It's a reliable car but not the most fuel efficient 4 cylinder out there. If you're fine with the fuel economy, fire down

Good evening my gurus in the house,
I really appreciate the effort of everyone trying to assist or help on matters that relate to our cars. Also to deliver us from the evil hands of Kazeems! cool

Please, my issue is that anytime my car battery is disconnected and reconnected my RX300, 2001 model, will be idling very low and even dies off when I apply the brake. It often an embarrassing experience due to constant restarting of the car at the middle of the road or traffic.

It normally stop this madness after like 45mins or so of driving nonstop.

I don't think this is normal, what can I do to fast track this re learning of the ECU.

Thanks in anticipation. Kudos to you guys.
Stop removing ya battery.
Simple.

Henadek:
Hi bosses

I am contemplating getting the Fx35 vs Rdx for 2008 to 2010 majorly because I don't want a full sized suv. Tired of using sedan cars because of the crazy lagos roads that are so bumpy especially in this rainy season. It's just not making sense anymore driving a sedan on these bad roads. Hence my thoughts on these options. I am also considering the Honda Crosstour, but I am not so sure about the ground clearance of the car compared to the fx35 and rdx. I would've considered the lexus rx350 but it's just too common for my liking.

Please let me know your thoughts from your personal experiences. And feel free to suggest any other car make you feel fits the crossover suvs within the price range of the fx35 and rdx for years 2008 - 2010.
Acura zdx

Good morning Guys.

Please I need solid recommendations on good/durable tyres to buy (whether Toks or brank new). Location is Abuja pls. Thanks

Car tire size : 195/65r15 91v
Also can I buy a size slightly higher than this to help raise my honda civic a bit, cuz the ground clearance is quite low?

Buy brand new only if you're buying premium tyres.
If considering china tyres, buy toks instead

Ok then.
Gs350 is the best of the lot. The driving experience is incomparable to the others.
But someone rightly pointed out that you would need to avoid swimming with the car to preserve the steering rack

Mods I don’t know who exactly to tag on this but I would appreciate if y’all can push this to front page because I know Nairaland as a forum has different types of humans with different experiences on all fields


So a friend of mines dream car is this particular car and he wants to travel from PH to Abuja to get this car next week but he can’t ask car dealers much about this car because they would probably brainwash him just to sell


So one car dealer at Ikoku told him if he buys the car he shouldn’t drive from Abuja to PH rather hire a trailer to bring it for him for 400k because the car engine isn’t strong and don’t like stress


He’s been complaining on how to spend 24million on this car and not have great value for his money


Please anyone here who has used this car before can you tell me the pros and cons of this four cylinder car please and if it’s worth it

Get the v6 instead, this engine is known to grenade

Good day bosses, I’m looking to buy my first car with a budget of around 4-5M, though I have a good experience with cars but I need the OGs advice and choices on the best car I can get in that range
Nigerian used or foreign used any of them
I had a Honda accord 2010, a Lexus ES330, a Toyota Camry 2010 and some Hyundai or Kia series in mind I really don’t like the Toyota Corolla series

Do the 010 accord jejely (4 cylinder). You can also do the es330 (if fueling no be problem).
Most importantly, use a very good mechanic for pre-purchase inspection

This is good but Enyimba football club still falls below international standards for being a state government run and financed team. State government still pays players salaries as if they are civil servants. It is shameful. Enyimba should do better.
Do you watch Nigerian League matches live every weekend?

How can they do better when we don't even watch their matches.

FuckingMachine:
Please I need suggestions for an SUV I can buy for under N2m Naija used. The SUV should be rugged off roader and be able to support me having serious sex frequently inside.

Fuel consumption is not an issue since my main mission is to park in remote and rough terrain and Bleep in peace.

Maintenance should be on the cheap side though. I will also prefer leather since my sidechick squirts a lot.
I'm getting this car so that my wife's friends cannot identify me easily hence my low budget.

Thanks for your suggestions.

MAYBE you can get a 2003/2004 Volvo 2.5T

Car Talk / Re: Pls Help! Which Is The Best Toyota Gear Oil by olumzzz(m): 4:05am On Oct 20, 2023
kinzey1:


What you should know is that there is no original in Nigeria. The original one liter from Amazon cost about $90. Multiply by 4 liters and 1100 you will see that original is far from Nigeria.

Just buy from any major oil dealer and replace after 10,000-15,000km of driving
That's not true sir.
A 12-pack for the one liter costs $90+.
Divide that by 12 1st before multiplying by naira exchange rate.

Politics / Re: Edo 2024 Face-Off: Obaseki Disbands Deputy Gov, Shaibu's Media Team by olumzzz(m): 7:02am On Aug 29, 2023
Chinjo2:
I just like the way Obaseki is handling Shaibu. Shaibu is trying to play wike in Edo all because of his selfish ambition.
It is Obaseki that gave him all the powers in the first place that is why he is misbehaving.
If I may ask, who was the deputy governor of Rivers State under wike? Them born Odubu to talk when Oshiomholes was governor? Who was the deputy governor of Kaduna State under El-rufai?
It is because of Obaseki has been playing gentleman politics where he sees Shaibu as his partner in the business of governance that's why Shaibu thinks he has arrived.
How many deputy governors in Nigeria took over from their ogas?
You don't become a governor by fighting your Boss but through loyalty. Besides, it's not yet time for the Auchis after Oshiomholes 8 years as governor.
Boss, all I see here are distractions.
Obaseki is a failed governor that wasn't able to transform Edo economy in 7 years and his deputy who wants to continue from where his oga stopped in terms of failure.
Instead of Edo people distracted with their wahala, I think Edo people should ignore them and focus on getting a better candidate in the next election who would transform the state.
All these PDP and APC guys are all the same. From Obaseki, to Shaibu, to Ize-iyamu, to the Igbinedions, to Oshiomhole, etc

Politics / Re: Only Five States Can Build Over 100 Km Of Electricity Transmission Lines - EMRC by olumzzz(m): 11:52am On Aug 09, 2023
FreeStuffsNG:
Please tell me which nation in the world is not battling with electricity in the world. Smh.

Just like most nations, we are not battling with electricity in the whole spectrum. UK for months now has had most electricity companies folding up and returning their licenses to their regulator Ofgen.Try and read to understand and not be too quick in lamenting.

For years now, we produce more electricity than we need by the time you add all forms of energy we generate and use in all electricity
generators nationwide but electricity is more than generation.

We produce even more electricity than we need but some zones are not investing in such critical sector and for that reason the electricity transmission and distribution is not efficient. Imagine if Anambra had invested the money Mr Obi sank in a beer-making International Breweries plc to prepare ahead for this kind of opportunity.

Just to enact laws for state electricity market, it is just a handful of 3 states ,Kaduna,Edo and Lagos, have state framework for their electricity market yet state legislators of most states can do the job. That's why it's not just to lament and go. Understand the issues and suggest if you have anything to offer.
This is a whole lot of wrong information
