Dear forumites, I seek your help to identify and solve a problem that has caused me so much heartache and loss of money.
I have a Nissan Murano 2005 . Last month, the car started a strange behaviour. Mind you I have maintaned the car as appropriate. While driving it just showed break on the dashboard and stopped.

I did all to start it but no way. After it cooled down it started though with another batter (mine has died). Since after that day, no matter the amount fuel in it, the car will always off on the road one (the ignition will still be on) . Once you off and on the car, it will not start again till i get to my destination but it will surely off again on coming back.

I have spent so much trying to solve this problem.

Help me please!

Thank you.

They have the right to do what they did to you. Because there are too much crimes everywhere in the country. But only the error which they did is for not saying "Sorry for taking your time" after they have finished with you.

I've never set my eyes on the fuel filter and so, I don't know what it looks like. I actually got to know about it (fuel filter) when I asked them to list the items that made up my bills during the last service.

Nwunuken:
OK the car didn't show cel.

Nwunuken:
what is cel

Nothing is beyond repair but make sure you know what u are fixing and the cost implication so that u use that to get a good bargain with the seller. You need to be guided by a professional diagnostician to help you scan the vehicle as a whole and advice you accordingly.
If you are in Lagos and u need a professional diagnostician ,call autologic @ 08061166316

you can get up to 20amp from the charger

you can buy a power pack with up to 18 to 20a 12v rating

Bro, an electrical technician and I have opened it and inspected what could be the cause. A bulging capacitor was clearly visible and we changed it and also one of the resistors. After the changes made, the charger still REFUSED to work. Up till now that I type these texts, the guy is still battling with it even though I have given up. He said he wasn't giving up because he enjoys challenges of such and although I have given up on it, he pleaded that I allow him take a more in-depth look into all components - something tells me he'll never be able to resolve the problem as these chargers are mostly China products designed not to last beyond a year! You need to see the grammatical blunders on the manual, guy, you'll gasp for breath and pass-out. Our posts on this forum is sufficient evidence that they are all shambolic contraptions from mediocre technologies not built with rigor or ruggedness. More than 60% of first generation participants of this thread who successfully built the local inverter set-up (including me) all have the same experience with these chargers.

I'm interested in your suggestion, that we could, on this thread, also focus on exploring alternatives e.g just as we adapted the common office UPS for inverters, we could also start brainstorming on what components of the UPS could be changed to enable it charge higher capacity batteries (as opposed to the 7.5H inbuilt) i.e enabling it through local modifications to charge 100AH and more.

Hi all. Pls I hv a few questions;
1. With solar charge controller already inbuilt, can hybrid inverter supply AC (Alternative Current) power directly to feed appliances WITHOUT battery bank?

In other words, if battery bank supplies DC power to d inverter, now converted to AC feeding appliances, can solar panel (DC) power also feed directly to hybrid inverter, after having converted to AC to power appliances WITHOUT needing battery bank?

2. Apart frm d label or sticker pasted on d body:
A) are there other indications to differentiate between mono and poly solar panels? Since label can be deceptive.

B) are there also ready ways to know d true Watt, label or no label?

3. Does solar panels also have 12v and 24v? Or d traditional connection of 2pcs 12v in series is d way of achieving its own 24v too?

4. While already mounted and used for a while, but due to one reason or d other, if solar panel is left unused for a period of time, does dat damage it, or affect it in any way? If any, what is d considerable period like? Ref. to leaving battery unused for a while

5. Is there any rule guiding d distance to maintain between solar panel and d roof while mounting? Or can it just be placed right on roof and screw down?

Thanks for sincere and mature response.

Stiill waiting pls

Guys, whats the best second hand vehicle to buy... I am actually thinking of Peugot 206 or Honda baby boy

I don't understand why people are being bitter on this thread instead of playing the game. When Uber has a surge, you turn the app on. If Taxify is offering higher rates, you drive Taxify. If you get a good job on Ogataxi, you drive Ogataxi. What's the problem? These conpanies only care about their pockets and you should too.

That's the beauty of a capitalist society - put your effort where the money is, not in hurling insults that don't bring money.

eRex:
Thank you for your response.

But I realized that the condenser is in front of the radiator.. And the 2 fans are just behind. Would the be any provision where any of the fan would blow the condenser in front... I realized my in-law put a little fan in front of his condenser.. Although he uses and xterra and it has just one big fan for radiator.

Besides I don't use the AC when I realised it was overheating

naijacutee:
Hi guys,

What car do you have, and how much did you spend on petrol last week?

I want to import a Hybrid Toyota Prius as a test, and I'm doing some research beforehand

eRex:
Dear Automedic,

I use a Mazda MPV 05 model.
On a given start you could hear the fan rotation loudly when the car is idle. (Two fans in normal positioning behind the main radiator)
But if I put on my AC... The temp will step up say after 30 mins and when I turn off ac/ no matter how high, the temperature will come down
Questions: do I need to have a additional fan for the condenser alone?
2: could my gasket be burnt and need change. ( I have had overheating issueing a couple of times due to wrong wiring of fan.

legendsilver:
OK, my mechanic just confirmed to me that one of the six plugs died which then resulted to the increased fuel swallowing but he has got it fixed. He also said the output pipe has no leakage, so lemi sojourn to another journey and see how far it drinks fuel.
.thanks for your support

Hii gurus.. I hail all of una.. I went with my friend to help check a tokumbo Toyota camry 2007 That she intends to buy.. So.. I scanned the car and got the following codes.. P0303...p0037... And p0441...guys..apart from the p303 code which is cylinder 3 misfire.. Please house.. What could be the cost implications of buying the tokumbo camry 2007.. Cos I knw she would need to fix the items causing the codes.. Gazzuzz... Kingreign... Autojosh... Cardoctor.. Ochuko... Honmusa... Mayor123... Ikenna351.. Nurey.. Diportivo... And other car gurus.. Make una help oo.. Cos I have to give feedback to my friend this afternoon..

TRYGO:
@timifakay. I don't think so sir. If you do realise that there are intermittent misfires, that would make me accept your inferences.

Well, "anyhow you want it sha".

TRYGO:
@timifakay. Are you saying you don't have intermittent misfires?
Definitely a range, got you.
