Hello!
Please I need your help on something.
I use a Peugeot 307 Manual transmission.
There seems to be a drag or should I say hesitation when I want to accelerate from rest (especially gears 1 & 2).
Initially, I thought it was the fuel pump but the issue persists even after changing the fuel pump. I later took the car back to my mechanic which he serviced the nozzles and changed all the plugs to brand new but I still experience it.
What can I do please?

Most likely ABS sensor fault.
I've had similar experience which I almost thought it's something with gearbox but after scanning and changing d defective ABS sensor (7k), problem was solved.

3m for something wey dey too comot front tyre?

I agree with u that 3m is too much for this vehicle however, ur reason for it is not correct.
I don't knw why everybody generalises honda leg-issues to all their car variants without getting the facts right.
For your knowledge, the Civic is immuned to this allegation. I would have agreed with you if it were to be Accord (up to 2007) or some other variants.
Take ur time to research it.

Nice one.
26. Calculate the real time put in for office. This includes commute time, time spent hanging out with colleagues, attending colleague ceremonies, when on an outstation etc. Everything counts as work time. You’ll be surprised that this “real time” would be way more than what you thought it would be before accepting the work offer.

If these is checked... I know of people that leave home 4am and get back home 9pm, 6 days a week!.... All for #50k

Really pathetic:
Being denied of having a personal life, family time,
Sleep deprived,
Stress loaded,
Bills upon bills that cannot be settled.

Career / Some Hard Lessons About The Corporate World by datjohn(m): 9:06pm On Feb 11, 2022
The Corporate world is not for everyone. He who has soft emotion, well..., these are what you have to learn:

1. First of all, your colleagues are NOT exactly your friends. Your basis of friendship is just that common work-space. Quit, and you'd find out in due time.

2. The office goodies like ID cards, tee-shirts and key-chains, are not to flaunt but to own you totally. Imagine a dog with a leash. grin

3. Don’t be too happy when you get a work laptop. You know what it's meant for, right? Okay.

4. Always carry a 'solution' alongside, whenever you have to meet your manager with a 'problem'.

5. Whenever you’re ordered to do something which is possibly illegal or of grave consequence, always get that 'order' in writing (I know why am saying this).

6. If you’re going out of your way to do something, let your manager know it. CC him/her, or preempt them beforehand.

7. The management career has more snakes than ladders. Know this!

8. The more cocky or daring you are, the more likely you would fit for a managerial role. (Disclaimer: This has backfired for some people anyway).

9. The more your responsibilities, the more your money. Or, the more SHOULD BE your money.

10. The person who says he knows everything and is in charge of everyone repeatedly has no idea of what his work is about.

11. In choosing teamates, people rather prefer "who is easier to work with", over "who is most skilled but difficult".
Lesson: It pays to be approachable.

12. Your manager hates you less than you think he hates you.

13. Your manager likes you less than you think he likes you.

14. The boss who says you can walk into his cabin if you have any trouble hardly means it. These stuff are only for the inductions.

15. Nothing exactly fruitful has ever been achieved of all those “meetings”. Its just so that it doesn't appear as if they are not serious.

16. Never depend on your company to make you grow. Your company doesn’t owe you anything apart from the package. Do stuff outside your office which improves your visibility and personal purpose.

17. A salary is not an entitlement, but a reflection of contribution. It’s a business deal. Neither of you are doing each other any favour.

18. Don’t bank on your past glories to think you deserve good work. Try to make a difference everyday to get great work.

19. If you aren’t efficient, your manager will micromanage you. That’s your fault, not his.

20. If you think there is something wrong with the processes at work always make sure you put forward your views. Standing up for what you feel is right requires guts. Good managers understand it and address it. Bad managers rebuke it. At least you’ll know when to quit! grin

21. Next time your manager talks to you about “Internal deadlines”, please, don’t laugh out loud.

22. If you want to get the best out of your subordinates, teach them something first. It is always a give and take. Conversely ask yourself every time “What’s in it for me?”

23. Blaming time for every failure is ignorance.

24. Don’t get worked up about performance reviews

25. Respect your company’s corporate culture. If you’re not aligned to it, quit the office.

26. Calculate the real time put in for office. This includes commute time, time spent hanging out with colleagues, attending colleague ceremonies, when on an outstation etc. Everything counts as work time. You’ll be surprised that this “real time” would be way more than what you thought it would be before accepting the work offer.

Fell free to argue these, or add to it.
I'm tired of writing. �
