Hello Moderator,

Am a new car owner though been driving for a while.

Please what can I do to my car battery that runs down quickly. The alternator is fine as confirmed by my mechanic. Most times i remove one of the battery terminals after parking to prevent being run down overnight.
I await your valuable insights on this issue. The car is Honda Accord Eod ex.

U have to check ur alternator very well
It might be the culprit

Start the car disconnect one of the battery terminals
Power on ac, headlight and wiper watch and see if the engine goes off

I recently bought a W640 G230 Mercedes benz, unfortunately the car was vandalized by the previous owner who installed a mb M111 (C class 4cylinder engine in the car) oviosly the engine has no power to pull this car, i am a lover of vintage cars and i want to restore this car, the interior of the car is destroyed so i will fix a custom dashboard and center console,so i am flexible in terms of The Instrument Clauster.

I'll do body work,upholstery and painting after the mechanical part

I was told by some kazeems to install a nissan patrol engine so that the 4 wheel drive option will be restored unto the car for me it's not an option ( i searched the internet) and some people have successfully done that swap but its a cabŕeuttor eingine and that's a no no for me

So i searched further and i saw a build with a Toyota Jz1 in Indonesia mad fast and looked very good i don't know how realistic that kind of swap is in Nigeria.

I have a friend in SA who put a Mitsubishi engine in his G, he doesn't know much about cars so he couldn't tell me very much about how it was done but again i have heared of keke engine inside camery and i don't want that kind of something ��

Last but not least i was considering a M104 ( from a S class) the issue is still that this were rear wheel drives as far as i know so i don't know how well that will drive and look? Also the transmittion inside the car will also work with this engine, i guess? Since the M104 is like a 6 cylinder version of the M111?

Is there any way i can get ECU,OBD and co to work? Probably not but may be atleast the check engine, oil and other lamps

IKENNA / GAZZUZZ AND CO ABEG COME AND HELP A BROTHER

disclaimer: i am a car dealer but i don't have any kind of training as a mechanic or anything automotive related just the little exprience I've gathered my young life, so please speak english i can understand lol.

Tell a mechanic to help u look for the engine number. It will be somewhere on the engine. Some parts may need to be removed so as to read the number accurately.
And yes u need it to register the car.

If you think your mechanic is about to humble you, try another, preferably an arrogant one.

There’s yet another Nigerian owned automobile manufacturer, Nord motion, and they have just launched 5 new models. Could this be the leading automobile manufacturing brand in Africa? Click on the link below to find out:
