Not so much when you have fill it up Dunno why Toyota went from the dual tank design to a single one big tank design in the 200 series. The dual tank had a lot of advantages. Better weight distribution. Having two fuel pumps. If one went kaput you could still use the other.

Go look at places where such animals are bought and sold. There was a similar story in the papers recently a kid lost his dog and a few days later saw it being sold in the pet market https://www.google.com/amp/s/gulfnews.com/amp/uae/al-ain-teen-reclaims-stolen-pet-by-reeling-out-its-21-digit-id-number-1.69666305 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.emirates247.com/news/emirates/3-stolen-dogs-found-in-sharjah-animal-market-2014-05-19-1.549556%3fot=ot.AMPPageLayout

Same JJ from D4x4 and E4x4? -
Jeep Wrangler vs Nissan Pathfinder vs Nissan Xterra
desertdude replied to Chaitanya D's topic in Offroad General Discussion
Don't be fooled. Automatic is not better for desert driving. Plus it's got 300k on the clock. Most of it is already near ending of life and that means constant repairs and replacement for parts- 29 replies

Jeep Wrangler vs Nissan Pathfinder vs Nissan Xterra
desertdude replied to Chaitanya D's topic in Offroad General Discussion
Severely overpriced at 14k and a manual with almost 300k kms. Shouldn't be more than half that price. MAX 9k- 29 replies

Drive In CInemas - Car idle with AC on for almost 2 hrs?
desertdude replied to Shamil's topic in Advices
Old school proper drive in theaters offered designated parking spots as well as a big flexible hole like ducting pipe that you could stick in your window and it would vent cool air through it. This version of drive in is totally useless. The screen sucks and 180dhs plus your fuel for two hours of idling andd letting carbon build up in your engine is totally worthless to me. I rather watch a Blu Ray at home -
Right Engine Oil for Nissan Xterra
desertdude replied to Asif Hussain's topic in Nissan Xterra Forum in UAE
As the manual suggests anything with the 50 at the end for this hot climate. -

I hate to say it but as a pure off road toy Get the TJ Wrangler. Make sure it's a hardtop and not a soft top. Comfort is not it's thing.- 29 replies

I play skribbl.io with my 7 year old daughter and the Mrs. You'd be surprised (well I was anyways) how many words your kids know and can even spell them correctly! Also another discovery is that the Mrs is horrible at drawing! It's totally family friendly and no rude words come up.

Go to Jazirah Hamrah just after Al Hamrah Mall. The old deserted town is still there. Also Mawrid area in Ras Al Khaimah . Where Hilton beach resort and spa you can still find old houses and mosques right by the side of the road there Take the scenic route along the beach side to Rak Oh and drive within the speed limit!

There is absolutely no good or valid reason to be going that fast.

Get the car in your driveway but don't go on the busted ECU diagnostics. Do you own investigation. It could be as simple as corroded connections or a cut in wiring loom. Or even just a immobilizer issue. Last ditch effort would be a ECU

How many working cars are there in the World?
desertdude replied to Gaurav's topic in General Discussions
And recharging tech and batteries and their standardization. Just like you don't need to go to a Ford petrol pump to pump gas in your Ford. Even with Tesla only with their superchargers can charge your car quickly other wise from a normal wall outlet is like over 24hrs And most EVs don't have charging connectors that are compatible with others -
And the price of two is equal to four!

Never say never. I thought the same about a rare Range Rover left hand drive P38 with only 40,000k on the clock which had spent majority of it life in England away from the summer heat and sand parked mostly inside a garage in London with entire service history. It felt smelt, looked and drove like a new car. But the damn 2008 credit crunch got to it eventually.

Yeah been hearing that for the past 40 years. Also that right about now the place I'm sitting at should also be underwater due to melting polar ice caps. -
I never said that, on the contrary I said seems like you've already made up your mind up on the Volvo so go for it, Just understand what you are getting into.

Anything with a Nissan/Infiniti badge and a CVT gearbox in it. Run as far away as you can from it. But it seems like your mind is pretty much made up on the Volvo, in that case go for it. Great cars and a great drive but expect expensive maintenance and resale at the price of dirt.

Does the engine turn? If yes then it could very well be the ckp sensor as Barry mentioned. Also after having the battery drained it could also be immobilizer issues and just need to be reset From what little I know after changing the battery you need to turn the key into start position i.e not starting it. Let it sit there for 30 seconds or was it 3 minutes so the key and all the ecus can sync up again. Take out the key and put it back in then start it. I think it's there even in the owner's manual. Look it up I'm sure you get more precise info if you search for it.

Avoid motorcycles altogether here in the UAE

These new cars cannot be left sitting for long or else they will drain their battery and throw all sorts of codes. So the first step is to put in a fresh new battery or if the old one is still good to get it charged properly and I'm 90% sure the car will start right up P.S : throw that quotation out the window or use it as toilet paper because that's all that is good for

If you got some lightweight engine oil lying around you can use that in a bind. But spin the tires a bit before usage unless you want oil rooster tails all over the place
