my brother, it gets to a point in life where u see the problem someone is facing and u know that the first aid is to distract the victim first (for a hard laugh) before telling him the hard truth!

na so dem tell my cousin that year, no buy passat carry am come back naija....
the guy say, no mehn.... I love the darn ride....

pally carry the ride come back naija, enter owerri with terrible roads @ Ihiagwa......

short story, after 4months of smooth cruising.... the ride spent 2 days out of every week with the mechanic till it was totalled when brake failed and my bro left the ride like that ..... @ mechanic village, old nekede... till date!

mechanics wey never fix Toyota finish, na passat dem wan fix

Some of us learn by experience. Believe there is solution to every problem. Someone somewhere should have an average knowledge of Passage parasitic drain. Gazzuzz may too even though it's an unsupported brand. That's why this is cartalk, to assist each other as Nigerians. What do a 'local'man know!

sooperrescue:

Hmmm. The price listed on the board was taken from the office of the Gm of mvaa. Go through the process. The 33k includes insurance and Roadworthiness Certificate. It is a process that you can do. I got my driver's license by myself and it gave me much assurance on the road. There are two cars attached to a number and it is common in Lagos. Maybe we should get together, those who want to get number plates and we will all follow the procedures together. It is the price that we have to pay to end the fraud in the system. The one that makes me angry the most is the cmr. The cmr is charged at 1000 per vehicle and they will give you a photocopy of the receipt with 9 other vehicles. They collect 10k and issue 1k receipt. On the cmr certificate, it's stated that the cost is 100 naira but on the mvaa price list, it is 1k per vehicle. They also charge 500 naira for customs and 500 for police. I called the customs office and they told me to ask mvaa which account number was the money paid to. If we don't do something now, we will join those who will buy a car and start saving money for number plate.

Good point made Boss. The transparency is the problem. Can a 'local'man walk into mvaa office boldly to get plate number without them indirectly referring you to touts

banky3w:

So you mean if I walk into the licensing office to get a new plates, the amount I'll be billed will be 33k? I don't think so oh.

I'm interested in the answer to the above

Someone posted a car problem in car talk, few solution offered. You guys spent time derailing and arguing

Pls is there any teaching job around okota, isolo, Ejigbo, Ijesha, Ire-akari etc?

larrixauto2017:
hello normally we don't support the year of that car but i will tell what can cause the fuel consumption the only thing that can cause the fuel consumption is that there is not [ catalytic converter and oxygen sensor and there is possibility of a leaking exhaust in your car system

Thanks for the response. There's catalytic converter, but no oxygen sensor. Will check out for leaking exhaust cos I do perceive a foul smell sometimes.

Chief Gazzuzz,
I have a 2001 Volvo V40 that consumes fuel 6l/25km, I have changed plugs,clean throttle body. What could be the cause?

NB: Fan is running direct. I'm afraid of reverting since I bought it with fan running direct

Hello friends, I have this note 3 pro that goes off on it's on. Is it a factory fault and is there any remedy for this!. Sorry I can't read all the 100pages in case this have been answered before.

No response gurus? In addition, the rear camera is performing poorly. Can anything be done to this too? Kindly assist guys!

HRtechnique:


The 2007 CRV are expensive.
I learnt they have leg issues too.

The other option seems fantastic.
Thanks.

I doubt the crv within these years given having 'leg' issues

Carina E and that Avensis are same thing UpTo 90% so if you tell me you are buying carina I take it you know it's same thing as that year Avensis.

Fuel economy are so identical it's Negligible as all vehicles have 4cylinder version. Though the Passat and Volvo 4cylinder may be different because they are in a higher class than the rest and they are top heavy.

You never disappoint in your thoughts. Thank you Nurey

Manual

Location?

Manual or aut0? Location?

ugreat:


Does this apply both to Automatic and Manual version?
I'm looking at Automatic.

Boss, among all these, which ones are more fuel efficient?
Also Carina E is not among your list!

nurey:


Eggs, bread, cakes, displaying used cloths and shoes, light weight hauling, the Toyota is ok.

planks, iron fence, roofing sheets, tiles, bags of rice, packs of soft drinks medium to heavy weight haulage

Nissan primera P11 wagon, Mazda wagon, Volvo 740 series, Passat wagon B4 this ones can be modified at the rear to withstand heavy cargo, some came with rear axle for that cargo capacity from factory.

Does this apply both to Automatic and Manual version?
I'm looking at Automatic.

GAZZUZZ:


Fantastic, avoid the right-left converted ones

Thanks Boss

Boss,
I need your thoughts on 2001/2002 Toyota Avensis wagon as a small car for haulage. I intend using it once in a while for small haulage/logistics job. Also I will need other viable options as Toyota products are hot-cake.
Auto is my preferred option
Thanks

Thanks guys.
Cc: Nurey and Gazzuzz what do you think?

magikalz:


Thanks, bruv. Is Starter motor same as Kick starter?

Yeah

EasternDamsel4:

Oh really? I know it's very expensive too. I remembered extracting a tooth in 2014 for 5k and I also enquired about the root canal surgery...I was told it costs 15k.
Even if the practice is outdated, I know most people will always opt for extraction.

Quick recovery dear.

Root canal(I call it tooth surgery) is above 35k now at where I did mine

EasternDamsel4:

Yeah...I am commenting from experience. I almost had a root canal surgery cos I refused to come back for a permanent refill.
I finally got the tooth extracted...it's been blissful since then.
I will still check out other top tooth paste for that.

Did root canal some days back, the lecture given before and during the process makes it worthwhile. I will still monitor the progress as Dr advised that extraction is an outdated practice

kishimi8:


Got a clean golf 4 ,from a friend for 450k, I just De pray make the thing no gimme issues until I part with it. since I hear say the car get wahala

Radauto, do you work on Suzuki SX4?

Boss, 2000 Honda CRV pulled these codes P0325, P0135, P1337 & P0141. How do I resolve these? Thanks

Emlegacytimi:
Please folks what's the best internet service provider in Lagos. Glo is treating me badly

Etisalat,then MTN, then Airtel before Glo

My Ogas, do CRV(1999/2000 spec) experience the ball-joint issue? I thought it's built on the premise of Civic.

siralos135:
Good morning nlanders.
Most mornings, the car starts and then stops.I may have to try for about five more times before it finally starts and does not stop again.It will continue like this until I have driven quite a distance otherwise if I drive a short distance and park,it usually repeats same.
It also behave same way if I park the car and leave it for a while especially if am leaving the office after the days work.
The car is an Opel Astra.
I want to make an informed decision.
@GAZZUZZ,
@NUREY
@earthrealm
Etc
Thank you!

State car year. Confirm battery status
