For me, I will advise you go with Honda City. The maintenance is cheap, low fuel consumption, doesn't have ball joints issue, has resell value if properly used, etc.

I have never used a Nissan Tiida but one time I tried buying it, a whole lot of people did discouraged me saying it mostly has electrical issues. Even the person who wanted selling the car to me said the same thing too. So since then, I had to runnnnnn as fast as I could away from anything Nissan.

But still seek the opinion of other users, am sure others will have different experiences.
Your narrative is flawed my friend, you are using a general term to describe a fault any car can generate. All Jap cars are almost the same when it comes to their electrical infrastructure. Yesterday I was in traffic at black wall tunnel, I saw a 2019 Range rover next to me, I looked into the car I can see two lights on the dash, one is Red the other is an amber triangle, all is not well grin grin. My point is any car can generate electrical fault irrespective of make model or year

Not true though just cos Ireland is RHD country does not mean all cars made there is RHD, for example the range rover sport is a good example,

LHD Range Rovers are made for foreign markets and not for use in the UK. Mercedes Benz also produce RHD for foreign markets and not used in Germany.

This is my point LHD car can be made in Ireland too for export. Also saying LHD is for export only is not truem there is no law preventing anyone from driving and owning a LHD car in the whole of Europe the Uk inclusive, in 2005 I owned a LHD BMW 325 in the Uk.I shipped it to 9ja and sold it on Nairaland 2008.

Hello Guys, with the protesting with Bolt, is it worth it still registering with them? Can I still make my weekly target with just one app? I am a new driver and haven't even done my first ride. I took delivery of my car yesterday. I have Uber all setup and am good to go but throughout today,I didn't see any request. All I keep getting is You're online / Finding Trips. Is this normal. Although I no comot for my Office area in Fagba so technically not like I was ready to accept any request, I was just test running. Please I need advise from an Experienced Driver. Thanks

I think people don't want to pay d cost of insurance because it is higher than Rhd in uk.. and Rhd is cosmopolitan as well

lol it would be but this is not the point though, I was just trying to establish the fact the there is nothing stopping one from using a LHD in the UK

There is Fire on the mountain o lols
The new tyre I just bought last month to the Right Back side of my Car... I just bent down to check it today ND I noticed it's already wearing from the inner side

Honda Accord 2006 DC please which components on the back can be responsible for that ...coz I did alignment of the back side after getting the tyre ND the Man said it was fine then

September now Tyre has started chopping from the inner part which means if I do long journey I might loose the tyre


Please what's the solution I need Gurus o so that I can guide my mechanic �

You need a better alignment. Like most places in Nigeria he did the toe and not the camber. Your car is knock-kneed. You can see it in your picture.

The Confusion in town is what's bothering me some school r saying alignment some others are saying No alignment for back

Even when I posted it on a Honda Page on Facebook among whites oh my Gosh they really argued on my matter
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by Johnsonkeyz2019: 10:14am On Sep 23, 2019
Though I had it fixed somehow Sha went to Gate in Ibadan ND they fixed the Camber or so coz even the tire was kinda bent I guess what they call Negative Camber

But this is it after the Fix

Next is I want to do alignment ND wheel balancing this week coz on Sunday when I sped on a Good express I noticed some vibrations tho like I said I just changed to the newly affected tyre ND I've not done balancing since then

That's what I keep saying about diagnosing cars without seeing the actual car. In this case though, I'm 95% sure that's your problem.

Why wasn't alignment and balancing done at same time? Camber is PART of alignment.. did you watch the video? They're charging you extra for things that are included.

[Hello friends thanks for all your advice ... Am planning to get a Toyota Camry 2007 or 2008 or 2009 , 4plugs Engine, Nigeria used as my next car what are the common or major problems associated with this model of Toyota ?.... Am new to the Toyota brand ...
What is the cost of automatic gear transmission and 4 plugs Engine for this model ?]
If you have enough funds, avoid 2009 model amd below. Go for 2010 and above.
2007, 2008 and 2009 models uses the 2.4L engine which is synonymous with burning oil. The 2010 and above uses the 2.5L engine.

[quote author=mu2sa2 post=82435246]I'm just curious - how reliable is a tracker on a car. Since it's installed all over by so many people, would it's location not be easily found out and then disabled?[/quotes

About your tracker won't be easily detected is our selling point, even you would find it hard location the tracker after installation. thanks in anticipation.

Good morning

Re: Car Talk Chat Room by lexini: 7:24am On Sep 26, 2019
Good morning gurus,

The scariest thing happened just now

My mum entered her car and the car just started by itself - the key was still in her hand (car doesn't have remote).

It is a 2004 Toyota sienna xle, she got it last month tokunbo. she's freaking out now.

What is the likely reason for this?
