AngryIgboDon:
You have distributed this propaganda over the years and people chose to ignore you because they know you are very ignorant.

Oga, CIVIC IS THE MOST USELESS CAR TO USE IN EHAILING.

That car is very plastic in nature and always feel like something that will divide in two if on high speed.

The Two best cars for ehailing are Corrola 03-07 and Camry 03-05 (4 plugs). As a plus, camry 2004 is the most rugged car to use in this racket. Take it from a veteran that have used different cars and different years for this job.

Please stop misleading the general public.

Civic is a very terrible car for ehailing. Its not strong, it has a nasty interior, faulty airbag warnings, low ground clearance that can damage your bottom plate or exhaust, prone to hub pulling like most honda cars and at the extreme engine issues.

For the fact you promote that civic and people keep quite does not mean its the right car. Civic like every honda car of older models are utterly useless and terrible.

Please take your time oo.
I have put my reputation on the line over the years on nairaland. And my main focus is to enlighten and create awareness to this forum ... ...

Uber .... I have been doing uber 1 year after uber starting operating in Nigeria.. People at the time were bandwagon camry and Corolla up and down..
As a business man I decided to think outside the box and go with 07 Elantra.. It was cheap and rugged at the time compare to the Corolla or camry.. I stated on these forum that the price of Elantra will soon go up .. About a year or so later , ehailing took a turn for the worse and the cost of buying elantra or camry or Corolla didnt justify my bottom line........

As your business or personal environment changes. You have to either adjust or look for alternatives or find something else to do. So I decided to try using Honda civic 03 .. I did a test run for few months to 1 year plus .. I then realise that the civics 03 was rugged and easy to maintain.. And most importantly it was cheaper for me .. Now given the fact that Civic has a low ground clearance I than decided to change rims and tires to 1 size bigger to solve that issue.. Till now it has been civic 03 to 05 for me.. I have never had any issues at all or any of my drivers had ever complain..


Just with any other vehicles, you have to find the rite mechanicthat know what they are doing to attend to any issues that might arise........



Conclusion.....I humbly say that I am in a better position than you on these matter.. Honda Civic is more essentially needed more than ever before due to the unstable naira .. As of today November 20th 2020 1 US$ equals 480Naira.. Cost of cars has gone up and naija used cars are not reliable for uber .....


Ps.. You need to be calming down in these uber business and take advice from the elders in this business....

OJURONGBE1:
I don't think we should be divisive about this nomination. The message is clear, the tool should be given to a member of this thread, who's not only active but contributes to the onboarding of new ehailing drivers.

Folks like Izzou, Chilex, Northbird, Pope, eherbal, Jessusson2020, Shollywendy, Baba dee, Tojah (before he got a better job), Adex, Chucsmoore, Felicity, Angryigboman, luxurydriversng and Jaydee have been very helpful before the advent of capitalist like Jpworld grin .They are the ones we should be rallying support for, not some fellas who crawl out of their cave whenever its time for giveaways.

They are the ones that come here to paint drivers bad without any genuine evidence and immediately you ask for more information, they will run away and never to be heard from.

They will not write premium contents like Angryigboman, that will help a weary driver laugh off his bad day nor use funny memes like Dru and Tojahh neither will they comment on a post to enlighten or scrutinize erring newbies but anytime there's a cash reward or mechanical tools, you will see new monikers in numbers.
Lolz very true.. People like free stuff, but the free stuff is part of promoting your brand , it is marketing money set aside ....

Thanks so much
Elantra is very ok ...but honda civic 03 to 05 is perfect for the job .low maintainence and very rugged than camry or Corolla in the same year .... With the civic change the rims and tires 1 size bigger for better ground clearance

Hi Dru, can I get thePrestone concentrated coolant?
We don't sell concentrated coolant for obvious reasons.. You need Uncontainmented water for that. Which I believe it is hard to get (some competitors will disagree otherwise ) even tap water is not good for the mixture, even if it is Yankee tap water .... To make things easy and simple for our customers, we advice the use of already mix coolant ..

And we made it much more affordable more than our competitors for those reasons I mentioned..

Veracruz is a comfortable and strong vehicle. Good for city as well as highway trips. Maintain it well and it will serve u really well.
God bless you my brother. You shall live long.. People think na because I want sell market I dey hyped the car . It uses a very powerful 3.8liter v6 engine.. This suv is fast bro , I was highly impressed , so impressed I bought 3 of it . The second one is landing in about two weeks .

Again veracruz is stronger than the Xc90 or any, alternative suv in its class that are compare to the Toyota suv.. Very strong and study ride .. Super quiet engine

The drowning nigga wan use me get free publicity, ain't happening. We move on
Well in the USA Volvo xc90 is not really very common . People tend to run away from it .. It is very cheap compare to other suv in the same category ..very cheap and that is why an 07 xc90 is not more than 2.2million naira.. Volvo is known for his safety. But fixing it in Yankee, mechanics will avoid it .. Xc90 are good cars no doubt. Have bought few in past .....

Now since I have discovered Veracruz via my car dealer. The SUV just feels much stronger with is 3.8liter engine. It is 7 seat passenger like the xc90. .but the veracruz has more leg room at the back and cargo space.. I can agree that the Veracruz looks like a mini bus. But from 2008 veracruz looks more sporty ,pictures below.


The parts for veracruz are abit expensive, but they are readily available in ladipo .. Parts dealers bring them in from Korea. Veracruz was built from 07 to 12to compete with Lexus Rx350 and Toyota Highlander.... It does comes close enough in terms of likeability and handling . What other suv comes close enough to the Rx350 or Highlander.. My guess is the Veracruz, this suv has speed. Lovely suv .. When I discovered something good I like to share to the world .. The Veracruz is a great alternative to other Rx350 and highlander ..great suv .. Hyundai are really trying......

People should not feel threaten by dru23. The sky is big enough for everybody.. I think outside the box and I like to share those thoughts and thinking with people. We need to give the consumers choices at times. After all I was given the same choices and opportunities, why should I hide it ...I believe knowledge should be share not hide coz of selfish reasons .

We move to.. My customers should wait for another great and price friendly items coming in for the Xmas soon. Thank you all

What's the cost of a replacement motor on one of these?
I was told around 350k naira , I think it is the same for Lexus rx350 too ..

Modify: plus the veracruz is a better option than the Volvo xc90.. The veracruz is much stronger than xc90 and drives better.. Veracruz has a 3.8liter engine V6... And also the veracruz was design to compete with Lexus Rx350..... Hyundai has really done well with all there cars..
So my brother have no fear it is a good suv ..parts are expensive, anything luxury will be expensive ...

Great tires.. Perfect for those bad roads ..All terrain tires and the A/c is winter cold .. This vechicle will make an excellent Xmas gift for you or loves ones ..

Autos › 2007 Hyundai Veracruz For Sale 1 OF 3 by dru23(op):
We at dru23 present to you 1 OF 3 2007 Hyundai Veracruz ...

The Veracruz was built as a luxury suv to compete with likes of the Rx350 and Toyota Highlander .. This was built for luxury comfort without shelling out big bucks .. So if you are in the market for suv ,look no further...

This is a better Suv than Xc90 , Ford edge etc. The only competition this vechicle has is an Rx350 .. Lovely vechicle.. It is in good shape and high ground clearance is high enough to navigate bad roads either in the east or Lagos bad road.. The tires alone are worth over 300k naira.. It comes with all terrain tires ,prefect for off-road trips and normal road ......

Our asking price is 3m naira .So come on down and take a look.... I was so impressed with Suv , I had to buy it three of them.. Keep in mind this is a clean title....

Okay, never meant to argue with anyone.
For whatever reasons, the day you use any oil other than high mileage, you'll likely begin to find out. Cheers!!
I just read some of your post .. I have two issues that I will clarify .....


1. Below is my very personal car 2011 Infinity G25x .. The first oil change I use was Mobil 1 extended performance high mileage.... Now I switch over to Pennzoil (not high mileage Pennzoil).. No issues with the car ,and the runs very smooth.. I have no issues using Mobil 1 extended performance high mileage at all .. The only reason why I decided to use Pennzoil was because it had great review better than Mobil 1 and it was a great alternative to Amsoil and other competing brands.. And most mechanic I talk to will tell me Pennzoil is a great oil to use .... .. There is nothing wrong using high mileage oil my brother... If your oil seals are bad or leaking, it is not because of high mileage oil , it is due to wear and tear ...

And also your car does not have to be high mileage to use high mileage oil..... ...get your facts straight ....



2. Your post on Sept 16th about the R134a gas. You said a good one will cost nothing less than 10k naira .. It is a bloody lie .... I will soon be importing one from the USA for half the price.. I will soon be knocking down prices of these goods.. So sit back and watch ... .. We move .....

Raysleek:
Could the compressor be the reason why the system is losing gas?
It could be ..the compressor might have a leak somewhere, take it to Radauto in lekki and have them check it out ....better to get to the bottom of things asap
Autos › Re: Lexus Rx350 2008 Ac Cooling Issue by dru23(m): 12:45pm On Nov 06, 2020
Raysleek:
Hello guys, very early in october, I noticed my ac wasnt cooling as it used to especially if I use it on high fan speed, the passenger front side will be cooling slightly but the driver side was just normal hot air. But when used on low fan speeds both sides will cool.
On the 10th of october I took the vehicle yo an ac tech in mechanic village first gate around ogba he said the refridgerant was low after checking with his guage. I told asked him if he was sure it wasnt a leak and he said since it's the refridgerant that came with the vehicle it might just need refilling. Nb! The car was bought in February.
He filled the gas r134a chems and the ac was working perfectly. About 10 days later I started the car and notice the ac wasnt working at all, the compressor was working but no cool air. This time I was convinced it was a leak. On the 22nd I took it to another tech and he said there was a leak, he check the hood and saw traces of the green compressor oil on the inlet port of the compressor so he told me the leak was from there and I was convinced it was from there. He sealed it up and cleaned the hose so if there was any leakage again, we would know. To my surprise on the 2nd of november the same issue occurred I checked the pipe he worked on before to see if there were traces of the leak but I didnt find any but I saw traces of green oil on the body of the compressor. So guys pls of there are any ac gurus ot techs in the house that can fix this ac permanently, I wont hesitate to patronize. Cc Gazzuzz
My wild guess is that the a/c compressor might be gone .. And if you do plan to get another a/c compressor you are taking a gamble .. Avoid manual a/c compressor at all cost .. The R 134a gas used in Nigeria are usually fake and will end up damaging your a/c compressor .. Either way you will need to spend money to actually pinpoint the issue with the a/c ..

My recommendation is take your car to Radauto. And have them check it out for you .. It will cost you money, but you save money and headache in the long run ..
