GAZZUZZ:
The intention of this thread by Tosin ayoko aka baba40 was never to seek redress or get a refund, it was a smear campaign by a fraudulent individual.


After intensive investigations I can authoritatively tell you car is in perfect condition and all claims were highly exaggerated. The OP has stayed away from this thread even after countless mentions for him to come for a refund, replacement, or a checkup.

I can prove it to you again.


Baba40 if what I am saying is incorrect counter it.


Happy new year everyone.

How can this be true .

This is really a strong allegation, but looking at it, OP Baba40 has completely abandoned the thread he created willingly, which is a big suspicion, even after numerous entreaties from most people for Baba40 to come forward with proof to substantiate his allegation and, to state what he actually wants.

Your (continued) silence (is not golden in this case especially as you are the complainant and) can be construed as acceptance of this terribly sad revelation.

My dad had a mazda 323. I was quite young. Didn't know anything about cars. My brain used to think it was a big tudor battery

You are right , so many old folks still come to buy Trane batteries as they know the quality.

Truly, it doesn't have any connection to Tudor battery.

Trane battery used to be manufactured in Sweden until factory was moved to Thailand as minimum wage got too high for production.

gonkin:
Lol. I remember trane that year.

Oh really you know Trane battery, what year and what was the experience.

What is the size of your vehicle battery.

Your location please, if I may ask.

I've been making use of Everstart 75ah battery since early 2018. So the battery started giving me issues on the 2nd of January 2021. Leave it overnight and I can only crank twice. Use radio with car off for for 20mins car won't start. Checked the voltage it's as low as 12.3 to 12.1. When car is running, it's 14.0v with ac it maintains at 13.8/13.9v and full beams + ac and all accessories even 100w built in inverter. Lowest I've seen is 13.4v and that's with full beam flood lights. Without the flood lights it's 13.8v

Due to age I decided to get a new battery on the 4th of this month. I wanted the same brand. I went to a battery store, the vendor tested my alternator to confirm my claims. Alternator was good. So i asked for Everstart, that's 24k,but he recommended FREEDOM CRAFT, 25K. So i went for freedom. Immediately I put it in, the car cranks superb. So when I got home I decided to run a car vacuum off the battery to see its full potential. Vacuumed for almost an hour with radio on. Its dropped from 12.77 to 12.69v. I was ok. Now I tried the other test. Engine on, its 14.0v, with Ac its 13.9v with ac + headlight its 13.6 with all accessories its 12.78 for a new battery. So i tool the alternator apart and checked it. All seems fine. Putting it back a like well what the heck. That was 2days ago. Still drove around fine.
Yesterday I drove to the market about 3miles then back all was fine.
At 3pm I decided to just sit and chill at home with the ac. Car on idle after 10mins I turned off the car and went in. Barely 5mins after I heard a shuussssh like high water pressure outside didn't even know it was from my truck till my neighbour raised an alarm. I looked out the window and saw the smoke. Rushed to get my extinguisher. Haven't used it for 2 years and the guage still showed charged it was empty. Then I resorted to sand. Popped the hood and there was fire. Throwing in sand to put out the fire before it reaches a fuel line. Quite close to the fuel return line. After putting out the fire. My first suspect was the battery. Cuz where I work we've seen a lot of these explosions from battery from gas Gensets. Sometimes they just explode and it wasnt funny. These things kept exploding till the company changed all the batteries explosion stopped. I definitely knew this from experience. The battery had weaker plates. And i love my charging voltage at 14.1max due to ecu and other sensors.

Well I was quite pissed. Just glad though the damage is something I could fix myself.

Blade for fan clutch (melted abit)
Battery cables (easy fix)
The AFM(Air flow meter) terminals melted but i soldered through the night. If it doesn't work. Uses the same as orobo camry
Air filter element.
Few vacuum hoses
Battery seat


Other than that. Its nothing complex. Though I can fix it all myself except the paint

Im just giving an advice to stay off FREEDOM CRAFT go for the brand you recognise.

So sorry for your sad experience.

So many inferior batteries with weak cells in the market (like other goods actually). Standard Organisation of Nigeria SON is not doing anything about it except enforcing that country of manufacture be written on batteries. Whereas importers tell manufacturers to reduce the cells therein.

Sadly, most battery retailers stock and sell the inferior batteries more than original batteries because the inferior batteries are often supplied to them on credit, and they also make more profit from it.

A simple test to know an inferior battery is to carry batteries of same size and compare the weight (for instance, no battery weighs as much as TRANE battery in West Africa).

Thanks. You guys are good.

You are welcome.

I forgot to add you should/must do Comprehensive insurance not Third Party.

Hello people,

I'm about to give my car out to be used for Uber/Taxify. What are the original papers of the car that should be released to him and which one should I not give?

None.

Make photocopies of all Vehicle documents and including customs paper and give him to put in the car. Do not give him any purchase receipt copy or original.

Sorry about the loss.

The process can be fast-tracked by you and your client. You guys just need to expend time going there and ensuring they forward your case to Dangote HQ and the insurance brokers and lead insurance company (I can not put out their info here).

Meanwhile, get all the necessary documents available, (Police Report, all the vehicle papers and even a copy of the MCCD and death certificate, doctor's report of injured) etc.

How did she get to America without a DNA test on those kids?

Most people relocating to USA use tourism visa and then stay back.

Tourism visa doesn't entail DNA test or any test asuch.

Madness of highest order.

Same ASUU always ensure no one is punished for any actions/inactions whilst strike/dispute is ongoing with govt, but punishing some themselves. Same ASUU has never punished or reprimanded any of their members for sexual harassment, sex-for-grade, extorting students and any vice but want to punish members for obeying their employer's directive.

All these unions should just be proscribed once and for all. What are they adding to the universities than unnecessary bickering.

lebete3000:
Means they stopped you and took their time to check it right? Not like the date was conspicuous?

Yes, they stop and check vehicles at some areas esp Magodo junction, Mile 12 side, Motorways and other areas.

replete:
what does it mean when your vehicle color on the verification page says custom and not the actual colour?
cc: pattybf

Shouldn't actually mean much, but with our security agents one should not leave that or anything to chance or commonsense.

Contact MVAA to rectify it.

DaddyGngeess:
Thank you very much oo, I just check mine now and is ok, I don't really know about this before, but u said last updated is G but mine started with M and is ok,

This issue is rampant with Lagos numbers, and the letter G I mean is the first letter after the LGA (i.e APP/LND/EKY), for example APP 419 G A.

Baba40:
Mine is saying "Valid but yet to be assigned" what is the possible implication of this

Your guess is as good as mine .

lebete3000:
How do they stop you and know immediately your tyres are expired? Them put juju for eyes?

Each (original) tyre has date of manufacture stamped on it. FRSC (on their own) claims a tyre expires 4yrs after manufacturing date.

solonubinho:
First, license plate verification is not within the powers of the police. They are acting ultra vires ( outside legal powers). They are looking for bribe, please do not bribe them. Teach them a bitter lesson. Quickly get a very good lawyer to file a Fundamental Human Rights matter before the high court as well as a motion requesting the court to compel the police to release you on bail.

In the same vein, while the suit is filed, file a complaint to the highest police command in the state (police commissioner) and cc the IGP. Also mention the names and numbers of the policemen involved, if you cannot remember, mention the station and the DPO in charge. Also, in the suit, let the parties be the Nigerian police force, each and every of the policemen involved, if you or your lawyers can get their names, the DPO, the State Commissioner of Police. Your lawyer can do all these for you.

I give you less than a few days they will come and release you by themselves. But still continue with the case. Embarrass them till Abuja starts to query the DPO. He will weigh it and ask whether the 20k he wants to collect is worth all this wahala. Deal with them o, do not beg. I repeat, do not beg.

The lawyer most likely will collect more than the ₦30k (or ₦51k) to institute the court case: penny wise; pound foolish.

Most importantly, the guy will still be locked up at the station and spend the Yuletide season there. Perhaps the first court day might be ending of January.

But seriously, wetinLawyersDeyDoSelf? Can't each local NBA offer free legal representatives at every Police Station for quick resolution of small matters like this.

Ikpumbe1:
Thank you all for your responses. I am now sure that my plate number is not fake. I am at the police station waiting for the arrival of the IPO and DPO. A police man that was part of the squad that I spoke to still maintain that the plate number is fake since it is not on FRSC database. To them that is the only database they know. He also said that if they release the car, it may not be with the plate number since it is 'fake'. The DPO will have the final say when he arrives. After then I will know what to do.

I get your point actually, words are easy to spill than action.

However, they know they are wrong and just using it as excuse to extort you; conversely their ignorance does not exonerate them or allows them to lock you up.

PS: I want to believe some of the policemen/women have their personal cars around, check the website to see if any of their cars is not valid too and point it out to them (that's what I do to FRSC officials whenever they stop me and people I know over tyre expiration rubbish they say and it has never failed ).

So sad about the experience. You didn't commit any offence to be detained and locked up!

The police guys just scammed you using the excuse of FRSC, JTB and licensing offices inefficiency. The truth is that number plates are not updated on the FRSC portal for months i.e most Lagos numbers with G are not yet uploaded, last update was for F numbers likewise any other state number newly issued.

You should report to relevant (higher) authorities to bringing the police officers to book for their behaviour. Of cos, the DPO is not ignorant of the payment!

Spaxon:
Hello. I dunno if I can get help. I don't really know the specs of these cars. But I believe we got people with great experience here. My Dad's retired and wants to get one of these and we are actually inexperienced with cars outside Toyota.

The ZDX is beautiful but far expensive to purchase and maintenance cost high as well.
The Crosstour is equally beautiful but not as much as the ZDX.
The BMW is not as beautiful.

Meanwhile, I would advise a Toyota 4runner thou.

Finally.
