GAZZUZZ:


Engine tune up

Thank you chief. Can I bring the car to your garage for this, and if yes please share address and when? Thanks again.

Dear Gazzuzz,

I have a 2013 RAV4 I’ve used for a year with a fuel consumption of 11mpg. It’s quite excessive and I need a way to fix it. Any idea what could be the cause? Engine runs smooth otherwise, though I’ve had to change wheel rotors and I’m still not satisfied with the wheels/suspension generally. Bought Nigerian used.

Thanks!

Hi Gazzuzz.
I recently got a 2013 Rav4 and I noticed that it vibrates when I apply brakes while going above 100km/h. At lower speeds its smooth braking. What could be the problem?
Also, the fuel gauge doesn't go below quarter tank when empty.
Thanks for your help.

ND_Fischer: @Sonee and Dozita.... Please what department did you both apply for? And when (which date) did you do your assessment? Pls kindly reply.

I'm not sure what it's all about but I know we're completely at their mercy.

Its utterly simplistic and consists of a pool of words out of which you're to choose which best describe you. The problem is, you have no idea what qualities they're looking for

soneee: Nobody here that went for the assessment centre that has gotten a mail for a PI survey?

I also got the mail from Richard Naon a couple of days ago. What I don't understand is, of what relevance are these irritating personality tests and why didn't anybody else get same?

tochex u see dis?

just hope science advances and finds a way to stop or reverse aging in your lifetime.

legendary thread!

Its weird hw six posts alone made this one of d most entertaining threads i've ever come across.

choi! Wat a wicked assignment, wat did u do to make such an enemy?

OP's a very funny guy.
okay we don hear, u get jeep.

ok, heres my take on this issue. I think the OP means to question the dumping of our native names for foreign names but mentioned 'english' names because its maybe the most common. In my opinion, HE IS RIGHT, ABSOLUTELY ON POINT. Now i dont think majority of us today bear these foreign names due to some inferiority complex and i'm certain that we do not bear them out of any deep reverence for our religion.
So why do we bear them?
The truth is that many are indifferent and others just came to be aware of them as they got older and developed a fondness for them, its silly to begrudge anyone that or to dictate to anyone what names he might bear. But as odumchi pointed out, inferiority complex in colonial times WAS the reason from the start and it DOES undermine our identity.
I realised i was a proud Okonkwo and not some Paul or Adam and decided i'd drop mi foreign name when i was maybe 13 and besides, our names are rich and beautiful!

ZIM DRILL:

check your battery my backup acer aspire 1640 with xp OS does that, the battery is gone if i plug in the charger while the battery is hooked to the laptop it freezes now i take off the battery and plug the charger it doesnt freeze

dunno if i understand u correctly zim, are u saying i should remove my battery, plug in my charger, then put my battery back in? sounds unwise

omega25red:

this one is very odd well first question: are you sure the charger you are using actually is for your laptop? because could be that the laptop charger is a similar one to the actual model of the charger your laptop needs

That may be it. The original charger got damaged a long time ago and the first toshiba charger i purchased from those crooks at ikeja stopped working after a week so i decided to go for a second hand. The one i got had been working perfectly fineuntil now but it isnt toshiba, it reads delta electronics. The problem is, i tried my friend's who's got the exact same model and the same thing happened. its a satellite A205-S5804 with the original battery.

Help! My laptop freezes once i plug the charger in. Everything just hangs including the keyboard and touchpad. Whenever its charging and i plug it in,it tries to come on and freezes before showing anything on the screen. In other words, i cant use my laptop and charge it at the same time so i'm stuck to using it till it discharges and then charging before using it again. Its a toshiba satellite, 2G ram, 120G HDD, windows vista. Abeg any help would be seriously appreciated.

This jonesing thread made front page!!!
confirmed! cent is nairaland's finest.
If u disagree,open your own fineboi thread & lets see it make front page.

Pidgin to become a formal language- long overdue. Pidgin to become national language- not good. Its a good idea to study the language,standardize it, and build a body of knowledge on its history,structure and dialects. Quite likely there's been more work done on dog linguistics than on nigerian pidgin which is spoken by millions. However,adopting it as a national language or teaching it in schools is just ridiculous in my opinion. Reading pidgin (even the stuff written on this thread) is hard labour and it has a very limited vocabulary completely bereft of technical words. I think it should be 'formalized' and left to remain what it is- an auxillary language we communicate in when standard english proves difficult or uncomfortable for us.

I grew up with some bad friends in my neighbourhood, we would save money to go and watch (slow motions) - a code we used to term adult movies waybac then on friday nights. Some times we would compare our jt to know who has the biggest. We wanted to experiment it so ther was a day we gathered in one room to construct a love letter to new girl whose family parked in newly into our compound. Since I had a better writing skills, I told my two other friens that if the girls comes I will be the first to do and they both agreed. So, we wrote the letter telling the girl to come to the room since we were staying in a large compound. We decided to send one of my friend's brother to deliver the love letter. The little boy went straight to their door step to peep if the girl was inside. Unfortunately, the girl's mun caught our messenger with the letter and collected it from him. She read through and showed it to all elders in the compound. We were still inside the room waiting for action when we heard a loud bang on the door and our messenger was in front with all mama and papa for compound.

Olboy, the beating that day was like a village square beating. When I remember the whole story I laughed.

i laughed so hard i narrowly escaped choking 2 death while reading dis.i used 2 compose letters for mi mates back in secondary skul too.one day,an olofofo teacher intercepted one and a handwriting check followed.since it was anonymous,there was no way 2 prove i wasn't d loverboy & i got d punishment.

I bought some shares sometime in 2008 and three weeks later they were worth only half price. It'll take a miracle to get me to buy shares again(really i'm just registering in nairaland's longest thread).

Theres this nursery rhyme dat goes, mini mini mani mo,

look at it dis way.we live in a country where the police and even vigilante groups proudly display the corpses of 'armed robbers' shot dead.even police recruits on patrol are armed with mean-looking rifles instead of service pistols.mobs lynch suspected criminals on a regular basis.if everyone owned guns oga john would simply accuse his percieved foe,mallam hassan of a crime & shout ole and the angry guntotting mob would do the rest.we need to see guns less often not more.

what a joke.we celebrate crooks!i think a compilation of all the people who've ever been given these awards with the exception of a handful of names would make a fair rollcall of nigeria's greatest criminals.

nigeria's probably d only country where d majority can be not just wrong but downright stoopid.stuff dat shud be treated by d wayside is brought to d frontburner.d illiterate national assemby was actually considering a bill to dictate dresscodes,and we aint a muslim nation.did she force anyone to look?morality shoud be clearly distinct from legality to any sane person.unfortunately,many it seems many nigerians are otherwise and theres only one cause, illiteracy.or better still,low-quality education.
