I have not been privileged to drive as many BMWs as you have but my BMW adventure is not going to end anytime soon. grin grin
these cars handle like they are on rails, i find my self always having to check my speedometer cause you cant tell how fast you are going from the feel of the car.
my previous car was a 2007 328i non ZSP. I had serious fun in it and was really attached to that car., i used to hit the speed limiter without trying which made sense cause the ZSP package 328i had the exact same engine but a higher speed limit of 250kph.
The car felt like a caged beast to me, i eventually sold it and was going to buy a ZSP 328I from the same year but got a deal on a fully loaded 335I i couldnt pass on. Its a rocket ship grin
Now I have made a hobby of embarrassing merc, infiniti and lexus drivers

Boss thanks so much for educating me.. Please one last favour, my vibe need driver side airbag sensor, please can I get this part from your friend ... I beg thee

He had an accident with the Matrix, so the airbag has done its job.

What I know is: Steering wheels are interchangeable between the 2003-2008 Corolla, Matrix and Pontiac Vibe.

What I also know is: the airbags are not all the same for the Corolla/Matrix/Vibe (not sure a Matrix airbag will work on a Vibe and vice versa) To find out which is which contact Aunty Rad or Gazz for professional advice as some airbags employ just one connector while the same three spoked wheel steering has two connectors.

Hmmmm... But what if i dont want mess things up by using Toyota HVAC component... Can one find Pontiac HVAC components? Will they be bery expensive?

They’re readily available. A brand new Delphi compressor (Vibe) is cheaper than a Denso compressor (Matrix) - I know this because I've bought one. My initial comments were based on the fact that my colleague exported Matrix AC components to his Vibe. He had an accident with his Matrix, and bought a naija used Vibe that just 'needed gas' - we ended up learning a lot after we topped gas grin. I won't advise anyone goes this route, we only took this path because we had the matrix parts already.

Boss are you saying vibe need a specialist mechanic and not regular Toyota mech ?


No chief. I mean if you want to use Matrix HVAC components on the Vibe you need a professional who will carry out the surgical f.vcke.ry.

What are the many differences boss... Use to think it is just the body design and HVAC

A lot of things except many exterior body parts are interchangeable, side view mirrors are interchangeable. A colleague at my former place of work had one, coming from a wrecked Toyota Matrix, he had his own personal junkyard. I know for sure that door handles are the same on his Matrix and Vibe.

As for HVAC, we learnt this the hard way when we thought we could just remove, insert and inshallah! Denso Compressors are plug and play on the 1ZZFE, but that's all where the good news ends. If you try to run a Toyota compressor on the vibe, you must export things like the expansion valve, AC lines, blower motor harness or something, evaporator, resistor, I think the Matrix's condenser might work but we didn't get that far during the surgery last year.

And oh, you need a competent mecho or the vibrations will end your tinkering career.

Make that 2003 C320 a choice but it should be 2005 C320. It's the best of power and reliability, and it's also not too expensive to replace the engine.

Weyreypey calm down. That car is very reliable, way more reliable than my Benz W211. This particular IS was gotten from calc.ulu.sx on here last year. Only time it visited a workshop was when it had immobilizer issues, would have spent way less if I was in Lagos. You and I know we learnt DIYs or reading of fault codes because of our dalliance with German money pits.The engine for this Is250 is 90-100k, the M112 is 80k or so. Suspension components prices are almost the same bar 4matic rates.

Yes the leather is sh*t, only thing the Merc wins here is interior design. Exterior wise, I'd choose the IS every effing time.

I've seen those guys do wonders with cracked alloy wheels. I can't guarantee the alloy's structural integrity afterwards, but it will serve you pending your replacement timetable.

Good evening house , please how do I repair or how much can I get this alloy rim for my MB C230 05 kompressor, mine is cracked and it all make the car tyres loose air and I keep on pumping it daily and there is nothing wrong with the tyre

Those are 16's right? They won't be hard to find even if they are 15's. Now to the cheaper option, find someone who welds/fixes AC condensers, they will reheat and reshape your alloys eliminating the bumps as much as possible. Won't cost more than 2-3k per wheel.

Has the title of this thread now changed to How to effectively transport a car from Lagos to anywhere in Nigeria?

You will derail with impunity when it suits your purpose, when someone else does, you cry wolf. If the cars are bought won't they be transferred? The OP sometimes ships cars with replacement parts and even services the engines atimes, you think he doesn't know that he's supposed to sell cars "as is" alone? As always if you're ready to go down the name calling route, mention my moniker on a dead thread, let's have fun.

Hence 1M is good to clear it.

1m to pay complete duties for a '12 TL?

This rate isn't feasible, only 55-65% of that amount will be reciepted. Keep 25-50k to settle customs especially those rascals at Okada

I used my EOD for years and I won't accept anything Honda as souvenir let alone wasting money on that crap. I had my first ball joint ish less than 5 months of buying that car.
But wait did you just call Toyota old people's car? I am sorry to say this, Honda is actually for struggling young men especially people who need a car at all cost . Cheap, common and easy to maintain problematic.
Check the users of EOD mostly and tell me your findings.

That's very rude and condescending. Totally unnecessary!
