Removed my car battery to jump start another car without knowing that once my car battery is removed, the car has to reset itself and thereby would be stopping every interval.. Once I apply my brake, it would go off and I have neutralize the gear to start it again... Imagine the insults I got on the road in the morning traffic cos of the break and quench.....then he worst of it all is the thing now decided to do the worst at Fela shrine that evening.. I didn't even mind but I drove the car from Lagos to East the very next morning.. The whole resetting mode corrected itself when I got to Asaba Delta state cos since I'm in a free road, I didn't have to use the break all time like on a busy Lagos roads. It wasn't easy, only an experienced driver can do that
Honda? I guess. A very useless car brand.

You car has an unresolved issue which the ECU had tried to manage by adapting the fuel trims and throttle position.

Get a proper tech to do a proper diagnosis.

Terrible.

The mechanic came to pick the car early that morning for repairs and returned it later in the evening.

I drove out the following morning only for the car to burst into flames on high speed. How I managed to pull the car to a stop is still a mistery till this moment.

Unfortunately, damage was extensive and had to sell it as scrap.

The disappointing part of it is that I informed the mechanic immediately after the incidence, up till this moment he has not called back to show the smallest of empathy.

Terrible experience I must say. www.nairaland.com/attachments/5620672_img3340_jpeg3b54abff30f9964f2166eb6b3c2eac13

Arghh!

A very terrible experience watching Ur car burn. So sorry man.

At Ikoku in Port Harcourt, where I went to fix my bike. I was told bearing could possibly be causing one disturbing noise from the rear tire. So wen I got there. the mechanic I Met proposed to change front n back bearing, during the cos of the work, he almost changed everything in the bike. Making me buy parts n spending all I had on me, but still the noise still continued and couldn't even run anymore, he even wanted to loose my engine and change piston n rings for 30k. But I later met an expert who only noticed the wheel was not well seated and got it fixed for just 1k
Powerbike or okada

What did you do?
nothing, sat there silent all through till I got home... tho the man is older than I am and had been nice in the past. I just excused him from the girls and gave him a stern warning if anything goes wrong with the car he will rot.. well I'm the patient type..

My mechanic forgot to tighten the wheels nut. It came off a few kilometres from his shop. I nearly had an accident!
Same happened to me last month. I was freaking embarrassed in the middle of the road
