You paid for sand protector, wiper blades & 4,000 for bonneth nozzle on Oct. 3 2015 & you had all the items sent to you in Nsukka .
5 after, days you called back that you are sending back the nozzle, that it was broken, which was rather surprising because i personally despatched those items, not any of my boys and the nozzle was sealed inside an envelope.

You sent back a broken nozzle and demanded a refund because as you said, you have sourced for the same nozzle from YOUR BROTHER WHO SELLS CARS in Cotonous, of which i told you is not tainable under such a condition but was ready to give you the benefit of doubt & do a deduction of 4,000 for in your next purchase but you unreasonably choose rather to press for a refund which to me as a businessman is not realistic.

My name is not Santa & my surname is not Clause, i am a businessman, anyday you are ready for the deduction on purchase let me know.
@Bolded, the SUV is still being driven with the damaged nozzle till date. The car was in Bayelsa at the time while I was in Nsukka with the Civic and thanked you profusely and excitedly. I spotted the broken nozzle right from the park as the driver handed it to me and there were no particles in the envelope you used to send it. How could that be suspicious?

Why was the guy making so much noise for nothing if he got what he paid for.
Difficult to refund under such suspicious circumstances.
I'd rested this case before, as the cash involved is paltry. But, thanks bro for insulting me. You asked a good question and went ahead to rubbish it? If I actually got what I paid for, why would I be aggrieved? I'm aggrieved simply because I didn't get what I paid for and the guy at the other end refused to communicate. That was all. Moreover, N4,000 ain't a lotta money anyway...

As i was saying before concerning my gear box issue with the dealer and mechanic.

On Monday . i went to ladipo. before going I called the dealer and also called a friend i know very well that sell auto parts too at ladipo (promiseland ) before i got there i met one electrician . who said he has fixed everything on the gear box and that it was now okay . I decided to test run it . Thank God he was seated beside me . The gear was still fumbling as the revving was high when on drive .

I took it back again bery early on Tuesday morning and told the dealer point blank that the gear was not okay . He said he has a trusted electrician at illasa where he will know for sure if the gear box was okay . The electrician will have to work on the car gear box wirings to know if the gear box is faulty or there was some electrical issues .

My brother before going to Illasa I found myself running helter skelter as I was caught in the crossfire of Mushin agberos and Ladipo parts sellers fighting . What I saw that morning my brother no be small things na bottles and cutlass and other dangerous weapons the agberos and ladipo part seller dey brandish oo . As the kasala pick momentum na so every body start to dey run helter skelter .Shops begin close . Me sef I pic race ooo.. My brothers ben Johnson no see my back oo .I ran like 10 different times and at intervals as the heat was going on right where I parked my car for the stupid dealer to come . Inshort I ran for dear life forgetting my car and I had to run back to pick the car when tension cool small and that was when all those thief council towing van stopped right in front of me saying I was parking in a no park zone .

I shouted at them say abi them no dey see the battle going on for inside ladipo market? make them go there go see the fightings for the selves na . Abi them want make ladipo mushin boys burn my car ? Before I can say jack Robinson they all jumped into the car and said I should drive to there stupid office at one dirty street in Ikale mushin. Like play like play I was running from the fightings in Ladipo and landed into the nets of the council thief’s who demanded 25k from me . After talking with their oga for like 3 hours I parted with 5k to bail my car …

It was from that the journey to illasa to see the electrician began oo..

Anyway to be continued make i rest small PHCN don do their normal thing.

Nah 4k refund for parts delivered but found to be faulty (broken could have happened during delivery no fault of his) that made you want to tarnish luvinghubby image here? And I was thinking it was over 400k abeg send me ur acc.
Dear Gazzuzz, if the least car I have is an 8th generation Honda Civic, I know I'm poor, but not that broke that N4K would irk me some. The problem here is that there was no communication. Instead of telling me he has carried forward my cash as a deposit, he kept asking me to send account number. Haba! Jama ha! I be human being and I work for the cash na...

I believe this is how the wahala started. An account number was asked for and he was never paid / refunded.
Thanks bro, for understanding me. I didn't say N4k was a lot of money, but he kept asking me to send an account number and never crediting it...

I have done alot of business with luvinhubby. Sometimes i even collect parts and not pay till month end when salary enter. He's a down to earth man. I think he even gives people he meets from nairaland special treatment compared to others...

So this whole mix up is just clear miscommunication, which can be resolved amicably.
There is no issue here. All he had to do was to tell me what he said here all this while and I would have been cool with it, instead, he kept asking for my account number as if he was gonna send my money back...

Na wa o oo .. All this kin wahala na becos of Honda o. Come to think of it again all this started due to some simple misunderstanding by both parties . Its something that can be settled in a mature way . Thank God the issues are not something too difficult as both parties seem mature and i see this as the Buhari Factor . Its the APC change Mantra that is affecting every aspect of the economy that is causing all thing. Once again my brothers please make una settle this amicably .

How to quickly kill a Honda accord transmission.

I was called by this client earlier today to change his transmission ATF, I told him the price of Honda DW-1 ATF,my procedure for oil change and amount for labour. He felt the DW-1 is expensive and he won't be patient enough to allow for recommended ATF change procedure, he left to a Kazeem down the street who eventually bought this. Luckily I drove past there and discovered the operation going on. I decided a picture won't be a bad idea to show folks how to kill a transmission by draining and refilling a very hot transmission with the very wrong ATF spec.

Hope you haven't sucked up a bit of fluid into your combustion chamber via your air intake hose.
Remove your spark plugs and crank engine. If you observe some fluid pushed out of one or more of the orifices, there goes your problem.

Replace the spark plugs, then start the car normally.

Lesson: Always avoid driving through flood. It could wreck your engine instantly.

Thanx God saved me, the fuel pump wires were apparently damaged by rats, reconnected them and walla! Car is running fine n am not driving thru water ever again!!

For a normal 06 accord, btw 9k - 14k depending on voltage but if for a hybrid, can only do a refill.

Hello, guys....I drive a 2005 Honda DC and noticed just yesterday that the gearstick is stiff when you want to move from P to any other gear....even with your leg on the brake.
My mechanic tinkered with a small opening on the floor of the gear stick and it started working again...also, you can shift the stick without matching brake now.....is this normal?

This wahala repeated itself severally yesterday....what could be the problem. I noticed it after changing the cars engine oil. Please any suggestions as to possible causes and solution.

Hello Honda gurus,
I drive a 2000 Honda Accord.4 days ago, I drove long distance plus traffic jams,the radiator started overheating with it reflecting on the indicator,looked at by 2 mechanics who noticed a leak on the top.Changed the top today but now,at intervals,there's a hot steam explosively coming from the closed bonnet while running idle.The indicator is below the halfway mark still. On opening the bonnet,a clearly boiling water(or coolant) sound is heard.It is bothersome.
Please help me with a diagnosis so I can understand what's going on.

Could this be true? He says I shouldn't drive the car again until the gasket is replaced or it will knock the engine.
But I have to go about my business.

A lot of things could be the problem and no one can make a diagnosis for u here.
If ur dash indicator is showing normal or low temperature yet ur engine is boiling, then there is a good possibility that ur coolant is no longer circulating.
Do this small test. There are two big rubber tubes leading to and away from ur radiator. One goes into the top of ur radiator while the other leaves from the bottom. When ur engine is hot and almost boiling, touch these two tubes and compare their temperatures. They both should be almost as hot as d engine.
If both are much cooler than d engine, or one is much hotter than the other, then u have a circulation problem, bad water pump, blocked thermostat, bad gasket, etc.
One thing is certain, u cannot go about ur business with a boiling car. grin
