Few days
ago, a man called me and said he recently bought a used Peugeot 407 and the car
has been giving him nightmares. One of the symptoms he mentioned was excessive
high fuel consumptions. He eventually brought the lion to me to diagnose, after
taking the lion to several other mechanics that couldn’t figure out what was
wrong with the car and spending almost half of what he bought the lion already
at those workshops. Immediately I opened the engine bay, I saw the major cause
of the high fuel consumption by mere looking at the Engine, Transmission &
VIN. I closed the bonnet and told him to go and change the transmission to
manual gearbox, change the intake manifold, MTB, Engine ECU kit and Engine
wiring harness or Swap back in the engine meant for the Vehicle, before I could
do further diagnosis or touch the lion again. He left, feeling devastated, from
what I could tell.

Quote of the Day
"Basically, almost all cars these days can do 180km/h. So, it's no longer about the maximum vehicle speed. It's about how a car moves. It's about fun behind the wheels.
Drive with Pride!"

Manual Transmission: Fuel Consumption
We had a lot of discussions on various topics during the 02/07/2016 member's meet in Abuja, last weekend. I recalled one of us asking specifically about manual transmissions and fuel consumption , and how to achieve the fuel economy claimed. It was an important question, because not many people know why they seem not to achieve fuel economy expected.

Created in 2005 by French insurance company MAAF, the Auto Environment Awards honour the vehicles and technological innovations deemed by the automotive media to be the most representative of carmaker and OEM efforts to protect the environment.
This year, prizes were awarded in eight different categories, taking into account Euro 6 standards and criteria such as fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and other pollutant emissions.
In the light commercial vehicle category, the first prize was shared by the Group's new vans:
- The new Peugeot Expert Premium Pack Compact 1.6-litre Blue HDi 115 hp S&S, 6-speed manual gearbox 133 g of CO2/km

All of the winning vehicles will benefit from the MAAF "Pur Bonus", a special offer allowing MAAF policyholders to obtain a €100 discount on their first insurance payment for vehicles purchased during the reference year.

Peugeots: Motivation or Inspirations?
Motivation
demands effort, while Inspiration is ease.
Motivation
is putting up with something to make something work, even if you find the
subject or process uncomfortable. It’s like being pushed. Probably because you
learnt that the process or subject will help you get there or have that, even
if you have to work very hard or struggle to do that, which could leave you
unhappy while in it. But you continue to put up

Why?
People watching me or taking interest in what I do have been asking, "Why V6 Lions? Why are you so passionate or love your Lions that much? Is there much difference between these Peugeots aggressively designed with high power and the conventional ones?"
Words don't usually express how you really feel about a subject, because words you speak don't usually express what you really mean. What you mean is really how you feel and its quite hard for anyone outside you to really know exactly how you feel.
However, this is my answer to all the above questions: There is a difference between fun and happiness. Happiness is a state of being, while fun is in the moment. When I sit behind my aggressively designed powerful Peugeots steering wheels and geared them into quick actions, the thrill of pleasure I get in those moments is what makes the difference. The powers and overall characters they posses are there for me to choose moments of fun or just be happy.
Ikenna, Lion King.

Appreciation of Peugeot 504 GL: Personal Experience.
![]() |
| Image found and taken from internet |
Sometime in 1980-1981, my father, Sir Samuel E. Udeagwu,
travelled from katsina town to Kaduna (the then Kaduna state), in his 4 years old
immaculate white Peugeot 504 GL he acquired brand new in 1976. On his way back
to Katsina (his family), he picked up his dear friend’s wife at Kaduna, who was
with her about 1 year old baby girl, to drop her to her family at katsina, as a
favor to his friend

Comment from a Peugeot 508 GT Owner
So here's my thoughts as a new 508 owner.
First off, I bought this car without ever sitting in one, let alone driving it! Crazy maybe? Well I did plenty of reading beforehand and it was almost all good. I am also a firm believer in the adage that "if it looks right, it is right"...

Consultancy Fee: N20,000.00
Recently, I started observing increasing number of Peugeot Cars (new and older) in Abuja and other parts of Nigeria. And I know I have something to do with it. You might think I must be high on something or full of myself. Maybe I am. But I knew how it was before I became Lion King. Majority of Peugeot owners in Nigeria, even outside Nigeria, now know who I am, spoken or interacted with me, heard about me, or some who have not met or heard about me somehow have benefited from my deeds or words on Peugeot.

Appreciation of Peugeot 505 V6: Personal Experience
As early as 1979, Peugeot launched and commenced sale of Peugeot 505, a RWD Lion, designed by Pininfarina, which replaced Peugeot 504. The first series (phase 1) of 505 sold so well and massively that Peugeot thought of and decided to facelift or revised the car. In 1986, Peugeot introduced the facelifted 505 (phase 2) into the market, which was a big improvement on phase1 or pre-facelift. This time, Peugeot added a V6 engine in 505, known as ZN3J, hence, The 505 V6.

Horn Menace
Few days ago, I drove to a place and as I was walking into a building, a thought flashed through my mind. "How does this Lions horn sound? Are you sure the horn still works?" etc. As I was pondering this thoughts/questions, I quickly rushed back to the Lion, pressed the horn switch. I smiled when I heard that unique Peugeot horn sound. I started wondering why I felt something could be wrong with the horn or why I didn't remember how the lions horn sound. Then it hit me,
