₦airaland Forum

GforGee:
Y'all should try to understand each other and not throw jabs (I wonder why you even enjoy that ). Dru is based in USA, and every mechanic there is competent, thus making him carry the same mentality to Nigeria that any mechanic (roadside or otherwise) should be competent. My guys here for Naija knows better about Nigerian mechanics that not all are good (as a matter of fact, you have to try many to find a competent one). Since Dru have experienced lots of incompetency, he has made up his mind about certain things. I think we should see his point of view even if we don't see his point.
Mr Dru, I think you should also be calming down ooh. Don't go start thinking Nigerians are incapable, no, we are not, na our leaders dey draw us back. You will be shocked at what we can do under the right circumstances and with the right tools. For example, how many mechanics do you think are able to afford a torque wrench, which they need badly They will always want to improvise.
So next time, please ask those on ground and don't just condemn us, it actually makes some people agitated. And from what I've known on Nairaland since I've been visiting since about 2011 or so - No be everybody sabi take/absorb words for understanding.

Baba nobody dey vex here for him, but condemning in totality is not right.

After spending close to 30k yesterday, the simple solution you stated here worked. After cleaning the throttle body, the car started working fine. Drove it back to Lagos without any further issue.
God bless you bro

Amen bro

Anything for the house sir.

Boss, whats the street name for this throttle body, wetin i fit call am for my kazeem

I wonder why people belittle or condemn what they don't know. Naija no good na bad mechanic dey, if you get bad mechanic na your personality attract bad ones. Just simple physics.

There is this simple rule "Never force people not meant to be in your life in" negativity kills most of you. Possible lies in impossible so why condemn naija mechanic all to pass info here. Mechanic no good, car users na error too.

See anybody wey wan import mech come from yankee pls go ahead and stop shaming the good ones here.

Pass your info and move along, do you want me to go into details of what we Auto Tech face daily from car users, from over sabi to am enlightened.

Naso one good idiot believes watching how to fix airbag on YouTube makes him a guru till the spring fails and busted his nose or the slowpoke that thinks wiring was a piece of cake till he fumble and burn his ECU or the nigga that fixes his oil change and fail to place the rubber seal of the oil filter and thought he has done a perfect job till he was about to leave his compound and people called his attention to oil leaking underneath his car.

Respect all profession no matter what. Am not perfect am only trying to be the best. I make mistakes but learn and correct it.

Thanks bro, it's Honda Accord 05 (EOD) it was scanned, and code po122 pops up

That is throttle body position sensor gone bad and the signs you are getting is quite right like Common signs include lacking power when accelerating, rough or slow idle, stalling, inability to shift up, just get a mech first to get a carb cleaner to clean the Throttle body and put it back and test drive, or just get another one.


But there is this VTC that actually throws up this code once in a while. Just try d first 1 out and get back to me

hvac:
My car jerks when I accelerate, I brached to a mechanic shop and he said it's spark plugs and we changed it. It started just about 3 poles away when I left the shop in onitsha. I managed the car till asaba( maintained 40k/h as you can't go beyond) another mechanic worked on it till it refused to start. We got rewire to work on it again till it started and I left with the car still jerking, went to another mechanic who confirmed it's fuel pump, he changed the fuel pump and it continues, I wanted to manage it to a nearby hotel to sleep but it quenched on the way and refused to start. Please what could be the problem? Supposed to be in Lagos now but still in Delta State.

Boss specifics

Like car brand and year?

And if possible you can scan it? But if you can't; am suspecting multiple cylinder misfire. If that was the case then just get back to me here so I will tell you more once I know the kind of car

Gentlelife50:
My brother do you have any idea on how to clear this?
It just came up this afternoon, the car have never displayed anything on the dashboard before.

Boss that is Traction Control and Vehicle Stability Control indicator.

Did you by chance press the button label VSC or Traction?

If not the best bet is you braking system needs diagnosis

The Anti-lock Brake System needs total checking to determine the real issue run a scan and post the codes or chat me up with the codes boss

Once upon a time there was a guy who after so much frustration about life got a tiny miny break through with life and had a turn around at age 45, luckily for him Nairalnad was a place of solace

This guy was abandon at a tender age due to his mother marrying out of wedlock, from 1 bad luck to another. At a point of committing suicide a good samaritan decided to help him out by making him a fleet manager at age 40. This helper happens to travel out of the country and made him a full manager at the supervision of his brother to monitor the dude and expenses.

This dude register on Nairaland by 2009 and since then all the topic he has opened or drop comment has been a true understanding of a wretched soul and empty human.

Numskull let me teach the word of God a little the last person christ called a fool was in Luke 12 and he talkeda a rich man who finds his success as an outcome of his his hardwork.

The definition of been rich can be split into different term like having 11 Corolla, having a successful career or driving the nicest truck or anything we term riches. Which is different from wealth.
But further into verse 21; he stated it that he was rich not towards God, since salvation can't be bought by a Corolla then my jigga your foolishness is next to none.

Thinking anybody that is not rich in your term is a lazy person or a beggar. Baba your foolishness is at biblical proportion.

If you try rubbish in 2021 you see rubbish in 2020 format.

Lush100:
Guys,
I actually thought jpworld was catching cruise on his comments on blackbishop.
Cos at a time blackbishop took his comments as a joke.
I don't think raising the "anger" bar against jpworld is a good idea.
The best way to handle him is to ignore.
We all can't be the same.
His use of words is poor but his understanding of the transport biz is something u can learn from.
BB, take no offense, in the real world, he might not be as crude in relationship with people though; his business model is another thing entirely.

Move on sirs

But on serious note am still not angry, if not for shollywendy I go still continue to whine the BASTARD.

Baba since 2020 no bad energy around me,no be now e go start.

shollywendy1:
Sincerely, he should be banned for life on this thread.
He contributes nothing to this thread than constituting nuisance, hating on fellow men's success.
People like him can never be celebrated in life.
He is born to fail, and to be disgraced.
My wife is from Enugu. I respect igbo people alot being generally called my ogor, but let not see this Fool as an example of igbo. He is just a bad egg from the east.
The best to do is to completely ignore him.
I personally asked blackbishop to ignore that post this morning.
I appreciate all the silent reader's contribution.

Baba the poor man is just a fly that disturb your afternoon sleep....

Heftyceo:
I've actually been following this thread for a while now but I must say I have never been disgusted as I am today. U are actually a disgrace to men!!! It is not enough u antagonize and belittle ur fellow man,u now involve his innocent wife too?? Have U no decency Damn!!! People like u should not cohabit with other human beings cus u are seriously sick!!! U hide behind ur keypad and anonymity of the internet and spew trash all day long. Come out boldly and say half of these rubbish u say to ones face and see if u don't end up in a hospital or better still a mortuary. This is a new year,stop trolling and humiliating people cus one of these days u may pick on the wrong fellow and ur whole world will collapse before ur very eyes.

Boss I really appreciate you really, I know what to reply with but Men, I mean mature men don ask me to stop quoting the idiot and let him fade away with time. Our glorified fleet manager will wallow in his foolishness and die off. I just pray his foolishness doesn't spread further sir

glambo:
Blackbishop
You don kill me will laughter this morning

Your respond was epic.

Jpworld will finally jaapa with your respond.

Tell him to post his account number
I will help him with the 10k so he can send it to the winner of his contest.

jpworld:
The brand i use is gillete, and is only sold for 2300.

You're not suppose to beg money for such, when you collect workmanship use the money to buy it.

The only person that will get my 10k is gentlelife50 and am very serious about it. Just ask him to drop his account number, i might even surprise him with more.

Lol

So you get body odour too
Na y you get product to advise with.

My nigga you are truly a JANUS

jpworld:
Ask gentlelife50 to drop his account details, the 10k will go to him.

I have asked couple of monikers to drop account details, all they do is tell me to send it to my drivers.

This will be last post requesting gentlelife50 bank account details for payment

Oga you never ask me.

I wan follow your advise of buying a depressant

ThatNiccur:
Said I wasn't gon reply you any longer but I'd quickly do this to point out one of your numerous negative attributes, MANIPULATION.

I wouldn't do that though (post a screenshot of my pay) wouldn't put her at risk, but if it hurts you, going by your expectations, I am well placed and earn large, you can jump off a cliff if it soothes you.

I'd keep being a pain in your ass when the need arises.


Cheers bro!

Bros ask the nigga to post what we asked him to post initially and fulfill his pledge

radautoworks:
Thanks to those that shouted me out.

1) ThatNiccur for proving misconceptions about NLers wrong
2) the entire Uber thread (I won't mention names dem plenty)!
3) HeavenlyBang for savaging the Mercedes Benz thread only to get one at the end of the year upsetting them even further
4) Sirleke for his one man NL takeover
5) dru23 for his 180 forcing me to agree with him repeatedly
6) weyreypey et al because NL will be dry without him/her/them
7) pattyfb. Never interacted with her but she has helped many
blackbishop for doing his piece to help NLers
9) to be continued once my temporary amnesia clears
10) egunmogaji2 for savagery and frustrating haters
11) amdman for teaching me how to resist the urge to salaye more

Shout out to the Nay and Say.
I really appreciate you more Madam Radautoworks


Happy to new to you all, the year was a stressful one but we are going into another year of peace and recovery.

jpworld:

I can start with gentlelife50 payment, if he provides his account number.

Thank you

I need that 10k to buy depressant for my body odour boss

jpworld:
How did i miss this?

knapsack straped to his back, get me rolling on the floor.

Udu ezi actually smell terrible, so all this was used in describing Blackbishop.

If someone is having body odour, i will recommend ANTIPERSPIRANT.

Pls don't use DEODORANT, it won't help.

GOD no go shame our hardworking mechanic

Bro am not ashamed of whatever am called. Just ask your sidekick to point to the person am gamed bro

AngryIgboDon:
Please don't tell me this is your company name?







For the records, people should see the comment that is causing wahala oo.

I made it clear in that comment that I even heard he has body odour and smells a lot too.

This implies that this was heard from someone.

Infact, it is was someone from this thread that was describing him. I got the person's contact from his profile and called him to ask him something important regarding an issue with my car. Our discussions delved into "if I should get a mechanic from the ones we have on Nairaland".

He started describing them one by one for me. Infact the person said Gazzuzz is the only one that knows what he is doing but his work is very expensive and over inflated in price.

When I now asked him about the other one... He started saying terrible things based on his encounter with him. That he is fat, that he is this and that... Being that I was trolling, I decided to use it and make fun.

My hands dey clean oo.

Abeg peace everywhere... 2021 is coming. Peace everywhere.

Nigga mention the person here.....
