Hmmm....first wahala. I think it was a loose battery terminal connection in my Ford Focus approximately 120secs after I brought her home! Everything shut down and I kinda panicked. Fortunately tightening things up fixed the problem! Apart from a bad battery, she hasnt given me much problem since. |

This brings back memories......a cut timing belt, my mechanic could not come over to fix as I was a bit out of town. The one I was able to get struggled the entire day to loosen a bolt to fix the new belt. Car had to finally be towed and the tight bolt heated before he could loosen and do the fix! |

None particularly comes to mind but I used it as a learning opportunity. If you do adequate pre purchase due diligence and then follow through by being proactive with maintenance after purchase, owning a car shouldn't be a tedious affair. I4C14U2 |

Let me share mine.... As i was driving along muritala mohammed way (agric area, ilorin) i noticed that the needle on my tachometer suddenly dropped from 2800 to zero in motion, the car slowed down and finally stalled.... I had the brains to quickly park it before coming to a halt on that kind of busy road... Anyway, i opened the bonnet to figure out what was going on, started the car and noticed the starter revolved faster than usual... Chooii!!! I felt doomed!!? Called a clown nearby, he just put a spanner here and there, told me to start it and he said "oga your engine don knock, go buy another one"... At first, i nearly fainted, but i later thought; there is water in the radiator, fan is still spinning, i serviced it 3wks ago, this engine cannot knock jare.... Finally called a genuine mecho, he took off a compartment at the side of the engine, and that was it... A snapped timing belt and a cracked water pump.... All caused by a faulty engine seat (my car is very old tho) well, we changed all for about 5500... Started the car, and still driving it till today!!! 2 Likes 1 Share |

lomomike: Mr lomomike, the guy was only pulling your legs na, but this your reply put smiles on my face Well op my own problem only lasted 1 minute, after buying fuel from the pump, I parked and got down to ask the price of engine oil. When I got back to start the car, the lights only came on no crank. Tried for like a zillion times till the car responded after that no wahala again |

The first issue l had with my car was when l was coming from lagos to uyo,my gear box oil pipe cut and spill off the oil till the car stoped and l call my mech in lag and he said l need to change the gearbox,so l had to sleep with the car till the following day l meet one local mech they and then it was discovered that it is the hose that cut and all l needed to do was to change the hose and refill the gearbox oil and the problem was solved. |
