Kashif, Kashif where are you? Come and help your brother please. Gazzuzz, are you sure your advice is the best in this situation cos a jerk, 2-3, is a terrible feeling

Include the fact that you may also not have Kickdown when you need to quickly accelerate.

How sad. This Nigeria sef. May their souls rest in peace.

Naija mechanics are always quick to blame thermostats for every overheating issue. Removing a thermostat is not really the best way out if the thermostat itself is not faulty but you may also need to look thoroughly into other issues that may be underlying such as: radiator fan speed, radiator condition, water pump, cylinder head gasket condition, coolant leaks and condition of coolant hoses.

BTW, what make and model is your car?

In 2016 there's no need to do that. Even bicycle manufacturers don't even make spokes themselves

So its ok for me to say that "Its 2016 and there is no need to build a car. Let other countries build then we buy". We got to start from somewhere. See the amount of keke napep and okadas in Nigeria and not even a single spoke for the wheels is manufactured here. Someone has already beat us to it as you can see from the picture below. I have also added a Nigerian built helicopter and that already is a great achievement.

Btw, banana is still being imported from South Africa. What happened to all the fertile land I see when I travel around Nigeria?

Good idea. Copy that.

Dooms day prophet

HE WHO HAS NO SIN, LET HIM BE THE FIRST TO CAST HIS STONE.

No need to roast it then.

Haba. He deserves the same.

Very talented Nigerian gospel artiste. If u are a lover of Nigerian gospel music and you don't know Chris Morgan, then u are still about to start

Good guy. He was in my church last sunday. Great performance.

Really makes me feel like changing this Note2.

Lets make a bicycle spoke first then the rest will follow.

Great achievement in the modifications but I'm yet to see a fully made in Nigeria vehicle though. See more Nigerian "achievements" in the pics below. Well done guys.

Wonders shall never end.

Mr Omar. This is God's own country. Can't you see?

If you believe this then you will believe anything.

What has he done concerning socioeconomic or political stability in his own country?

I believe that pastor Adeboye will think twice now before re-telling his favourite story of how his car drives without fuel.

I'm sure his private jets also fly without aviation fuel.

Show me one website, or Honda TSB which states that Honda accords have factory defective ball joints.
Do you know honda suspensions setup is a sporty handling for an FWD mid sized sedan? meaning it offers very good grips and can accomodate hard cornering while soaking up road imperfections and keeping the car safe on the roads?
Honda sedans as well as other sedans, aren't meant to be driven off roads.
Ball joints as well as other suspension components are supposed to be checked periodically and any failing part replaced because they're wear and tear items. When ball joints are replaced, the ball joints ought to replaced with units meeting or exceeding OEM specifications quality wise and not subjected to hammering so as to drive them into their confinement, but the reverse is the case in Nigeria. Here, we buy fake chinko parts and hammer it hard into the confinement then drive it over very rough roads and expect it to last.

This guy make sense. Absolutely conclusive.

See as my babe come wowoh for these pictures.

I dey go change my profession.

I havent seen it but God will help you find it.

Serves him right

Serves her right.

I really wonder which mechanics you are talking about. There is no profession in Nigeria today that does not reek of dishonest people. Lawyers, Doctors, Engineers, Architects, Politicians, Police, Bankers....etc are all guilty.

The list goes on but the lowly paid professions pose more risks although it generally depends on the individual that you may be dealing with. Most are well below the bread line and just want to put food on the table for that day and hope for another in the next. They appear vulnerable to you that's why you want to cash is on the cheap labour that they seem to offer.

I think it also depends on where and whom you take your car to for repairs. Many car owners such as this op, prefer to patronize roadside mechanics because labour is usually cheap and they ego trip as they do that because they see themselves as the better privileged in the society simply because they own a car that has to be fixed by a low esteemed, illiterate, tattered and hungry looking mechanic. They are usually financially scared to use reputable modern workshops and would rather settle for the road side kazzeem.

Most of the poorly skilled technicians don't care about good reputation or integrity. They simply take advantage of the fact that penny wise pound foolish guys would come to them for their car repairs. Presenting cheap labour and in the end, scamming on parts prices and more importantly, quality of the part being fitted. If you go to Apo in Abuja or Ladipo in Lagos looking for a mechanic to fix your car then you may be setting yourself up for a scam. One way or the other you may likely fall victim to the parts sellers as well as the mechanics.

Using well established auto care workshops with modern equipments and technical intellect could make the big difference but it comes with a price because setting up a reputable car repair workshop costs a lot of money. Professional equipments for advanced diagnostics, repairs and programming are very expensive. The professional skill to deliver a good job on a modern car takes years of experience and training to acquire. That's what you are paying for and stop jumping around from one workshop to the other.

Establishing a good rapport with your mechanic could help maintain honesty and confidence when dealing with your car issues. Its not all about the money all the time if you make your mechanic your friend.

Whats all this frail attempt to reinvent the wheel here? There's nothing rocket science or intellectual about this thread. Please keep your phantom recharge card for better courses.

They should be teaching people on how to pray before they get on the these Nigerian roads. Too many blood sucking demons around.

Its all because of these crooked car dealers that I wrote this post. People are being scammed everyday.

But they are very correct in that advice. I worry also if I have any reason to leave abuja to anywhere in Nigeria.
