And when you buy these 'brand new' cars from innoson and co, where are you going to drive them? In the air?
No good roads!

Let basic necessities be attended to first before talking about...

the roads that have been rehabilitated or newly constructed, did you guys not condemn it by asking who will drive on those roads when everyone is dying of hunger and insecurity? We never appreciate anything. Never. We are bunch of ingrates.

SeaTrade:
Don't twist My words,I said there's no such thing as an enabling environment,its mostly the excuse from people who can't work or are too dumb to think for themselves. America grew and still prospered during the wild west era when anarchy was the order of the day.
I've been in war torn countries in Africa that industries still operate and move their goods and carry out their everyday business in the heart of the insecurity areas,
What they do is they hire the military that come with their technicals they use to escort their trucks on the roads.Where you saw a deficient "enabling environment",smarter people saw POSSIBILITY.

Japan is probably the world's leader in the auto industry,which raw material Japan get?
You are so naive to think that you need to have raw materials before you can produce,whereas there's something known as global trade and very big ships to move oversize load.

Also ,stop with this foreign investor nonsense, local industries can grow to become powerhouses.
We didn't need foreign investments to be self sufficient and even export cement,Infact lafarge is playing second fiddle to Dangcem and BUA at the moment.
Same way we can grow local auto makers to become giants too and one way to do that is to raise tarrifs for cheap imports,so that they can not be dirt cheap and be low-balling the markets.
I even think the mark up is small ,that useless 03 corolla should sell for 6m in my opinion.

I like this guy. Kudos to your reasoning.

FEGEITOK:


Thanks for your advice.

Is there price-point at which you would consider the R500 value for money?

Or is it an all-round bad vehicle?

why not go for R350 and avoid the V8 and balloon shocks that come with R500. Those things fail easily.

Yeah... that too!

Hello everyone, I drive a 2010 w204. I scanned the car recently after a CEL came up and I got a P0496 code.
The car still drives well and I haven’t noticed any issue with it apart from the code.
I need to mention that this is about the third time this code will come up. I usually just clear it and it comes back up after about 2K miles.
I really want to solve it this time.
How do I go about resolving this issue please?

From the MBworld purge valve was the issue

Lol, you're not touching the main fan, they just add little side fans to aid the cooling, it's a suggestion by most mechanics so you can actually do without it

My W203 fan soeed was increased with a computer kinda stuff like that, why not increase the fan speed instead of adding additional fan, or can't this be increased?

The day I saw the B200 beside me in traffic LASMA officials almost arrested me because I was carried away admiring it not knowing the light as turned green

The car is an epitome of compact beauty

Did anyone here substitute OEM with Arnott's aftermarket air suspension

Like someone mentioned, some R350 have air balloons.

According to the forum lots of people have substituted the OEM with aftermarket.

Congrats on your ride Sir.
I also know of an expert Mercedese rewire around the location that @Chelseafan1 referred to.
Precisely behind the popular Kunle Ara pharmacy.
Perhaps the same person.
If Chelseafan1 does not get back to you soon, I will send his details.
Best regards.

Yeah, he's the one. Wasiu, behind Kunle Ara gangan....Guy is fucking good and very nice

EgunMogaji2:


Please share his details.

Ok boss, tell him from Femi that comes from Ife. White C350 �

Still saw him yesterday, his name is Wasiu

Chelseafan1:


Lol, naso, but we are addicted...I've driven Lexus, Avalon, Highlander, they are really nice cars but I love my Mercedes.

I eventually took my car away from those bastards, took it a rewire in IB who deals with Benz only around UCH, the guy solved all my problems in just a day, it happened that my SAM wasn't faulty at all as those idiots suggested. He changed some things under the front rug and my lights, wipers, horn, trafficators all came back to life.

I've been so happy, now I can enjoy my Mercedes in peace.

All I spent was we changed three of those things, each costing 23k, he charged me 5k for Workmanship, I no even price am, I was still thanking him.

Most of these big Autoshops are useless.

They could have gotten a new front SAM for 260k as they said and that wouldn't have solved my problems.

I'd have left there with over 500k debt, I didn't spend more than 74k at this Rewires place.

My fan also stopped blowing aggressively non stop, it now works very fine, picks up once AC is powered on and it's silent.

Opposite uch close to the junction that goes to the sectariat... only two items are usually responsible for a Merc misbehaving electrics.... CANBUS and SAM.... few people can diagnose CANBUS properly. Definitely not Japanese mechs. I visited the workshop about a decade ago.

Please what is CANBUS?

I scanned my car and it brought out error codes related to CANBUS

Haba Shope Longest time. How Abeokuta?

To answer your question CANBUS na one small plastic that joins wires and is located underneath your driver seat door railings. Most likely corroded by water.
