Send us a mail to order for a copy. autowatchnigeria@yahoo.com
what's the brand name of this popular type 4 ATF and how much does it cost please?

HealthRe: FG Should Stop Doctors From Establishing Private Clinics by TCD: 7:18am On Jul 23, 2014
All useless propaganda. Only a fool will listen to this people. Just yesternight in the middle of the night I was woken up that a senior matrons child has been convulsing and unconsious I should please come and help. Last week was also called when one of thems children had sickle cell crises. And these are very senior nurses o. They themselves know they won't dare take their unconscious children to radiographers, lab scientists and A$E nurses. The other day the ones in labour room took delivery and the woman started pouring blood like tap she was discharged sharply to go find a doctor to sort her out in a private clinic. We had to eventually take out that womans womb to save her life. Poor woman had ruptured her uterus due to injudicious uses of oxytotics by those clowns in a woman with two previous scars. When they shyte hits the fan or when their own relations fall into serious trouble they know who to call, meanwhile they will be advising the gullible public to come patronise them. I laugh in french
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by TCD: 1:33pm On Jul 20, 2014
GAZZUZZ: Worn out brake pads Should not cause your pedal to feel soft, if you have a leak and air has been introduced to your hydraulic system yes it could feel soft,also if your brake fluid dropped so low as to allow air into the system, yes it could feel soft and finally if your brake master cylinder is faulty it could also feel soft. Have your system bleed to release air pockets inside your brake lines, if its still soft replace brake master.
. Thanks a lot. Will have it checked out.
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by TCD: 8:12pm On Jul 19, 2014
Hi. Pls my brake pedal feels soft not as hard and springy as usual. One mech says I should replace the master cylinder, another says to replace brake pads and calipers. I'm not really cut ready for trial and error mechanics. Although the break pads are truly worn when I checked, but will worn out breaks and calipers cause a soft break pedal?
